  • “Being cheap” isn’t always a bad thing. Knowing where/when to be cheap is a better tip. Like your t-shirt example, you can find great quality items second hand at thrift shops or from friends looking to get rid of them. On the other hand, buying a cheap lawn mower will most certainly not benefit you. Know where to shop to get the quality things that will last. 👍🏻

A person with a bad spending habit is mentally ill and you can’t fix their trauma where spending money makes them feel whole again. It is okay for that to be a deal breaker.

  • I think “poverty culture” is a thing. Not only people struggling financially wanting to look rich, but how they handle money when it comes there way. For example, my best friend grew up with a single mother who had drug issues. He probably spent a combined 5 years of his childhood homeless. Fast forward to present times (we are 25) he’s making an above average income. But this guy HAS to spend money when it comes in. Got a 20k bonus from his job, bought a BMW, fridge breaks so he buys a $3000 smart fridge, etc. I think all the years he spent poor has resulted in him feeling the need to enjoy nice things.

  • The Buy Now Pay Later is definitely a much bigger risk than is implied. The other big issue for me is not realizing how quickly $15-$20 purchases adds up when making online purchases especially when charging it to a 0% APR credit card. You need to have a budget for everything and if you spend too much, lower spending instead of sometimes increasing spending due to guilt or dopamine hits.

    • I mean it depends massively because if you manage them effectively and only do say 1-2 at a time then you are never in a serious risk. So for example Klarna - You can split the payment into 3 payments which as long as you stick to those payments and stick below certain values, means you aren't dealing with interest charges, etc. Its not something people should be using all the time, but in small doses, its fine.

I finally convinced her that that was wrong way of thinking and "made her" get 30 EUR pair of Reeboks instead of the cheap 10 EUR offbrand sneakers. She usually has to buy new sneakers every year, the Reeboks already have 4years and are still usable.

  • I follow the buy more expensive pieces of clothing advice. I used to buy many shirts/pants/etc every month from cheap fast fashion spots like H&M. This is because the quality is so low they shrink, fade, or rip easily. Also mentally I think “these are cheap so I can buy them frequently”. Now that I buy expensive quality pieces not only are they better quality therefore lasting longer…but I also take care of them more and every time I want another piece I say “hmm it’s expensive, I don’t need it at this moment”. Over the few years I’ve been doing this I have saved a lot of time and money on clothing. I do the same my electronics, example skipping on $20 headphones that’ll wear down quick (internals, ear padding, wires, etc), and opt for the $120 headphones that’ll last longer and provide better performance.

I assumed the funds were automatically deducted from your banking account, so no late fees would not be a problem. I see now they are taking the chance you just won't have the funds to pay it off at all and they charge exorbitant fees.

I’ll just check the summary each week or month, I told myself. Pipe dream. Best intentions and all that. Before long I lost touch with my spending habits. Fail. I’m currently easing back into the expense tracking exercise and it feels GREAT! *This was back in the day, before the interwebz and mobile banking, back when writing checks from a checking account was still a safe practice (the rise of modern “check washing” has put an end to that).

For example I’m heavily into photography and care about my equipment and I bought a Peak Design 30L backpack 7 years ago to this day for $360. Granted it was one of their earlier models and yeah it’s quite frayed now in some areas, the bag still holds up well and if I divide $360 from 7 years that’s $51/year to own that backpack and usually if I make a big purchase what Ronald said was “always think about if I buy this, how much would I end up paying every month/year for that item/service and the longer it lasts the more value you're getting from it."

You could end up saving money from it instead of loosing seeing as how some give 1.5-2% unlimited cashback. Use it along with ur debit card. After putting money in ur savings, see how much money you have so if you use ur credit card, you know you'll have either enough or not enough money to pay it off with ur debit card.

  • For the cheapness, it's true. But for your situation with the car wiring, you have to understand that if something happens to the wires or connector ends, you have to replace the whole harness and that could cost you upwards of $1500 to $2500 on the harness alone without labor. Because of this, patching it up is not a bad thing to do as these wiring harnesses cost A LOT. It all depends where the patching took place and how well it's been done is what matters. Most mechanics are not electricians so patches can be iffy if not done by someone experienced in wiring.

  • From my first paycheck I started, and now over the course of a few years have streamlined a few notepad templates on my PC breaking down my monthly in/out budget and at the end of each month it compiles over to my annual template which tracks my in/outs as well as my savings and net worth (The net worth being updated every 4-6 months). So from day one I've tracked my income/expenses to the cent and it has really helped me to protect myself from the 'money burning a hole in my pocket' that I used to have as an unemployed kid/teen...

  • I've been driving for 40 years and owned an automobile (or 2, or 3) the entire time. Out of those 40 years, I only had 10 years worth of car payments. The majority of the driving time was spent with beaters that I kept running with simple maintenance. I currently own (3) autos now that have been paid years ago. There's no way I'd accept a $600 a month car payment.

  • Humphrey my man.... I have put myself through university, paid off all of my debts, 100% own a truck, 100% own a sports car, and still live like a hobo. I burn $400 every 7 weeks on food, my phone is $40/mo, insurance is ~$120/mo, internet is ~$100/mo, and one streaming service is ~16/mo. My best friend is a personal trainer and has a full commercial gym in his garage. Vehicle maintenance is top priority and I do not skimp on quality. Mobility is life. I can not possibly be any cheaper. Rent is skyrocketing (Vancouver area). I save....5%..5%...5%....5%....20% of my income invested plus another 20% minimum in cash. How on earth can I retire in Canada? At the rate things are going, I'll have to work until I am dead to be able to take more than my 3 weeks of vacation per year.

  • The best decision I made was to setup a separate savings account that a portion of my paycheck would go into. It’s Marcus by Goldman sacchs and it earns some pretty good interest. Is saving 15% of my paycheck too much? Having parents who were not good at budgeting and make poor financial mistakes has absolutely scarred me for life

    • Is some of that 15% invested? Are you using a high yield savings account? What's that money for? I'm sure Humphrey has a video on what to do, but a quick glance didn't give me a video title. I know Tae at the Financial Tortoise has a bunch of videos that will give you a step by step guide on how to manage your money successfully. I like Tae for practical tips, and Humphrey keeps me in the right mindset.

    • this is an excellent idea! and you are defo on the right track! You may find Barefoot Investor or Rich Dad Poor Dad tips helpful as well. There are many who advise living off of 50% of your income (ie: essentials like rent, utilities & transport) and "investing" the other 50% which means: 10% for charity to give back to your community and help those less fortunate than you (unless you have debt, then pay your debt off first) /10% for emergency funds (ie: separate savings account not available on your bank card that you automatically contribute to when you get our pay cheque & is used for unexpected expenses like medical care or home/car repairs/10% for you & what makes you happy (ie: do something for yourself once a week that brings you joy)/10% for self-development that will increase your income earning capacity (ie: training or experience)/ 10% for investments like bonds or time deposit (your savings earn more which will not be quickly accessible if needed)

Having No strings attached mean you're unstoppable and have your freedom.
