I disagree with him about getting a 4 yr degree that doesn't pay well if one wants a college education. It can be an eye opening fun experience, even though it's going to take work. A experience you can't put a price on. There's always graduate school and or going on to some other type of learning to qualify for a job that does pay well.

It is so refreshing visiting a country like Vietnam or even Korea or Japan (with the exchange rate advantage) where you don’t have to really think about what you’re buying because it is at least 30% less.

I didn’t experiment with individual scratchers; instead, I bought an entire roll of them, which cost about $300. It was challenging to convince the salesperson to sell me the whole roll-they thought I was crazy. The purpose of this experiment was to track my winnings and losses to see how much I would end up with. I maintained a detailed spreadsheet, recording each win and loss, the cost of the roll, and the expenses from the lost tickets. I even tried a second round with the losing tickets but never won anything. In the end, I broke even. It was a fascinating experience that confirmed you can’t easily win big-doing so would require spending far too much money.
@noeditbookreviews2 ай бұрын

I disagree a little bit with the number 18, getting a degree that does not lead to a good paying job. There are plenty of people who get good degrees and still struggle. And there are plenty of people who get good jobs despite having a degree that is not considered a high paying one. The difference often is whether they spent the time outside of school to acquire a skillset to get a well paying job. For example, getting a math degree can turn out to be extremely high paying like in the quantitative finance field. But a math degree will usually not teach economics and finance, so people interested in that need to cultivate those skills outside of the classroom. At the same time, it's possible to get a math degree and struggle to get a job because the only resume item that person has is their math degree or there isn't a high demand for that degree in the person's area, or many other reasons. A lot of people think that a degree should be an easy ticket to a good job but in my opinion that is not the full picture. You need a degree plus the right location, a professional network, and the skillset that companies are looking for.

Nissan Leaf? Not a good idea! Our Leaf battery lost charge capacity so fast that we had to get rid of it. If you research the issue with the Leaf battery you're going to be surprised to find that the company knew that the battery would degrade quickly in hot climates. They tested the car in the Arizona desert which resulted in fast degrading but failed to pass that information on to the customer. A class action suit caused many Leaf owners to get new batteries. Maybe you live in a cool climate and haven't had that issue? Our next car was a Prius. It did much better but it used gas with only EV assist and got 50mpg.

I stopped going out for eating and buying coffee to go. I really feel it in my bank account 😂 cooking is not a problem and I eat healthier. Should have done it earlier :) and I did the Mary Condo thing, putting all my clothes in one room. I stopped buying new clothes because I really can wear a different dress every second day 😅 I stopped buying books because I still have a lot unread. I stopped buying decorations because I have enough, it's just fun. Being satisfied with what someone already has is a mind changing experience in a capitalism based society. 😂❤ I don't use credit cards neither. And I don't have a loan but I have to pay the inherited debts when my mom died.

I do play lotto but I only buy one number at a time no matter how big the jackpot. I play because even though the odds are great, someone almost always wins which is why the jackpot is not usually very big because someone wins. Can’t win if your name/ number is not in the hat.

No 16. to solve the root cause of the problem is not to even go to restaurants in the first place. Once you step in and in the bigger scheme of things, a glass of soft drink is just a fraction of the total cost.

I agree with the majority of what you said about wasting money, but there's some things in life even though, they might be a waste of money, buying soft drinks in a restaurant for example, is something I wouldn't do without. Even if you just eat out once or twice a month, or less. It just helps to round off life, make it a little more enjoyable. I also don't think it's always necessary to try to be 100% efficient in not wasting money in other areas if life, example, buying an ice cream cone, going to a state fair, go on a vacation, it comes down to keeping a budget, and living within your budget. There's also more examples of what can be considered wasting money. Buying a brand new car, you'll lose thousands of dollars in depreciation the first couple of years, yet someone might think, I never owned a new car in my life. I want one and I'm going to buy it. Fine, just keep it for awhile to get your money's worth out of it.

A lottery ticket is gambling, but it only costs a buck or two. And people do win. I know. You also win by matching just two or three numbers. Have a bit of fun, especially since some of the money goes to charities, etc. Check what the gov't says it does. If someone washes dishes for a living, it could be a little dream that gets them through the day. Two bucks or whatever. Enjoy your life.

the thing is with todays options you could just get etorro or any other app that allows you holding fractional shares. Invest that 1-2 bucks in dividend stocks and be earning fractional dividends in proportion to the invested money. If you must gamble just choose a high yield etf or reit... at least you'll get your 10% return. Might not seem much but if you occasionally put $1 in fractional shares you can build the same proportional portfolio as a millionaire. The expense ratio might not be the same but the fact that you could do it is much more thrilling than occasionally matching 2-3 numbers in the Lottery

My dad said to always keep 10K in your checking and over 10K in your Savings. Then you can play every now and then or when a jackpot gets too big to resist. In 2018, I won $18K and I always participate in my office’s lottery pool. There’s power in numbers.

My mindset has always been “no one is going to separate me from my money.” I have my bs scanner on 24/7. The list of things I do not waste money on would fill a novel. The list of things I will waste money on will not fill a ten item “to do” list lol.
