Brilliant! Your parents are allowing to take advantage of the opportunity that their provision affords you, and you are making the most of it. Great job! They are raising a wise young man.
Even rich people have money issues but people below the work force will not as people below are learning while people who makes it fast aren't and spends their resources in the wrong way.
Dude.. THANK YOU FOR THIS! YOU LITERALLY JUST GAVE ME AN EPIPHANY!!.. I didn't realize how much I was spending.. My check is usually estimated $900/910 a week & I did the math..

its all mind set and perspective Cali I can show you how to earn 12k a month... id love to help in any way i can, i have a really cool group of people we teach to make money. are you open to connecting?
I make approx 2400 every month (take home after taxes) and my expenses are approx 1300 every month. I should have 1100 approx free every month. I should have thousands saved but I don't. I gotta smarten up and be more self disciplined
Daniel Cervi you can do it! I was in the same boat as you, I got my stuff together, did a budget and now save a lot more money. It makes me feel like I got a raise even though my income is the same as it was before I woke up. Tackle head on and enjoy yourself.
Yes Nate , #1 set goals #2. Pay yourself first & set up auto deposits into a Roth & a Savings, #3 limit eating out in restaurants BC that is like throwing $$ out of the window & into the fire!
I accidentally spent $50 at a sushi restaurant the other day. I left the place hungrier than I was when I walked in and it cost me more than my entire weekly grocery budget!
restaurants on occasion - fine, fast food joints, take out coffee and snacks, buying pizza or kebab on the corner more than once a week - a big waste and dangerous for the health in a long run. I always wondered why fast food joints aren't banned around schools and universities, where i live they thrive on poisoning kids!
Become a minimalist. Practice fasting & prayer. Get a roommate or move in with family (pay for your keep!). Walk places. Prepare all your meals at home. Have hobbies that are fruitful and productive. Gardening, working out. Stop drinking alcohol.
I don’t know how old you are, but I am 20 year old watching this video for the first time I can personally say, you have been very well raised and your wisdom is extremely outstanding. Thank you for sharing this with us, personally it helped a lot, to understand and have a clear understanding.
we live and we learn my friend :) lets make that 2k back!! id love to help in any way i can, i have a really cool group of people we teach to make money. are you open to connecting?
When I left foster care, I wasnt sure how I was gonna save enough money for rent. I'm lucky to have a roommate, and it saved me a lot of money splitting all of the utilities between us. Also, simply cooking at home and using less electricity really saved me big bucks. I encourage everyone in a similar boat here to take an opportunity like this to save, because you'll never know when something comes up.
I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money invest:ng. For example last year I invested 70k in blue chip stocks and crypt0 s (with the help of my advisor of course) and made about 380k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million. Delayed gratification always pays off.
poppy rose I think I made 8k last year😂 to be fair though, I'm also a full time college student so work is on the side but yeah I can only dream of what it's like to save 12k in half a year 😂
I like that he included taking care of your body. I work in an endocrinology office where we see a lot of diabetic patients. Most of these patients have to be on two different types of insulin and one or two oral medications. The cost of insulin is insane ..we are talking thousands of dollars a month just on medications. Also supplies such as glucose meters, test strips , insulin pumps and the list just goes on and on. Take care of your body!
This is so sad, in Scotland all our healthcare is free including prescriptions. I am a nurse and our standard of care isn't perfect but pretty frigging high. The NHS has longer waiting times etc but it really is a blessing. It really shocks me when I read about families going bankrupt after an illness or accident.
I like the simplicity. My biggest piece of advice would be to make sure you do more than setting goals, and actually do the actions toward those goals. Good Video!
Great tips Nate - what helped me tremendously was learning to distinguish my expenses between needs vs wants, with prioritizing needs first above all else
A balance book is what I used to write down my purchases so I could keep track of how much I'm spending each week and I noticed making coffee at home instead of going to the coffee shops saved me a ton!
we need to make money, and money can be invested to have more money.. spend money to make money.. id love to help in any way i can, i have a really cool group of people we teach to make money. are you open to connecting?
Absolutely man, loved watching this as it affirms what I do every fortnight. That is how my Fiance and I have been able to save $20,000+ over the last 6 months!
This definitely did change my life! Automatic is the way to go for saving, investing, even paying debts. I’m putting over $6k a year for retirement just on this simple idea. 😁
Hi! Teller at a credit union here. One super helpful service your bank might have is payroll allocation. If you have direct deposit set up you can allocate those funds to automatically be deposited into certain shares or onto certain loans.😊 Ask your bank about what they have to offer you!
Great savings tips....I recently did a savings challenge and was able to save $1300 a month by cutting down monthly household bills. Keep up the good work!
I find that finding a balance between work and play is vital to budgeting as well. If all your going is working and saving - then you will feel like a cog in a machine. Making a monthly budget for fun things I found makes budgeting fun because you also reward yourself for doing so!
I saved money by depositing a certain amount into a separate bank account. I wouldn't be tempted to spend it because out of sight, out of mind, is a real thing. it added up so quickly.
My diet is mostly beans, rice, potatoes and oatmeals. I don't like being in this tight budget but I have bigger goals so for the time being it works. I don't spend a lot on food, I plan on paying back my debt and investing in stocks.
Good video Nate! Like you I think one of the quickest ways to get on the path to saving money is to actually understand where all your money is going! Especially looking at recurring subscriptions... Anyway, good to see you back mate. Hope you had an epic trip!
This is true, I ended up in the hospital not long ago due to a heart problem. And I am just 27 years old, when I saw my medical bill I almost had a heart attack again. 25,000! After the hospital paid off some of it, I still owed them about 8K. So yes, invest by simply taking care of yourselves.
How has everything been for you ? I wanna move out on my own soon but just now by reading your comment now ima bit discouraged. Don’t mind me asking but has it gotten better to save money?
For some people It's easy to start something but hard for them to stick to it if they don't see immediate results. In order to save in the long term you have to develop new habits and mindset to save/ invest; moreover, be disciplined not to return to old financial habits. Don't get discouraged..just be consistent with it!
Its a good thing to save money for interest. But my advice to the low-income employee, save only 40% of your salary draft out your monthly expenses on 30% and create an investment on the 30% balance so as to stay ahead of inflation because if you dont lnvest and grow your money, you'll actuaIIy end up loosing money over time
Absolutely/I couldn't agree more. tho Investing money sometimes can be risky, but it offers higher returns than bank savings accounts and can help people build wealth over the long term

