I notice that people always talk about subscriptions. I just buy a gift card for Netflix and add it to my account and never have to worry about it for months.

The Japanese life style is spot on. I own my home on an acre of land, own my vehicle outright and raised a child by myself. I have never made over 40k/yr. Currently I have no debt accept a house payment of less than $500/mo. and now work 30 hours per week. I am an artist and use my surplus time to create and spend a lot of time with my grand babies. This is how life is supposed to be.

@s.s.7348 3 года назад

When my children were younger, before we left to go anywhere, I would pack an ice chest with water, juice, fruit and healthy snacks. It helped to cut down on buying unhealthy snacks or drinks at the store and on purchasing fast food. My children are now grown, I still do the same thing for me when I’m going to be going out for a day of errand running. I will pack an ice chest and have water and/or herbal tea or iced coffee as well as healthy snacks. If I know I’m going to be gone for a longer period of time I will even pack a lunch and take a book so that I can go somewhere nice and have my lunch and do some reading. A dual win, saves money and is healthier!

@lifewithyesi1828 2 года назад

What I've learned from budgeting in my 20s: -buy 2nd hand as much as possible (there's a chance someone out there is getting rid of the item you want in great condition) -eating out is a luxury so I treat it as such ( I will not pay for takeout. If i'm eating out it's for the experience, so i'm going to go out & enjoy it. This means, no fast food for me) -meal planning is the key to not overspend on food/ waste food -when people would ask me what I wanted for the holidays or my birthday, I would say "anything, is fine" or "whatever you want." I quickly realized how doing that just made me end up with a home full of clutter & things I didn't necessarily want. Now, I actually tell people what I want/ need and these are all items that would be put to use :)

@clarissaywy Год назад

Yeah I really dislike that I end up with a lot of random items at home that I don't use because I don't need them. My group of friends would usually get everyone to write a wish list of things they wanted, and the group will chip in to get one thing from the list for that one friend. It's so much better that way rather than giving and receiving a few small random items.

When I was a young married woman, 50 years ago, I had a neighbor, 96 years old, from Russia, still doing her own yardwork--which is how we met. She told me pay my savings account first and then only spend cash. Some of the best advice I ever got. One of the things I've seen is that when people are struggling financially, they don't think they can budget. Huge mistake. That's when you need to budget the most. It helps you live in financial reality. Hiding from it leads to disaster.

@clairewinchestermurray8703 7 месяцев назад

I agree, and for that reason I prefer to have a financial consultant like Herman make my day-to-day investment decisions. Given that his entire skill set is based on going long and short at the same time as well as employing risk for the asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis he's got, it's nearly impossible to not out-perform. I've been using him as my financial consultant and the rate of accrual on my portfolio has been positive over the years.

Here in the Philippines, most people hate the thought of writing down expenses as they do not want to limit their "happiness". This is the reason why most are hoarders, even my father is still keeping a closet of old, outdated, and weared out clothes in the closet. He is having a difficult time disposing items that he bought, whether they were bought in cash or in loans. I am trying to change his mindset little by little. I now write down our expenses on a calendar located in the kitchen so he can view the monthly expenses especially the electric consumption. We use a prepaid electricity system and I am the main payer, so I have to write down the paid amount, whenever I add credits. I noticed he is doing his part in saving electricity consumption, turning off lights when not in use, unplugging appliances after using them, this does help save a little amount and I am thankful this one works. Yes, I agree that financial journals, whether personal or for my part, household (via our kitchen calendar), does save money. If we cannot increase our income, then live by the budget.

I do the same thing ....I just keep my receipts. Look at them at the end if the week. It snaps you right out of spending excessively. Normally when you know big bills are coming up. Thanks for sharing 💜

This is traditional American wisdom too. It's more or less what my parents always did. It has just been deliberately suppressed. Notice that government schools in America never teach this stuff? That's deliberate. It's part of the plan to enslave the American people, which has mostly been accomplished by now.

@Erika: Great presentation-well done! You are expressing tried and true methods of financial management. I use credit cards, but log every purchase into a numbers worksheet, categorize every purchase so, like you, I know what I owe and can identify my soft spots. Best wishes.

This is true…the mere act of looking daily at spending helps to slow down spending and improve savings. I use an excel sheet, but the principle is sound.

lol,,, the take out food is Awful! where i live. (small boring town). living in a boring place has helped me with money,,,, but im older and prefer less hub-bub. just sharing that location helped me not to spend alot. (it's not for everyone, but i got used to it).

@krakhour2 2 года назад

also japanese have a great respect for there elders. I watch in awe as they take care of their elders in nursing homes where they come everyday and sit and comfort them with all kinds of healing techniques from body massages to all kinds of comfort devices. They wait on them hand and foot. Here in america we dont visit our elders unless its maybe once a year for a few minutes. Its sad that it has gone this way.

@JustMe-gs9xi 3 месяца назад

All of that has to change back to those traditional ways,,,, for the US to be the prosperous, stable, great Country it Used to be. Families lived close,, i grew up in a triple decker,, I never felt 'poor',, i had family on all 3 floors.... you didn't pay babysitters, you walked and were strong. Your family REALLY knew the neighbors, i could just go out walk to my friends house and play there all day or play kickball in someones driveway or the street,,, people kept an eye on the neighborhood kids. And you were never alone,,,it was safe back then,,, we had like 20 kids in the neighborhood that lived close by and we played with,,, some were different ages slightly but it was so darn normal. We took care of our own elders. It's part of life. When families started moving SO far apart,,,, ALOT changed for the worse. I could repeat that part over and over,,, When you can walk to your grandmother's house,, Your Aunt and Uncle live the next street over. We went to church on Sundays and then it was VISITING DAY. No stores were open. That was Truly America at it's prosperous, stable, best time (i don't mean prosperous like rich and fancy,,,, i mean it was liveable you had enough for a nice Easter or Christmas dress. Things lasted.. no computers.... 3 tv stations,,, People TALKED,, Sat on the porch,,, Plaed card games,,, board games,,,, and the evening news was 5:00 and the whole family watched.

I did a subscription “correction” for my budget recently and wow! Some companies just do not want to let you go..the process of unsubscribing for one news outlet was near impossible:) I got a very reproachful phone chat and ended with a .99c sub a month deal but really didn’t want it. Banks have a strange way of analysing spending. All of our medical and grocery go under retail when really they are essential monthly.

@DavidSweetnam 25 дней назад

You have to stick to your guns. Please try again if you want or tell your bank/cc company. I once had to call twice and hold on for almost 90 mins to cancel a news service, but am glad i did. Depending on where you live, there might be a consumer body that you can complain to. I think gyms are the worst, I’m really careful not to do direct debits with them. Good luck and nice you cut costs : )

@taoist32 3 года назад

Easy to do. Easier than typing. I do this every month. However, I only use 4 categories: bills, current lifestyle, future lifestyle, retirement. Doing it this way makes it easier to live the way you are now while easily saving and investing for both future lifestyle and retirement. Bills are always last, and being minimalist and frugal by nature, are cheap.

In theory. Though, wouldn’t effective bartering be learning the art of negotiation? If One is going to do business, in the current economical climate - learning to effectively negotiate is absolutely KEY. Learning how to effectively negotiate, is how One will ensure they will maintain and increase their gold.
