  • Great post! It’s great that you recommend to think long term. It’s often so hard to think long term when all you see is what’s in front of you.

  • Great recommendations, especially sticking to a budget. This is super hard for me but like you said, it is about thinking in our future

  • Very helpful tips. It can be difficult to stick to a budget, but such an important thing to do. Thanks for sharing!

  • I find it is far easier to set a lower lifestyle (buy cheaper car or smaller house) than it is to nickle and dime my way to saving that much.

  • Emergency funds are critical. No matter how well you plan, there are always things that happen in life which you have no control over. Best to be prepared in advance.

    • Hi Gary, True, no matter how much anyone is earning, it is important to set a side some money for the rainy day.

  • I think if more people understood how compound interest works, it would really help them visualize how important investing first is. Every time I'm tempted to blow off investing, I remind myself I'm literally throwing away free money from interest.

    • Hi Mel, thanks for visiting. I totally agree with you. Investing is all about putting some money away to get some free money in terms of interest on top of it in return. The earlier you realize the importance of keeping some cash away inform of investments the better you are in taking care of the future.

    • Hi Michele, True! These are simple money tips especially to young people just starting on their personal finance journey.
