Absolutely! It is the foundation of everything in our nation. Sports, Art, Education, Healthcare, Food etc. I believe the way we take our country back from corporate greed is build off grid communities and start trading with each other. Easier said than done though.
@Tiger_Trades21 I agree but that definitely would be tough. The vast majority are hooked on a system that caters to every need within seconds and have minimal to no skills to do the things needed for that type of lifestyle.
@@RedLegPiper You are absolutely right, the vast majority of people wouldn't be able to adapt to such a lifestyle, especially the younger people I think. I myself plan to build such a community with solar panels, rain catchers, wells, crops, cattle, horses etc. It will be a ton of work, but I think something to be proud of. I've been learning to trade financial markets (hence my name) and I plan on using the money I make to fund all these projects I want to work on.
And yet we’ve let in millions and millions and millions of more people 😂 What’s the solution there !? Universal basic income !? Indentured servitude !? Maybe a secure border 🧱…..
@@Bluemortal001 anything the government touches they screw up. The worst words you will ever hear are "we are the US government, and we are here to help". UBI aint the answer. Its a false sense of security.
I don't give a damn about what other people think of me. Because they don't pay my bills.And I empress myself every day for surviving through this bullshit.
I used to say pay your house first, I changed it pay your car payment and insurance on the car, because if you loose the house you have your car to sleep in, that’s the trend today... How Saddddd
I don't agree because if I lose my house there's like 20 hotels on every block so I would just go check into one or stay at a shelter it's not really much of an option but it's better then a car because if it's just a car then your going to be woken up and told to leave you can't park here! There's more risk to jail time because if you don't have a roof you can just camp on the same property they kicked you off of a car would draw attention. You just hang there at night time until the housing agency finds you a place because some of these houses stay vacant for decades until someone moves in. You could also pitch a tent in the backyard as long as you tear it down because it's well hidden and we know the neighbors would probably not snitch on us because we have spoken to them they don't agree about them kicking us out over maintenance issues either because we already paid them back.
@unicorn73212 I've been in my car and was never bothered! I parked in a little quiet Neighborhood across from a golf course as long as you're not drawing attention to yourself it's really fine.. I'd rather be in my car than a shelter that smells like piss and vomit.. and looks so un well kept. My car would feel like home for sure.
@fireonhair yeah we cook at home 6 days a week and enjoy dine in one day a week. Even that is expensive. Family of 4 for one meal is $100 at crappy Applebee's lmao. Four years ago, that same trip was $60
I don't care what anybody thinks. I sold my house in the city that cost a forture to keep up & bought me some land & a mobile home out in a rural area that will fulfill my needs for the rest of my life. I too drive a 2005 Yukon that still has less than 150K miles. I'm paying off my last credit card & I only owe less than 20K on my land that I plan to pay off by the end of next year.
🎉amazing . That's my plan !!! Also if you have good land and property you could rent the land out on Hi-Camp and make some extra money towards paying everything off ...🎉
Me and my gf live full time in our CamperVan, we spent 6 months building it then left our apartment at the end of the lease , we both have amazing full time jobs, and stealth camp in our city. We love it. Keep all of our checks. I work in food service and it feeds us for free. We love life and are loaded with cash.
Agree. I don't like the van life channels thst glory about their 200k conversion and all the shit absolutely no one can relate to. However, the simple and minimal lifestyle on the road that most viewers understand are refreshing to watch.
Moved out of 1,500 dollars per month apartment to a shared one for 500 bucks,sold my car and walk to and from work 40 mins each way,stopped buying new phones every year,buy clothes maybe once or twice a year,stopped my gym membership and some streaming services and finally bought myself a nice 70 inch TV,I've decided to become a hermit and the results are extraordinary on my finances granted I've killed my social life but its feels liberating......
Philippians 4:6-7 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

