My mentality hasn’t changed whether I make 20k or 100k. I still have the same mindset that I’m brokeAF and spend the same as if I’m poor. It’s just habit.
This is literally the blueprint on how to become financially independent and financially stable ❤I love your hair and I love the info that you shared with us and will incorporate this in my money journey! Thank you so much 😊
Love the whole video except the last “example” part. In a $5k check, you would never spend “only” $2500 in your needs. Most people’s rent nowadays takes 30-40% of the whole paycheck, plus utilities and insurance etc you can do at least 3k for needs. In my case I still have debt (as majority of ppl 😅) and I’d literally have left $200 dollars and that’s being positive. I wish I could follow your advise however it’s not realistic . I’ll take the important value shared and try to apply to my own situation. Thank you for the video!
For some of those people, they live in high cost of living areas like LA, NYC, Seattle, etc. I definitely feel for those people, as I used to be one. Often they can move back home with their parents, get (more) roommates, or try to move to a more affordable place. For many other people, they're simply renting a bigger/nicer/more convenient place than they need to, and often have the above options as well. Lastly, people can often make more money than they do, but don't invest the time to do so.
Invest in yourself first, put some money into business courses online or even make a quick eBook on a topic you know a lot on and offer to sell it if people safely PayPal you, extra buck a day yano?
Don’t trust family and cousins if they want to borrow money, they won’t pay you back. They’ll say I’ll pay you whenever I pay you back or it’s your fault for asking for the money.
Start saving specifically for things you know will come up such as car maintenance, vacation, Christmas, birthday gifts ect. Some people call them sinking funds. I have my main savings which is my emergency fund. But I have smaller amounts that I put money in each month also for expenses I know are coming but aren't very often. That way when they do come up I'm not pulling money out of the main savings (emergency fund)
I feel you! When you have kids, it changes everything ... it's much harder to do all that with kids. I'm trying hard, but it's not always so obvious. Wish I was more serious about money when I was young instead of going out clubbing and spending all my money on alcohol, clothes and cd's lol
5:36 I've used the "snowball" method that you talk about, but it actually works by taking the payment from each debt and adding it to the next so that you can pay off the debt sooner (unless I misunderstood you). Put another way: if you have 3 cards and each has a $10 monthly payment, you pay off the first card then add that $10 to the second and pay $20, pay it off and add that $20 to the third card and pay $30 until the debt is gone.
I just made a payday routing after watching your video and I feel very less stressed as Ik where my money is going and how much I can afford to spend thank you 🙌
Love this! A visual and understandable approach to saving and investing. Rose, I think your videos should be shown in middle school, high schools and colleges.
I wish I started to take my finances more seriously sooner. I just started seriously saving/investing/paying off debt in the last 6 months or so and just paid off my car completely. I opened a new credit card for the 0% APR on balance transfers and am taking care of CC debt next, and hope to have that wiped out in the next 3 months. After that I have the student loan mountain to climb but it'll be so much easier with the money that would have been going to car payments and CC payments available.
"Making the changes that you usually don't like to make!" was the best quote. I am tired of hearing people complain about finances and yet not willing to make the necessary changes to live below (not within) your means. My only disagreement on the order of filling the cups is that I believe if you have a 401k match, then you should prioritize matching this 100% first before any living expense because most people will adjust their living standards down when they receive a lower paycheck.
Absolutely. The company match is part of your compensation. Never leave money on the table. You might also see if there is an Employee Stock Purchase Plan benefit. So long as your company is decent, it won't hurt to put some 'skin in the game' as a stockholder - but not too much and not in your retirement.
Thanks for sharing I agree the point you brought on Save for emergency funds or pay off debt. A lot of people would save for emergency funds, instead of paying off debt.
This is such an amazing resource! I can't wait to share this with my little sister as she enters the job market and starts becoming financially independent. Thank you for this - great illustration of how to manage money well.
This was incredibly helpful, thank you! I've come to the realization my finances needed a change! I was maxing out my credit cards and ignoring my savings in the past couple of years because it all felt like "free money". YIKES! I plan to take these steps to get my finances back on track!!
