      Rachel Cruze - how is a Target red card not a credit card? It works like a credit card... you can spend more than you should with one swipe!??

      Cricket plan has a special, 2 phones for $80, unlimited (sometimes it slows down after 22 gigs of use, but only during busy times). We don’t have internet in the house (now WiFi! 🤭), so since my husband needs it for his small business, we added $10 to share up to 10 Gigs of his data in a hotspot. But I don’t need that. If I really need WiFi for my laptop cuz I can’t do something on my phone (like buy an audible book for my son for school-happened this pm), I can walk down to a neighbor’s house and use hers, or drive a mile to the library, or wait till I’m at the CrossFit box (I’m apprenticing there, so I’m there a lot). That’s $90 a month for 2 phones, unlimited everything. And pretty good coverage, since AT&T owns them.

    Hi Rachel, thanks for the informative tips. Regarding cell plans, I just sign up for Mint Wireless starting at $15 unlimited calls, texts and 3GB data and if u go over it u don’t get billed for it, just slows down. No contract and taxes included. Mint uses T-Mobile cell towers.

    I walked into Target today for the first time in a few years. Went in just to buy some toilet bowl cleaner for the gym I clean. Saw they had reams of paper, which is something I had on my shopping list to get when I stopped at a store that had it. So I bought it. (We’re down to the last of our paper in the printer, and we homeschool, so it was a need, not a want). Walked out with just those two items. Go me!

    I got into an argument with someone over financing cell phones. Whether you pay outright or finance, you are still paying the same amount. It just looks less painful when it's a payment vs. $800 up front, but it's really the same.
    I got an iPhone 6 for $200 last week with AT&T's prepaid plan $45 a month, unlimited talk and text and limited data, but enough for me, since I have WiFi at home.

    My cell phone has limited data on it too. What I do to not go over my limit is connect it to my wifi at work and home. Most places (i.e. Starbucks, Hotels etc. also have free wifi) so where ever I go I try to connect to free wifi so I don't use up my own data.

    Our mortgage is a 30 yr at 3.85%. We looked into a 15 but the rate was gonna be almost 5%. So we didn’t do it.

    • @KupoIsaiah
      @KupoIsaiah 6 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Stephanie Bogart keep your 30 year and pay it off like a 15 year 👍

    • @windingpath

      That's odd. Usually shorter term loan has better rate.

      I saw one website that said if you pay 20% more every month on your 30-year mortgage, you essentially turn it into a 15-year mortgage. I did the math on mine, and it works. No need to refinance

  • @jenniferheasley4621
    @jenniferheasley4621 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another way to save is by using free apps like Ibotta for cash back on any purchase. Also, most car insurance have an app that tests your driving and gives you a discount for being a good driver. Mine saves me $30/ month. Lastly, cell phone plans have a loyalty and retention department that will work with you to lower your monthly bill. You can go into the store as well for a bill analysis and the store can recommend options for you.

    I can't switch to a 15 year fixed mortgage currently. My current 30 year is at 3.325% and you can't get that right now. Plus we are in the middle of baby step 2 so the lower payment helps. Once in BS6 I will pay off the house super quick.

    We just sold our first home and purchased our dream home. We wanted to do a 15 year mortgage but the monthly payment was hundreds dollars more. It was going to make things to tight. So I will continue to make half a payment every two weeks.

    • @AbidingHopeMentalHealthCoach
      @AbidingHopeMentalHealthCoach 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Leslie Kirkendall Dave Ramsey would say that was too much house, then. We just sold a house where we had a (gulp) 33 year mortgage and are looking for a place we can buy with a 15-year. We aren’t going for dream home, cuz it’s not in our price range. That can come 10 years or more down the road when we move out of the expensive area we live in.

  • @annacuomo8058
    @annacuomo8058 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Rachel - You gave examples on how to cut spending. One thing you forgot to mention is library fees. I know the amount is trivial, but if you don't return the books or whatever right away the fines can go up and if you lose a book or dvd you have to replace the item. Also my library has gone up on their fees and lessen how long you can borrow the items. Just based on my experience. :) Thanks for letting me share. Anna

    What do you think about spending the $100 a year for Amazon prime. I'm wondering how much I really save.