@Propitiation Most people don't have enough for a 400 dollar emergency. 10k can give you 6 months of looking for another job without worry. Crazy how people live in different situations :O
My idea of dining out is buying a frozen entree. No more restaurants 😢 I've deprived and scrimped and saved my entire life and I'm in my 60s. Never experienced such inflation. Thank you Jesus for my blessings. Please protect us 🙏🤲📿
In such a situation it's better to have a small piece of land and plant some food of your own: vegetables, berries, fruit. Saved us in the 90s in Russia. There was a time when potato was the main food my family had and chicken was for special days.
@recabitejehonadab2654 true many people lose money in a crash, but if you don't pull it out, it comes back and doubles. Overall, investing your money is a way better solution than using a bank or stuffing it under a mattress for 30 years. Even cashing out during a market crash would yield you more than hard cash would.
@@RedLegPiperit's also an abomination to God to make money off of the downfall of you're own people. Stocks are pure evil and don't get me started on eBay swindling since when does a 5$ product get a 15$ dollar price tag that's highway robbery.
There's two things that benefited me the most, no children, and no bad debt. Now, I do have to increase my income. That's why i'm learning new skills. I've also been saving and investing my money aggressively. Scary time we living in. I wish everybody my blessings. Be safe folks.
@@moshow93 yep! I'm actually a good looking guy (not tooting my own horn) but you would be surprised by the expectations of women who don't make anymore money than you and many have kids. I don't have any baggage but you would be shocked how easily these same women will criticize me for BS and but when I get rejected for some stupid ass reasons, I think to myself, wtf do these woman really think they are something special? That's the issue when you are dating women when you are in your 30's or 40's, what you get if the left over rejects for the most part.
Im out of debt. Mortgage free own my home. payed off my house in 2013. Truck is payed off. Im on straight talk 50 a month. Im getting there praise God. Amen +
Because u pay ur mortgage doesn't mean u really own it. Governments can change laws & make it illegal for u to own a home. When mortgage is paid u still have to pay taxes & up keep on the house such as fixing roofs mowing lawns appliances etc. Dont pay your taxes & u will see who owns ur home real quick. U also have to pay insurance. No one has control over how much taxes are.
@joshuaturnage5243 we truly own nothing. The fact we pay taxes to the government for the DIRT under our feet should be criminal. I'd still rather have a paid off house than rent though. My taxes and insurance combined is $1,200/year
And thank god for property tax or corporations would own every speck of land in this country, owning land at no cost sounds great in theory until there is no land left for sale.
Vanity and superficial living is what is killing people today. Because they have a friend or a neighbor, or someone they see online who seems to have it better, they feel they should too, or feel less then, because they do not. This mentality has always been there but nothing as strong and prevelant as it is today.
Had a job making over 20$ plus an hour but now im paying for it with my health. Was a good job at first but now im almost disabled. The job became way to physical where i had to quit bc i was in so much pain. I need at least two different surgeries. One for a oblique strain and a severe lat strain in my back. Can't afford surgery with my current insurance plan and can't really work anywhere to pick up some good benefits. Moral of the story to sacrifice your health to gain wealth. You will have to use your wealth to try an gain back your health.
Bought a home in Arizona for $360,000 in 2019. Current mortgage $338,000. Current home value $400,000. Plant to sell it in 5 years, take the money on top of savings, buy mobile home on land, and retire that way. No other debt, no car payments, and trying to keep it that way.
We sold our 2000sq ft home 2 yrs ago in the big city. I built a weekend 400 sq ft log cabin on 40 acres in 2016. No heat, no plumbing, no well, etc. I worked very hard and paid the land off as well as the cabin in 2016. We live here full time now. Went from large house payment and outrageous utility bills, to zero utility bills and no mortgage. No car payments and dropped my bad habits like tobacco and alcohol. Built our daughter her own tiny cabin, and now she's 18 and working a full-time job and saving every penny she can while she lives at home. Moral of my story, us blue collar folks need to prepare to live below our means. This man is correct, im 44 yrs old and the old American Dream is no longer there. Now my dream is to do everything i can to support my wife, daughter, and those around me that will need housing. 40 acres allows me plenty of room to build a few small cabins for those i love, should they need help. Thats the only skill i can bring to the table is survival. Been doing it for year's and learning from my mistakes. Awesome video my man!
People buy huge,expensive ,house for three people. People buy unnecessary things just to impress others. People know they cannot afford things and yet they buy it with credit cards. We are the problem
True we are our own worst enemies. When you get older you can’t start over again, I lost my way for a few years over severe depression but I am back at it again and much better off. I don’t know if things have changed all that much I seem to remember hearing stuff similar to this 40 years ago of course I didn’t listen. Some advice to someone older and alone if you own that house then rent out a room and recover some of that property tax and insurance
