6 more years. My goal is 40 and I’ll never step into another semi truck again. Damn I wish I didn’t waste my early twenties but I sure had fun lol. Congratulations you two!
I achieved multi- millionaire status by: 1- going to the gym (stay healthy - cannot be productive if you are always sick) 2- only debt is mortgage 3- buy Toyota (in my case a Prius) and drive it as long as you can 4- invest, invest, 5- stay away from the Jones I don't budget, I spend on food and things that I really need.
What type of investments did you makd? I have heard of Dividends, index funds, crypto-currency, trading, real estate, online or traditional businesses and etc. ... there are so many ways to invest. I think crypto-currency is the future.
After spending years developing(together) wants and needs to get out of debt(mostly student loans). We got out of debt, but that's not the end of the story. We agreed to clamp down and get out of it. Today, my wife now tells me about when people ask her where she got something and she tells them "Walmart", and she loves their reactions. We are both reformed people.
Just reached financial freedom this month, and finally on the road of learning how to invest. Currently in my 20s', but have this mindset of achieving passive income, and developing good financial habits that will hopefully pay off in the future. :) Thank you for this, it's very inspiring!
Exactly how my boyfriend and I are living, and we still in our 20s, below our means and people that is key. One must live as if they broke and poor if you want financial independence. Why you think most millionaires have one pair of everything! cause they wise with they money.
'Lifestyle inflation'! What a key point. I feel that people nowadays love the APPEARANCE OF WEALTH. It's so key not to get caught up in that web. And the importance of Asking Questions! Great video. Brilliant edit!
This couple’s channel should have 1M sub due to the great investment and financial knowledge that they convey, it is sorely, especially within needed within the African American community. Congrats.
I’ve met many people that make 20 thousand a month and they all have something in accounting or finance. If you want to grow I recommend reading books on investing in stocks real estate and bonds and business anything that can grow your wealth overtime and learn how to do taxes and how the banking system works such as loans,credit and many other things I’m 16 right now so I’ve never done it myself but I’ve read countless books on wealth building and what I’ve learned is that if you play the system money should never be a problem
Love how you started with mindset then creating a plan. This is exactly what I teach my clients when I coach them. Mindset is everything when it comes to creating a life you love!!🥰😊

Nice, I really loved these... being confident and figuring out a way, creating a plan, managing your debt/budget, investing, negotiating.... All gems. I never would have thought of using a pallet, tho, lol. Thanks
So much money to be made from a free pallet! :) Another tip - if you don't have tools to work on the pallet, call your local library and see if they have a tool lending section. Our library in Oakland had one and we saved so much money on tools! :)
Great tips on saving👍🏽 Love all of them. Also, meal prep and eating at home not only saves us a ton of money but is also beneficial for our health! Thank you for the awesome video!
So I binge watch all a majority of your videos. I feel like I've have a better understanding about my finances. So much so that. I actually just change so much about my 401k and HSA. That I now feel that I'm on the right path to financial independence. Thank guys. Keep doing what your doing. Ps I just turn 26. I'm soooo glad I'm making the change now. I'm ready for all that compounding interest lol. 2020 shmood!!!
CONGRATULATIONS - so cool that you are gaining a better understanding of your finances!!! AND thank you for binge watching!!! :) Let that compound interest do its work!!! :)
I actually wrote down your idea's on my computer. I agree and am already doing the plan, tracking, the budget and asking questions. Though I need to work on my plan more. I sat down with another millionaire at a Starbucks in China and did exactly what your said. I asked him questions about his process and mindset and wow, he was scary candid and totally real. Thanks for your vids and your book!!!!!
Love, love, LOVE that you are already taking action!!! - Writing things down, working on your plan, talking to millionaires - getting ready for an amazing 2020!!!
These are really simple examples of how normal people can achieve FIRE. I always feel pumped and motivated to achieve my own goals after watching your videos!
"These are really simple examples of how normal people can achieve FIRE" Too true. Even if one doesn't achieve FIRE just think about how far ahead you will be when it comes time to have a traditional retirement.
You guys made such a great point about lifestyle inflation! You guys always make me inspired to keep pushing! I’m avoiding debt by saving up the money I need to pay my tuition for grad school ❤️
YES! - So glad you're inspired to keep pushing!!! We have a video on getting college tuition paid for in full (or drastically reduced). You can check it out on our video page! :)
This is amazing! Hubby and I have a 5 year strategy to become millionaires and we're well on our way! Started a channel to share our journey new subbie!!