    • @AbidingHopeMentalHealthCoach
      @AbidingHopeMentalHealthCoach 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Leigh K There is a calculator for that. If I estimated $5 shipping per order, that would take 24 orders to pay for itself. I’m over 35 orders for this year, and we aren’t a full 5 months in. So basically it paid for itself somewhere early in April.
      Now, if you don’t order much, it wouldn’t be worth it.

  • @jill9606
    @jill9606 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Rachel, I’m super curious what you and Dave think of this- you recommended for people to get on a phone plan with friends to save money, Dave says to get a roommate for an apartment if needed... my question is: aren’t these as bad as co-signing for a loan? In all of these cases, you’re binding yourself to a legal agreement to pay the full amount of something if the other person doesn’t follow through. Can you clarify why sharing a family phone plan/getting a roommate vs. co-signing a loan are not the same?

    • @jill9606
      @jill9606 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      For example, in college, one of my roommates didn’t pay her rent on time and we ALL were on the hook to pay $900 in late fees because of it. Fortunately for us, she ended up paying the fee, but if she hadn’t, we would have had to.

    • @catherineholcomb4488
      @catherineholcomb4488 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @maxinechivers1312 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I took out a 25 year mortgage to buy a bungalow in 2010. In 2012 I went to see a mortgage adviser and saw I hadn't paid back very much. I asked how much my direct debit was to have 10 more years. I changed to pay it back in 10 years. I decided to get a 5 year term and in that I totally paid off my mortgage in 2017. So I paid off my mortgage in 7 years by paying extra each month.

  • @anela2kaylen
    @anela2kaylen 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    So what would you recommend to military families that have to move every 3 years. We don't want to compromise on location because of schools for our kids. On average we have bought houses for about 225k with a 30yr mortgage with 4% the problem is we can't afford a 15 year in that price range and because of location the price won't be too much different even if we downsized. What can you recommend?

    Great show! I shifted my focus from saving money to concentrating on what is going to make me money and I found that in the process I've saved a lot of money. Case and point I don't have the time to go to the grocery store as often as I used to so when I go I have a list, ignore the sales, and basically buy the best food because if I eliminate the number of trips to the grocery store I'll already save a lot of money.
    with the help of Christy at business Boutique I'm excited to start a small business eventually.

  • @lindenpeters2601
    @lindenpeters2601 6 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Sorry girl, switching to a 15-year mortgage is not feasible in high-cost-of-living areas like DC or California. The last time we switched to a 15-year was on a previous house, and it almost dpubled our payment. What we plan to do is make extra principle payments once we are debt-free. You don't have to refinance to pay extra on your mortgage principle. It saves you from another hit on your credit, closing costs, and interest.

    When I first moved out on my own in 2011 I thought I couldn't afford cable/internet. So I'd use my cell phone with 30gb data for all my gaming, netflix, youtube, general internet use etc. And i spent anywhere between $100-300 in data overage fees EVERY MONTH. Once I finally looked at the prices for cable and internet packages in my city it was anywhere between $60-105 per month. I hate myself everytime I think about how I paid those data fees for 5 years!

    Spending is way too easy. Try reselling some good quality clothes. Two things I knew when I did it: 1. very gently worn things in the closet take up too much space, and make you want a bigger closet. 😳 2. Resales can get you a bit of money back, but not what you paid. These are duh, knew that, but after I did it on about 20 items, I realized another thing, 3. I really think twice before I buy new things now. Think it is because I see the sticker tag now and then think, in 2 years when I have realized I didn’t wear it that much, how much can I sell it for? Say an example is 75 on a skirt, will maybe get you 20 back. Seeing it now as a loss of 55 to make my closet overcrowded for two years 😳😳 not to mention the resale hassle(s)! Saying “no” is so much easier now! Behaviour changes realized!

    Awesome content! I love everything that you said, Rachel. This is so hard for some people to do but with willingness and a positive mind, it is very easy to get through it. I have created my channel to help people who're in financial trouble. It is never too late to change how we manage our income. Doing the right thing is always the right thing to do.

    nice tips for savings... but the explanation for paying faster the mortgage is very vague. That requires a more complex explanation, not a simple answer as you are suggesting.