I own a 06 Toyota and it just crossed 300k miles a couple of weeks ago. She still runs like a champ one of the best cars I ever owned. She’s NOT a head turner but she get ya where your trying to go💪🏿
I got fed up with our debt in 2016 and started paying everything off. We will be completely debt free by next spring, including our mortgage. It will take a total of 9 years, but we had about $300k in debt.
I have a spreadsheet with every cent I earned and every cent I spent since 1999. It was my path to financial freedom. People don’t realize where their money goes if it isn’t captured and shown. Using a spreadsheet with history, you can look back and project your expenses (and earnings) going forward.
I am retired and rent right now where I live is for a one bedroom $950.00 that's the cheapest and you pay all utilities. It's keeping everyone in a strong hold.This man is speaking the truth It's not going get any better out there in this world.
High costs of living states or cities are gonna be tough to really get ahead in. The Midwest is fairly still "affordable" outside of the major metro areas, but jobs aren't as well paid either. The further away from any major city limit, in my opinion the better and more affordable, but even that comes at a cost in other areas.
If you men are single then stay that way...at 45 I have a paid off home ...just bought a 23 promaster van I converted myself.i travel on weekends and eat out when I want...no wife no kids no problems
I’m a mother and black I agree marriage and kids cost I tell people all the time it’s not the 90s where rent and car payments and food was much cheaper in today’s times you need to be a billionaire to survive
Having physical lists and a projected net income graph completely turned my life around. 30 years ago I was in and out of jail, was perpetually in debt, going down a bad path. I read an Anthony Robbins book (Awaken the giant within). Now I own a mountain. No debt, 30 year marriage, kids that still like me, the whole nine yards. Didn't cost me a cent except the paper and the ink. I had ten things I wanted out of life (peace of mind was #1). You have to physically read the list every day. I had laminated it and put it in the shower. Read that list every morning for a year or two. Took 10 years to accomplish everything on it, even the things I never in a million years thought I would. Once you realize that it works, lists become part of your life, a roadmap to where you want to be. Don't pay anyone for guidance, guide yourself, write out a list. It's literally that easy (but it DOES take time!!!).
You have to be sick and tired really. Rock bottom type shit. I'm proud of you. And I'm sure tour family has been blessed because of your actions to make a change. We'll done man. Mad respect.
@@RedLegPiper I liken it to the new car phenomenon...you buy a new car, and suddenly you SEE the same car everywhere, even though they were already there (your brain wasn't programmed to see them). When your brain sees "debt free" on a piece of paper, it programs itself to look for things that will help with that goal, it really is that simple. If you don't have a map to your goals, you will never get there. It's just simple fact, and it's FREE. 100% FREE, and you don't have to do anything except write out a list and pin it to the wall. Our minds are phenomenal machines, but you gotta point them in a direction or at least feed in the criteria. Subbed.
@tombstoneranch69 Not only that, the new feeling wares off within a few months, and then buyers' remorse kicks in with most things. At least it did for me, lmao.
I am single, drive a 2003 Dodge Ram. Insurance is $23 a month and I don't drive much. I own a 2 bedroom house that's not paid off but has super low payments I can pay a lot extra on a month. I rent out the other bedroom to a trustworthy person. Only eat meals I make at home. I wear cheap jeans and t shirts. I have absolutely no desire to impress anyone with material possessions. I actually really love seeming to be poor. I am content and never worry about money. Now I just need to find a job I like to do and I'll be set!
If I were to encapsulate your message, it’s this: less is more, anymore. It’s sage advice. I’m new to your channel here - I love your energy. I turned 40 this year and I too am questioning everything. It’s the quintessential mid-life crisis here for me in Dallas, TX. You’re a splash of color in an otherwise dull and drab existence. Stay blessed. 🥂
I know you care about your wife & kids, so please don’t smoke anything. That will save you money too and your life. Thanks for sharing your very sound advice. 😊😊
Yes we are being programmed to be wage slaves and the young ppl can't think critically to get themselves ahead. Don't be offended by my comment, instead think of how to get out of this matrix system. The problem with most ppl these days is the mentality of " I need to have this and that to fit in and have a good life". Everyone wants to be respected in their community whether they want to admit it or not, and they think material possessions and outward status will get them that respect. That's why ppl buy things they cannot afford to look a certain way to get respect from ppl around them. Learn to be humble and make sacrifices to get ahead and everything else will follow.
@@RedLegPiperI would love to do that. I am on Social Security and Medicare. My 401-K is gone and my health prevents me from going back to work. If things don’t improve, I’ll be living in my car in a state that has laws against car/van living. 😢
I have 5 cars. Paid cash for all of them. I daily drive a rusty Hyundai with 261k on the clock. My "nice" car is a 2 owner '88 Crown Vic in showroom condition that I scored for $500. I have 5 solid cars for under $10k. I did a car payment once. Never again.
Great video. New subscriber. I have been living in my Toyota Prius for 8 years. I consider myself “houseless” rather than homeless, because I am living my best life in the home of my choosing, and choose not to pay rent or mortgage to the man