Could you please make a video about finding a life partner who is financially responsible. Warren Buffett said it was the most important decision. You guys are in sync. Perfect couple.
Your channel has been a huge inspiration to me. 💛 I just outlined my 2020 goals, including side hustles and savings goals. Thanks for the amazing content, I'm always so excited when y'all post a new video. 🙏🏽
I just found your channel and I have to agree with everything you said. We will be retiring in 6 years. We are debt free, a couple of things we are doing addition to what you guys spoke on was we are both doing our 9-5 and have 7 addition sources of income coming in, residual income is key. Much love to you both! 🙌🏼❤️
Great video! I assume you talked about avoiding ‘bad debt’ instead of debt in any form. When you choose to use debt as leverage on an investment it’s a good thing, right? What are your thoughts on that?
Yes - avoid BAD debt!!! We used our first Bay Area real estate investment as leverage for our next rental property and then the one after that! :) You can check it out on our video page! :)
I love your videos and your story! We are late bloomers (seeking FI in our mid 40s). It amazing how different the FI mindset is to my natural bent. Your videos are helping shape a new mindset! Thanks!
Sir, Love from India!! We, Indians have habits of savings in built in our gene ! We believe in "Save first and then spend" unlike others "Spend first then save"
Happy New Year! One of the things I’m grateful for in 2019 is coming across your channel. Thanks for continuing to inspire and encourage us to be financially savvy and work towards earlier retirement and independence. Your many ideas and info, have certainly helped many. I know this because, my improved financial situation is in part because of the many ideas from your videos and so I thank you very much and wish you and yours, good health, continuous prosperity and joy in the new year. Regards.
Wow - thank you for your kind comment! I LOVE that you are improving your financial situation - CONGRATULATIONS!!! AND I LOVE that you're inspired and feeling encouraged - 2020 will be an amazing year!!!
@@MsPerfume25 Yes, we work together. Because if we never helped each other out, we would've never got anywhere. He always thanks me for buying his first bike for work. To me, it was a no brainer, but without that, he could've never helped me pay off that debt. We constantly motivate one another to stay strong & know that it will all be worth it in the end. To survive in this world you need money, unfortunately, so there's no escaping the fact that debts need to be paid off first. After years of not taking a holiday, I can't help but be proud of our achievement. It's funny, but we even lied about going on holiday at one point, in fear of our jobs!
@@MsPerfume25 11.5 yrs since graduating. But I'm lucky my student debt was not as much as some other people! I'm glad for the experience, but the course itself was not worth it in my opinion. We had to learn most things on our own & I learnt more from being on the job.. I'm just lucky my husband didn't go to uni!
best thing i did this year financially ? finding this channel side note: tried getting your budgeting spreadsheet from your website, but didn't get it.
Best thing?! - So awesome!!! :) About the budget, try requesting it again. Sometimes if you enter your email wrong, the link goes to the wrong email. If it still doesn't work, send us an email and we can just send it to you! :)
Oh man! I look up to you both as inspiration! I’m JUST STARTING my financial journey and I’m hoping to use these habits and maybe in 10 years I can be where u both are!!!
Eyes Wide Open they put time and effort into this video and revenue and algorithms go off video play time. By you posting this it is effectively stopping their videos showing up on the home page, it’s quite understandable why they did it to be honest.
Senshudan - there are benefits to renting. it’s not always “throwing money away” like people say it is. for example, you avoid debt being a renter and you’re never really on the hook for most repairs. and you’re not tied to one place for 15+ years.
Thank you so much for sharing! Did you two have a high yearly income at any point of this journey? Beginning?middle? In order to reach your financial independence at y’all age?
I think this is the most important video I have watched from UA-cam. You too are so inspiring to me.. I literary got up from my bed at 3am to take notes. I needed to see this and it’s not an accident I somehow come across your videos. I am a definitely joining the club 🙏🏽🙏🏽
One of the challenge as one pursue the journey to financial Independent, is as your wealth grows how to maintain the balance of giving or not, to does less fortunate, especially close family and friends.
