    I used to think the same way she did. "if I only made more money" well, went from 15k/year to 30k/year and guess what? was still living paycheck to paycheck and overdrafting. Now I make 56k/year and learned how to budget, learned the difference between a need and a want. I bought a house. I have savings and paid off over 30k in debt this year (30k left to go). Once the debt is paid off I will start investing heavily into retiremenet accounts. I'm excited for the future :) Its not an income problem!

      That’s what I love to say! So many people double their income and yet still have nothing left over. It’s like the psychology of most people is that if they start making more money, they frantically look for stuff to spend the extra money on. Some people see a comma in their checking account and jump to the conclusion that they need to buy something.

There’s also covering your boyfriends ass when he overdrafts his account. She definitely could’ve bought cheaper cupcakes and Cancun shouldn’t have even been in the picture. She can still be mind without blowing massive amounts of money nobody asked her to contribute. You can be kind without throwing money at people. I doubt her income is a secret to her friends and family so who in their right mind is gonna expect their low income friend to be living a lavish lifestyle for their sake? It’s insane

      The only reason I could think to use a payment plan for those kinds of things would be those zero percent interest ones that sometimes get offered by the sellers. Take the money and put it in a savings account and you end up paying less.

      I assume because you are a student you are still young (probably early 20s). If this is the case a good financial education and structure could enable you to retire as a millionaire. You can be frugal but still have luxury in your life.
      If you were to invest $10,000 at 10% for the next 45 years that would end up growing to $730,000. And throughout your life you will earn a lot more than $10,000.
      There are people who end up millionaires by the time they are in their 40s with good finances.
      There is a book called the intelligent investor that was written in the 1940s and everything that is in that book still stands true today. And it can be used for investments from $10 to 10 million.

    This is my motto for my finances "act broke to stay rich". The biggest issue people have when they get a slightly better paying job is their lifestyle goes up in equal proportion. So yeah you could be making 100k a year, but if your spending 95k a year that's no different then making 20k and spending 25k.

    • @Arteolike
      @Arteolike Před 5 lety +39

      IT'S NOT 20 CENT COFFEE!!!
      #FakeNews. Please allow me to explain.
      The water filter for the GE Fridge alone costs $47.50 and produces 300 gallons of water (amzn.to/2LyqVCC). This means you pay roughly $0.16 per gallon of filtered water just in filter depletion.
      That Mr. Coffee maker (amzn.to/2xrwKt6) holds 12, 5oz cups of coffee, totaling 60oz for the carafe. Having 128 oz in a gallon, that would cost roughly $0.09 just in filter expenses, adding roughly 0.75 cents to each 5 oz cup.
      Also note, Graham mentioned the coffee maker makes 12 cups of coffee. Not ture. A standard "cup" is 8oz, and the coffee maker defines a "cup" as 5oz. Therefore there is really only 7.5 cups of coffee, BUT, it gets worse.
      The glasses that Graham posted (amzn.to/2xs89EE) hold 12.25 oz (the shorter cups, let's not even talk about the long tall ones in the beginning). Let's say he uses 0.166oz of cream (teaspoon: amzn.to/304e4fl), the ice displaces 0.5 oz and we leave 2 oz of room to the rim, that's still 9.59oz of coffee. With the $8.70 package of grounds making 5.5 pots of coffee, this would mean that it would each pot costs $1.58 and each pot would really make 6.26 cups of coffee, which means that each cup costs a hair over 25¢. This is deceptive and manipulative to fit an agenda.
      Let's not stop there. The Coffee Maker ( amzn.to/2xrwKt6) also uses 900 Watts, and takes roughly 11 minutes to brew and entire pot. Average cost of electricity in LA area ia 18.6¢/ KWh according to the BLS, this means it would cost an additional 10¢ per pot, or 1.6¢ per cup. If you want to measure the electricity of your own appliances, you can use a watt meter found here: amzn.to/2xApk7b
      Without even taking into consideration things like the depreciation and life expectancy of the coffee maker, the electricity needed to cool the coffee, the gas required to purchase the creamer, lets recap what we have.
      Coffee Cost (Actual): 25.2¢
      Filtered Water Cost (Not Even Counting County Cost): 1.44¢
      Electricity Cost: 1.6¢
      Other Petty Costs: 2¢
      _____________________________
      Total Actual Cost: 30.24¢