I tried saving before I could get my own bank account by giving my mom some/most of my money that I would make while cleaning houses with her. I saved up $400 in less than a couple of months and as a 13 year old I felt og but she ended up using it for rent. I’m so glad I can have my own bank account now and I’m looking for tips. I’m saving what I can even if it’s a little bit but this helped me so much. Thank you
Saving really isn’t investing because your money remains the same. Neither gaining profits nor losses. I can’t thank Mr Sanjay Otter enough for the opportunity of trading and making profits consistently. Been just 2 months
Saving is bloody important. Just imagine you're healthy, working a part-time job, young and aren't saving, because you feel you don't need to: you lose your job, are short on a month of rent, break a bone or your means of transport breaks. You're fucked without that money. Thanks for trying to help people remember this!
As far as transportation goes, I drive a 50cc moped. The original cost of it was $1300. No insurance is needed and I spend about $4 in gas a week. Real money saver!
I have 600k so far. All just from my past jobs, and saving. Being a bachelor. No spending on a girl or woman, just for dates. 😎😤 Going to make my money work for me soon...
Wow that's impressive! What also would you say helped you save money. Do you have many saving accounts or high interest saving accounts? Im just curious to know and what age did you start saving if don't mind me asking.
I recently made more purchases. Saving money for a market downturn is likewise a bad idea. There are numerous ways to look at recessions and depressions, we cannot always expect to make large returns, and taking chances is better than doing nothing. The bottom line is that you will achieve remarkable results by diversifying your portfolio and making wise decisions. My portfolio's raw earnings rose by $608k in just 5 months.
Despite my confidence in your advice, my recent stock purchases, and the fact that I am an AMC shareholder, I haven't been able to accumulate anything. I had already been in the hole for too long prior to the downturn. What's the investing procedure?
@@AnnieBeischel I don't invest in a single fund because I have a range of jobs. I don't behave at all like that.