So glad to hear that! We were constantly side hustling to increase our income - we've got lots of side hustle videos that you can check out on our channel! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe! :)
Great advice. I love the topic and more importantly the enthusiasm you both. Many of my clients have embraced these habits and thought processes. AWESOME!
Thank you Christina and Amon for another inspiring video, you guys always seem to surprise me with yet a few more examples of creating money making opportunities, very motivating! I’ve been recommending your channel to all my nephews and nieces who are just starting out in the job market. Keep it up guys! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Love your videos! I've learned so much and am on my way to financial independence. Automated investing has changed the game. Started 3 years ago when I was 25 and haven't been able to contribute as much as I'd like but time is in NY side and an contributing more now as my income increases :) Audio was a little soft in this video. Don't want to miss anything!
desire less and you will spend less. if you make a million and spend a million, you made no money at all. you just bought junk because most stuff is just that - junk in the home.
Thank you Amon and Christina for your valuable content. Really appreciate your videos and the inspiration you put out. Happy New Year and all the best for a successful 2020!
I love see you guys’ smiles and the interaction between each other. Such an intelligent and lovely couple. Thanks so much for continuing to make videos that benefit others ♥️
Thank you guys for sharing your experiences. Would really like to see a video on how to get started in stocks as a COMPLETE beginner - and I mean COMPLETE beginner. How much do you need/recommend as a bare minimum? Which platforms to use? Brokerage accounts etc. Would be super helpful if you guys made a step by step explainer for us!
I love this video. Great great great advice. That's what I love about the FIRE community--all of these tips and tricks will improve anyone's money situation even if they can't feasibly FIRE.
I love that you are talking about habits. Success is not a one-off action or a lucky break. It’s like the quote, “show me your habits and I’ll show you your future.” (I don’t know who originally said it. 😆)
You guys are so inspiring! I love the teamwork that goes between the two of you as partners, and as husband and wife. What you two have is so rare nowadays! Much love!
Habits are HUGE!!! Brian Tracy has one of the best books on habits. "Bad habits are easy to form but hard to live with. Good habits are hard to form but AWESOME to love with!"
Feeling so motivated for this new year! We currently save/invest 53% of our income every month(one income family!). I am constantly looking for ways to increase that. We live in the middle of nowhere, which sure helps cut down costs! :)
Love, love, LOVE that you are feeling motivated AND that you are saving 53% of your income (from a one income family)!!! We LOVE to hear these things!!!
True golden nuggets: 1. Negotiate everything... good idea! 2. Creative value & monetize! & some common sense advice, which folks just don't put into action: Basically, be a conscious consumer (good for both you & for the environment) to live below your means & automate investing your savings!
You guys are awesome. We are probably 8 years from fire. I saw your clip on the today show and so many people are so quick to make excuses because they don't want to put in the work and sacrifice. Then they said you had this big break or stumbled into the sums of money is how you got there. People don't want to accept you make a lot of your own opportunities. Thanks for the good information.
Hey thanks for all the wisdom you two provide us. With that said, I'm 23 and I have 100k in the bank and i wanna start dividend investing. Can you or someone tell me what they would do if they were 23 and had 100k? All advice is appreciated. Thank you. I love you. And have a happy and prosperous new year!
"If you like this video, make sure you give us a thumbs up", way ahead of you. These are all great tips (and they really made me think), so I already smashed that like button, believe you me.
You guys are so kind to teach us this info because alot of us have never had the chance to learn or be around this info or people that are money stable
I always struggle with living below my means! That’s something I’m working on this year because I definitely want to leave something for my babies! Great tips!
Hi Faith, next time you want to make a purchase ask yourself this question ' do I need this or do I want this? If you need it buy it, if you want it dont buy it.
Hhmmm, 'finding your way to yes,' really hit home; especially since I recently have thought with mounting problems it maybe pointless to keep pursuing my passions and business plans. Have successfully become debt free, therefore my hurdles are probably more emotionally and spiritually centered around self limiting thoughts which has triggered some sloppy self care habits that are draining my energy. Maybe worth my while before I toss in the towel, to explore how to pursue and implement healthier 'Find My Way To Yes' (FMWTY) habits and attitudes. Thanks for sharing your building wealth tips, wishing you and all of us who have watched your video success in our respective personal and business endeavors to be better than we were yesterday.
I love the tips and the video but there is this question I always ask myself when I see videos like this one: Why do you want more money if you don't want to spend it?
