- In this episode, I show how I use credit cards to get free food and free money simply by paying my bills. Being frugal doesn't mean you shouldn't use your credit. I buy everything with my credit card and then pay the bill in full each month. This simple tactic brings me a steady stream of income from the credit card companies.
Also included in this episode Is a simple recipe for VENISON BURRITOS as well as my weekly Q&A. Enjoy.

Great to see tidly and Frankie this morning...
I have been watching you since you lived in northern NY not far from me. So has my grandson who is 8 now. He purposely waits until the end so we both sing your little ditty together word for word. LOL
Coffee and the boss, thatsa good Sunday morning, yessa
Loved the interaction with Frankie and You at the start of this video, it was wonderful. I'm sure he loved it too.
Yes, I'm a animal lover, I have 2 Doberman Pinschers that mean the world to me and I to them. But please remember that I understand the importance of gathering food where it presents itself. Protein is a vital necessity to the human body, without it we can not function properly. I believe we should also eat the cleanest form of foods possible, and eating something right off the hoof is perfect. Happy hunting, looking forward to seeing that rack. I enjoy your videos, learn so much from them, thanks so much for sharing!
Hey Boss I'd like to thank you for not eating/chewing especially while talking on camera. Might sound like straight up manners but you wouldn't believe the amount of youtubers who eat and talk or salp whilst on camera.
I said to myself as you cut through.... he hasn't done it yet and he won't do it now..... and boy was I happy to be right 👍👍👍
Cheers
A great Sunday morning coffe while attending The Boss’s Backwoods Financial University session. (Haha!) Great advice for all, thanks for another much enjoyed video, JC. Have a great week ahead.
Anyone who has trouble digesting burritos made with flour, you can use Coconut Moringa Wraps. They are delicious and have no flour or other grains in them. They don't taste like coconut. They just taste delicious and help you feel better. Happy snacking.
Solid advice especially in this day of age. I wish they would teach kids in school this stuff. But I guess gender studies is more important than financial security.
Well said.
You are so right about that. Totally agree.
They teach kids to get a credit card to build a credit rateing.
Unfortunately, Michael...the Central Bank and the controller don't want us to be self-sufficient....they like all of us to be in debt, and we are obliging them.
I also love the insurance on products, you purchased, I just moved in a new province and it is just not feasible to ship all your stuff from one province to another. I donated to charity most of my stuff and shipped the rest. Now i spent thousands on furniture and if there is a defective product, I have insurance, plus double the air miles points. Great VIDEO, P.S. I purchase a 1000 sqft home with 67 acres of forest. Have a great day
Wise words about credit cards, Boss! Yes, you do cook retried beans twice. First you cook a pot of pinto beans in boiling water seasoning the to your preference. When they are completely done you mash them with a potato masher, put them in a little oil and fry them. They are better than the ones in the can! Laurie throw something next time he tells about the dishes! lol! 😁. Great video, as always! All the best!
I think he was being facetious on that lol. When you "boil" them first time around, its not really "re"frying them is it 😂... refried actually is just a bastardization of the spanish word "refritos" which means "fried well" 🤤🤯
Hello Boss: Seeing the can of commercially-package refried beans in your video, being the canning maven I cannot let that pass by uncommented upon! So, if you don't mind, this is how I can up Refried Beans for my food pantry. And I'll add that the single most expensive item is the pinto beans, which for me are about $1.00/pound, but if you go to an Amish store you can buy them for WAY cheaper than that! And with that, here's how I do it. (This recipe produces 24+ quarts of refried beans.)
I soak abut 12 to 15 pounds of pinto beans in the refrigerator for two to three days, until they are fully rehydrated. When they're ready to go, I put my two Presto 23-quart pressure canners on the stove, so I can process 12 quarts at one time.
I like a subtle hint of bacon flavor in my refried beans. If you don't want it, then skip this step. But I have a tub of something called "Bacon Base." This is the stuff a commercial kitchen would use to make a bacon-flavored stock.
Because it's concentrated, I take one teaspoon of Bacon Base and dissolve it in one cup of warm water. Set it aside.