I have a dozen friends that prefer thrifting 4 unique clothing. At the grocery read ingredients. Just bc it's on the shelf doesn't mean it's safe 2 eat.
for clothing something I always though went without saying but I guess most people don't grasp or realize: quality over quantity. 1. You don't necessarily need a capsule wardrobe but you do want to pay more for high quality basics. Neutral palette or if there's color make sure it's a color that works well with your specific skin tone/temperature since that's something that doesn't change. 2. thrift everything else. Not only is it better for the environment and cheaper but it forces you to think about what YOU actually like and your personal style vs what's on trend. Fast fashion is bad for the planet and for saving. 3. take care of everything properly. Learn how to handwash, learn where the good (and good value) drycleaner is where you live for things that need drycleaning (and go to the physical place, if you live in a city try to avoid those ConciergeBoxes or Washboxes that many apartments have...they'll go to the same places but upcharge and hey if you go to the same drycleaner for years as a regular and aren't an ass they're an individual and might give you better prices anyway). But also just read the labels on all your clothes. If you have to make a chart for your washing machine or have separate laundry baskets to help...go for it, it's worth it. And always air dry! avoid the dryer as much as possible! by washing things correctly and air drying you'll prolong the life and quality of your clothes a ton! I recently sold a bunch of clothes for more than I probably otherwise could've gotten because they were in close to perfect condition despite being used a ton and being over a decade old (only reason for selling was changing sizes). 4 but less important. it's helpful to stay in touch to some degree with what different stores/fashion labels in your area are doing business wise. Could be helpful to your investing but also just a good passive way to be aware of which brands are cutting costs in the quality of their clothes but keeping the prices the same. Where I live in the US a good example is J.Crew: growing up until about a decade or so ago they were known for having boring but great quality staples - middle class luxury: not really a designer but you pay a little extra for good quality staples that you'll have for a long time. Then ownership changed and they started getting trendier and the quality started to tank, but the prices stayed the same. 5. re: washing your clothes properly. You might think you know how to properly wash clothes, but the dunning kreuger effect can hit us all...it sounds boring and lame but watch a youtube video or too or listen passively to a podcast like Spotless (not a sponsorship they just have good advice, it's passive listening, and good radio voices) to double check if you're really doing things right. This goes for most things though: if you do routine general maintenance correctly things won't fall apart as fast and you'll save more in the long run.
Another great way to save money is to learn to be resourceful with your vehicle. Buy parts and install it yourself. For example, in BC Canada, a 200 dollar clutch can cost about 1200 dollars after labour. You can also save about 20 dollars by changing your own engine oil, and so on and so on. DYI is time consuming, but if you can swing it into your schedule, DO IT!!
Save 25-30% of your income, invest your money if you see or have a good opportunity to do so, try not to eat out if you can, and shop at thrift stores or buy second hand clothes.
I love your tips. I share a lot of tips with my clients and even on my TH-cam channel about how to save money and I have never thought of unsubscribing to emails. That’s a good one.

Nate O'Brien why not have both? Figure out how to get a pile of cash. Build assets and investments then have a family and kids..
😂 this is true
Dont drive.
Marrying is subjective, it depends on who you marry...but all kids are expensive.
I try my best to save about 90% of my income since I am only 16 years old and don't really need to be spending a lot! I try to invest into new business ventures and also stocks for the long term!
That's a perfect goal for a teenager.

Brilliant! Your parents are allowing to take advantage of the opportunity that their provision affords you, and you are making the most of it. Great job! They are raising a wise young man.
Its nice to know that a millennial is helping other millennials. Great job!

Dude.. THANK YOU FOR THIS! YOU LITERALLY JUST GAVE ME AN EPIPHANY!!.. I didn't realize how much I was spending.. My check is usually estimated $900/910 a week & I did the math.. I found out if I take out 30% I would literally save $270 a week.. I only pay $300 a month for rent because I have 3 other roommates.. Wow I didn't even realize how much money I was wasting until I watched this👍🏼👍🏼
"12k is not alot" yes it is. And the fact that it's only 6 months. Dang.

I make approx 2400 every month (take home after taxes) and my expenses are approx 1300 every month. I should have 1100 approx free every month. I should have thousands saved but I don't. I gotta smarten up and be more self disciplined
You can do it. Set up some money aside to invest long term.
Good luck! It is possible. Save as much as u can and once u start seeing it grow, you’ll want to keep adding to it.
Daniel Cervi you can do it! I was in the same boat as you, I got my stuff together, did a budget and now save a lot more money. It makes me feel like I got a raise even though my income is the same as it was before I woke up. Tackle head on and enjoy yourself.

