    Love your videos and seeing your budgeting template! I'm trying to spend less on "wants" this year and save more. I'm also hoping to start investing and would love a video on how you invest/ purchase stocks (if that's something you do). A monthly update/progress video on reaching your savings goal for the year would be great too!

    • @stephandden
      @stephandden  5 років тому +2

    I have to admit to feeling really down about not being able to save much this last year, I thought that because I was earning very little I wouldn't be able to save something like $25k, but I've just done a loose budget and I might actually be able to save somewhere close to that amount! Thank you for being so open and sharing your breakdown of your budget. It's helping me to save more :)

    • @stephandden

Will you guys make a video on credit cards? Would love to know what your recommendations are!

      ​@@stephandden quite possibly cards(preferably $0 or low annual fees) that provide the best rewards in terms of cash back or travel points? There are tons of US financial channels out there on youtube and I think Canadian millennial can really benefit from this type of content as well :^)

    • @stephandden
      @stephandden  4 роки тому +1

      Hey Mohit! Exactly - I'm focusing on saving money that I can use to invest in a down payment (potentially to use as an investment as opposed to for myself at this stage). My investing to saving ratio will definitely grow over time. 😊