I've never subscribed to RU-vid channels. But this past year, I've gotten serious about my finances and finding your channel keeps me motivated and inspired, hence why I subscribed to your channel. I don't have anyone to talk about my financial journey, so its really nice to come to your channel, put on your videos, learn and feel motivated! My biggest financial goal right now is to pay off my first house in the next two years!! Thank you for sharing your journey and skills with us ❤
Yikes, my needs are 85% of my monthly income :( I don't have anything nice or luxurious, so at this point I just need to increase my monthly income...it's def below 5k/month lol But this video was helpful and encouraging ^_^ thanks for sharing!
Thank you Rose you are helping people grow and making a impact on the world with your videos keep making them please..... Much love coming from Texas.....
Hi Rose, great content. Like you I suggest paying off your debts asap, so we can a little more breathing room to save, invest and have a little more fun. By the way how did someone so young become so wise?
I had problem comprehending trading in general. I tried watching other RU-vid trading channels, but they made the concepts more complicated. I was almost giving up until when i discovered content and explain everything in detail. The videos are easy to follow
Thank you this video was very helpful. I have been feeling so helpless lately since I gotten behind on my bills due to medical expenses. This has given me a plan of action to get back on track.
Yeah, I set up savings accounts with a different bank to my main, so I can't see the amount in my balances. Once the money leaves my account, the day after pay day (set up automated), to me it's effectively spent. So I can't waste it.
Instead of putting emergency money in a high interest rate savings account. Putting it in a no-penalty CD account. Has to be in $500 increments and you can't touch it for the first seven days, but the rate is much higher.
I think she recommends emergency fund $ in a high-yield savings account bcuz when we have an unexpected emergency, we have quick access to the monies, versus being penalized from withdrawing too early from a CD. Having an additional CD / MM account is a smart investment though.
Hi Ms. Han, I love how you broke everything down, and you made it so simple that a child can follow these steps. I am going to follow this plan on my next paycheck. Thank you so much for sharing this information and your personal experience with handling money. Have a great day. Warm Regards, Rj
I love how she's talking about putting aside like a 100 dollars for investing... and I here I am only putting 15 dollars into it my take home pay check is like 150... sob please tell me im not alone in this
I am slowly moving from learning about the money mindset to learning how to actually gather wealth. And this is my first step towards it. So I am listening to this as I am taking an evening walk.🍀 . . 14th may 2024 at 7:14 p.m. Tuesday
Given before getting into money and growing wealth, the only thing that I already KNEW and figured out by myself was the fact that *I must invest in myself!* And to LEARN high income skills!!
So hearing people like you who have made it say that you have invested thousands of dollars in yourself is such a VALIDATING AND REASSURNING THING TO HEAR!
That’s good. The education I had was not to have any WANTS and I think: how is it possible, and I may go the opposite way and spend too much. So here we can deal with financial goals first, and then meet some wants, and that will work
Thank you for this! Im trying to learn money more so i can be more confident in my finances and this made it simple for me .money is do complex and i get confused alot so thank you!
correction about roth ira. u can only withdraw what u contribute. for example if i contribute $1000 into a roth, i can only withdraw $1000 at any time. any profit u make on that $1000 that u withdraw before 59 1/2 years old will be taxed and penalized
Wow, thanks for pointing this out. I’ve heard a lot about IRAs but no one has ever explained it like this. I thought the penalty would apply to any amount withdrawn.
Mortgage in Australia is 6.49%! This is extremely hard as a single parent! Never lending family or friends ever again! They never repay and I got stuck paying my bills. Looking after myself moving forward. Being generous hurt me badly.
It's in big part what she meant about making changes. Are there any places where you can cut back? Are you using all the services that are available to reduce your spending? If you are, then we might need to find some way to get extra income. Get some qualifications and argue for a better wage, or get another job. I hope you can find some way to invest in your future!!
