I'm 48years old living in California, I'm hoping to retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first house last month and I can't be more proud that am i now. I'm glad I made a great decision about my finances that changed me forever but now I can't seem to make any other smart investment .
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did.

Nice content. To me, trading the forex and crypto market is way better than any online investment 💯. I earn 15 thousand dollars per weekly from trading the cryptocurrency
I'm also a proud beneficiary of crypto investment and trading. I've made alot from trading the cryptocurrency. I earn $15,000 weekly from trading the cryptocurrency
Please I need someone to help me trade or invest the forex or crypto market because I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating.
Budgeting IS hard! I’m at the step where I managed to hold on to $1k for a year, mind you I did dip under the 1k due to over spending, but it’d only be for a week max. This year, I need to $5k minimum. good luck everyone !!
Some chronic spenders need jedi mind tricks to overcome their spending. I was thinking the same thing, it's literally just a different type of budgeting lol.
Multiple Accounts and Automation, automation, automation. Each account has a purpose, If it's not in the right account you can't spend it on something else
Yep, the way to go. I have a dedicated bills account. I automate a payment from my checking account into the bills acct the day after my pay day which covers all the bills for the coming month, they come out at different times but the money is already there. I do the same to a separate emergency account for my goal of 3 months living expenses, the same to my sinking funds for car, medical, vet bills, holidays etc. what ever is left in the checking account is for food, fun and everyday living
I have a budget because I like having it to know where my monies go but also don’t need it because I’m not buying anything past the necessities. My variable average was $1,100 monthly last year but my rent went up this year and since my fixed cost is now $1,100, I need to decrease variables to $900 to close in 2k per month max total.
Great video, im 23 with a bad spending habit, I blew too much money in my life alread, im trying to train myself. I’m starting my journey to save 5k in 2months
I think this works well until you have a family. Everything gets more complicated at that point, and having a budget will help you communicate your goals better. You want to include a few categories that you would splurge on that accumulate so that you can splurge out of that splurge budget.
Even a family can have a budget, but it would be a lot more complicated. To those extents, you have more people to split that "fun" budget with and all of the other expenses also increase. I think the thing about people with kids that I see a lot, is people get roped into buying every little (overpriced) thing their kids cry about at the store, or just spend a lot of money on things to keep their kids "babysat" like movies and games/gadgets that often quickly go forgotten instead of doing activities. Corporations know this and just keep mfging more and putting high prices on it, knowing people will pay it. These purchases may seem small, but if you're doing it practically every time you're out, over a year's time, it gets into the 1000s pretty easily. What's worse is after that, there's nothing to show for it but scratched up DVDs and sun-faded and cracking plastic toys in the yard. It's dangerous too, because it teaches younguns that buying things is a road to happiness, and it's a habit they could carry into their own adulthood.
@@JadeDragon407 Just to confirm, my previous comment agrees with what you just said. What I’m saying is that the method laid out in the video (not budgeting) only works in a situation where you are really the only main spender on that account. Once you start adding in others, non-budgeting can get very expensive. I have a decent income, so not-budgeting was fine until I have a family relying on my income. Any one of those people could have a medical emergency at any time. It was very eye-opening to suddenly find out how much we can be saving by budgeting. It also helped to improve our family’s communication.
If you dont mind revealing. On these strict budgets what did you live in and in what location. Do you think its bad to move somewhere with an expensive living cost if they pay a lot for the field you are in.
I come to the realization this is a never ending game, but I’m still on my 3k a month for maybe 2-3 years run I know I have to catch up so I’m doing double and triple time I saved up for a home now I want to save for two before buying one. I’m a minimalist this is easy for me I’m a gamer so I can see my outcome when I start my goal it’s levels to this
@@Retired-jr3qs yup it does. I mean if I eat out let’s say once a week on a Saturday with my girl, the bill will be close to 80$ for 2 people. A little more if we drink a lot so it’s manageable
Pay yourself first... Set it up on autopilot... trust me..., Have it go to a direct deposit at a separate bank at a separate institution. For example, send $150 to a different bank and never check the account except occasionally for fraud... Do this two to three times with different accounts at different banks and you will see a difference..... It funds are tight, just do $30 in each account
Still requires budgeting to know if you are going over 70% of your income. Crunching and micromanaging your own numbers is always the best way to embolden yourself to accomplishing a healthy mindset towards money. I have 13 different savings accounts to envelope budget. Of course if you are busy with other grand plans than you might have an accountant that does all that for you.
1. Pay debts... 2. Save a %... 3. Spend the rest...clothes, entertainment etc...😁 life is too short. Not sure🤔, but there should be an account in which you deposit your monthly or biweekly income and it automatically divides your money for you into different accounts...expenses, savings,emergencys, fun
Hey tommy!? if I already have a truck to convert to a food truck, what's the best way to get funding to convert it over?meaning getting the supplies I need and etc?