The mark doesn't get introduced to the world until 3.5 years into the tribulation. It hasn't started yet. What marks the beginning of the 7 year Tribulation is when the Antichrist signs the covenant with the many. We're close. Revelation 13 tells us that.
Wise words. We've always been able to put some amount of money away no matter how little we made. But then we're not the kind of people who want to keep up with the neighbors. Our cars are from 2009, 2010, and 2015 and they are all paid off and work fine. Our house is ours and we keep a budget to work by. Sure we go over it sometimes as things happen, but it's a good planning tool. People believe that hard times are here...but it hasn't begun yet. It's going to be bad, especially for the retirees living on a fixed budget as they just can't run out and get a 2nd or 3rd job. Good luck to you all.
-People who make less than 65k should only get taxed on their checks once a month -Government should give us photo proof and writing of what are taxes went to so we can see the money in motion -Rent should be universally $400 per bed room the unit has -There should be homeless shelters for those who pay taxes and those who don’t to avoid conflict with drug addicts or the mentally ill

Sadly i was late on rent. But it was my fault. I ate out, miscalculated just how much things have gone up. Been micromanaging now and seeing just how much fast food killed me. Had i been a little more frugal and been more mindful where friends hang out, i would have saved 600$ alone. Its insane...
At least you know where it all went and can make adjustments so it won’t happen again. Keep your head up cause we’ve all been there. Learn from this and move on
A bag of rice, eggs, bone broth, broccoli, seasonings, butter, salsa, steaks and burgers for the month cooked by you at home would be healthier and cost half as much. Best shape of my life on a budget.
It’s crazy because I am seeing ads for diamond jewelry. This is crazy because who is thinking about buying and affording that? The delusion is next level.
Exactly and the women spend thousands of dollars on plastic surgery is insane right now. I just brought some fake jewelry for a Gala event and I spent under $15. And I'm pretty sure I will get the same compliments like it's the real thing.
I'll be alright. I eat less and spend less, and I'm doing better. Over consumption was a problem. I cut back on buying coffee, take out, I barely travel anymore. I spent 2k going to New hampshire for 3 days. 😂😂😂 I'm working a w2 and doing gig work. I've lost all desire for the finer things and for just good enough. Right now, is the time to get educated and start something new. We have to build more skills and really do more. We don't have time to waste.
Lol …If you actually read the Bible.. you’d know you wouldn’t need those condoms until you got married. If you are a single man.

In 2016 when we got trump it made my life better. I am self employed and used my truck a lot and gas got down to $1.79 gallon. I also did not have health insurance under Obama i had a $1000 penalty and Trump stopped that. Trump is not perfect but a better choice.

You spend less than you earn. I never bought expensive toys and what I did buy I took my time and did the research before actually buying the item. Now, I never married nor had children.

Now I can retire at the end of this year and have a steady monthly income from Social Security and postal pension.

I’m sorry buddy I’m gonna have to disagree with you on that it doesn’t matter who you vote for it absolutely does matter in my opinion One of the reasons were in the situation we are in it because we offer free healthcare free housing free education and everything else to illegals that cross the border of this country I have no idea how that crap is even legal Other issue that we have is even here in Michigan we have half of the people that pay for car insurance and the other half of the people that don’t even bother because it’s too expensive Do you want to guess which groups of people pay the insurance and which group of people don’t !? And I’m not talking about race or color I’m saying there’s something systematically wrong when you have 1/2 of the country that wants to give away all of our resources and another half of the country that has to pay for it 🇺🇸
My husband and I also did the opposite shift thing while we were raising our kids. We never paid for childcare. That truly is how we paid off our house. We paid extra on the principal every month because we weren’t paying for childcare. We paid off a 30 year loan in 14 years.
We are trying to do that. Some people only opinion is day care, but I would be working just to pay that. A decent daycare in Texas $1,700 a month. It's more reasonable for me to be a stay at mom until she starts school. Then I can go back to work full-time.
Salute to your opening statement on politics and education. Unfortunately, a majority of our society loves blaiming others for what they failed to learn.

Correct. Purchase a small plot of land with a well. Get 1 year freeze dried food. Large solar generator chickens and a garden. Build a shelter. Wood stove. Air conditioning from generator. Little to no bills. No taxes no government. Now you have food water shelter. Phone if you want. Freedom

