  • HAPPY NEW YEAR! It is time we get these finances in order. I was in the rabbit hole for quite sometime. In debt for YEARS, robbing Peter to pay Paul as my mom would say. Today I'm talking all about what shifted my mindset and what I did to become DEBT FREE. As a #firsttimemom being financially free feels so rewarding. Being able to give my daughter a better start than I had means the world to me. Are you on your #debtfree journey or are you already debt free? Let me know in the comments below!
    As always, I'd appreciate nothing but #postivevibesonly

    It took me 5 years to pay off 40,000 ,on a fixed income, but now my credit score is 842, because I never was late or missed a payment

      That’s great! A credit score is only good if you are trying to get into debt. Save and pay cash… no need for a great credit score

    Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.

      Wall Street pitched so-called quality stocks with high profitability and low debt, as a kind of insurance against whatever the economy might throw at you. Quality stocks have underperformed the S&P500 this year, My $200k portfolio is down by approximately 20 %, any recommendations to scale up my returns on investment

      Nobody knows anything You need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, through thick or thin While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.

      Exactly why i enjoy market decisions being guided by a pro , seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk management and market experience , been using a portfolio-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over $3million in that time frame.

    • @carolpaige2
      @carolpaige2 8 місяців тому +3

      The adviser I'm in touch with is Natalie Lynn Fisk, she works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else. for me her strategy works hence my result she provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing. I like that quote as well at the start of all he podcasts. Debt is dumb, cash is king, and the paid off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice”.
    Looking forward to a debt free scream in the future!

    I appreciate the knowledge you've provided, There’s this woman I got in touch with during the last economic recession which cost me my job. Ms. Norman Davis helped me manage my assets by introducing my to the best trading method, I earned a lot of $$$ working with Norman at the comfort of my home. I still keep in touch with the amazing lady

    • @roseanni

      Hi there, I’m commenting from Switzerland . Interesting to know she connects with people from different parts of the world. Such an ambitious woman. I got in touch with Ms. Davis early this year. As a newbie in the market, I had little knowledge on predicting the stock market, but with Ms. Norman weekly analysis and advise profits are guaranteed! I received three times my initial deposit in a week!!

I heard about forex a little while ago and was really interested and wanted to get into for the longest but I never had someone who could help. Can I get her contact? I need her assistance

    Key to paying off debt is never using it!!

      Yes, I did lots of small gigs from Lyft to Uber to online consulting for small businesses and some virtual assistant gigs.

      @maeghanjones  5 місяців тому +2

      HI! Yes love him. Yes I did various side hustles. Admin work, contracting work, selling old items of mine, door dash, uber and then finally jumpstarted my career in real estate and that helped big time.

    Everyone always say start small pay off small bills save a 1000.00 but how in the hell do you start if I save an emergency fund when do I start paying my bills

    • @MickeyDiamonique
      @MickeyDiamonique Рік тому +2

      The point is to save while making minimum payments on everything. If you don’t have enough to save then you need to find a side hustle or part time job to supplement.

    • @nomaam5891
      @nomaam5891 7 місяців тому

      Simultaneously. Write it out and figure out how much you can put towards each task. If you have high cc debt, I would make that a priority and put whatever you have left or can spare towards the emergency fund. You can always adjust