1) Into each jar I first put TWO level cups of soaked beans.
2) Next, I add the following:
a) 1/8-cup finely diced white onion
b) 1/4-teaspoon minced garlic
c) one teaspoon, canning/pickling salt (You can substitute whatever you want; the canning salt I always have on hand.)
d) one teaspoon of the bacon base solution (optional if you don't want the hint of bacon flavor)
e) one tablespoon of the melted lard
f) 1/4-teaspoon of Wright's Liquid Smoke. (Wright's is the good stuff. Please don't substitute.)
3) Add a THIRD LEVEL CUP of soaked beans.
4) Controversially, shake the jar to get the beans to settle, and then cover with bean water ONLY TO COVER THE BEANS! Don't overfill with water or you'll get soupy beans!
5) Wipe the rim with a damp cloth, put on a lid and tighten finger-tight.
6) When all 12 quarts are done, put the lids on your pressure canners and process for 90 minutes.
The beans will cook perfectly during the processing time. Take them out and let them seal as they cool down.
This is what they'll look like when done: www.flickr.com/photos/8991102@N07/33023094731/in/dateposted-public/
The beans will expand during their processing time to absorb the water. When you go to serve them, simply empty the jar into a pot, and while heating them mash them with a potato masher. You CANNOT mash them first before processing because of heat penetration issues. The beans MUST be processed whole, as shown.
And for people concerned there's not enough water in the jar, I've been doing this for a number of years, and have had beans in the pantry for up to one year without any problems. But, your mileage may vary so to each their own.
This week I'm putting away 24 quarts of Meatballs in Marinara Sauce, for spaghetti dinners this winter. Then I have 24 servings of White Chili to finish, and then get started on this year's Refried Beans. Next month it'll be Meatloaf, Potatoes, and Mushroom Gravy, Three-Bean Chili, Chicken Veggie Soup, and other good eats.
All the best to you, Lori, Frankie, and Tildy!
excellent idea on the beans. hmmmmmmmmmmm excited to try this
I was thinking of the same thing. Bosses burritos looks great, but canned beans cannot be compared to fresh. I've been blessed to live in an area (NE Ohio) with a large population of Mexicans. Great group of people and excellent food.
JC,The Finches like the thisel seeds ,buy a feeder that the little slotted holes are under their pirch ! They love to eat upside down ,good thing is no other bird eats this way ,only gold finches! Happy birding! Joe
They do indeed but I hate having thistle growing in the yard. I had tons of it growing on my NY property and I wonder if it spread there from my feeder.
@@eleanorkerby I'm also adapting a spanish rice recipe from Chef John to compliment the beans. It's a pint of Spanish Rice Concentrate. You empty it into a pot, rinse the jar out with 1/2-cup of water, then add the rice and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Yum!
The secret is to use onion powder instead of raw onions. That reduces the processing time to only ten minutes, which in turn helps to prevent the spices from being destroyed during an otherwise extended processing time.
And all the best to you and yours, Boss! Thanks for making videos! :)
Received credit card advice from my father 20 hrs ago....After finally paying off my debt I listened..Great video and advice..Hopefully the younger generation will take it...Love your Sunday morning blog...Look forward to it every Sunday..........T.Gunz.........
my sister has done the same thing for decades and flies free all over the world on her "points". She's even flown me with her to California to see our Uncle a few years ago. It's a good thing to learn to do, very profitable for her. She's got top credit all over everywhere.
I bought my pick-up truck with a credit card....... then transferred the balance to a new "
no-interest for 1year" credit card. I kept track of when the interest was going to begin and transferred again to another new credit card. I did this for about 3 years and didn't have to carry Full Coverage insurance on the truck(big savings), saved a bunch because of NO INTEREST charge on card. So the truck was bought / purchased interest free over a 3 year period.That was about 15 years ago and I had bought an old 1979 truck. Now, I use my Costco card to buy EVERYTHING and after the membership fee, I clear about $250 a year in returns. I also pay off all credit card debt every month.... just like you. I LOVE saving money but I also enjoy a splurge every now and then like on a nice restaurant meal or hiking/biking/fishing gear. Thanks for videos.........This one was a very good one........ Ken in Las Vegas, NV.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your Sunday with us. Great tip on the credit cards, much blessings to you, Lori, Frankie and Tildy
Blessings :-))
forgot to say that I sent in my resignation to retire effective last day of work Jan 23. It was not as soon as I would have liked but it is happening and with all the holidays etc it is 30 days of actual work. I am super excited. Dream realizing right in front of my eyes.
