We live below the poverty line in Denmark. But we dont think we are poor. We are much hippier now. Have more freedom. We are minimalist and i make the most of our food. We are also saving 7.000 $ pr year. We are saving up to buy a house one day. We use 117 $ pr week for grocery and 15$ pr week for car diesel. In the beginning we think it was hard, but know its easy and fun to save money.

Good point. Never allow your checking to go above 2000. When/if it does, move it into savings. I will do the exact same thing with the savings account. Any time it hits 2,000 or 3,000, move the excess into my investment account...either ETF's, tech, or high dividends (for me NVDY and TSLY). For me, since I am retired, I put 2000 as income. Then subtract all of my fixed expenses. Then each day, I subtract that days expenses, keeping a running total of what's left. Then, I divide that running total by the number of days left in the month and that tells me approximately how much I can spend each day, and still stay within my budget. ie: This works in a spreadsheet: 2000 income -1000 fixed expenses =1000 day 1 -$10 subtotal 990 / 29 days = 34.14 per day for the next 29 days. day 2 -20 subtotal 970 / 28 = 34.64 per day for the next 28 days. etc.

We live in a high cost of living area. We bought on the poor end so we could get ahead. My husband works for government housing in Philadelphia and covers all of our benefits. Our health insurance is only $18/week. His retirement account is growing like a weed. He works a side job so he hauls in cash for working on our driveway. My credit cards are $0 in interest charges. I'm attacking one card, the one I put my schooling on. I use a Yotta account. I have a life insurance category, new car category, emergency, pet care etc. It allows me to cover all categories. Yotta does a daily cash drawing which usually means you win less than $1/day. Those winnings are your interest rate. We make about 3%/month. I have 10 categories I consider the most important and put $10 in them every time I deposit into the account. One is emergencies, another is life insurance. I pay the bills that are due that week. I tell you this because my husband makes a moderate amount of money. Not a huge amount. We live like no one else so we can live like no one else. We invest in ETF'S. I like watching the money grow.

Very good video today on managing money on a lower budget. I make a little less than $2500 per month, but as long as your needs don't exceed 50% of your pay, it gives you the capability to budget wisely. I am a fan of credit card usage in the right capacity and within reason. My shortcoming is not having an emergency fund built up, which I need to rebuild again. Also, I do try to keep my finances as simple as possible as well, since complicating finances tends to become a bad situation more often than not. I'd say another great idea for a how to video is how to save up an emergency fund, or how to built a savings fund for a car or trip on a lower budget.

I paid off all my credit cards, purchased a retirement property that I won't be able to live in until I retire😂 and worked with my student loan lender to pay it off in 3 years. Now that all my money goes into bills that I need, I'm not tempted to solve other people's problems with my money. 😅 it's NOT the smart thing BUT it's been working for me and my mental health.

Up until 6 months ago, my monthly take home pay was a bit less than yours and I got by using a lot of these money management methods as well. My rent was ~$1,000 a month and utilities were another $150 so that alone was half my take home pay. But I always have lived pretty frugally so I was just fine. I guess never thought of myself as low income during that time- just on a tight budget. I think of low income as qualifying for gov assistance like Medicaid, food stamps, etc.

But as you, when you live simple, organize your expenses, manage your savings, it is possible. I still miss my life healthy and with higher income, but this is where I am and gotta make the best of it. I count every blessing and celebrate even the little steps. Keep sharing this type of videos.❤ Gracias Agustin 🙂

I am in Australia; all of your videos make good sense, especially the part about not having a credit card if you can't handle it; this is almost every one.. 6:27

I subscribed! Ty for your honesty! I'm assuming you rent a room with $700 rent and $100 bills? That's super cheap.

I recently went from making over 1k a week to about 4-500 a week and it’s been tough! You definitely get used to a certain lifestyle when you can afford more.

Great video, this is exactly how I did things when I had a 5 year period of low but sustainable income in Australia. The beauty of it is that you can manage it all fairly easily just using smartphone and 15 minutes of ‘admin’ a week. Once you get into the swing of it, it’s actually a bit addictive and brings a great deal of stability and contentment to life. Great point regarding shopping around for your service providers etc. Any effort and money saved on bills is the same as earning more money. But again, can be largely done from a smartphone whilst chilling out at home.

You can set it up so money automatically goes into savings. Also it shouldn't cost anything to transfer it.

This is my favorite video so far. My 30 day unnecessary spending detox is coming to an end this week so I have a good handle on where my money is going in a month. This video is a great follow up to what I’ve learned! Keep’em coming!!!😊

You are so right on about "Tracking". I do it religiously. I live in Canada so it's slightly different. Each Week, I have a Bill to pay. From Credit Cards, Cell Phones, Car Registration, I live at home so I pay my mom Room & Board, then at the end of the month my car insurance then bank service charges are done. I buy what I need not what I want, and I save by brownbagging to work each day. My weaknesses are Dollar Type stores and Amazon but when I buy it's because I can afford to.

I would love a video about buying less/not buying while living in a culture that encourages us to buy. I’m American and Americans love stuff, it’s hard to not get caught up in the hype of stuff. THINGS!
