    After a terrible 2022, shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down. This implies that portfolios will experience more losses during the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio; how might the continuous market volatility work to my advantage?

    I pulled a go hard or go home. Increased my income for a short term cause I had a goal. I exceeded my goal and it was so hard I think I don’t have the strength to ever do it again but I saved $9800 in 11 weeks. I just wish I could repeat the process over n over🥴

    I started saving religiously after I paid off my last vehicle. The money that was going towards my car note was now going into my savings account. I had already adjusted to living with a car note, so the transition was a breeze. Now I have a nice safety net that’s still growing… and that’s while I’m currently paying on a new car note.
    P.S. I was fortunate to get a couple of promotions at my job which is why I can still save and easily pay a car note.

      U just got me on track by ur comment.... I also paid off my car a year ago which was $300 if i round it off... I hve 1,700 in 💳 debt.....i can put that invisible car payment towards my credit card.... I said this once b4 but when i get paid i rather save and put little on my card each month instead....

      @@TheLookatit I am not a financial advisor. Maybe, look at the interest rate on the credit card and see if you would save more by paying it off faster now and putting less in the bank (in a low-interest savings account). You should be proud that you are saving! That is an accomplishment worthy of praise.

    3 times a day was really costing me. 😵‍💫 and I self taught on how to do my hair and started practicing on my nails. I was spending at least $60 every 2 weeks on nails/ pedi. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I adapted the mindset that doing things myself is saving the money for the things I really want, not feeling limited or stretched thin.

    here's something very minor to put the whole "eating out" piece in perspective: I have (had) been ordering "inexpensive" Chinese take-out every Wednesday for the past couple of years, kinda like a Hump Day tradition/reward -- I finally thought about it, & while a $15 (food + tip) weekly doesn't seem like a big deal at all, that's $780 per year just for take-out...Now think about someone who dines at various restaurants several times a week & is spending way more than $15 per meal -- that's huge

    Saving $ does help people but for a temporary time. That $ they save is a temporary safety-net.
    I know of someone who saved 90K. He has 70K in one bank and 20K in another back.
    He now lives life with less stress because of that safety net
    But people can also make more $ by spending it, and it can also be a ongoing/residual income.

I had to use my savings recently because I got into a reck but the lady that hit me her insurance payed for it so now I’m working on getting a car and I got a good deal. My payments would only be 328/month so I know I have to get more stick on my savings/espenses. I believe I can do it! It’s my first car too. I’m excited and worried at the same time