Congrats. Enjoy your retirement :-)
@@thebossoftheswamp thanks, gotta tell you, enjoying it as I mark the days already
Again, my favorite Sunday morning show. I am sitting in my RV in sunny Florida drinking a cup of coffee as I watch. Life is good.
Good credit card advise. I too use my credit card for everything I can and always pay in full and never pay interest. It's amazing how fast the points add up toward hundreds of dollars in free merchandise. Basically the credit card company is paying me to use their services. Agree, good backwoods logic no matter where you live.
It's strategy that works.....been doing it for years as well ..........at 2% reward level now....Was at 1% for years....the card company waved fees for the first two years....( $49 per year)....... We use a Disney card..... Just used $1200 Disney dollars for an much deserved family trip this summer.....memories we will have forever...
I also get Cash Back from my credit card. Some of my utilities allow auto credit card payments and I do that. All of my home, auto, boat, motorcycle insurance allows auto credit card payments and I do that also. Then, I have my credit card payment automatically drafted from my checking account so I don't waste a stamp and that keeps me from accidentally missing mailing my payment timely.
That said, I know using a credit cards makes me spend more money than I should, so everyone should use caution. I'm 62 yrs old and I have spent my whole life penny pinching so I would have some money in retirement. That is why I can now go spend a little money and do things I enjoy. I still watch and manage my money. Good Video!
Best fire side ( um , er , Stove side ) chat I ever heard You give !!
MOST that listen to You , learn
( SOME will only HEAR , but , will
NEVER learn ) !!!!
Hey boss just a thought. How about a yearly dvd of ur videos from utube that way “ALL” of ur videos r $$. I know I’m in for them sure everybody else would be tooooo!!!! Great channel it’s the best way to start Sunday off.
Someday I may do that. All the best.
drywallit43, that’s a great idea!
Another great one!!! I’m 25 and have the exact same mindset w money, I mostly use my credit card and ALWAYS pay it off in full. Each year I have enough rewards to pay off all my Christmas gifts for family and friends. Thanks again Boss and god bless. Oh and good puppies!!!!
Well done :-)
I've used credit cards that way for many, many years. I just purchased new windows all around for my house. I had saved the money but I paid with my credit card resulting in a couple of hundred dollars in points. I then paid the credit card bill before the end of the month. Pretty slick and a perfect example of common sense which, as my wife tells me, I appear to be lacking in. ;-)
cool that explains about number 4 video , thanks :) Great card info and tips ! Lori has a BIG heart and you are both lucky to have each other .
Your advice is very, very good. Many young couples need to know this solid advice. So many marriages break up because of money arguments. Excellent wisdom can be taken from you. Thank you.
I use an amazon credit card as well. I buy everything I can on amazon, including a lot of food stuffs, as long as it’s the cheapest option. I pay it off every month and I get 5% back. We also pay no shipping and very rarely pay tax on the amazon purchases. I use a Murphy oil credit card for diesel and gas, I pay it off every month and get 5% back. As well Murphy has the best prices in town. We use credit card to buy local groceries and items, we pay it off every month and get 5% back. I shop at Lowe’s for hardware and lumber and get a 10% veterans discount. We could pay cash for everything but as you say, using the cards and paying them off gets us free money. It’s a no brained.
Love watching your videos. I get great advice, knowledge and entertainment. My wife and I are looking to purchase our slice of the simple county life and I can’t wait to use some of your ideas on my property. Keep it up. I look forward to and enjoy every video.
Just because you don't pay them interest, the CC companies are still making money every time that you use it. It's called "merchant fees", averaging about 1.5%. These fees are passed on to consumers, as a cost of doing business.