Yes Nate , #1 set goals
#2. Pay yourself first & set up auto deposits into a Roth & a Savings, #3 limit eating out in restaurants BC that is like throwing $$ out of the window & into the fire!
I accidentally spent $50 at a sushi restaurant the other day. I left the place hungrier than I was when I walked in and it cost me more than my entire weekly grocery budget!
restaurants on occasion - fine, fast food joints, take out coffee and snacks, buying pizza or kebab on the corner more than once a week - a big waste and dangerous for the health in a long run. I always wondered why fast food joints aren't banned around schools and universities, where i live they thrive on poisoning kids!
that’s your opinion . eating in restaurants is great and i enjoy tasty food .
@@NateOBrien “Accidentally” 😂
Or down the toilet literally
Become a minimalist. Practice fasting & prayer. Get a roommate or move in with family (pay for your keep!). Walk places. Prepare all your meals at home. Have hobbies that are fruitful and productive. Gardening, working out. Stop drinking alcohol.
I love it
Awsome

When I left foster care, I wasnt sure how I was gonna save enough money for rent. I'm lucky to have a roommate, and it saved me a lot of money splitting all of the utilities between us. Also, simply cooking at home and using less electricity really saved me big bucks. I encourage everyone in a similar boat here to take an opportunity like this to save, because you'll never know when something comes up.
I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money invest:ng. For example last year I invested 70k in blue chip stocks and crypt0 s (with the help of my advisor of course) and made about 380k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million. Delayed gratification always pays off.

Haha food is a depreciating asset. True and very funny😂 Limiting your budget for food can really help with waste.
Seriously! I love food but there's no sense in spending exorbitant amounts of money on something that holds no value

BM TravelWrite - Pun wasn't intended, but I'll take it haha 😂😂
@Laurent Nick Huor - Yes, intermittent fasting is a great way to help save. I only eat twice a day. Saves time and money.
So true! Especially Foote that you could make cheaper and healthier at home!
I don't even make 12K a year
poppy rose I think I made 8k last year😂 to be fair though, I'm also a full time college student so work is on the side but yeah I can only dream of what it's like to save 12k in half a year 😂
Same
lol which means you're probably at your parents house. Save as much as you can now.
Sassanfar Productions it's true
Really?! What do you do ?
I like that he included taking care of your body. I work in an endocrinology office where we see a lot of diabetic patients. Most of these patients have to be on two different types of insulin and one or two oral medications. The cost of insulin is insane ..we are talking thousands of dollars a month just on medications. Also supplies such as glucose meters, test strips , insulin pumps and the list just goes on and on. Take care of your body!
True. At least a third of my monthly budget goes to supplies for my type one diabetes 😒
This is so sad, in Scotland all our healthcare is free including prescriptions. I am a nurse and our standard of care isn't perfect but pretty frigging high. The NHS has longer waiting times etc but it really is a blessing. It really shocks me when I read about families going bankrupt after an illness or accident.
I like the simplicity. My biggest piece of advice would be to make sure you do more than setting goals, and actually do the actions toward those goals. Good Video!
Great tips Nate - what helped me tremendously was learning to distinguish my expenses between needs vs wants, with prioritizing needs first above all else
Yeah, very important point. I try to include this in all money-saving and budgeting videos I make.
A balance book is what I used to write down my purchases so I could keep track of how much I'm spending each week and I noticed making coffee at home instead of going to the coffee shops saved me a ton!
Love it, skipping a cup of coffee from a shop every week and just making it at home is a great way to save!
Saving is a lost skill, thank you for helping us
Certainly a lost skill. I don't know why they don't teach this in high school
@@NateOBrien at my school, we have accounting, but its just doing calculations on excel's spreadsheets.
They don’t teach it in high school because the goal is getting us into the debtfare system.