Are you Dominican ? And do you live in DR ? If so, do you live there from periods at a time ? The only reason why I’m asking is because I’m interested in doing the same.
I would be cautious using a debit card for everything. You are giving thieves direct access to your money. I use credit cards and pay them off. More thn once I had some low life losers take the credit card info and unsuccessfully try to use it. It wouild have been a bigger headache if it was the debit account.
I agree with everything except the credit card thing. Y would u invest your own money into something? Never heard of that. I made $127k last year only spending about $16k of my own money. On top of that, the rewards u get r amazing. I can basically fly first class for free a few times of year using credit cards
Things that benefit you might not benefit someone that let’s say doesn’t fly just take what you need from the message that person might can’t afford to do what you do to each its own.
Maybe I'm weird but this is always the way I saved/invest money, as soon as I get paid all left over from the last check gets saved, along with some of the new check, over and over. I probably dont save as much as I could other was but I find this less strict and allows me to still enjoy the small things I like without also worring about a budget. I still keep stuff like food to a low, for example I just have a bagel for breakfast, cook something that covers lunch and dinner, or just skip a meal if I'm not hungry. Still do stuff like vaping but I manage to still keep that to about $40 a month, ironically figured how to min the cost compared to people who smoke a pack+ a day when I might consume just as much.
You don’t use credit cards that’s nuts your missing out on so much synchrony bank pays my phone bill a couple times a year and it costs me nothing 😂😂 I dunno if I can take anything else you’ve said seriously if your not using credit cards for every purchase and letting the lenders pay a portion of the bill
I’d rather spend everything and more, in my opinion life is short and you should enjoy it spend it when you get it is my rule. After that it’s simple you have to make more to live, once you believe in yourself everything becomes easy, have confidence you will make more.
I really enjoyed your vidéo, you are very direct in how it can work, and what you suggest. You talk very fait and I have to répond to be able to complète my notes. I am going to pay up the remainder of my débats andin June I will be setting aide my first of twelve saving amount of 833.33$ to save up 10K$ to have an emergency fund, and 3 months of core expenses and living expenses aide. And if there is anything left from this put it in à savings account that I will continue to contribue to, in order to use for investments further down the line. You have given me the insentive to get my act together and do the 10K$ challenge. THANK YOU
Hey Tommy! It was great discovering your channel. I been paying my debt down heavily and I am finally in a place where I am beginning my path to financial freedom. Just needed to say you give great advice. I find a budget works for me fine. I believe when people start using a budget, they concentrate too much on the "frugal" lifestyle other CZcams money coaches suggest. Frugal lifestyles work to a degree but at the cost of experiences and blaming oneself for failing to remain in budget. Even if you go over budget on some categories (on your own budget) it's important for people not to beat themselves up going over. It happens. Most of the time I don't go over budget overall but go over budget in a certain category. I usually still have over $800-1k in my account despite these minor mistakes I make.
Budget, I hear a lot of times the trusted ppl on financial channels that I do follow say to not use your debit card, but to use your credit cards. So, now I'm perplexed 😂😂
Credit cards/score are just Americanism. I don't live by that system. I just save up to buy anything I want or need. It surprised me credit is frowned upon in most countries.
Good credit cards offers cash back rewards while most debit cards don't offer any rewards at all. The biggest downside to credit cards is the increased need for financial discipline. Assuming you're not disgustingly wealthy, tracking your spending and budgeting is highly recommended so you don't accidentally overspend. It's really about what works best for you. If you don't feel up to tracking, then debit cards might be a better option.
I pay for almost everything I can on my credit card to get cash back (I use the cash back to buy Christmas presents), but I don’t buy anything I can’t afford. For example, I bought a brand new MacBook last year on my credit card, but I didn’t buy it until I had already saved the money for it to pay off the card. I do not carry a balance on it and pay off my card in full every month.

Budget! Great video bro, inspiring me to set aside for my very first rental property.
Any recommendations on building that discipline to avoid spending on these clear wants and temptations?
Hmm, how about learning delayed gratification?
If you dont mind revealing. On these strict budgets what did you live in and in what location. Do you think its bad to move somewhere with an expensive living cost if they pay a lot for the field you are in.
"don't spend more than you make". Except you need to have a budget in order to know how much you make, how much you spend. 🤦♂️
Thank you for the fantastic advice.
Budget ❤ love your videos Guy! Taught me everything I know 😅
Thanks 🙏 any questions just let me know me know
you think not using your credit card is a good idea? As In you don’t care about credit more than having capital (cash)
I'm going to assume that 20% spend doesn't include housing, utilities, etc?
Thanks so much for the valuable info.

How I spend my check is $100 per paycheck for entertainment. The rest for bills. What’s left over goes into my savings to invest
Joel Betances does entertainment includes eating out?

You should pay yourself 1st...the way you are doing it your savings are scraps
Pay yourself first... Set it up on autopilot... trust me..., Have it go to a direct deposit at a separate bank at a separate institution.

Do you pay off your credit card each time? If not, look at what the interest rate for the card is. You might be paying more than you realize.
