I grew up poor with food stamp sources of food supply. My sibling, and I saw how my parents treated money with no savings. They never taught us how to save. We all go to community college and transfer to state schools while working part-time. We learned the concept of stocks, bonds, and savings from community collage. Fast forward now. We broke the cycle of poverty. We live half from our income, and the rest goes to investment. with no debt, house paid off, and we are in our late 30's .

My last wheels cost $3000. Six years later it's still worth $1000. No loan. Repair expenses so far about $500 total (alternator and 2 tires). Cost of ownership for me is $417/year or $34.75/month. Take that car payment!!!! I only insure for liability which is $30/month. I have no plans to trade up. I'm going to drive till it can't go no more, then find a cliff to push it off. I have this superpower called being 75 years old and no women to spend $$ on. My net worth is about $500K and growing. I cook everything I eat also. My total budget is less than $800/month and I haven't spent all of it yet.

Restaurants and prepared meals usually use a lot of butter, salt, etc. How come everyone is health conscious with gyms, yoga, etc. except when it comes to food? Like putting salt water in your gas tank but waxing it every weekend.

We did a 15 year mortgage as advised by my in-laws. We saved, waited and put more down, compromised what type of house we still live in (1800 sq feet not 3000+ sq ft). But, in our early 40's it was paid for. It's a fantastic feeling. We got picked on by family members, don't care. It was a great feeling as our kids were graduating to not have a mortgage, so we could help with college. Now we focus on retirement savings and fun projects inside and outside the house all with CASH. Rock on George!!! People gonna hate and whine.

When I was in my twenties, I was so poor. Investing advice seemed like a cruel joke when Wells Fargo was fining me $35 per transaction that I was over on my bank account. That comedy bit about being poor by Lewis CK really resonates with me. But now that I’m more advanced in my career and I bought a house when they were still cheap, I’m finally able to save and invest. I’m even excited about it because I’m seeing my investments grow. I just hope I’m not too late.

One excuse for not buying used cars is they’ll need repairs. No $10,000 car will cost you as much to repair as the depreciation on a new car. You could replace the engine and transmission for less than the first year’s depreciation. People scoffed when my brother bought a 100k-mile Camry, but he drove it another 150k miles.

After a few weeks of watching these channels I genuinely saw the light! We’ve combined accounts, cashed out our smaller investments and side accounts we had all over and started tackling debt. We now have 0 CC debt and 0 car payments. Working on a personal loan and student loans next. People want to hate instead of doing the hard work!!!

@@Snesboy09 This retired MBA says if it was me, I would invest the extra money that you're planning on using to pay down your mortgage balance. I would max out my 401K and then fund a Roth, an HSA, and/or a 529 for students in the household. If there's still extra money, I would invest that in a taxable index fund. I've never made accelerated mortgage payments because you don't receive any compounding on your home equity, and those extra payments won't help your cashflow until the day that your mortgage is completely paid off, which could be years, or never.

I took out a car loan for my first car. I put half of my net income into paying off that 12% interest rate. I made 3 payments per month for 18 months and the car was paid off. Then I had an extra 823/month to put into the next car which I purchased 12 years later. During that investment time, I put away $98K into investments then I paid ~$19,500 for my next new car. That car lasted 11 years and I invested another $108K, before buying my next car for ~33,000. That was 12 years ago and I am planning on buying another ~33K car as soon as this one breaks. Yes, I do average about 12% per year investing in the S&P500 fund.

My 17 yr old has almost $15k in her bank account waiting for her to buy a car this summer. My 19 yr old has over $15k, and drives a car he paid $8k for 2 years ago, and just finished his first year of college that he cash funded & had scholarships. My 21 yr old has $8k, also drives a car he paid $8k for 2 years ago, and is almost finished with an associates degree that he has cash funded. It's possible to have $10k to invest at 22 yrs. It just requires you to WORK and be self-disciplined with your spending. Two things that many people don't want to do today.

If you have to forgo life to save money, you are in denial about your income. And living like shit to save isn't the same thing as being wealthy. You go to to both. Live and invest. And now I'm going to piss off 80% of you. Here it goes. 100k a year isn't middle class. So, stop making excuses and go make more money. You only live once. I think I'll dine out tonight.

I agree in principle with 25% for housing but assuming you took home 50k after taxes that is only 12.5k per year for housing. Assuming a 7% interest rate that is a 180k mortgage, the median home value in my area is 400k. The math just doesn't work. With the current interest rates and housing prices. The younger generation will just be permanent renters.

The bit about food prices are true. My wife and I gathered the actual cost of the ingredients we use in all the meals make on the regular. They ranged from about $4 (for an instant pot macaroni) to about $22 (for French dip slider), with most around $8, and that's for the whole meal for a family of 4, and many of those leave leftovers. Our conclusion was that the only place you can eat out and not lose huge is at Costco/Sams's Club, and that's only 'cause they take a loss on the food since it's part of marketing.

We got a 30 year fixed rate mortgage with the intention of paying it off early. The goal being 18 years, ie when our daughter was college age. So whenever we had extra money we made extra payments. Paid it off in just over 16 years, but had that freedom to control when we paid more and when the budget was a little tight we just made the normal payments. That might not work for most people, but worked for us. You do save on the interest rate on a 15 year mortgage, but it is a higher monthly payment.

When i heard you talking about the fact that once you are ‘off the clock’ your time is worth nothing, it reminded me of a micro economics concept, called ‘ opportunity cost’, which considered the best alternative use of scarce resources, be they time, money, etc. If cooking at home is cheaper than eating out or ordering a delivery, when the extra effort to cook will impact you negatively, then it is the best choice. Ordering doordash, might save you effort, but are you earning in the time you save?

The reason is you pay WAY more in principal right out of the gate and therefore WAY less in interest. On a $300K mortgage at 6% int, a 15-yr term means you're clicking $1000 off the principal every month from day one (and that goes up each month of course!) Same specs, 30-yr term, you don't hit $1,000 as the principal portion of your monthly payment until YEAR TWENTY ONE of payments. That's the game changer.

Then recently I have been using and eating up what we have as leftovers and it has been saving on our grocery bill and it saves me energy from cooking every night and I haven't been throwing away food as much😁 win-win! I take all the advice I can get! Bcuz me and my husband are trying to save money for a house and emergencies while paying off our debts. It's been working for us.