Other perks, like cash rewards cards for example, utilize the interest the other people pay to pay for these things.
here sits a wise old owl, brilliant, mick from uk
I have used my credit cards the same way for over 25 years. The burrito recipe was fantastic. I prepared it today and ate 3 of them. Thanks for the great tip.!
Glad you enjoyed :-)
Thank you Boss, credit card advice, well taken. See you next week, take care.
You make your burritos the same way that I do! If I am too busy I use a small cast iron skillet to heat the beans and meat and use a larger skillet to brown the tortillas with, then I just fold the meat in side my hot tortilla and it tastes just the same less time to enjoy my life! Have a blessed day!👍👍🙏
I just ate one haha
Thanks again for the video--love the "Chef Boss" segment. Tildy, too, is really growing and cute as ever as is Frankie,
1 of my best friends is an art dealer and his uses a credit card to buy and ship artwork, he pays the bill off monthly and has a paper record of the art transactions. I like buying and selling things in cash.
That's exactly what my wife and I do - we get a cash reward of 1% of our credit card spending, which pays the annual card fee ten times over. The Boss is right - pay your monthly bill in full and on time. You will be one of the small minority who make money on your card.
I couldn't help laughing at Tildy and Frankie by your feet when you were cooking... just waiting and wishing that you would accidently drop a morsel on the floor!
This video is what they need to teach in schools. I always hate it when I see young people racking up huge credit card debt. We also use the 0% cards and use the banks money. The secret is of course like you said is not to spend more than you can pay off, that is what the bank is hoping for!
24 hours before the next greatest video on Earth...... thanks boss
Have you ever wondered what happened to all the mom and pop full serve gas stations? Well I can give you a clue. They were just trying to make a living doing what they loved doing ,serving their customers. I run a full serve gas station and I'm struggling to keep it open. I can't afford help anymore so I'm working all the hours myself. The margins on gas for the owner are terrible at roughly 5-6% gross. If some one pays with a credit card 3% of that is gone in bank and credit company charges. Please think about that when you pull out your credit card, especially if you want the little man to survive. Thankyou
I will when the little man shows concern over my finances as well. What comes around - goes around.
Awesome man, I’ve always had a hard on against credit cards but I never really looked beyond the basics. This Makes sense. Appreciate it as well as everything else!
My wife and I absolutely love you videos! We will hopefully be back up that way soon! We love you 2 and look forward to meeting you! Our best always! Stay safe and be well!
Sounds great!
Very good advice on the CC. Those burritos looked good 😉
You sound just like my Dad, God rest his good soul, he did the exact same thing and he absolutely relished every perk received, especially when my Mom appreciated him as a genius. Neither myself or my husband have used credit cards for nearly 2 decades now but I will share this video with him, you make an excellent point, strategy is everything.
Lori recently purchased a 650.00 pistol and paid ZERO for it. All rewards cash from paying bills.
OFF GRID HOMESTEADING With The Boss Of The Swamp Thank you, it is very much appreciated.
Ttotally agree on the credit cards. I do that all the time . Good to see you and wish you , Frankie, Lori and Tildy a great week.
You are absolutely right on credit cards. We do the same thing. In fact we have taken two trips to Alaska and paid zero dollars for plane tickets. Saves on buying checks too.
Try your flour tortilla with. spoonful of applebutter, moisten the edge with water fold in half pinching to seal.cook in that skillet. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Great with a cuppa.
You're giving me ideas ;-)
I just applied, and was approved for a credit card after getting rid of the last ones
I had in 2007 the year I went through a divorce... Being accountable with a credit card is so much more doable being single than married YMMV LOL!
Congrats on your luck getting some venison. My favorite season is bow season also. Looking forward to seeing how you make venison breakfast sausage. I really haven't ever found a good recipe I like when it comes to venison breakfast sausage. Maybe your recipe will be the one. Thanks for sharing.