How did you avoid debt yet bought houses using mortgages? Or is it that you are referring to consumer debt only like car loans or credit card use for day to day things ? In short, do you exclude mortgages when you talk about debt ?

Hi Miranda! Definitely agree - teamwork is so crucial!
Family! This will instill lifelong confidence and habits into your children and their children.
@youngonce - Yes! BUilding up the next generation! :)
Yes very!
Yep! I read the book "the millionaire nextdoor", the author was saying that couple whose stay together are more likely to be millionaires.
6 more years. My goal is 40 and I’ll never step into another semi truck again. Damn I wish I didn’t waste my early twenties but I sure had fun lol. Congratulations you two!
I achieved multi- millionaire status by:
1- going to the gym (stay healthy - cannot be productive if you are always sick)
2- only debt is mortgage
3- buy Toyota (in my case a Prius) and drive it as long as you can
4- invest, invest,
5- stay away from the Jones
I don't budget, I spend on food and things that I really need.
LOVE your list!!! Like your #3, we bought an $800 used mini-van!!! :)
What type of investments did you makd? I have heard of Dividends, index funds, crypto-currency, trading, real estate, online or traditional businesses and etc. ... there are so many ways to invest. I think crypto-currency is the future.

You are too kind! Thank you so much Renee!!!
Nothing wrong with inheriting it, I did and just want to keep building on it
I have a question. Do they pay for Healthcare?
This woman is worth her weight in gold. You just don’t understand how difficult FIRE is with a partner that doesn’t think the same way.
Aww, you are too kind! Thank you so much!
Oh its easy! Use loa trust me!!! Hes a reflection of u remember that

Best thing?! - So awesome!!! :) About the budget, try requesting it again. Sometimes if you enter your email wrong, the link goes to the wrong email. If it still doesn't work, send us an email and we can just send it to you! :)
I felt your guys are very generous. I also want to be millionaire next day. Thank you for adding so much value to my family.
That is such a kind comment. Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that we're adding value to your family! :)
Oh man! I look up to you both as inspiration! I’m JUST STARTING my financial journey and I’m hoping to use these habits and maybe in 10 years I can be where u both are!!!
Yes - positive mindset!!! You WILL be here!!! :)
We live like this and most people think we are poor. Lol But we’re not.
Haha! Stealth wealth! LOL!
Eyes Wide Open they put time and effort into this video and revenue and algorithms go off video play time. By you posting this it is effectively stopping their videos showing up on the home page, it’s quite understandable why they did it to be honest.
Did you read the "millionaire next door?" It sounds like you meet the description :)
Are you "The Millionaire Next Door" ?
I hope me and my partner will learn to do this but sad things im the only one willing to change
You mentioned that you rent still. Can you explain why you are doing that instead of buying your own place? What are the benefits long term?? Thanks!
Thanks for watching. We're going to be doing a video on rent v. buy in the future.
I was scratching my head about the same thing.
@Esther Innocent Real Estate is an investment, and usually a good one. Rent is money down the drain. If you can buy for cash, that's not a loser.
Senshudan - there are benefits to renting. it’s not always “throwing money away” like people say it is. for example, you avoid debt being a renter and you’re never really on the hook for most repairs. and you’re not tied to one place for 15+ years.
There's 1 thing about being debt-free & another thing about retiring early. I'm curious about how you have budgeted for this while still renting.
Thank you so much for sharing! Did you two have a high yearly income at any point of this journey? Beginning?middle? In order to reach your financial independence at y’all age?
I think this is the most important video I have watched from UA-cam. You too are so inspiring to me.. I literary got up from my bed at 3am to take notes. I needed to see this and it’s not an accident I somehow come across your videos. I am a definitely joining the club 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow! That is so cool! Thank you so much for your kind comment! :) Now, time to get some sleep! :) Hehe!
One of the challenge as one pursue the journey to financial Independent, is as your wealth grows how to maintain the balance of giving or not, to does less fortunate, especially close family and friends.
The two most intelligent people on UA-cam. I just had to say that.
Well, I just LOVE that you just had to say that! Hehe! Too kind!!! :)
This is a very helpful video. It'll be great if things like this were shown and talked about in schools.
You guys are wonderful. I'm practicing quite a few of these principles. The one thing I'm working on now is my income.
