      Good for you!!! Change the way you "think" about money & watch your whole situation change. Find out the "reporting date" creditors report to the credit bureau and make sure you pay before that date. (Don't worry about "due date"). Also pay your bills TWICE a month to be ahead of the game.
      Eat at home, cancel cable, don't celebrate pagan holidays, save money, pay bills, and "live within your means". You will be DEBT FREE!!!! Go Daniel!!!!

      That is pretty crazy, how much money are people spending in restaurants? even a nice restaurant will only cost maybe 150 for two. Even if they do that once or twice per month that is not going to add up to 90 something k any time soon. Stopping going out is not really going to get them anywhere. It is a bit excessive.

    I only want to be financially comfortable, support my family, get my kids on the property ladder, and enjoy my retirement when it arrives. I want to consolidate everything into a safe investment, but I have many random companies that are at a loss from my previous investments. Should I sell them at a loss and reinvest that money into my top stock picks or leave them as they are? I'm just wondering and scratching my head. I'm not interested in becoming rich or super rich. Lol.

I am spending $300 on paint and supplies to paint it myself. Shop at Goodwill, but have to discipline myself in impulse buys at the grocery store. Motivated now to sell everything in my storage unit!

      @MrGiggity890 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not always upside down....depends on the car you get and if you're making minimum payments. Plus if you paid a 3-6 year loan, that means your car would have zero value at the end of the loan, which won't be true :)

      & needs oil change & detail/wash & LOOKS/RUNS LIKE NEW!
      Driving it until the wheels fall off... I bought it thru my comoany as retirement gift b/c I refused to take 20% depreciation just driving it off the dealer's lot.
      LUV it! And just blindly bought HYBRID b/c I was tired of gas guzzler company car I had been driving.
      Think I'll take her for oil change + get her detailed tomorrow!
      My cousin bought new Toyota Corolla 25 yrs ago & just gave it to her grandson @ 300,000. mi---all tuned up + with new tires.

    Sold the fancy car and bought an older model for cash. Paid all credit cards....I learned...Big Time.... Now only have a debit card and one credit cards with $5,000.00 credit available....if I use them I pay them off. I now have excellent credit and no worries. Living simply and more happy...no stress.....Now the credit card companies keep trying to lure me into more debt with tons of credit card offers.....Forget it!

    Although I agree with with marriage now & ceremony later, I've noticed that legally when it comes to bank accounts that couples cannot touch each other's accounts unless they both are listed on those accounts & signed onto them as owners, married or not. If one spouse passes away & the living spouse is unlisted as account owner, then banks still won't allow access. I do also agree with Dave's financial method & wish this couple all the best in their future..great points Dave.

      My son-in-law got a 2006 GMC Envoy at the junkyard for $800. It was fully loaded, in great shape inside and out, but a guy had sold it as salvage to the junkyard because it had transmission issues (wouldn't go into 3rd or 4th gear). He changed the transmission for $1,200, and now my daughter has a $2,000 car with more features (leather interior, heated seats, sunroof, etc.) than my $10,000 car. Finding a $2,000 car is like any of these steps -- they aren't easy, but they CAN be done.

    I'M the one paying the bills and stressed out, while it seems the family is enjoying live without the worries of how the bills are paid.
    I get to enjoy sleepless night wondering how we are going to make it,waking up and not sleeping for hours a night.
    Working 16-18 hour days with a power nap of 3-4 hours and doing it all again.
    Life has gotten to the point it really sucks, if anything breaks I get to panic and try to figure out what to do.
    I live on caffeine and it clearly is all that is running through my veins.
    My pay has gone backwards, taxes have gone up, work health insurance has gone up with less coverage, and working more just to tread water, waiting for someone to just throw me a brick.
