To quote Dickens: “Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.”
About 50 years ago, I read David Copperfield and was struck by Wilkins Micawber saying "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery". This became my number 1 behaviour and have never looked backed. Resulted in saving for first few years before commencing investing (unit trusts) when I reached 20 and haven't stopped since. The downside - Frugality a behaviour I cannot kick.
Hi Kelvin, thanks for this, enjoyed reading it. The last part especially made me take notice, frugality being tough to kick. That's a video I'd like to make.
Atomic Habits is excellent. This feels like a behind-the-scenes on actual improvement... the book is excellent on stripping everything back. Love the style of this video too. Feels like a documentary. Very enjoyable. Nice tshirt.
I've generally followed your advice and on the whole have a fulling live . I've seen a family member who earned a six figure salary for many years and is so obsessed about hitting his middle class markers his still working close to 70 looking around, totaly burn out, having spent nearly all his money with little savings. Asking where did it all go wrong. facing a further now realising its not light at end of the tunnel but a train coming towards him. Some people apper so intelligent yet unable to ever scaratch that financial itch.
Just found your channel after checking out Trading 212 videos. You remind me a little bit of James May. Very relaxing and resourceful content. I don't like to subscribe to loads of people for obvious reasons but you sir have earned a sub.
Mathematically speaking you are right. But there is a physiological element to this, something behavioural. Attacking the smallest one gives a quick win and for some people can be the difference between them carrying on and seeing it through or not.

Yep 100%!

So true, it's not about what we earn it's about what we keep.
More people should focus more on their behaviour rather than what indices to buy!
Great video, Tom!
Totally agree, thank Dafydd
I've pretty much done very similar to this my an early age and retired at the age of 53 without ever having anything more than an averagely paid job.
Burned into my eyes, great point well made
Hahaha, might auction the T-shirt off for charity 😂

Wow, thanks!
Another great video Tom, thankyou. Some really good points, and very encouraging actually. I'll need to re-watch this over the next few years 🙂
Thanks a lot, Tom!
Great points from Atomic Habits, translated into the finance world Tom. 11:42 Don't worry Tom, it won't be 50%... it'll be 100%

Great video Tom, eventually got the book to slide into shot 😂 and we call Damien (Talks Money) - Carol so do we all start calling you Barry now?
Tom, if you decide to give up that t-shirt, i would be happy to take it. Copacabana is a banger!

Funnily enough, I have an announcement on this soon 🤫
Dave Ramsey what have you done with my Thomas?
Stuck a wig on him.

Why would you not attack the debt with highest interest rate first. That is bad advice in my opinion. Rest of video all good advice

Hair.
Here he is.