One of the biggest mistakes that have been making is saving all my money that have been making then I end up withdrawing all whenever need arises

This definitely did change my life! Automatic is the way to go for saving, investing, even paying debts. I’m putting over $6k a year for retirement just on this simple idea. 😁
Hi! Teller at a credit union here. One super helpful service your bank might have is payroll allocation. If you have direct deposit set up you can allocate those funds to automatically be deposited into certain shares or onto certain loans.😊 Ask your bank about what they have to offer you!

Great savings tips....I recently did a savings challenge and was able to save $1300 a month by cutting down monthly household bills. Keep up the good work!
Nice! Love to hear it
I find that finding a balance between work and play is vital to budgeting as well. If all your going is working and saving - then you will feel like a cog in a machine. Making a monthly budget for fun things I found makes budgeting fun because you also reward yourself for doing so!
I saved money by depositing a certain amount into a separate bank account. I wouldn't be tempted to spend it because out of sight, out of mind, is a real thing. it added up so quickly.
My diet is mostly beans, rice, potatoes and oatmeals. I don't like being in this tight budget but I have bigger goals so for the time being it works. I don't spend a lot on food, I plan on paying back my debt and investing in stocks.
Stumbled across this comment now two years later. Have you achieved your goals / how is it going for you? Geniounely curious :)
How’s it going for you? 3 years later??..
Well good but still have ways to go. Paid back $20k in debt. I'm also investing in stocks.
Good video Nate! Like you I think one of the quickest ways to get on the path to saving money is to actually understand where all your money is going! Especially looking at recurring subscriptions...
Anyway, good to see you back mate. Hope you had an epic trip!
Thanks! Trip is far from over. Back in the U.S. for a couple weeks, then Europe and Asia
This is true, I ended up in the hospital not long ago due to a heart problem. And I am just 27 years old, when I saw my medical bill I almost had a heart attack again. 25,000! After the hospital paid off some of it, I still owed them about 8K. So yes, invest by simply taking care of yourselves.
"LAZY"! That was it. Having food at home and still eating out every day of the week. One decision away from a proud savings account.
I saved 10k when I was livinf with my mom at 18 years old. But once you move out its harder and moves slower
@@PowellLumor huh?
How has everything been for you ? I wanna move out on my own soon but just now by reading your comment now ima bit discouraged. Don’t mind me asking but has it gotten better to save money?
How long did it take you ? I’m saving for plastic surgery which is roughly 11k but I’m saving 20K just in case of extra charges etc
You are right dr ❤

Guys ,Health is wealth , maintain your health ,its the most important thing
For some people It's easy to start something but hard for them to stick to it if they don't see immediate results. In order to save in the long term you have to develop new habits and mindset to save/ invest; moreover, be disciplined not to return to old financial habits. Don't get discouraged..just be consistent with it!
This actually work, I saved $10k in 4 months. I was actually aggressive and really committed to it.
Its a good thing to save money for interest. But my advice to the low-income employee, save only 40% of your salary draft out your monthly expenses on 30% and create an investment on the 30% balance so as to stay ahead of inflation because if you dont lnvest and grow your money, you'll actuaIIy end up loosing money over time
Absolutely/I couldn't agree more. tho Investing money sometimes can be risky, but it offers higher returns than bank savings accounts and can help people build wealth over the long term
thanks for the idea but what type of investment will you suggest for me as a low-income employee. perhaps a reasonable 20% profit biweekly

P P there’s a certain point where you know you got it with money saved yeah of course saving is a great thing and everyone should do it . I save my money . But I don’t starve myself . If you have 40k in a bank account your not going to be broke for buying a 8 dollar plate .

Saving really isn’t investing because your money remains the same. Neither gaining profits nor losses. I can’t thank Mr Sanjay Otter enough for the opportunity of trading and making profits consistently. Been just 2 months
Top notch trader, he trades for me as well
I will like to start it too. How?

Actually there’s a little loss to savings over time because of inflation and depreciation. So all the more reason to not JUST save 🙌🏽🧡
I think what works best is save to invest or save to start a business---- as I believe everybody has goals

Saving is bloody important. Just imagine you're healthy, working a part-time job, young and aren't saving, because you feel you don't need to: you lose your job, are short on a month of rent, break a bone or your means of transport breaks. You're fucked without that money. Thanks for trying to help people remember this!

