    I set a goal back in January to read 52 books this year. I finished book 52 at the end of July! I was telling my friends that it's no coincidence that setting that goal then bled into other areas of my life. Got a new job with a 39% paybump, made a plan to tackle baby step 2, and got elected to a position on a board of directors! Hopefully, I'll add millionaire to the list in a few years ;)

    My best money habit was learning to cook. I'm a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef so I can make whatever I want at home and can count on one hand the number of times I eat out or get food delivered in a year. When I was broke, my food budget was $100/month and I was the master of $1 meals.

      @westbccoast ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Exactly, I am not a great cook but cook pretty decent tasty meals. There are so many products on the market, even if you want to do low effort cooking like me, you just need to find or buy food you enjoy or can eat over and over and don't mind it. It's really not hard to come up with a hand full of recipes. TH-cam has many easy to cook meals, you can get really creative without it taking too much time. If you enjoy cooking, the sky is the limit. I rarely eat out. when I look at food, I calculate how many meals I can get out of a product.

    My worst money habit is the occasional impulse buy. For example, I have wanted a pair of bell bottom pants for a while, and I saw an ad on FB today for a pair that look so lovely. I checked my clothing budget and found I had more than enough to get them. So although I didn’t need them, per se, and impulse bought them, I still exercised the good habit of checking my budget first.
    My best money habit is probably carefully tracking my finances. Every week, and never less often than every two weeks, I record all my spending in my budget and verify that it’s all going according to plan. I also budget every month. I probably do more than I need to, but all in all, I’m happy with what I do. I’m in Baby Step 3B right now, and looking forward to having a nice fat downpayment in a couple of summers.

    George, I think your numbers on groceries are no longer accurate. We used to be able to do a family of two on $350 a month a couple of years ago. Now with a family of 3 with inflation, it's been around $700 a month. We are very intentional and it is still hard to go less than this. Your survey was BEFORE the crazy inflation so I suggest you reassess this. Thanks for all you do!

      @@IrisP989 Hi Iris. I have a mortgage. That’s all. We have 6 cars, a tractor, ATVs, trailers, etc. and they’re all paid off. All of our investment properties are paid off too. My hesitation is that I want to buy my neighbors 3400 sq ft home on 5 acres, which according to Zillow is worth about $900k. I have enough to pay cash for that, but not to bug that and pay off our ranch at the same time. Also, I leave about $400-$500k in my C-Corp each year. I suppose I could take it out and pay my home off, but I didn’t want to pay all the taxes, so I’m just leaving it there. My interest rate is 3.99% and the payment is $3400 a month. That’s only 2% of my monthly income, so I’m not really worried about it.
      Raising boys is a fun task!!!

    • @IrisP989
      @IrisP989 ปีที่แล้ว

      How many years do you have left on that mortgage?
      We have two mortgages (one house is a rental). One at 2.99% and the other at 3%. My husband doesn’t see the need to rush to pay them off if we can invest instead and the rental can be sold anytime (over $450K equity). The total of the loans is high but we managed to purchase these homes on a one 6 figure income in a high cost of living in CA and their market value nowadays in total is close to $2M.
      Both of our kids are boys so it’s fun and can be challenging at times too haha.

