One thing that I did that helped immensely (which I learned from another finance KZbin video), is call and have the due date for my cell phone bill, my utilities, and all my credit cards moved to the 1st of the month. So you only have to check and track money going out of your account on one day. It makes managing your bill payments sooo much easier.

Great video. I'm 65 years old and have been following this basic plan for my entire life. Back in the day I wrote out the checks and dropped them in the mail. Setting up an automatic payment for your monthly expenses not only makes sure you pay on time but also gives you a clear insight into what you are spending if you are not doing a budget. This approach has saved me many times when life interfered with paying attention to my bills. And believe me, life will get in the way, and automation takes one more worry off the table. If you set it up to pay a little more than your typical utility bill, if you don't have time to review at least the bill is paid. And guess what, the next month the overpayment is deducted from your bill.

One thing i started doing for peace of mind really was making my auto investments happen on a pay day. Having to pay rent and utility bills in the first week AND see my investment money leave the account for my bank account down to some low balances and having the floating room for a paycheck so that my balance quite literally stays close to the same is super satisfying

Another tip (that I sadly figured out about 20 years into adulthood) is to call your credit card companies and get them all on the same pay date. All of my CCs are due on the 15th. It makes it easy for me to remember when it’s due.

Last part is very true. I would definitely still monitor my autopay bills or have it setup to send me notifications when a bill is paid. Worked in telco and i've seen several people randomly get bills that are 100x their usual bills due to billing errors. I've also had a similar bill from my power company that I've disputed and got back $300. After you reach a certain amount in savings these amounts can fly under the radar.

These bills were a drop in the bucket in terms of their overall savings and other expenses.
@richardujadughele63297 ай бұрын
One thing I do is set up all my auto pay from my bank side versus on the vendor’s side. It gives me the control to dictate when and if the vendor gets their money, versus giving the vendor the permission to debit my account every period. Because how do you revoke that permission? I’ve heard of instances of people canceling a subscription but still getting debited. Also, I send the vendor the same amount every month. For the most part, my finances don’t fluctuate much, so this works out. If it turns out that I’ve overpaid one month, then I can either ask for refund, or just take the credit and pay less the following month. But my budget doesn’t get blown up because I have sent them an amount that I had already budgeted for. But if it turns out that I’ve underpaid because of a mishap similar to what you’ve stated above, they will get in contact, trust me hahaha. But I’m that case, I can dispute the charges with my money secure in my account, versus me being them to give me my money back, and waiting 7 -10 business days for a refund to be processed.

Working on a video series about this! It's not a super-simple question to answer as it'll depend on your situation and goals. First take a look at the path on my tech tree to read about the preliminary steps: thomasjfrank.com/techtree/ I also have some steps outlined for investing. Primarily it's good to start investing into retirement accounts, especially if you have a 401(k) or similar plan at work. You can also open an IRA (assuming you're US-based - I know nothing about other countries' financial products) to access tax-advantaged investing yourself. For platforms, I like M1 Finance or Fidelity. M1 has an easier-to-use app. They do have a $500 minimum deposit to open an IRA though so Fidelity is nice if you want to get started with less. I can't tell anyone else what to invest in, but for my own goals I personally like low-cost ETFs. I'm a fan of the index fund-heavy approach outlined in A Random Walk Down Wall Street. So I focus primarily on funds like VOO and VTI, which track the US stock market. I also throw in a bit of international diversification. Many people will say to further diversify with bonds, but I'm young and don't plan on relying on my investments for income anytime soon, so I'm willing to be more aggressive.

I have one question Tom. You said you use credit card only as a means to pay for what you'd be paying for anyway. At least here in Europe, this is exactly what we have debit cards for - they come automatically with creating your bank account and every card payment is essentially a proxy for bank transfer. Having "credit" cards is actually quite uncommon here (we just take a general-purpose loan if we need more money than we own). Are debit cards not common in US?
@facadery68923 жыл бұрын
Debit cards are actually quite common here in the US. The difference is, debit cards give little (if any) perks and rewards. On the other hand, credit cards can give upwards of 5% cash back in some cases or many airline points. Of course, the downside is the interest payments if you don't pay on time. Debit cards are useful for people who have a hard time paying off their credit card bills, but by using automated payments like Tom mentions, this would not really be an issue.
@Thomasfrank3 жыл бұрын
Ray covered it well - we do have debit cards here; you usually get one with any personal bank account. But I almost never use mine. I do use automatic ACH transfers for mortgage, since I can’t pay that on a credit card. But for literally anything I can put on a credit card, I do. That’s partly for the benefits - my personal card gets me 2% cash back and I have business cards that get up to 5% back on certain things. (Caveats: my limit is high enough that i never go above 30% utilization. Going higher can hurt score. And since I always pay the full balance, I never have to pay interest. So it’s just full-on better than a debit card) Credit cards are also better for dealing with fraud - if your info gets stolen, it’s way easier to dispute transactions with a credit card company than with your bank.

I really like that Tech Tree. I will point out that if I compare it to recommendations from Bobblehead or Dave Ramsey, it probably needs more information on being insured. A high deductible plan is certainly not for everyone, but since an HSA is triple tax-advantaged, it important to understand that before considering which plan makes the most sense. At this point, I'm trying to work my way through dipping my toes into the high-risk investment category. Having a tech tree for those options specifically would be interesting.

Do you have the flowchart somewhere? Checked the article and didn't see it either.

9/10 of this video was advertisement for the final part: Nebula / MOOCs just for cash. 💲 This is why people who are talking about „getting rich“ will be rich, not the user/costumer.

Wait what? :/ where do you live? Personally I've never come across this, I'm sure you can set it up easily but I've never had it set up by default nor would I honestly want it to