Its not about survival , its about thriving ... Pay the house off, never have a car note... RUN IT UP. Dont work for anyone. The presudent dont dictate shit
My aunt traumatized me into me setting a budget once I get my first job. I see how she always gambles away her earnings, gives it away to some dude whon strayed away, and always struggled to pay bills and needed my father helping keep the house up (our families used to live together inna single house) It scares me from ever being like her.
Thank you for this I needed this so bad, hands down one of the best educational/discipline videos I have come across this year. Cheers to you dude we will all be successful I hope and pray for everyone.
Exactly what you're saying. I prefer tracking to the penny. And tracking on paper. The same for eating out. I meal prep and make menues. Our transportation and shelter are paid for. Our vehicle has been paid for for 11++ years. The same for our previous vehicles. I'm not for impressing folks either. My focus is paying things down and living within our means. I meal prep weekly but for monthly meals. I batch cook and freeze the recipes. Therefore, all I need to do is pick a meal, heat it up. But definitely having a physical budget has helped me tremendously. I don't like all the digital stuff. I did that, then my computer/phone etc. crashed. Oh and already canceled subscriptions and changing phone companies as well. Also, no cable. Hello to my cds/dvds/vhs's.
It will be a transfer of wealth like no other. I prefer to plan for Prosperity because your energy flows where your attention goes. Plan to be on the winning side of this wealth transfer.
As someone fortunate enough to have reserves to last for many years, I'm not terribly concerned and feel no need to prepare for homelessness in 2025...or 2026...or 2027...or...
LOL! People like you make me laugh. The dollar is no longer the reserve currency. Whatever you have will be devalued overnight when the BRICS currency goes online. No SS, no pensions, no mutual funds or bonds, crashed stock market, hyper-inflation, all goods coming from countries you will be at war with... If you have gold it will be too dangerous to leave you home to sell it and you can't eat it. Gas will be $40 a gallon. No trucking what little food available. "Fortunate enough to have reserves..." LOL. Make sure you reserve a casket...
Even if I had everything paid off, I still have property taxes, home insurance, utilities, Healthcare insurance, cellphones, car insurance not to mention food and car maintenance and gas. And all that is just getting by with no frills.
+1 for getting an old Toyota. I purchased a 2004 Corolla 10 years ago. It's a beater but it's never let me down. They might be ugly but you can't beat a mid 2000s car. You just can't get ahead in a corporate job anymore unless you're in the top 1% of talent.
Nah that’s real. Real talk, you not lying. I’m in the process of this now basically just growing more into manhood and implementing discipline into almost everything that I do that I wish to perfect in anyway. For I know one may never be perfect but I don’t strive for perfectionism, I strive for the perfection within myself. In the end I know I will never be, but I sure can do my best to live up to my highest standards. May God bless you and anyone reading this.
@@RedLegPiper Yes sir, very right. Imma make a mental note of that so soon it’ll naturally embed itself into my brain, because you are absolutely right.
Great video. School therapist here. It’s honestly SO FUCKED how our school systems don’t reach the kids Jack shit about money. As you said- that’s what the system wants- for them to make mistakes. Sadly a lot of parents don’t know anything either so the kids never learn and then flounder around in life. It breaks my heart. Whenever my clients bring up money I gently and therapeutically open up a convo about the important of financially planning in terms of basics like making a budget, tracking spending and avoiding debt. Poor kids!
This is actually very similar to how the first Civil War in the 19th century started. Contrary to popular belief, it was not fought over slavery. Slavery was just the justification for it because Lincoln did not want the country to split apart. Every war ever fought is really about economics. In this case, it actually all started because of property taxes. This all stops when we stop letting politicians and 'experts' convince us to lower our expectations.
My husband & I are mid 50's, and we had to refinance our home 2 years ago, wirh only 3 years keft on the previous mortgage! I fell ill in 2020 and became disabled. Medical bills killed us financially, so we refunanced our home. Looking back now, that was the dumbest thing weve ever done as a couple! We have budgeted for 34 years, our friends would think they were dying if they lived on what we live on! At least we still have a roof over our heads, and transportation, and food. We're so very blessed and thankful for all of God's grace.
Best advice I tell people that are between the age of 18-28. DO NOT HAVE KIDS. Especially if you’re not born into generational wealth or have a secured high paying job. If you’re just some regular schmuck with a job that can be easily replaced. Lookout after yourself, be as minimalist as possible and save $$. We are heading into some dark times ahead and the signs are everywhere.
From $2K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
I spend like $300 on food a month, car is tremendously old and inherited from parents, rent is $750, and my job where I stand around doing nothing pays $2500 a month. People blame anything but their poor life choices I swear. Don't make car payments, don't get a super nice house, and don't build credit... when you don't even have much money. It's okay to be in debt if you actually HAVE money.

I myself plan to build such a community with solar panels, rain catchers, wells, crops, cattle, horses etc. It will be a ton of work, but I think something to be proud of.

I've always said the same
thing ✌️
I used to say pay your house first, I changed it pay your car payment and insurance on the car, because if you loose the house you have your car to sleep in, that’s the trend today... How Saddddd
I don't agree because if I lose my house there's like 20 hotels on every block so I would just go check into one or stay at a shelter it's not really much of an option but it's better then a car because if it's just a car then your going to be woken up and told to leave you can't park here! There's more risk to jail time because if you don't have a roof you can just camp on the same property they kicked you off of a car would draw attention.
You just hang there at night time until the housing agency finds you a place because some of these houses stay vacant for decades until someone moves in. You could also pitch a tent in the backyard as long as you tear it down because it's well hidden and we know the neighbors would probably not snitch on us because we have spoken to them they don't agree about them kicking us out over maintenance issues either because we already paid them back.
@unicorn73212 I've been in my car and was never bothered! I parked in a little quiet Neighborhood across from a golf course as long as you're not drawing attention to yourself it's really fine.. I'd rather be in my car than a shelter that smells like piss and vomit.. and looks so un well kept. My car would feel like home for sure.
Always keep the house hotels are expensive you can bathe and relax transportation is always avalible with bus and uber
Insurance is being weaponized because they’re overcharging some while others pay less
More and more store parking lots will call the cops on you and you'll be kicked out. No where to go.

Because u pay ur mortgage doesn't mean u really own it. Governments can change laws & make it illegal for u to own a home. When mortgage is paid u still have to pay taxes & up keep on the house such as fixing roofs mowing lawns appliances etc. Dont pay your taxes & u will see who owns ur home real quick. U also have to pay insurance. No one has control over how much taxes are.
@joshuaturnage5243 we truly own nothing. The fact we pay taxes to the government for the DIRT under our feet should be criminal. I'd still rather have a paid off house than rent though. My taxes and insurance combined is $1,200/year
And thank god for property tax or corporations would own every speck of land in this country, owning land at no cost sounds great in theory until there is no land left for sale.
Vanity and superficial living is what is killing people today. Because they have a friend or a neighbor, or someone they see online who seems to have it better, they feel they should too, or feel less then, because they do not. This mentality has always been there but nothing as strong and prevelant as it is today.
Can confirm
Had a job making over 20$ plus an hour but now im paying for it with my health. Was a good job at first but now im almost disabled.