Ha, Texas girl can tell you that yes, they get "fried". You take the pinto beans, mash them up, and in an iron skillet with a small dollop of hog lard as the frying agent (you don't want much just a little) then you put in the bean mash and cook it till it's thickened. Voila refried beans. You also use spices and sometimes peppers etc too, but I was focusing on the true mechanics of the "fry" that a Mexican friend told me was how to make the beans. The griddle method is the "correct" way to seal the burrito too. Sending love from Texas...
Thank you for that :-)
Was just wondering this past week when you were going to do this video, and here it is , people really need to listen to your advice about credit cards, be safe, praying for your up coming surgery , best to you'll from Tennessee !
Thank you kindly :-)
Add some chopped beet and spinach leaves to your burrito. Yummm
Good advice on credit cards. Been doing the same thing for 40 years.
*happy birthday boss you are the best love the borders and the life
Thank you
Good sense video ,Boss,,, I see cooking time is family time,,everyone is present.........Got to say ,intro and out-tro ,with Frankie put a grin on my face......GREAT LIFE !!.................Stay Safe and God Bless........
Thank you and God Bless
Great advice. Very good recipe for venison. Do you make any jerky or snack sticks with your venison ? Good Luck on one of your target deer . Tildy is really growing up, she sure looks like a sweetheart. She’s got a great companion with Frankie. Keep on keeping on and Best of luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.
Haven't bothered making jerky or sticks but may someday.
All the best :-)
Really good advice there Boss ....good stuff as always, have a great Sunday!
This is so funny - in November I discovered I was getting 1% back on cc purchases and moved all my monthly bills to cc which I pay off several times a month. Now in January I'm watching this video. Great video because it's free money and can buy (for my bills) something reasonably expensive at the end of the year - for me, will be tools and supplies.
Bingeing on these videos, they are great, thank you!
Hilarious! I have the same bird clock, for years. Contractors and visitors always look around for the inside birds!
Love this clock :-)
add a little minced onion and an 8 oz can of tomato sauce as you finish frying the meat and you will kick it up a notch
Great video as always Boss. Love seeing you and the pups. Warms my heart. Hope all is well. Love and hugs to you all!!
Thank you my friend :-))
I just love Frankie. He's a once in a lifetime dog.
He is indeed :-)
If the chicken paid for the chicken, which came first the chicken or the dollar?
This is a great video.
Once again, another great video. You are a very knowledgeable person, my wife and I always enjoy listening to what you have to say. You truly know how to live life.
Thank you kindly :-)
It’s amazing- your logic and common sense way of approaching life is such a simpler recipe- one that was very common many years ago in this country...yet your ability to use technology and your artistic ability to edit and provide such top notch content- it’s such a paradox and you make it seem so easy.
I wish UA-cam had not become such a slippery slope for all of you that work so hard to provide such wonderful content.
Also when Mt St. Helens blew up, it only took five days for the ash cloud to get to Vermont!
JC some good advice. Noticed you kept looking over your left shoulder after that dishes comment. Smart man. God Bless have a great week.
God Bless
I loved the Back To My Roots video's, they kept me company one entire night when I needed to have blessings come to me. You were my blessings for the night, I truly do love your videos and I also care for you and Lori the two of you sure do good this person many good moments. It is 3/2/18 and I am still keeping you in my prayers Boss. Love to all and God Bless.
Thank you and God Bless.
I'll start by saying...
I've been following you for years. I really appreciate you videos and your back woods logic...
I may have missed it but I didn't hear anything about how soon to pay off your credit card bills other than at the next billing.
I want to add that most credit cards charge interest from the day you make your purchase up to the day they receive your bill payment. The only way to totally avoid interest is to immediately send a payment for the amount of your purchase. The easiest way I have found, is if your bank has some kind of online bill pay. Just set up your credit card payment with them and if you have a banking phone app you don't even have to wait until you get home to take care of it. That's what I've been doing. I even try to keep a positive balance on my cards as a buffer. Kind of like a bank account.
Like the Boss says... If you're in debt, get out of debt and stay out of debt. Life is so much simpler and less stressful...
You will be able to live with far less income and you'll weather hard times much better.
However, While times are good. Use your excess income to pay down you mortgage if you have one. Or just save so you have several months of living expenses covered as an income buffer.
