Some people are very good at saving money and have a high savings rate, while other people are very bad at saving and have a low savings rate or do not save anything at all. People who have trouble saving often don't understand the reasons why they are unable to save. In this video, I share 10 common reasons why people can't save money.
1. Not Having Money Saved
It's hard to save money when you don't have money saved because when a surprise expense comes in life, you're easily knocked down and have trouble getting ahead. Once you are behind financially, it is very hard to get back ahead. If you don't have money saved, it is important to take drastic measures to save money because until you have money saved, it is very hard to save money.
2. An Expensive Car Payment
Cars at the number one wealth killer because they are so expensive. The average monthly payment for a new car is over $700 and for a used car is over $500. It is important to not fall into the trap of getting an expensive car payment because they prevent you from being able to save more money.
3. Not Buying Quality
Although it is important to not overspend on an expensive car payment, it is also important to not under spend and get a bad quality car that causes you a bunch of problems. Many people will buy bad quality things and then constantly have to pay more because of the quality.
4. Being House Poor
The biggest expense in most people's budget is their rent or mortgage and the rule of thumb is that your rent should not exceed 30% of your income; however, many people spend more than that on their rent and are unable to cover their other expenses and save. This is called being "house poor." Many people are house poor where too much of their budget goes to their rent and they're unable to save.
5. You’re Living Alone
The reality in today's housing market is that most people are unable to afford keeping their rent under 30% of their income unless they live with other people. Living alone is very expensive because you have to pay for 100% of all expenses. Many people have trouble saving money because they live alone.
6. Your Vices Control You
Vices like cigarettes, beer, and lottery tickets often create many financial problems for people where even though they're struggling financially, they spend their money on these vices because they control them. Many people are unable to save money because their vices control them.
7. They’re “Unlucky”
Some people seem to run into more financial surprises than others and they often think it is because they're unlucky. Having bad luck over along period of time often means that they're are making bad decisions. If you always have bad things happen to you, look at your decisions and you might be able to save more.
8. You Don’t Earn Enough Money
Although it is important to cut out small expenses like eating out or switch to a low cost cell phone plan, the biggest factor that determines how much you can save is your income. If you are making a low salary, it is will be hard to ave no matter how many corners you cut.
9. You Don’t Have A Strong Enough Why
An important thing that motivates people to save money is knowing the reason they are saving. Many people struggle to save money because they don't have a strong enough why.
10. You Live A Chaotic Life
Some people are unable to save money because they live chaotic lives where they don't budget, don't have a plan, and are always stressed out, which causes them to spend more. If you life a chaotic life, it is important to make intentional decisions to bring order in your life so you are able to save more money.

The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

Thank you for this very thorough and common sense video. I have listened to other videos like this. But you are the first person that I ever heard that said you can save more if you “increase “your income. Other videos don’t seem to say that like . 😮 . I never understood that. So I think you are right on !!!!!

Congratulations on 100k subcribers bro! You have consistently work yourself to this point, openly talked about this goal and I bet I'm not the only one very proud of you. Keep up the good work! What's your opinion about seasonal jobs that are reality for so many? Quite often many seasonal jobs can give you a possibility to work your ass off and get a lot of money with relative ease and short peeiod of time but since it's seasonal, you easily end up using all that saved money for simply living expences during the period outside of the season. And back to starting point. No money left for any vacation either. Kinda double edged sword and you easily end up to this vicious circle where all the earned money are there for just making through the beginning of the next season...

It could be a few things. Maybe you're not tracking your spending closely enough. Until you know where your money is going, it's hard to cut back.

@elizamartin4263 7 күн бұрын

$10,000 for a decent car is a bit unrealistic if you factor in that a car at that price will probably have already been driven for over half its life. Unless you anticipate making much more money before you can no longer drive it (meaning your monthly payment would be a much smaller dent in your budget), you should expect to buy a new car within the next 5ish years, thus never going without a monthly payment.

I lost over $70k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Natalie Strayer

Unlucky for life...can also be who and what you surround yourself. It may be the support/not group even if it just affects your confidence and/or outlook on life. Don't get rid of them or fight with them, they are quite comfy with this...find new friends, outlets. Maybe the sour apples will learn from your having "Enough!". You do not have to say anything to them actually.