So glad to hear that! We were constantly side hustling to increase our income - we've got lots of side hustle videos that you can check out on our channel! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe! :)
So. What does saving 70% of your income mean? Does that include 529 plans, investments into IRAs, and whole life insurance?
Great advice. I love the topic and more importantly the enthusiasm you both. Many of my clients have embraced these habits and thought processes. AWESOME!
Thank you for sharing. I struggle with adhd & sticking to things. Your channel has been vital to me changing my life for the better.
Thank you Christina and Amon for another inspiring video, you guys always seem to surprise me with yet a few more examples of creating money making opportunities, very motivating! I’ve been recommending your channel to all my nephews and nieces who are just starting out in the job market. Keep it up guys! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow!!!! Thank you so much for watching AND for recommending our channel!!! :)
Love your videos! I've learned so much and am on my way to financial independence. Automated investing has changed the game. Started 3 years ago when I was 25 and haven't been able to contribute as much as I'd like but time is in NY side and an contributing more now as my income increases :)
Audio was a little soft in this video. Don't want to miss anything!
Amanda - YES!LOVE that you're automating your investments AND that you started doing that at 22!!!! Such great moves!
desire less and you will spend less. if you make a million and spend a million, you made no money at all. you just bought junk because most stuff is just that - junk in the home.
Desire less and spend less - right on! :)
Soooo true!!!!
Best comment!
Thank you Amon and Christina for your valuable content. Really appreciate your videos and the inspiration you put out. Happy New Year and all the best for a successful 2020!
Thank you! Happy New Year and a successful 2020 to you, too!
Very inspirational! Thanks for sharing your strategies with all of us! :)
Aww, thanks for watching!
The missing item in your LIST is the fact that BOTH of you are bought into the LIST. Not an easy thing to do in most relationships.
I love see you guys’ smiles and the interaction between each other. Such an intelligent and lovely couple. Thanks so much for continuing to make videos that benefit others ♥️
Thank you!!! So glad you're enjoying the videos!!!
I'm re-watching the video because I want you all to get even richer! Keep up the good work.
Haha! You're the best!!! :)
Thank you guys for sharing your experiences. Would really like to see a video on how to get started in stocks as a COMPLETE beginner - and I mean COMPLETE beginner. How much do you need/recommend as a bare minimum? Which platforms to use? Brokerage accounts etc. Would be super helpful if you guys made a step by step explainer for us!
Great idea - thanks for the recommendation!!!
Our Rich Journey I look forward to it❤️
I love this video. Great great great advice. That's what I love about the FIRE community--all of these tips and tricks will improve anyone's money situation even if they can't feasibly FIRE.
Thank you! And I love your point - the habits can help even if someone doesn't reach FIRE!
Love this video! We’re currently on our journey as a couple! We just shared a video on how we budget for vacations as a couple ✨
Thank you for constantly supplying us with great content. Great channel to subscribe to 🙏🏿
You are too kind! Thank you so much Omar!!!
They are gems!
@
Travis Williams - Thank you!
I love that you are talking about habits. Success is not a one-off action or a lucky break. It’s like the quote, “show me your habits and I’ll show you your future.” (I don’t know who originally said it. 😆)
You guys are so inspiring! I love the teamwork that goes between the two of you as partners, and as husband and wife. What you two have is so rare nowadays! Much love!
Aww, thank you Elena - you are so kind!!!
Habits are HUGE!!! Brian Tracy has one of the best books on habits. "Bad habits are easy to form but hard to live with. Good habits are hard to form but AWESOME to love with!"
Feeling so motivated for this new year! We currently save/invest 53% of our income every month(one income family!). I am constantly looking for ways to increase that. We live in the middle of nowhere, which sure helps cut down costs! :)
Love, love, LOVE that you are feeling motivated AND that you are saving 53% of your income (from a one income family)!!! We LOVE to hear these things!!!
Love your channel. Inspiring! I'm on my way passed stage 5...Keep it up and Happy New Year to you!
CONGRATULATIONS in passing stage 5! Happy New Year!
True golden nuggets: 1. Negotiate everything... good idea! 2. Creative value & monetize!
& some common sense advice, which folks just don't put into action: Basically, be a conscious consumer (good for both you & for the environment) to live below your means & automate investing your savings!
Another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!!
