    What Is The Minority Mindset?
    The Minority Mindset has nothing to do with the way you look or what kind of family you're from. It's a mindset.
    Give the majority $200 and they will come back with a pair of shoes. Give the minority $200 they will come back with $2,000.
    Think from the mindset of a consumer and be the provider, that's the Minority Mindset. Don't be the majority. #MIH #ThinkMinority

Linked my bank account and turned on auto pay on both credit cards. Wash, rinse, repeat. Both cards have activity each month. And with auto pay I dont have to worry about paying on time or missing any payments. My credit score skyrocketed! 👍

The bad thing was that my card was cancelled and the replacement card did not arrive until after I left for a trip three days later. I had to use cash for the trip and nearly didn't get checked into my hotel as the card was no longer valid. Luckily the hotel finally let me pay cash. Either was it was a lot of extra stress to deal with.

      Yes and that's the problem. People who can do that are better off using their self-control in other areas of their lives than ensuring that they don't overspend because of plastic.
      This is a bit like paying off your debts starting with the highest rate and working on them until you get to the lowest rate and pay it off. On paper it seems smart. In practice, people rarely have the self-discipline needed to finish it. This is the same thing, it's unnecessary use of self-discipline that could be used for other purposes that have more than a 1-2% payoff.

    Agreed! This is also why I have always had a credit card and it also helps build credit. Another plus is that if you have 2 credit cards with different due dates, you can pay them off full each month because you can pay online and on exact due date or one day before. I once had a payment go late because I scheduled it for the due date but it just didn't go through. Now I do it for the day before due date.

    Ask yourself a question and be honest. Are you disciplined with when it comes to spending? If the answer is no, then stay clear of credit cards. But if the answer is yes, then applying for a cash back credit card is a great way to bring in a little extra doe every month.

      "Ask yourself a question and be honest. Are you disciplined with when it comes to spending? If the answer is no, then stay clear of credit cards."
      I think it is better to say "then stay clear of credit". Bad financial habits do not need a card. Example: the student loans in USA.

      Basically if your IQ is high and you make a good income, having a credit card can be beneficial. But if you’re low intelligence or poor, or both, then you should not get a credit card except for only the purpose of building credit to buy a house

    I've watched a couple of your videos now. I think what you're sharing here are smart, common sense, ways to be a better steward of the income you have. Thanks for doing this.
    One of the big problems I see people having, in terms of not being disciplined about spending, is that their income is really insufficient to meet their needs. Or at least what they think are their needs. Starbucks, as sweet as they are, is not a need. I think the biggest contributor to this common problem is that here in the U.S. needs versus wants education is virtually nonexistent in compulsory school years(k-12). Money management should be stressed just as much as reading, writing, and arithmetic. But alas, with the possible aside of high school elective home economics, this just isn't done.
    The honest truth is, there are a ton of people out there who don't even realize that they are in financial trouble. "Well, Okay... so how do I know if I'm in financial trouble if so many people can't figure this out for themselves?" As it turns out there is an easy way to do this. But it will take a tiny bit of effort on your part. Starting at the first of the month, just record every penny you spend. You can do this in a simple paper notebook, on your tablet, or smartphone. You really don't need to itemize every item, but do record the total spent at each shop, or bill you pay during the month. Next add up all of your income. It doesn't matter the source just make sure to record it. If after the month is over and your total spending is less than your total income then good. You are at least not hemorrhaging money every month.
    If however your spending more than your making... well I'm sorry to break it to you but your already in financial trouble. So what to do? First off like the man said. "I grew up in an indian household. I know cheap!" Great line by the way. If your in financial trouble already then the first priority is to honestly assess what your needs versus what your wants are in terms of what your spending. For instance, your address. It can feel wonderful to lease a home in a nice safe neighborhood with great schools and wonderful neighbors you love. But if you can't also pay your bills without incurring more debt then perhaps it's time to consider what your can do to lower this expense. Cable television, the latest IPhone, 1 Gigabit internet, are examples of wants. We don't need these things. Needs are stuff like nourishing food, a basic wardrobe for a week, clean water to drink. Basically a need is anything that allows you to stay alive(food/water), stay healthy(medical care/sleep/etc), and have a little bit of fun. Stuff beyond this are strictly speaking luxuries. If you find yourself saying "Oh, I couldn't life without that!" Feel free to say it. But understand that when you do, are you being literal, such as clean water, or is it just hyperbole?
    Anyways Minority Mindset, thanks again for doing this channel. We need more of this kind of content distributed world wide. And sorry for the wall of text. Sometimes I get going and just don't know when to stop. A lot like those credit card binges! Ciao for now brother.

    I can relate. I have paid off my mortgage (in 2000), a boat loan, a jetski loan numerous car loans and home equity loans over the years, always well ahead of time. You know what I got for doing what I thought was the right thing ? When I recently applied for a car loan, I was told that I have NO credit rating and had to get my wife to cosign. We don't have a credit card, because we learned years ago how dangerous and expensive that could be. Now, I'm told I should get a credit card and use it regularly to re-establish a credit rating. This system is bullshit, but I'll have to play the game.

      Kylo Ren & Stimpy he exaggerated. But yeah, the thing is it leaves your account the moment it was used. So if you needed the money for bills, you might have to pay some late fees while you get your shit refunded. Credit on the other hand, is the banks liability, so it's in their best interest to fix it

They will dispute it and get my money back. I also had a problem with another vendor a while back and Paypal got my money back.

      I had fraud on my debit card, and even though the bank returned my money, it was a pain. It was around $600. If it was on a credit card, no big deal, because I don't need my credit card to pay rent. $600 was easily half my rent, but if I didn't have a savings, I would have been SOL. I didn't get my money back until about a week later.

    Like you I use credit cards strictly too. I realized that in order to have credit diversity and be eligible to have competitive intrest rates for home loans I needed to increase my credit limit. Its only been two and a half years I started my credit card journey but I have became more in control f my finances for the simple fact that I do not want to pay high intrest on these credit cards. The purchase protection, return and warranty extensions these credit cards have are some many reasons why I always prefer using credits cards over debit cards. Then Once you are more comfortable in managing your finances, you can start credit card churning and get great rewards. Amazing content Jaspreet!
