I’m saving and investing around 70 percent of my income in the financial market(high yield etfs, stocks etc) pretty much how I made my first million although with an FA. I have a high paying engineering job, and I live upstate NYC. my expenses are low. I have zero debt, low rent and car truck paid off. So i can just save. feel lucky at this point I'm actually grateful for my advisor Dianne Sarah Olson handling my portfolio.

I paid off $13,000 over the course of six months. I stopped going to places where I was tempted to overspend (Target, Marshalls, Home Goods), limited myself to twice a month when it came to going out for dinner - including fast food - or drinks with friends, did my best to stick to a grocery list, and have bought very little in the way of clothing. I started on a path to minimizing my current inventory, which involved a strict ‘one in/one out’ policy. It completely changed my relationship with shopping from ‘do I want it’ or ‘do I need it’. The money I saved to assist in crawling out of debt was unbelievable.

I had always removed the visible lint after each load but I did not realize how much buildup was on the screen. It was taking FOREVER to dry a load of laundry!

Great tips you shared today. I have been doing no spend for 3 weeks and only purchased dairy goods as needed. It’s amazing how we don’t realize how much we actually have in food and need to use up. I only wash in laundry in cold water, I never used a dishwasher although we’ve had one for many years. I use it as my drying rack. I wear pajamas numerous times and jeans as well because I work from home. No need to waste the money foolishly. I am completely out of debt and use my credit card but pay it off at the end of the month. Today was the first day I actually purchased for me. I bought 6 summer tops for the Florida heat. I will continue the no spend challenge as my husband is loving it and we only buy necessities or when an item is needed. I wish more people would at least trying it and maybe because you gave great tips more will be trying it out. Definitely a game changer without sacrifice.

Seriously everyone has to negotiate your bills. Evaluating them every year at least. Renting or borrowing instead of buying-libraries can be a wealth of borrowing for everyone. Love purchasing at thrift stores. We have a CSS thrift store that has 2.75 clothing (and it is name brand, good clothing), $1 books-2/$1 kids books. So worth it! And get rid of paying credit cards. We got in that trap for years and years and it is life sucking and draining. We are out of it and done! Never again! Keep your money people! You earned it.

I just discovered today that you are *supposed* to wash normal (cotton) terry cloth towels on cold (or at most warm). Makes sense, since heat shrinks the cotton of a towel just as much as that of a pair of blue jeans, but I'd always thought I was supposed to wash them on hot. So, you can save on washing *and* on buying new towels by washing them on cold!

@jeanetteh.9240 Ай бұрын

If you have an oily-skinned person in your household, cold water will not cut the body oils on towels. The oils will turn rancid and your towels will eventually smell stale. Quality cotton towels are made with preshrunk fabric, and will not shrink in hot water.

Hi cass !! Your storietimesarethe best ever 😊 . Thank you for the money advice . I love the shop on Sunday &gas up the car the best . Yes it’s gonna suck but we can do it ❤🙏🏼👍🏼

@Clutterbug Ай бұрын

It sucks, but it's easier than I thought. My "all or nothing" brain can do these types of challenges better than trying to have self-discipline 24/7. I am NOT good with self-discipline.

Hi, I'm from Italy and watching your video makes me really think how our menthality in Europe is so different from yours on the "other side of the pond". I constantly do what you suggest on my daily basis. And when you do it you realise how simple and cheaper life can be. Your life gets lighter and your wallet heavier!

Hahaha well done for being the pit police. You did the right thing which isn’t easy or fun ❤

The credit card companies are so predatory. If you can’t maintain paying off a card as soon as you spend something it’s better to just cut them up and never use cards again. I had to do that because I realized that those “cash back/ rewards/ miles” I was funding that for everyone else.

@Clutterbug Ай бұрын

YES! They know what they are doing and it's gross. I went to a college tour with Izzy and saw MULTIPLE credit card booths offer students credit cards and "free merch". What?!

@Angebaby1237 Ай бұрын

I know it’s horrible!!

@rg-mi5hh Ай бұрын

They really target teens going into college with credit cards. Tell them before they get trapped into that thinking.

Trust this advice everyone! 15 years ago I was broke, in debt and still spending beyond my means. A viscous and never ending cycle. One day I said to myself, “Enough!” Started with saving $50 a month by treating that $50 as an expense. I started eating from the freezer and pantry (except for fresh produce and cream for my coffee). Speaking of coffee, I started making my own at home. Organized and used up any and all gift cards for essentials or a treat every so often. Switched car insurance and chopped $400 off my annual policy. Called my cell phone company and they cut my bill in half!!! Cancelled any and all subscriptions. Moved from my expensive apartment in the city to a very nice, large and bright studio in a suburb. I am now debt free and saving so much more than that original $50 a month. Do what she says - switch your mindset. It doesn’t happen overnight and takes a lot of planning and sacrifice, but you’ll get there and be so happy you did.

In the process you gained integrity!!! ❤Hurray for the pit police!! 😂 you go girl!!! How is your studying for FF exam?