Great info as always Rose. Thank you for sharing. You sharing your knowledge and experience is invaluable to everyone willing to listen. Ì wish I knew then, what I know know. So thank you so much
This was one of my favorites! My story. Im 58 and my husband passed away 7 months ago. Unfortunately, we were not prepared. He paid into a pension but at the time of his passing, he was 55, not the required 60, and was vested 21 yrs and not the required 25. I'm only eligible for his rollover contribution refund. I also have a little extra. Can you explain the difference between a Roth and regular ira? Also. Should I place the refund and the little extra in 2 separate ira's or one? Or put them in a high yield savings account? Id love your opinion. Thanks
Sorry to hear about your husband :( You might find this free guide helpful for deciding which accounts to open and difference between regular/roth IRA: rosehan.com/ultimateguide As for what to do with the extra funds, I say follow the 8 places that I talk about in the video! Also keep in mind that an IRA is just an account, not an investment, so once you put money in there don’t forget to take the final step to actually INVEST that money. I have a good video on that here: How to Start Investing for Beginners (step-by-step) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cnjnJYr-8dk.html
Rose Han is definitely MY BIGGEST AND THE LUCKIEST DISCOVERY OF 2024 🍀🌈 It is with YOU that I started my financial learnings! Although I knew You exists there from around 2023 because of my constant RU-vid recommendations it was not until this year that I actually started watching you! . Also it was a great video thank you ♥️ . . . 14th may 2024 at 7:39 p.m. Tuesday
rose it feels like your content has shifted from living & loving a full life (incl. van life) to money money money. Money is indeed important - but what about the other things that make life meaningful?
Conversely, I was worried when you said during your van life stage that you might shift away from financial guidance... Thank you for not abandoning the financial guidance.
True, AND we still need help with finances (esp our US gov! 🙄). Life balance can come from a wide mix of awesome RU-vidrs sharing different skills & meaningful messages.
One thing I will say is that a high yield savings in today’s economy is almost non-existent. CD specials and interest bearing checking accounts are going to yield the most interest. And even then, your high interest checking accounts have lots of rules in order to earn the interest. Dont let interest bearing be your forefront when starting out your savings. Work to build up the funds to then put in a CD or money market
Thanks so much for sharing this useful information ,I find it very helpful. It's nice that this information is coming from you, because you use the same method To become financially independent We need more people like you. Thanks again.
We have superannuation in Australia. Its compulsory for every employer to pay their employees. We cant access it until the retirement age which has been changed from 65 to 67. It seems to be the same as a 401k.
Video is great, I wish you could do personal one on ones, so you could help me. Have no debt… work 2 jobs, with 3 kids… I only bring home about 3200, maybe 3500. I just want someone to really show me what to do, showing them my monthly expenses
I just have 2 cups that I can fill: debt and basic needs. My liquid is gone with those. I don't have a car to sell and I already live with a roommate. Having a hard time to find a second income, I know is not impossible but I get very frustrated.
Thanks for the wisdom in the financial learnings, but imagine if we all just simply got taxed less in the first place how that would profoundly effect the economy in itself.
Only one caveat** i work in 401k industry. A 401k match is 'free money' BASED ON WHAT YOU PUT IN, they MATCH Your input up to a %. Usually around 3-5% of your income. And wait until youve worked there long wnough to be vested if you want to take all the free money.
Please do a video about investing in Bitcoin through a Roth IRA. I've been trying to research this and I'm leaning towards setting up an account with itrust capital but still hesitant because I'm unsure what happens if something happens to the custodian holding my crypto. Like if there is another FTX situation in the future I wouldn't want to my investment to disappear but really like having my gains from Bitcoin being tax-free when I retire
Hey Rose! Love all your content and advise but here's a question: Regarding the Emergency Fund......Should this be broken down with cash on hand? (like $1000 cash in your home safe) and of course a dollar amount based on X amount of your monthly expenses? Let me know your thoughts...Thank you!
I say at least 3 months of the most basic version of your monthly expenses for your emergency fund! Also, I hadn't thought about that but you're right it could be good to have a small portion of that as physical cash in your home safe... always good to have a bit of cash on hand!
can you tell me more about HSAs? I've only used them if they were offered as part of my companies insurance plans, but I always had to use any saved funds by the end of the year. You can open your own account?
Very nice! Thank you for sharing this information. I may need to see whether or not this works for me too, since I'm not in the USA. For now I'm actually putting aside 15% after taxes to invest and 10% to my savings. I'm currently also finding a means to increase the cashflow, so that I can get rid of my studentloan debt asap. Is it possible for foreigners to open RIA there?
