    Basically they are both happy in the end. Also Bill and Mary might have enjoyed more out of life then john and jane. With John and Jane it seems like the whole point of saving all this money is to climb out of debt and give the rest to their children which is a very selfless and pure gesture. Although, I believe Bill and Mary have the same affect with less money. The saying goes "enjoy the journey not the destination". John and Jane might be worth millions but what's the point? In the end you're either cremated or buried in ground, but don't get it twisted with "spend every paycheck on unnecessary things"

  • @Tennouseijin
    @Tennouseijin 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing many people could do to save money would be to consider alternatives to a car. Even a second-hand car is still expensive, insurance, fuel, repairs etc.
    For a household of two, having one car and one moped for example, would be much cheaper while still providing similar utility (they have A car when they need one, e.g. for shopping or family trip, and they can both drive to work separately as if they had two cars). Only if the weather it too bad for the moped, they could rent a second car or rely on car sharing, public transport, or any such hacks.
    Depending on distance to work and other conditions, they could choose a bicycle, kick scooter, electric scooter, motorcycle, public transport, or anything else. Still cheaper than a second car. And some households could do without a car at all, for even better savings.
    Personally, I've relied on public transport for most of my life, and switched to a kick scooter about a year ago for my ~6 km trip to work, and anything else within ~10 km distance. For longer distances I still rely on public transport, usually, or rely on someone giving me a ride. I'm considering buying an electric scooter for longer distances, or to get around slightly faster, though the health benefits of the kick scooter are quite good, so I'd still use it frequently.

I mean my expense are literally 1350 a month and still can't save a damn thing to invest in a way to increase my income other than get a second job and work 70-80 weeks for a while. Which is miserable in my humble opinion

      I'm not sure what your religious views are but you may benefit from having a look at some of Derrick Prince's videos (he's not alive anymore though), it's possible that you have curses on you which can be from actions you've taken or actions your parents took.

    Along those lines - if Jack and Mary lived under a bridge and ate only rice, they’d have a “sweeter retirement!” After giving 70000 hours to their cubicle they can really live?! Come on. Living poor to live rich when you’re old doesn’t make sense when you say it out loud. Especially if you die before you get to your “good life.” Balance - live life now and later. 😅
