    I am on Disability and have a fixed income. While we are a 2 income household, I am very careful with my individual money. This entire year I have used my calendar and written down my expenses each day! While that may seem crazy to others, it has worked for me and I am learning how to cut back where needed.

      @Hughes Mark Well, I strongly advise you to stay away from self trading, you need an expert to make more profit in this space and I recommend Expert MRS EVIE RICHARD, she's the greatest crypto prodigy from USA and her works are good been investing with her for couple of months now. ..

    When I taught high school English, I had an assignment for American Lit where we read BF's virtues, and I challenged the students to live life according to the virtues for one week. They had to turn in their report on how well they did as homework. It was a lot of fun and got them thinking, at least I like to think it did.

      The only thing holding me back from giving five stars is my inability to upload a copy of my credit report. Otherwise *CreditPatchup@ gmail . com* is an inspiration to the following up of ones credit and cleaning it up. I have seen my credit score improve tremendously since signing up.

    "It doesn't happen in a day, it happens daily." LOVE IT! Really cool video, neat to hear how his lessons from the past are still so very applicable now. And I'm also glad to know Ben Franklin supports my habit of checking the financial 'stuff' daily.

  • @t_n_rasberry8387
    @t_n_rasberry8387 Před 5 lety +1

    Love what you said anout focusing small amount of time daily on your finances. How not focusing on it makes it slip away and become unimportant. I learned this the hard way myself when I was trying to do the things on my bucketlist. Took almost 4 years before I did one, another 6 years before I did some, and another 4 years before I did more. It's scary how time flies by so quick. Wish I saw this video when I was 18 because I probably would have gotten more things done by now.

      A magazine published earlier this month says between March and now, the percentage of the population having a perfect score has increased by 28% I know why, many of them have been paying to get it fixed. YES try to consolidate your credit so everything can be on a perfect stand with a golden score(i am talking at least 795) in three days. ALL CHANGES ARE PERMANENT. This can only be done with the concentration and smartness by Notablespy who has assisted so many individuals,i just got saved by him too.he can be trusted. I got my credit score increase up to 820 and from then my whole story change, i had enough money to stand on my own, i had my very big dream come though right now my family and i live in a house of our own and i already have two other house along side this year 2018.

    We have a house that we moved out of and we have a renter in it now. If we sell it we will be out of debt except for our house mortgage. I want to sell it and my husband wants to keep it. I am on a plan to have all debt paid in 10 years, however that will make us strain really hard and not be able to help our kids with college. Whats your opinion? I want to be out of debt....

    Didn’t know that Ben Franklin said a penny saved is a penny earned. I like Dan Lok’s quote better. A penny saved is still a f-king penny. You don’t have a spending problem. You have an income problem”
    I think being frugal is important because I know people that make over $100k a year that are cash strapped living paycheck to paycheck and others that make like $50k a year that have loads of money in the bank. Dan’s point is to develop a high dollar skill. So you can make loads of money ($100k+). But I think the part he is missing is you need to know how to live off of $50k or less a year when you’re making that kind of money.

      @@davidbown2707 I heard his book f u money was basically a rebranded rich dad poor dad. Dan Lok just added a high income skill as step 1. But the rest is the same. Buy income producing assets and repeat.