Can't afford surgery with my current insurance plan and can't really work anywhere to pick up some good benefits. Moral of the story to sacrifice your health to gain wealth. You will have to use your wealth to try an gain back your health.

Bought a home in Arizona for $360,000 in 2019. Current mortgage $338,000. Current home value $400,000. Plant to sell it in 5 years, take the money on top of savings, buy mobile home on land, and retire that way. No other debt, no car payments, and trying to keep it that way.
We sold our 2000sq ft home 2 yrs ago in the big city. I built a weekend 400 sq ft log cabin on 40 acres in 2016. No heat, no plumbing, no well, etc. I worked very hard and paid the land off as well as the cabin in 2016. We live here full time now. Went from large house payment and outrageous utility bills, to zero utility bills and no mortgage. No car payments and dropped my bad habits like tobacco and alcohol. Built our daughter her own tiny cabin, and now she's 18 and working a full-time job and saving every penny she can while she lives at home.
Moral of my story, us blue collar folks need to prepare to live below our means. This man is correct, im 44 yrs old and the old American Dream is no longer there. Now my dream is to do everything i can to support my wife, daughter, and those around me that will need housing. 40 acres allows me plenty of room to build a few small cabins for those i love, should they need help. Thats the only skill i can bring to the table is survival. Been doing it for year's and learning from my mistakes.

High costs of living states or cities are gonna be tough to really get ahead in. The Midwest is fairly still "affordable" outside of the major metro areas, but jobs aren't as well paid either. The further away from any major city limit, in my opinion the better and more affordable, but even that comes at a cost in other areas.

Having physical lists and a projected net income graph completely turned my life around. 30 years ago I was in and out of jail, was perpetually in debt, going down a bad path. I read an Anthony Robbins book (Awaken the giant within). Now I own a mountain. No debt, 30 year marriage, kids that still like me, the whole nine yards. Didn't cost me a cent except the paper and the ink. I had ten things I wanted out of life (peace of mind was #1). You have to physically read the list every day. I had laminated it and put it in the shower. Read that list every morning for a year or two. Took 10 years to accomplish everything on it, even the things I never in a million years thought I would. Once you realize that it works, lists become part of your life, a roadmap to where you want to be. Don't pay anyone for guidance, guide yourself, write out a list. It's literally that easy (but it DOES take time!!!).

Yes we are being programmed to be wage slaves and the young ppl can't think critically to get themselves ahead. Don't be offended by my comment, instead think of how to get out of this matrix system. The problem with most ppl these days is the mentality of " I need to have this and that to fit in and have a good life". Everyone wants to be respected in their community whether they want to admit it or not, and they think material possessions and outward status will get them that respect. That's why ppl buy things they cannot afford to look a certain way to get respect from ppl around them. Learn to be humble and make sacrifices to get ahead and everything else will follow.

Wise words. We've always been able to put some amount of money away no matter how little we made. But then we're not the kind of people who want to keep up with the neighbors. Our cars are from 2009, 2010, and 2015 and they are all paid off and work fine. Our house is ours and we keep a budget to work by. Sure we go over it sometimes as things happen, but it's a good planning tool. People believe that hard times are here...but it hasn't begun yet.

Life hack… order the kids name you can get a sirloin steak and outback for 999 with a potato or you can go to Applebee’s and get a hamburger and three mozzarella sticks for 699. You can get a junior grand slam for 699 at Denny’s on the kids menu order the kids mail you’ll thank me later, but you have to go!!!!
There is honestly nothing to save. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. By the time you’re done paying bills nothing is left.
I retired at 33 years old i am 37 years old now. When i still working at my job i take bus and train to work every day for 15 years.
How's life for you now? I'm about to drop a video soon a out how I reited at 40 and hated it.
I needed to find purpose.
paid off the house last year. having no mortgage has made raising 3 small kids much much easier
It's a blessing for the hard work you put in. Enjoy your family.
@@AnthonyMercado-1988 My house is like this, fxcking leaks bro 😵
You spend less than you earn. I never bought expensive toys and what I did buy I took my time and did the research before actually buying the item. Now, I never married nor had children. I was fortunate enough to work for the post office and earn a good salary. I was able to save money into my thrift savings account and IRAs. Now I can retire at the end of this year and have a steady monthly income from Social Security and postal pension.
Retired carrier, civil service, no social security. My pension is usually enough. Cashed out my thrift plan, govt took a third right off the top. Not fair. I liked working, body said “it’s time to go”. lol. Love being retired.
@@OldUncleMike, I'm the same way. Diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2022 and after getting pneumonia earlier this year, can no longer do the work. Using sick leave under FMLA and doctor's note. I do like being retired.
@@blue99saturn my ankles, knees, back were in bad shape. Now arthritic knees really slow me down along with a long time degenerating disc. Been retired 6 yrs. 👍
@@OldUncleMike, I carried mail for 21 years, then switched to clerk craft and a much smaller office in 2021. The carrier position does take a physical toll on one's body.
We really need to talk in our neighborhoods and ban together.
United Corporations of America. We live in an oligarchy.
Not only America this world is sold out to the capitalist this world is doomed
Always have done...
I’m sorry buddy I’m gonna have to disagree with you on that it doesn’t matter who you vote for it absolutely does matter in my opinion
One of the reasons were in the situation we are in it because we offer free healthcare free housing free education and everything else to illegals that cross the border of this country
I have no idea how that crap is even legal
Other issue that we have is even here in Michigan we have half of the people that pay for car insurance and the other half of the people that don’t even bother because it’s too expensive
Do you want to guess which groups of people pay the insurance and which group of people don’t !?
And I’m not talking about race or color
I’m saying there’s something systematically wrong when you have 1/2 of the country that wants to give away all of our resources and another half of the country that has to pay for it

