In today’s video we discuss the money myth, I don’t make enough to save! What’s your thoughts? Any ideas? We can be our own worst enemy sometimes, we talk ourselves out of things before we even begin, saving is one of those things that many people talk themselves out of doing. One of the reasons for this is, “I don’t make enough to save” which is the opinion held by lots of people in a variety of income brackets, but how much do you need to save? The truth should surprise you and make you question whether the thoughts you tell yourself about money are true or is it your mind playing tricks on you again. So what do you reckon? Share your thoughts and ideas.

In today’s video we discuss the money myth, you need money to make money! What’s your thoughts? Any ideas? If you are embarking on a journey to achieving financial independence, financial freedom and freedom abundance. Then be prepared to invest money into yourself at the very least, this even before you invest money into external things. You’ll need to invest money into your education at the very least, in order to gather the knowledge to ever achieve anything. Even a book on a subject which you are interested in, will require a small amount of money to purchase it or borrow it. But that’s alright, because whatever you invest into yourself will be greatly multiplied once you apply what you learn. So don’t be disheartened by this remark, “it takes money to make money,” because even a little bit of money goes a long way. So what do you reckon? Share your thoughts and ideas.

In today’s video we discuss the money myth, I’m too old to save! What’s your thoughts? Any ideas? For many elderly people, the thought of saving money now that they’ve reached the later part of their life, is laughable to them. They seem to believe that they've now reached the end of the road and can’t see any point in starting something substantial now. But in reality, there is still a great possibility that they have a large number of years left to live, especially as life expectancy have risen over the years. Therefore, taking good care of their finances from now will result in them having a more financially successful old age, with less of a struggle, less reliance on state pensions, retirement income or continuing to work a job. Which is unfortunately the case for many elderly people. So what do you reckon? Share your thoughts and ideas.

In today’s video we discuss the money myth, I’m too young to save! What’s your thoughts? Any ideas? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but as the saying goes “when your young, your dumb” it’s a common thought held by most of the older generations. Everybody who no longer considers themselves young anymore, can fondly remember the days when they were young and most likely careless with their money, spending it on clothes, games, cinema tickets, holidays, their first car and the list goes on. With little to no regard for saving a penny! But what if we didn’t follow this path, but instead had chosen to save and invest from a young age, what would our life look like today, would our current financial success be better than it is? So what do you reckon? Share your thoughts and ideas.

In today’s video we discuss the money myth, renting is just flushing your money down the drain! What’s your thoughts? Any ideas? The issue here is this, whether you are renting or own a home, both are essentially liabilities and take money out of your pocket either way. But when you rent first, instead of buying to live in first, you have the unique opportunity to save up a deposit for an investment property from the beginning, which means you’ll become a landlord and start generating more money for yourself, which is the aim of the game here! Get your money right first people! So what do you reckon? Share your thoughts and ideas.

In today’s video we answer the money question, what are the smartest things we spend too little money on? What’s your thoughts? Any ideas? Whilst it’s very easy to make a dumb purchase, on the other hand a smart purchase feels alot more alien to us and requires alot more effort on our part. Unless we consciously think about making a smart purchase to better our lives, we’ll almost always default to making a dumb purchase. But the more smart purchases we make in our lives, then the better our lives will become, the better our finances will become and the closer we will get to achieving our financial dreams.