"The only way to totally avoid interest is to immediately send a payment for the amount of your purchase." If this is how your card works, you should get rid of it. I've been playing the card game for decades. I make my purchases and when the bill comes in, I pay it. In over 20 years I've never paid one single cent in fees of any kind. If I paid my bill late, that would be a different story but I don't. One of my cards has 490.00 worth of free shopping that I can do. I love it :-)
Good advice my friend. When I was single, a credit card was a temporary help when my furnace quit! The card was a pre-approved loan at an interest rate I had agreed to. That said, the quicker to pay it off >> the better! Now I pre-load a card through my bank to buy on Amazon Prime. Just exactly what I had planned to purchase. Anyone tries to mess with my card on-line, there isn't much in that account. I'm glad you are ahead to pay off your cards monthly. It is a good/common sense plan. I just bought chicken on sale and vacuumed sealed it :-). $20.00 will half fill my Tacoma. Love venison. Great video!
Well done my friend. If you shop at Amazon, I hope you'll go through our link. Your shopping experience remains the same and it helps my channel. Just save this link to your bookmarks. Thank you my friend ;-) www.amazon.com/?ie=UTF8&tag=cabinlifejour-20
You always give good advice - IF only everyone lived their life with your philosophy. It doesn't look like you listen to the radio or TV much - but I can tell you that around here, in the city, we get tired of hearing all the ads by shysters/or law firms (like Dewey, Cheatem & Howe) advertising every way to Sunday to get you out of your credit debt. They advertise something like, "don't let anyone tell you that you have to pay off that credit card debt you racked up; NO, we can help you", or same with the back taxes, those critters are out there advertising, "don't let anyone tell you that you have to pay all those back taxes, NO, we can help you" - etc., etc. Makes those of us who pay our bills and pay our taxes sick. But, that being said, there are people out there like you and us who buy what we need and pay off the balance when the statement arrives. Good policy. Small word about all those cash backs: we know two great people who own restaurants. Independents - not chains. They showed us their bank statement at the end of the month, that lists all the customer credit card charges for eating at their restaurant. Now, as an independent (not a chain), they did not give the bank authorization to give the customer a 'cash back' reward. And it isn't the bank that is giving the cash back. No. The bank takes it upon themselves to not only charge a fee to the restaurant owner for the convenience of the owner to allow customers to use their credit card, but there's also a separate charge, percentage, the bank issues to the owner so the bank can then give it to their customer, using said issued credit card. Not fair, but the owner can't do much about it if he wants his customers to continue eating there and allowing them to use their credit cards. It's a kick in the butt, for sure to an independent trying to make a profit. Big retailers and chains - they can afford it. I get that. But the smaller guys - it just hurts their bottom line. I know, I know, I rattled on way too long. We love you. Have a great weekend. Loved the burritos part - you know how to make good, simple food. XOXOXO
When we ran our food business, we didn't take plastic. All businesses have that option.
So true - So true. Here in the city, it's the wonderful world of plastic. Rare to see people pay cash. All the add-on fees the banks impose are chalked up to the cost of doing business. I'm not faulting you for taking advantage of using plastic and getting rewards. I'm at odds with the banks that feel they can call impose additional fees to the business owners. You'd be crazy to not take advantage of it. I totally get it.
Another great video JC. See you next Sunday. Will be deer hunting out at camp. Took a doe yesterday for camp food. God Bless you and crew.
God Bless the camp food ;-)
Oh I agree totally!
Awesome as usual. Thank you for having a wonderful channel and the positive vibes!!!
Thank you for saying so :-)
Going to try browning the burritos. Never thought of that and sure looks good.
About 4 years ago I found a credit card that pays 2% cash back on every purchase. I use it for everything. It has payed for some really nice things that I wouldn’t have bought otherwise.
I’m one of the 3 assholes you mentioned last week.i still like your videos and keep up the good work!
Burritos looked awesome. I add a can of “Rotel” tomatoes and green chili’s to mine for a little extra zing!