You make alot of great points.
Voting is when you select a thief from a list. You can't pick one who will improve your condition. Thieves don't work that way.
💯
And the ones getting it mostly NEVER worked for it!!!
My husband and I also did the opposite shift thing while we were raising our kids. We never paid for childcare. That truly is how we paid off our house. We paid extra on the principal every month because we weren’t paying for childcare. We paid off a 30 year loan in 14 years.
We are trying to do that. Some people only opinion is day care, but I would be working just to pay that. A decent daycare in Texas $1,700 a month. It's more reasonable for me to be a stay at mom until she starts school. Then I can go back to work full-time.
Thank you for taking the time to share this truth.
May God bless & protect you and your family
Same to you!
Salute to your opening statement on politics and education. Unfortunately, a majority of our society loves blaiming others for what they failed to learn.
Most of the comments here are made by broke whiners
People laugh at me for buying a 2000 Subaru Outback with 214,331 miles on it. Well guess who has no car payment? This guy!!
@Outback69 I used to call people broke who drive older paid off cars. Not knowing alot of them are far more wealthy than everyone with the latest models
Food literally comes last. I only eat once a day.
Grocery store hot food counters are cheap and will get you a nice healthy meal for less than $10. most places
U crazy
This not click bait its the reality we face in America either you find out prepared or unprepared its your choice
@@Earthcitizen4609 agreed. The sad reality is 99% will ignore it
@@RedLegPiperUBI is coming!
Even if you are prepared and try to have the mindset of a Spartan it's still your reality in America
1) unlock your phones and visible is prepaid Verizon at $20 a month.
2) put $200 a month in a high yield savings account for car repairs.
That's a great idea
I don't like Trump either. But in January of 2020, 2 months before the covid cooties and lockdowns, etc the US economy was in good shape.
@kevinmccready4114 yep. And that is the ONLY reason I'm voting Trump. Because of his policies.
Unfortunately, you have people voting on person or party and not policy. Personally, I don't believe our vote matters, but I'm gonna vote anyway.
Correct. Purchase a small plot of land with a well. Get 1 year freeze dried food. Large solar generator chickens and a garden. Build a shelter. Wood stove. Air conditioning from generator. Little to no bills. No taxes no government. Now you have food water shelter. Phone if you want. Freedom
2017 Toyota Camry is an excellent car. 2018 Toyota RAV4 is great. Older Tacomas and Tundras are excellent trucks.
They seem to run forever
I have dodge and Ford.
Both outlived the Honda and Toyota.
Both have well over 300,000 miles.
No need to prepare to be homeless when the land & home is paid off 🔥 took the smart route in 2017. Knew this shi* was coming. Love from Oregon
I'll be a squatter in my own home....I'd like to see a banker come take my home.
@@frankiefernandez5252 haha for sure.
The banker doesn't show up. Their goons do 😏
@@bywaterbeatsproduction Not planning is your problem. Worried about the law, are you making contact with your local sheriff? Get ahead of things, we are all going to be broke.
I already owe the bank fml 😂
@Michaelfatman-xo7gv I'm a prepper sir. I'm all planned out for life. I'm on a houseboat, I ain't worried about nothing.
Its not about survival , its about thriving ...
Pay the house off, never have a car note... RUN IT UP. Dont work for anyone. The presudent dont dictate shit
If you live in the South good luck living without a car
Well said. Trying to pay off my home asap
you got this!
My aunt traumatized me into me setting a budget once I get my first job. I see how she always gambles away her earnings, gives it away to some dude whon strayed away, and always struggled to pay bills and needed my father helping keep the house up (our families used to live together inna single house) It scares me from ever being like her.
Def great advice …. Even if you do support the system and the leaders you still be crushed by it
Thank you for this I needed this so bad, hands down one of the best educational/discipline videos I have come across this year. Cheers to you dude we will all be successful I hope and pray for everyone.
I'm already homeless living in my car. Leaving to another country. America seems dead these days😢
@kloston1 I'm sorry man it's tough.
Which country?
@@manuelpalmeira7278 Australia. Met someone from there
Been dead since 2000
Get out while you can
I know some people who are housing insecure if it was me I would 100% be preparing to live in my vehicle
Start a garden too best money saver, stress reliever, no line in the store.
I've been gardening for years. Garden tomatoes are sweeter and tastier than store bought tomatoes.
Exactly what you're saying. I prefer tracking to the penny. And tracking on paper. The same for eating out. I meal prep and make menues. Our transportation and shelter are paid for. Our vehicle has been paid for for 11++ years. The same for our previous vehicles. I'm not for impressing folks either. My focus is paying things down and living within our means. I meal prep weekly but for monthly meals. I batch cook and freeze the recipes. Therefore, all I need to do is pick a meal, heat it up. But definitely having a physical budget has helped me tremendously. I don't like all the digital stuff. I did that, then my computer/phone etc. crashed. Oh and already canceled subscriptions and changing phone companies as well. Also, no cable. Hello to my cds/dvds/vhs's.
