I like that title ;)
I’m fan boying real hard right now. When can I come on the show 🙃
@@BusinessAndFitness haha, funny enough, I kind of met you when my friend (and fan of yours) said hi to you in Lululemon in the Domain a few years back, way before I did CZcams.
@@CalebHammer wow! True serendipity. I didn’t even know I was in the presence of the future Dave Ramsey
This is absolutely crazy!! I love that two of my favorite creators are fans of each other!
Travis needs to be on the show, would be great!
Great video! Keep it up 💪🏽
Thx for sharing. It’s always fascinating seeing how others live!
Love this video, thank you for sharing! Super relatable especially as I live in Raleigh and purchased a home here 3 years ago. Very interesting topic!
I live in Apex, NC and the taxes are getting crazy!!! But I LOVE my house and neighborhood! Great video as usual!
Great Video Travis. I found this one super interesting. I love seeing how family’s budget and what categories they prioritize. We also spend more on quality high quality foods.
One of my favorite videos! Would love a follow-up video with you income! I can definitely relate with the high cost of groceries. My wife and I rarely eat out and don't splurge on movies, clothes, or other entertainment which makes us feel better about the higher cost of groceries. We eat good, but also feel good!
Great video. Excellent content
Awesome video!
Great video! It will be interesting to see how prices fluctuate in Raleigh and the triangle over the next decade since the population is expected to increase so much, especially with the new Apple campus coming to the triangle.
Thanks for the video Trevis! Nice to compare. Very eye opening how little you and your family spend on things that you don’t prioritize. Such as eating out- spending less than $200 a week is hard for me and my fiancé. Motivating to see that we definitely can do it if we just tried a bit harder.
This was an interesting topic. I’ve always wondered how we spend so much each month. The little purchases really add up though. You probably get your PEScience at a discount since your affiliated with them, so that helps. Great video! More of these please.
Great video!
great video! :)
Haven't watched one of your videos in months. Glad to see things are going well.
Why not ? 😞
@@BusinessAndFitness some how the YT algorithm must have not notified me.
Great video and brave to put your expenses/budget out there. If you can afford it and these things are worth it for your happiness and daily efficiency, I don’t see a problem with how you use your family’s money. What is sad is so many people go into debt just to live not even spending for extras or want to haves. 😢
I feel like outta all youtube channels Travis has been the most consistent, not with posting/views, but with himself. The man I watched all those years ago is still the same man you see here. Very rare quality nowadays. Keep doing you brother!!
😌😌😌
Still loving these. 👏👏
Live it up Rich Homie! You deserve it 🤙
Dude I miss you
That’s it! We are moving to Raleigh! Soooo much cheaper than West Coast. But I know I’ll miss the pacific weather… great vid!
Good video. We're thinking about moving to NC. Somewhere between Raleigh & Wilmington.
Great idea!
Hi can you tell me what's a better place to invest Raleigh or Charlotte ?
Does your mortgage include any hoa fees?
so what neighborhood you're actually bought your house in? you mentioned good schools?
It’s the same in Johnson County and we know they’re gonna go up even more take Clayton for his examples, and that being a nightmare for the local
We bought in Flowers Plantation and Clayton has tried to annex it for the tax dollars but we were told the residents of Flowers keep voting it down. I hope it stays that way because we only pay Johnston County taxes and a small fee each January to Becky Flowers for everything she does for Flowers. It's a very pretty community.
We need more Raleigh NC videos please
Consider it done
My friends have Peloton and love it but it's way too expensive for me. I used to have Zwift but cancelled. I don't have the smart trainer so I wasn't getting the full effect. Now I just use my bike trainer and have an ipad on a tripod watching CZcams indoor cycling vids : ) It's not even my ipad, it's one from work that they let us use at home!
When do you feel the market may correct itself? Renting (from a standpoint of money out every month) is monetarily cheaper in Cincinnati with interest rates so high. Great video btw!
Hard to say… hopefully the powers that be realize printing money isn’t the answer
2500 a month was it a 2 bedroom with 2 full bathrooms if it has a washer and dryer in unit. that like half of the prices in brookyln ny.
I track all our buckets as well and we are looking at the area for a simular size new/newer home. Curious on home owners and auto insurance costs if you are willing to share.