You must have a really nice job to save that amount, you're not even that far from being a millionare
I recently made more purchases. Saving money for a market downturn is likewise a bad idea. There are numerous ways to look at recessions and depressions, we cannot always expect to make large returns, and taking chances is better than doing nothing. The bottom line is that you will achieve remarkable results by diversifying your portfolio and making wise decisions. My portfolio's raw earnings rose by $608k in just 5 months.
Despite my confidence in your advice, my recent stock purchases, and the fact that I am an AMC shareholder, I haven't been able to accumulate anything. I had already been in the hole for too long prior to the downturn. What's the investing procedure?
@@AnnieBeischel I don't invest in a single fund because I have a range of jobs. I don't behave at all like that. My behaviour is modelled after that of Stacey Lee Decker, a seasoned financial advisor licenced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States. My returns have since climbed swiftly in contrast to the IRA's gradual development. What I have is only used by her trades; very few truly specialised companies.

I find your content very useful and inspiring. Thanks. Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭
Thank you! I hope to travel to Africa in the coming years!
I'd like your view on saving money on health. That's a very good point!
Another thing about the thrift shopping, I’ve found some of the coolest and best clothing there. Great quality clothes for very cheap!
I have a dozen friends that prefer thrifting 4 unique clothing. At the grocery read ingredients. Just bc it's on the shelf doesn't mean it's safe 2 eat.
Nice I’ve managed to save 6k in 3 months would like to end the year with 10k +
If you keep your expenses and your salary the same you should be able to end 24k.
How much you making a month?
Why is erveyone lying
"$12,000 I know this may not be too much for a lot of people" - Me listening to this in Latin America earning $300 a month.
OK, then you can save $10 in 15 years. Is that easy enough for you? lol
this dude mad smart. even the health part was so “big picture” of him👏🏼
for clothing something I always though went without saying but I guess most people don't grasp or realize:
quality over quantity.
1. You don't necessarily need a capsule wardrobe but you do want to pay more for high quality basics. Neutral palette or if there's color make sure it's a color that works well with your specific skin tone/temperature since that's something that doesn't change.
2. thrift everything else. Not only is it better for the environment and cheaper but it forces you to think about what YOU actually like and your personal style vs what's on trend. Fast fashion is bad for the planet and for saving.
3. take care of everything properly. Learn how to handwash, learn where the good (and good value) drycleaner is where you live for things that need drycleaning (and go to the physical place, if you live in a city try to avoid those ConciergeBoxes or Washboxes that many apartments have...they'll go to the same places but upcharge and hey if you go to the same drycleaner for years as a regular and aren't an ass they're an individual and might give you better prices anyway). But also just read the labels on all your clothes. If you have to make a chart for your washing machine or have separate laundry baskets to help...go for it, it's worth it. And always air dry! avoid the dryer as much as possible! by washing things correctly and air drying you'll prolong the life and quality of your clothes a ton! I recently sold a bunch of clothes for more than I probably otherwise could've gotten because they were in close to perfect condition despite being used a ton and being over a decade old (only reason for selling was changing sizes).
4 but less important. it's helpful to stay in touch to some degree with what different stores/fashion labels in your area are doing business wise. Could be helpful to your investing but also just a good passive way to be aware of which brands are cutting costs in the quality of their clothes but keeping the prices the same. Where I live in the US a good example is J.Crew: growing up until about a decade or so ago they were known for having boring but great quality staples - middle class luxury: not really a designer but you pay a little extra for good quality staples that you'll have for a long time. Then ownership changed and they started getting trendier and the quality started to tank, but the prices stayed the same.
5. re: washing your clothes properly. You might think you know how to properly wash clothes, but the dunning kreuger effect can hit us all...it sounds boring and lame but watch a youtube video or too or listen passively to a podcast like Spotless (not a sponsorship they just have good advice, it's passive listening, and good radio voices) to double check if you're really doing things right. This goes for most things though: if you do routine general maintenance correctly things won't fall apart as fast and you'll save more in the long run.
Another great way to save money is to learn to be resourceful with your vehicle. Buy parts and install it yourself. For example, in BC Canada, a 200 dollar clutch can cost about 1200 dollars after labour. You can also save about 20 dollars by changing your own engine oil, and so on and so on. DYI is time consuming, but if you can swing it into your schedule, DO IT!!
Dude, nice sweatshirt
Thanks Mike
Man I have really learned a lot from you. Great information keep up the good work