Wonderful plan.
It will be a transfer of wealth like no other. I prefer to plan for Prosperity because your energy flows where your attention goes. Plan to be on the winning side of this wealth transfer.
As someone fortunate enough to have reserves to last for many years, I'm not terribly concerned and feel no need to prepare for homelessness in 2025...or 2026...or 2027...or...
@@sthr2110 wise words 👏
LOL! People like you make me laugh. The dollar is no longer the reserve currency. Whatever you have will be devalued overnight when the BRICS currency goes online. No SS, no pensions, no mutual funds or bonds, crashed stock market, hyper-inflation, all goods coming from countries you will be at war with... If you have gold it will be too dangerous to leave you home to sell it and you can't eat it. Gas will be $40 a gallon. No trucking what little food available. "Fortunate enough to have reserves..." LOL. Make sure you reserve a casket...
Prepare for tribulation unless you’re a true believer in Jesus Christ!😊
@@Investormillard amen
Even if I had everything paid off, I still have property taxes, home insurance, utilities, Healthcare insurance, cellphones, car insurance not to mention food and car maintenance and gas. And all that is just getting by with no frills.
It is Intentional; Control Control Control!
@@kenwayne8483 💯 facts
+1 for getting an old Toyota. I purchased a 2004 Corolla 10 years ago. It's a beater but it's never let me down. They might be ugly but you can't beat a mid 2000s car.
You just can't get ahead in a corporate job anymore unless you're in the top 1% of talent.
Nah that’s real. Real talk, you not lying. I’m in the process of this now basically just growing more into manhood and implementing discipline into almost everything that I do that I wish to perfect in anyway. For I know one may never be perfect but I don’t strive for perfectionism, I strive for the perfection within myself. In the end I know I will never be, but I sure can do my best to live up to my highest standards. May God bless you and anyone reading this.
remember its not about perfection but about progression.
@@RedLegPiper Yes sir, very right. Imma make a mental note of that so soon it’ll naturally embed itself into my brain, because you are absolutely right.
Great video. School therapist here. It’s honestly SO FUCKED how our school systems don’t reach the kids Jack shit about money. As you said- that’s what the system wants- for them to make mistakes. Sadly a lot of parents don’t know anything either so the kids never learn and then flounder around in life. It breaks my heart. Whenever my clients bring up money I gently and therapeutically open up a convo about the important of financially planning in terms of basics like making a budget, tracking spending and avoiding debt. Poor kids!
This is actually very similar to how the first Civil War in the 19th century started. Contrary to popular belief, it was not fought over slavery. Slavery was just the justification for it because Lincoln did not want the country to split apart. Every war ever fought is really about economics. In this case, it actually all started because of property taxes.
This all stops when we stop letting politicians and 'experts' convince us to lower our expectations.
It's all about the money at the end of the day!!
My husband & I are mid 50's, and we had to refinance our home 2 years ago, wirh only 3 years keft on the previous mortgage! I fell ill in 2020 and became disabled. Medical bills killed us financially, so we refunanced our home. Looking back now, that was the dumbest thing weve ever done as a couple! We have budgeted for 34 years, our friends would think they were dying if they lived on what we live on! At least we still have a roof over our heads, and transportation, and food. We're so very blessed and thankful for all of God's grace.
The humiliation of the working class in big city America is horrific
Best advice I tell people that are between the age of 18-28. DO NOT HAVE KIDS. Especially if you’re not born into generational wealth or have a secured high paying job. If you’re just some regular schmuck with a job that can be easily replaced. Lookout after yourself, be as minimalist as possible and save $$. We are heading into some dark times ahead and the signs are everywhere.
From $2K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
Wow that's awesome
But I still love my mentor Sophia
I spend like $300 on food a month, car is tremendously old and inherited from parents, rent is $750, and my job where I stand around doing nothing pays $2500 a month. People blame anything but their poor life choices I swear. Don't make car payments, don't get a super nice house, and don't build credit... when you don't even have much money. It's okay to be in debt if you actually HAVE money.
Good thing the army prepared me for this lmfao
Yeah, I can say I can officially sleep anywhere, including roof tops lmao. Can't say that for my kids 😂