Honestly not too sure . I think home owners is around $1,500 a year and auto is $150 /month
Great video....definitely can relate. Senior at NCSU and love Raleigh, but don't think it is worth it for what it costs
Go pack
What part of Raleigh is your house in? I grew up there and can confirm the exorbitant cost of living increase over the past 10 years :)
to cut down on other food cost you should join a CSA they bring it to you it picked that day basically it will last longer because you recieved it sooner.
I moved out of Raleigh in 2020. I have lived in Raleigh off and on since college in 2004. Talk about change, wow. It is completely different than it was 20 years ago. Less safe, about 3-4x more expensive, and 10x the amount of people. Restaurants were far cheeper, even just 10 years ago. And housing is unaffordable to all except for high wage earners or people that live in debt. I would never live in downtown Raleigh again. Not worth the cost. Hot tip (life advice), never live with an HOA! 10,000 a month is insane. Damn.
To play devils advocate we just moved to Holly Springs, yes the interest rates are nuts and no homes are on the market. But we got a steal on a new build, didn’t have to compete for offers and when interest rates drop and we refinance we will sitting pretty! Also Holly Springs taxes are wild, I can confirm lol
What kind of watch is that you’re rocking?
Look up “seikoakwatches” on Instagram
"The most expensive thing that's in our household" RIP Travis. 🤣
Great video! Thanks a ton for sharing your budget. Question: In regard to Megan's "Schoolbus", how do you use it to make money exactly? lol
Money invested at a greater % than the interest rate
@@BusinessAndFitness Thanks for the reply. I appreciate, Travis! Keep up the great work!
3% on rate for a car note that means your Credit Score was a little to low at the time. My car note was at zero for the 1st 18 months of the note.
the subs cost all most all of it can be work related so you can write those cost off because of your job and youtube channel.( so most of that 150 a month are not hard cost to you)
Travis, it's expensive everywhere..I didn't see where you put $ away for retirement? I literally live paycheck and TRY to live below my means. We're all trying to survive.😮
I’m never retiring
We sold our house in Raleigh during the boom and made a huge profit and were able to pay cash for a beautiful townhouse in Flowers Plantation outside of Clayton. We got so much more house for our money by getting out of Wake County and moving to Johnston County.
Good idea
@@BusinessAndFitness This whole Flowers Plantation area is fascinating. They're going to build a smaller version of North Hills which may sound hilarious but North Hills was once a small mall and a few small shopping centers. Flowers isn't part of Clayton so we get the benefits but not the tax bill and who doesn't love a guy who made a good deal of his fortune as a moonshiner? Love your channel.
Dang Travis, 760 for beauty. I only pay 100 bucks for my hair extensions a month. Lol. How much do you think a person should put aside for savings each month? Maybe 10 percent per pay check?
We make our dog food. We have two cocapooh and a corgi, and we spend about 150 a month, we use turkey, lean hamburger, blueberries, Carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli, lentils, and another bean to make it.
And i agree about mortgages, i paid 116,000 for a brand new ranch house 3 bedroo. 2 bath, 2 car garage back in 2015. Houses are selling in my neighbor, thats 5 years older than my home for 275,000, theirs no way i could afford that, well I could, but i wouldn't, its a prime time to sell, def not for buying !
I think it’s situation dependent. I think the goal should be have enough savings put away to cover 12 months of living expenses.
You mentioned Christmas break; are you a teacher?
No- I work in sales. We take off when everyone is out on holiday 🙂
Bro. You gotta tell the wife no once in awhile. You’re the man you lead her. There is no way you ever pay $1000 a month for a car payment. As logical man you damn well know how stupid and wasteful that really is. If you say no you’ll gain more respect from your woman. It’s never happy wife happy life. It’s happy family. God bless brother been watching since 2017.
This is a really bad take lol
Dude, that car payment, SMH. I think a lot of people think that rates close to zero are normal. Rates are normalizing now. Getting back to where they should be. This country desperately needs more affordable housing to be built to help lower housing costs by increasing supply.
The secret to all this. Starts with the gut. Balance the microbiome so you don't over eat, which in turns your don't over spend, in turns your more intune with your decisions. I always log my bills every month on my phone calender then split the rest of the cash, Divide 30 or 31 days and Guage your spending daily. Money is a tool. Your money management becomes like a muscle when you hit the gym. Work on your micro moves. Be around perfectionist of money, health, spirituality, emotional balancing songs affect your whole being. The more you heal emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. The more intune you are with the world.
when he starts daycare $800 a month you at now will look like free. Childcare for my 2yr old wil cost today $2,625 a month that before clothing,food,health insurnce and so on.