      @@IrisP989 our home is also in CA, east of Sacramento towards Lake Tahoe. We have 16 acres and a 4200 square feet, and I work mostly out of my Roseville, CA office. The out buildings at our home are barns, shops, etc. We bought it in 2019 but left it empty for 18 months until we moved in during COVID. We still have about 25 years left if I keep paying traditionally. I haven’t chose to pay it off because the upkeep has been a lot. We spent $120k on fences in 2021 to keep the animals in and the predictors at bay, and maybe spent as much on barns and landscaping. I still want to remove an older pole barn and build a 60x40 steel shop. My wife wants to remove part of the roof of our home and build out 2 more rooms and another deck. I have cash flowed all of our projects, so I haven’t been throwing extra on the mortgage yet.
      I understand your husbands perspective. That’s actually very common. I talk about those sorts of decisions almost every day as a Financial Planner. There is absolutely a level of peace that comes from having a paid off home. That peace has value, and it’s difficult to quantify what that’s worth vs. the potential of investment gains. I believe that women often value the peace more and men value the investment gains more. Just this week I had a meeting where a client couple of mine is receiving a $671k check from the PGE Fire Victims trust due to their home burning down in a wild fire up near Chico (Paradise, CA). The husband wants to invest it all. The wife wants to pay off their $171k mortgage. As their advisor, I suggested a compromise, and I think it’s something they can both support. We decided to invest it, but let their new investment expedite the payoff of their home. If it gets an 8% per year gain, that would pay their home off in just about 3.5 years, and the wife’s budget would no longer have a mortgage payment as we would be paying their loan from their investment account. If it grows like the husband wants it to, it may still have $671k in 3.5 years, or could have even more. I thought this was a good middle ground, and they both felt good about it. Haha. Another marital conflict averted!!! Maybe a strategy like that would work well in your situation??

      It's probably worth noting that those grocery numbers are almost certainly a bit stale, prior to recent inflation making everything significantly more expensive. And yeah, it's probably closer to a 2 person household on average.

    In 20 years I went from fresh out of grad school and $80k of debt (i.e. negative net worth) to a total of $2+ million assets.
    My habits: I commute 2+ hours a day in my 12 year-old Ford Focus, cook at home whenever I can.
    Delayed gratification is my favorite game. My car is the only vehicle that I have ever bought new, and I did it with cash. I even recommend to my son to delay marriage until after 30, so he can be on a solid financial footing. The world is full of shiny things to get you off track.
    The wife and I will soon take the keys to our sixth property, a small two-bedroom that is just under a quarter million $. No financing, as we paid for it in full.
    I plan to work to 70 and hopefully have a nest egg of $10M or so. Then I hope to not need to delay any more.

    This is good basic advice, if you are above a certain threshold of income.
    However, a key thing to remember when doing your budget is having a bit of extra income to live.
    The hardest step is earning more than $34K a year.
    Most financial gurus skip this step entirely, and they don't give any advice on how to do it.
    If rent is more than 50% of your income, you need more income. That means more hours of work, which means less hours to read. However, observing the surroundings at your job can all teach skills. The problem with knowledge is: you don't know, what you don't know.
    I mean you can only work 12 to 16 hours a day for so long before something Catastrophic happens.

With that said, I’d like to see what the average household size is for those $400 month grocery budget and does the grocery budget include hygiene needs such as tooth brush, shampoo, soap, etc. If it is just food, we aren’t too far off but family of 5 isn’t easy to skim by at $400 month, that’s approximately $95 a week .. in perspective, that’s about $19 per person per month, lol. My wife makes homemade meals like soups and spaghetti that are large batches and allows us leftovers but yeah … I’m questioning this $400 a month on food unless it’s breakfast lunch and dinner of Roman noodles.

    I call bs on the groceries. I use coupons, buy in bulk, and visit several different stores chasing the sale. There is no way a family of 4 can only spend $600 a month. Unless you are eating like crap, and in that case you are trading health for wealth. Just some basic math, fruit is about $2 a pound (averaging different types). You are supposed to have 4 fruits a day, but let’s say you only do one. For a family of 4, that is about $3 a day which comes to $90 a month; $360, if you do the 4 fruits for the 4 people every day.

      The main thing I find that older model vehicles have over the newer models is history. Let’s use the previous generation Toyota Tundra as an example. It was relatively unchanged since it was released in 2007. Common trouble spots were well known, and parts availability was fairly good to boot. You could buy a 2021 Tundra brand new, and it had 14 years of history behind it to back it up. Compare that to the 2022 Tundra. Sure, Toyota has history behind it based on their reputation…but at the end of the day, it’s still an entirely brand new design. There aren’t years of identical trucks on the road with well documented issues, everything is now new, and everyone is learning as they go. Sure, they might be very good….but no one really knows for sure how reliable and problematic (ie costly) they will truly be until they are at least a few years old, and there are numerous examples with 100k+ miles to look back on.
