    Now George said he got a 15 yr loan. I did something different. I got a 30 yr loan, but paid on it as if it were a 15 yr loan. The extra was put towards principal only. The reason…I felt like if something financially bad happened to us, like a layoff, I could drop the amount I was paying to the 30 yr payment amount. There would be less of a chance I wouldn’t be able to make our mortgage payment. I feel it’s less risky this way and still got the house paid off quickly.

      Absolutely. Totally agree. In London salaries are out of all proportion to salaries so the 25%/ 15y rule just isn’t possible.

    • @ttech4313
      @ttech4313 Рік тому +6

      Yep. This is what I intend to do. If you can afford the 15 yr payment then yes go for it but take out a 30 yr mortgage so your not stuck with the high payment

      I have done the exact same thing, with the exact same thought process! It has worked as a safety net for myself already, as I went through a divorce and became the only income paying all the bills and mortgage. I reduced my extra principle payment as necessary, but I didn't not have to fear my mortgage bill because it is a 30 year payment amount.

    We thought that we were already keeping our budget locked in, but we have recently revisited it to see what kind of savings we could find. Over the past few months, we changed car insurance providers, renters insurance, phone plans, and cut a music subscription entirely. In total, we have saved $1515 per year just with these little changes!

    Yep, i went back to work at 67 and hubs has a pension, we both collect social security and we amassed 95k this year and we owe 4k so we adjusted out w-4. Because we made too much we pay on social security, which you normally do not pay tax on. Just an adjustment and we are blessed this year, other years have previously been lean. Its ok, just surprises at tax time need to move us in the right direction ❤

    225k, 30-year mortage, on 5.375% interest rate... amortization schedule showed 228k would have been paid in interest alone over the life of the loan. Got it down to pay off in 14 years instead, already saved 163k in interest.

    Always throwing State Farm under the bus. Geico, Allstate, and Progressive are higher 98% of the time. It’s always good to look around and compare, but keep in mind that a lower rate usually means you’re compromising coverage, service, and claims.

    • @kayhutson7577
      @kayhutson7577 Рік тому +1

      We get 3 checks a month. 1st is hubby's SS check, 2nd my SS check and 3rd my IRA check. I make a category for hubby's check and under it list all the bills that come out and amounts. Then another category for my check and list of bills that come out. Then I do IRA category and what comes out of it. Then when I click on the summary, I make sure the Planned amount matches what is in each category. So, let's say 1st check is $600 so I list bills or whatever that needs to be paid up to $600. 2nd check is $1000. list all bills or whatever I can pay out of that up to $1000. 3rd check $600 list all bills and whatever out of it. Hope this helps. I am not good at explaining things. In my case the income is the same every month. As a single parent you may want to do 6 months or more for emergency fund. Since yours is the only income.

    Like the idea of re-evaluating memberships, etc. that you don't use or often enough to be worthwhile, but please be respectful of the contract you signed and to the customer service people when asking for a refund. Not everyone can give refunds and some places have rules regarding when/how you can cancel, or you may have a cancellation fee if you cancel early.

  • @stevenporter863
    @stevenporter863 Рік тому

    Owing even $1 may sound good but paying it is inconvenient, can be overly expensive and exposes you to ID theft. Checks require your social security number written front and center and electric payments are only through third parties who charge a processing fee. Aim to get a refund of a hundred or less and track deductions quarterly against the IRS website.

    I think you are misleading people when it comes to “independent” insurance by not mentioning that really these people often sell products and companies which give them the biggest provision on sale.
    You should mention the fact and not hide it only because it wouldnt fit to your paid promotion campaign.

      Just make what extra payments you can. The whole point is that any extra money will help bring it down faster. May also be easier to add it to the regular payment. My mortgage company offers an option to add additional money towards interest or principal when you make your monthly payment.

    Hi. I have a question. I went thru a divorce several years ago. Gave my paid off home away to the ex, to eliminate my alimony payments, sold everything I could, except my child (lol), and paid off all debt over a period of year and a half. I joined employer match put back 30 percent a year in my retirement but I still owe on my vehicle 16,000. I now struggle with money from the aspect of taking a trip or buying something because I still owe on my truck and I feel guilty and get depressed a little as I don’t feel I’m growing my money fast enough. How do I stop feeling guilty as I’ve made huge progress and have a side hustle as well? I seem to be all over the place mentally with the guilt. ?????

      Bobby I think you are doing amazing, your choice to take responsibility for your child welfare is very commendable. As far as mental health I would advise what I had to do for achieving in elite sport, look at where you are as a whole. Is there any area that needs attention, then look at what is realistic and reasonable to be able to achieve given where you are, sometimes the best way to work this out is to look at other people in a similar situation. Say you find it’s normal to pay $5500 per year off set that as your budget and when you have paid it allow yourself to spend in other areas.