You spend as much on food for that dog as I do for 3 weeks on food 😂
The dog eats leftovers dude 🤨
It's getting worse. I like in Clayton. Property and utilities are getting insane
$10,000 a month??? what do you own the color orange???
Yes
You spend on that dog almost as much as my wife and I have each month (UK pension).
Jeez i want some of the money you forget about 😂😂
30 bucks a month on gas... WOW
I made the calculations and you need at least make 200k in NC to just cover your expenses. So I would definitely love to know what industry you are in sales, and I assume your wife works too? Gah lee.
Sales
@@BusinessAndFitness I'm in the wrong sales I suppose. I'm an inside Sales making about 70k the first year, the outside sales in our company probably bring 120k-140k give or take. This is in wholesale lumber distribution business. I'm thinking of moving industries to perhaps cybersecurity software sales? Do you have any recommendations?
I can’t get over how wasteful your spending is. Seriously mind blowing.
lol
$75 a month for gas 😂i’d love it.
granted I have to drive an hour for work and between job sites but i’m spending almost $600-$700 a month 💀
Ouch…
@@BusinessAndFitnessthese are always my favorite videos though, to gets on how to track/audit the budgets
Everywhere is getting so expensive
Everything was normal to me until i saw the $600 a month on formula😮 im spending about $280 a month for my 9 month old
He said special formula, if the baby has digestion issues, lactose intolerance etc. These cost more
$1,000+ a month car payment is normal?! I’ve clearly been doing it wrong.
@@hiero816 yeah its a 60k-70k vehicle cant expect a $350 car payment. Also surprisingly enough a 1k car payment is the new normal now with how expensive cars and rates are and with people transferring negative equity from cars they bought in the past 3 years it is pretty normal as i follow the car industry pretty closely
@@joshie19922 yeah i even asked my wife and she also agreed that was normal lol i guess i never heard of formula like that
👍✨💫😎💙✌️
Dogs evolved from eating our scraps & garbage when we were hunter gathers. Expensive dog is a rip off.
your food cost are not bad try to being mulism or jewish. then look at the costs when everything has to be halal or kosher. but for you i would order a whole cow at once to be butcher. you will end up paying are 4 dollars a pound and not closer to 11 dollars per pound that you are at this point in time. additional it fresher and you get to cut out the retailer. the rancher gets paid and the butcher makes money. the big saving come from cutting out everyone else. In some communities they split the meat up so it becomes an event to see friends.
$750 on beauty!? Wth 😂that’s absurd
$10,000 a month Rich Homie Travis😅
Man this is some bougie stuff
Yo Trav, could you share this budgeting template please?
Wow the shot of you and Megan in your apartment- your hair was so much darker!! Is she the cause of your white hair? Jk 😂
Been watching you for a long time. Don’t know how I feel about this video. 5% of your video was actually about moving to Raleigh. The other 95% is you flexing on what you spend for your life and that happens to be near Raleigh. I think your message is so unclear . Are you telling us anything about Raleigh? Or do you just want your viewers to know how much household income is?
I was just trying to flex… caught me
@@BusinessAndFitnessNational Flex Offender
If you have been watching Travis for a long time you should know how hard of a worker he is… I’m not really sure how this video is a flex most people normal pay for most of these things in some way.. sure he has some things some would consider a luxury (ex. new car, new house) we can’t just avoid talking about how expensive some cities / cost of living in general is increasing like crazy. If there is a flex it’s that he set himself up 10+ years ago and has been grinding to be able to own this house and have this family.
@@Sam44616 ♥️
Samantha, I have been watching his videos for a while, probably longer then you have. They went from eating videos to home gym videos to salesman videos to baby videos. Now we are doing “ how much I spend videos” …… ok ! Besides housing there was nothing in the video that was specific to Raleigh. All the other expenses were what he has chosen to spend money on and he felt the need to tell you and me. That is very interesting in my opinion.
Judged. Hard. 1st world problems.
All I am hearing is fake humble bragging from someone living in a house that doubled in value for no reason.
For sure.
Where would you recommend buying land with the intent to build new homes?
Damn trav I need to get into sales. I’m an accountant like rich homie used to be 🥸