Great video as always guys makes me me motivated to achieve financial freedom 😁
Thank you - so happy that you're feeling motivated to achieve financial freedom!!!
This is great! I'm happy for you guys and loved seeing pictures of your beautiful family! Thanks for the advice!
Thank you!!!
Thank you both for being leaders.
Thank you for joining us on our journey!
#2 is the most important to me right now. Having a plan is so important. I'm 28 right now and my goal is to do exactly what you have done.
LOVE the goal and love, love, love that you are already starting at 28!!! :)
Love this, bless to you all and your families, bless!!!!!!! Bless!!!!! Bless!!!!!!
Thank you so much for sending the love our way!!!
When you achieve this type of financial freedom then you are really free!!!!!
You guys are awesome. We are probably 8 years from fire. I saw your clip on the today show and so many people are so quick to make excuses because they don't want to put in the work and sacrifice. Then they said you had this big break or stumbled into the sums of money is how you got there. People don't want to accept you make a lot of your own opportunities. Thanks for the good information.
You are soooo right! - People can make their own opportunities! LOVE that you wrote that! :)
I wish I had this kind of knowledge when I was young...I grew up in a large family and money was never talked about, we never had any.
*Great habits often leads to great results* 💪🌚
YES, YES, YES - so true!!!
Totally love your tips! I will definitely start putting them into action in my life!!
New habits for 2020! Thank you!!! :)
Hey thanks for all the wisdom you two provide us. With that said, I'm 23 and I have 100k in the bank and i wanna start dividend investing. Can you or someone tell me what they would do if they were 23 and had 100k? All advice is appreciated. Thank you. I love you. And have a happy and prosperous new year!
Btw I'm in zero debt, no gf, and I'm pretty frugal.
Happy 2020!!! I don't think there enough information to provide a recommendation. :(
This was great y’all! Thanks!!!✊🏾🦉💯
Thank you so much! :)
"If you like this video, make sure you give us a thumbs up", way ahead of you. These are all great tips (and they really made me think), so I already smashed that like button, believe you me.
That is soooo cool! Thanks for the thumbs up!!! AND thanks for watching all the way to the end of the video - UA-cam likes that! Hehe! :)
You two are the best! Thanks for the consistent wisdom.
You are too sweet! Thanks for watching Dannie!
You guys are so kind to teach us this info because alot of us have never had the chance to learn or be around this info or people that are money stable
Y’all are the best! I love the tips 🙏🏻
Yaaaaayyyy! Thank you so much Violet! So happy you like the tips! :)
I always struggle with living below my means! That’s something I’m working on this year because I definitely want to leave something for my babies! Great tips!
Hi Faith, next time you want to make a purchase ask yourself this question ' do I need this or do I want this? If you need it buy it, if you want it dont buy it.
Just found your channel...thank you so much!
What inspiration!
Love you both! So inspiring! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
You are so kind! Thank you for commenting and watching our videos! :)
I love you guys and am happy for you and your beautiful family !
Thank you! That is so kind! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe! :)
Hhmmm, 'finding your way to yes,' really hit home; especially since I recently have thought with mounting problems it maybe pointless to keep pursuing my passions and business plans. Have successfully become debt free, therefore my hurdles are probably more emotionally and spiritually centered around self limiting thoughts which has triggered some sloppy self care habits that are draining my energy. Maybe worth my while before I toss in the towel, to explore how to pursue and implement healthier 'Find My Way To Yes' (FMWTY) habits and attitudes. Thanks for sharing your building wealth tips, wishing you and all of us who have watched your video success in our respective personal and business endeavors to be better than we were yesterday.
You guys are AMAZING! This video came my way right when I needed it. Thank you for your advice! 🙏🏻
I love the tips and the video but there is this question I always ask myself when I see videos like this one: Why do you want more money if you don't want to spend it?
Do you use the app that rounds up and invests your change? I think it's called Acorn??? What ways do you automatically invest? Great video.
We don't use Acorn. We set up our brokerage accounts so that we were automatically investing money into them!
How did you avoid debt yet bought houses using mortgages? Or is it that you are referring to consumer debt only like car loans or credit card use for day to day things ?
In short, do you exclude mortgages when you talk about debt ?
Thank you
Pay Yourself First. This is so important in the whole scheme of things. Very nicely put. Thanks for all the videos that you guys put up...