One correction - CC companies make a few percent on every purchase, so they do make money from your purchases, even though you pay no interest. But I agree with you. I use CCs too. The consumer protection associated with CCs is amazing. And I get 1% back as well.
Thanks Boss. I love credit cards for cleaning out the groove on the bar of my saw ;-) For your Q&A could you do some more "You Shoulds"? We really enjoy those. All the best with that last deer for the season. Cheers from New Zealand.
Cheers :-)
I use my credit card the same way 👍👍. Best thing you can do. In the last 13-14 years I’ve already collected $2,350 in Sears gift cards. I have over 50k points right now, so that’s another $500. I’d just cash out the points when I needed something. Once, had a $1,000 card and bought a pressure washer, outdoor patio set, and new garage door opener. Everything was on sale, so was $1,053 instead of $1,553. Used my gift card and only paid $53 for $1,553 in products. Had a $750 card I used for a $1,400 television (not including tax), but it was on sale for a Black Friday special, so I ended up paying $68 out of pocket. Savings of over $2,900 right there and that doesn’t include the other $600 in cards I got or the points I still have. If you work those credit cards the right way it really pays off!!
TOP VID.
I love sweetening the pot
New subscriber I have followed the same process for years love the free money
Brother love ur advises....thank you..have not stop watching you..since I found you. A week of two..hope you health gets better..tc..love the dog..
Right on - Been doing this for years.....paid a down payment on a car once....points were bountiful that year...lol! Gotta be careful when you do this large of a purchase cause the bank card company may decide to reduce your limit if the economy is becoming fragile.
Hahahaha Morning Boss: I couldn't help but laugh as there was one lonely thumbs down and I thought to myself - that must be the wife for the washing dishes comment. I know she wouldn't do that but it was a funny thought. Love the vids
I have enjoyed your videos for sometime now. We libe off grid in Northeastern Arizona in the juniper area more old ranch area. Always look forward to your Sunday videos. Dave
Thank you for saying so :-)
Thats underhanded to not pay you for the video, but they still run ads. And they collect money. Guess thats what happens
when you have millions of sellers and only one buyer. What a great position (YT) to be in. Somebody needs to start a
Are Tube.
Agreed.
Boss, We buy EVERTHING with the credit card including food, gasoline, even a used car for the kids. Everything is paid off at the end of the month and our "points" paid for our entire vacation beach rental! FREE MONEY! WOOPEE!
I found that If I never took my credit card with me. If I wanted to buy something I had to go home and get the card and go back to the store. When the kids were little this saved us thousands in the long run.
Getting free groceries saves me thousands :-)
Great video. That was some sound financial advice and some great looking burritos!
Thank you
Same here Boss and like you I pay off the balance every month we never ever have paid interest on anything except our mortgage which we paid off 10 years early. Another good thing about using a credit card you have more recourse to dispute the charge, with a debit card you have less chance of that happening. Plus with our Credit card we have not had to buy a plane ticket in over 15 years except for the 25 dollars nominal fee. God bless Boss and your better half.
Agreed and your purchases are insured too. Lori just got herself a pistol with our rewards cash :-))
You're the Boss of the credit card! Only disadvantage I see to your strategy is that sometimes you have alternatives to paying list, retail with a credit card. Often times, you can get a significant discount for paying cash. Should have asked the body shop what discount they would offer for cash. What's in it for the credit companies when you never pay interest? They are getting you ready for a cashless society....
Back then there was no cash discounts. Things are changing nowadays.
As usual ... Another great start to my Sunday morning.
Love this! The wife and I are currently under a total overhaul on life (mostly expenses), you are a constant reminder that it is possible and we are forever grateful and motivated by you! Happy Sunday my friend! Cheers!
You're on the right path buddy. Life is what we make of it :-)
Always Good ..Don't let anybody change. Who you are ….God Bless !!!!
God Bless
Love your demos.
We love using the cash back also. If just makes good sense to use the free money. The free 28 day loan sure makes things nice. Stretch that dollar out.
Certainly does :-)
Sunday coffee with the boss, great video, the pup is growing fast!!!!!
Great message on the credit cards. I do exactly the same thing. Good to be back,,,,
