You are not wrong. My 16 year old daughter has saved $6,000 from her 3 day a week part time job. When she started driving we gave her our 10 year old paid for beater Honda, the insurance is like $100 a month so we don't make her pay it so she can keep saving. She went to prom with a $10 thrifted dress. Her best friend got a job too, she's using her money to pay for her 2020 Kia Seltos, plus insurance and she recently bought a $400 prom dress. My jaw dropped. My daughter has learned the money lessons I taught her. She's frugal and practical and I don't worry about her financial future.

There are exercise and art classes. Each summer there are $50 coupons to the local farmers market. Bus fares are only a dollar. The trash bags the town requires are sold at a discount. And there is low cost senior housing but there's a long wait. Still there are many things available to make things a little less tight for us seniors. Goid luck and God bless

You can always have friends over for cards and games, too. I’m widowed and single now, but i rarely eat out. (Eating out a lot will help you gain weight, especially if you don’t need to.) When i do i tip well for good service. These become easy ways to save and you don’t have to pretend about your money status.

She still lived at our house. She drove 22 miles (one way) to the university every day, and the daycare was 3 miles further, which was a 25 mile drive back home in the evenings. She made $9.00/hour at the daycare. The last semester loan was $7,000 she had to pay. She paid it off in 2 1/2 years, and she was still working at the daycare full time during those two-and-a-half years!! She’s always been our most frugal daughter.

You got the same bodum that I have!! The best way to save money is simple: Just don't spend it!! Unnecessary spending is a compulsive behavior disorder. All you need to ask yourself is "Do I really need to buy this?". 99% of the time the answer will be NO! Then don't buy it! Overeating is a compulsive behavior disorder. All you need to ask yourself is "Do I really need to eat this?". 99% of the time the answer will be NO! Then don't eat it! Unfortunately very few people have control over their behavior. Investing your savings is a different story. This requires knowledge and strategy. Another tip is don't get married and don't have kids. It's hard enough to control your own behavior, good luck in controlling your spouse and kid's behavior. Of course there is a cost to all of the above sacrifices.

An $8/hr job when you have no bills is like having a much higher paying job, because you got to keep all of it because you have no rent, bills, etc. So if you were making, $20/hr, and had to pay for everything, like rent, utilities, etc… , you probably wouldn’t have had any leftover. So really, that was good money for you. $8/hr jobs were a problem for those who had to try to actually live off of $8/hr. I don’t think $8/hr jobs exist anymore, but now, $13/hr is the new $9/hr. It’s basically minimum wage. I am an HR person. and I onboard and enter new hires at a full-service, upscale, name brand hotel. Before the pandemic people would work for $9/hr, but nowadays people won’t work for less than $13/hr, which is the rate of pay for the dishwashers. Housekeepers start at $15/hr, when they used to start at $9/hr. Too bad the cost of literally EVERYTHING is also so much more, so that dramatically reduces the value of these pay increases.

Ok.. first I want to say that I enjoy your videos. However, a lot of this stuff applies to mostly kids and young adults. For example, you just said you lived with your parents, ate their food, and got others to buy your clothes and toiletries. Some of us didn't have that option then (my parents weren't about to buy me a bike much less use their gas running me to and from work), and some don't have it now (some of us have grown up, moved out, have our own families now). I couldn't move in with my parents if I wanted to. I have a husband, four children, five pets, and two vehicles. For the duration of my marriage, it has been cheaper for my husband to work while I stay home, raise, and educate the kids. Now that I'm working and things are what they are with rent, inflation, etc, I can barely afford to stick 60 dollars back every two weeks. Sad thing about that is that I have a professional career right now. My husband still works low paying job at Wal-Mart. After he pays for his vehicle and his part of rent and bills he has no cash left. I'm doing the rest of everything else on my own. It doesn't lend to being able to save like you did, especially since you lived with your folks, ate off them, and got other people to buy your stuff for you and your idea of a good time was a walk in nature. It's not reality for most people. That said, I'm still watching your videos and getting tips that I can try to implement, but it's a bad way to start saying I saved ten grand b/c I sponged off my folks and other people that would buy me things. :/

Everyone here just lived with their family for free. My mom made me pay rent the moment I got my first job and I had to buy all my own things like food.

If you want to save money your friend circle will get smaller especially the ones that like to spend a lot of money.

Hi watching from London U.K. 🇬🇧 all true valuable points raised in your video. I remember turning 16 in year 1998 my first job was a cashier in a kids clothing store paying only £2.18 per hour! I had no idea how to save and really learned the value of money and saving only through having a job as early as that and the **discipline** needed to save. I saved enough throughout university and after I graduated, to buy my own property apartment aged 23years old. I am now 40 years old and I still have that property, now mortgage free!

I just got a notice that my bank was "upgrading" my account to a "premier account". They even used the words "good news for your bank account"! Except now they're going to charge me an extra $6 just to "maintain" my account. Um, not today, Satan! I didn't ask for this!

8:43 YES!! I just opened a new set of bank accounts for my children and me this week, and I offered up this very lesson to them. The bank profits on holding my funds; I’m not paying them on top of it! 😂

I love the idea that to make 10 000 is to save 1 dollar (or pound) 10 000 times. How to save £1?? Buy supermarket own brand mayo rather than a named bran. Honestly, that happened to me this week!

IDK it took me 2 years to save 10K 10 years ago. Making 10K extra is better than trying to penny pinch!!!! You may save 10$ USD but it is far better to make 40$ and only spend 10$!!!!!

Some things you didn’t mention but are super essential to living on a budget. Especially for those who can’t live with their parents. Buying in bulk. Eat what you have before you buy more food. Make tea/coffe at home, and learn some quick and easy to cook recipes. Quit drinking/drugs or keep them for very special occasions/mooch off of friends. Own a bike. Be generous with your time energy and knowledge and others will be generous in return Don’t get attached to a “lifestyle” you can’t afford, instead tailor your lifestyle around what you can afford without breaking your budget. That doesn’t mean foregoing everything you love, it means actually digging deeper and understanding what is making you happy and what isn’t worth it. Not buying impulsively because you can, instead buying treats for yourself as a reward for milestones or when you are in need. Living consciously and not habitually.

The $10,000- one time vs the $1- ten thousand times is the strategy I easily use to lose weight. I don't think about losing the greatest amount; I think about losing 1 pound at a time!

Intriguing. It would be wonderful if you can delve a bit deeper into into each step - the especially knowing your own race. There are so many variables to this and how to find or understand this race. Ie I just want to stop being a spendthrift.
