    In my family in Europe, My mom never had a cc, asked for a loan... I feel like in América they force you to be on debt "in order to build your credit" such a trick to have people on debt so they can buy more things

    As a kid, my granddad always used to tell me: „Never spend all your money. There might come a time, where you‘ll really need it (aka an emergency).“ He grew up during WWII and for him it meant the difference between starving or not. I will always remember those stories. And even though I know, not everybody is lucky enough to decide, how they spend their money, this has always helped me. When people around you tend to spend their money for unneccesary things, it helps to stay wirhin your means 😊

      @nancyockrin7428 An IVA depends. Are you in the UK? If so, find an IVA provider. Give them all your details about debts & they will contact them & ask if they will accept an IVA. If they all accept, then you will make one manageable payment per month until its paid off

      @@tanial8171we started our kids with earning tokens. 1 token = $1. They can only spend the tokens that they have. They earn tokens by doing chores or their math / writing / reading work.
      We noticed that they were able to decide when they could have a toy or to choose better options.
      We then move to telling them to not spend all their tokens and to share with others.
      Nowadays, they can resist the urge to buy toys when we are in a store. We tell them we cannot afford x amount or that it is expensive or it could take away our budget for food / education or something else.
      Of course, some days, all these are out of the window when they have their moments when they badly want a toys 😄 My kids are 7 and 4.

    My student loans just restarted. My monthly bill is $1,300.00. I get paid biweekly and that bill is more than half of my paycheck. Rent per month is $2,000.00, and that's not including car payments, phone bills, insurance (health, car and renters) etc. I was pressured into college because I was sold a lie that you have to go to college to get a good paying job. Well I graduated in 2020 and good paying jobs truthfully don't exist in this economy. Inflation is at an all time high. Sometimes I think there is no way out.

    The one of the best apps in Australia that I have found is pocketsmith. Also I am going to toot someone's horn. Scott Pape - The Barefoot Investor. Amazing and clearly is an Aussie Dave Ramsey. I resisted his techniques because I had a very low income, my excuse! oh and the other excuse is I no longer had someone controlling my every ... thing. Husband decided he wanted a divorce right in the worst of the GFC. Booked my ticket and left with 2 suitcases, shipped a few boxes of personal items. I had $600 left to my name. I was pretty raw and it took years to rebuild my life and at one point was very close to homeless. Best thing that has every happened to me and learning to BUDGET without emotional drama lol Now I am 63 years old, I have an emergency fund that will cover me for 12 months of living. I am debt free, rent and utilities are paid up 3 months in advance (there is sneaky little account that covers subscriptions and direct debits that is looking very healthy) the other account is an everyday expenses (eg groceries) that has a budget to it and lastly a splurge account that will cover birthdays, xmas, leisure trips and the occasional event/dining out. I implement my budget everyday and I do not feel deprived at all. I live simply and moderately. Happy days ❤
