Hm.
What rack is that? For the gym
Water is not free!!
Smart thermostat is a tip I hadn't thought about. Skipping energy drinks is the one that adds up fastest, it's easily a few dollars a day.
I know you did not just say water is free. Where are you getting your water from where I am from water is two dollars.
u dont like Tea🍵
We where forced out at 18 or earlier and we all adapt and overcome everything but if you have a good job you should enjoy yourself
Love learning more frugal ways!
Trying to cut down on monthly expenses doesn't mean giving up movie nights 😂🎬 If you're looking for ways to save on entertainment, BingBloom is worth checking out. You can watch and download movies and series for free! 💸🍿
Water is not free lol
that tugjt bro
Good tips. The home gym one is real — I canceled my $40/month membership and bought a used set of dumbbells for $60. Paid for itself in two months, and I never wait for equipment anymore.
disagree, caffeine is key to be stimulated and make money. Saving the $6 per day on caffeine doesn't matter if you just make just $500 extra per month
Costco will save you for sure. Cooking your own meals will save you. Eating out can add up quickly. And meal prep is important too.
Thanks Sam
Smart man you’ll retire young
$400k saved by eating oats and drinking warer? Sound like my grandpa
I do all of that but I still eat out once a week! Gotta get my pizza fix and it’s a nice treat.
This doesnt do anything if youre working class tbh.
I'm dumbfounded at Americans acting like drinking water instead of coffee/soda is a contrarian thing
To those looking to invest also, It’s not hard to collect strategies, but applying them consistently is where I struggle. I’ve tested a few different methods without much consistency in results, so I’m curious if anyone has experience learning directly from a mentor who emphasizes the process instead of just prerecorded lessons.
Frugal habits work best when the savings actually get invested. Cut the small leaks, automate the transfer and keep growing your income too. 💙
Wait until you get a girlfriend. She will clean you out 😂
Theon???
Water is cheaper not free. I pay a water bill every month.
Drinking water, but I saw some cans in the fridge
How do you afford a (house with) garage?
I cook 99% of my meals, I drives a 21 years old car, I filter my water, I own my house and I have my own gym, save every penny, so much fun saving money
i have not seen any of his other YT vids but what i want to know is how he saved 394grande in his twenties? I barley have over 100,000 in my fifties lol!
Smart young man. Good job.
There’s a pattern I’ve noticed: the wealthiest people I’ve met don’t own what they control. And they don’t explain how. But one night, at a private dinner, a guy casually referenced The Silent Laws of Cash Power. I thought it was fiction. When I finally found it and read it, everything changed. It explained why so many people chase wealth endlessly and still lose it all- because they’re playing in the wrong arena. That book doesn’t show you how to make money. It shows you how to make money irrelevant to your identity.
I’ve been in boardrooms where millions were discussed casually. You know what no one talked about? Income. It was all about position, visibility, and control. One guy finally broke it down and told me to read The Silent Laws of Cash Power. He said, “Everything else teaches you how to work for money. This one shows you how to erase your footprints.”
A mentor once told me, “The people who print the rules never play by them.” I didn’t get it until he followed up with, “Go read The Silent Laws of Cash Power- then we’ll talk.” That book was like discovering the invisible chessboard behind the one we all think we’re playing on. It’s not about hacks. It’s about seeing where you’ve been blind.
I found The Silent Laws of Cash Power in a weird way- mentioned in a Reddit thread that got deleted a few hours later. No hype, no funnel, no reviews. Just raw ideas that flipped my thinking on money completely. It doesn’t give you steps. It gives you truths. Stuff that explains why some people break through with less effort, and why others grind forever with nothing to show. It’s not motivational. It’s liberating.
The real freedom begins when your name no longer connects to the assets you control- when your liabilities can’t find you. That’s what The Silent Laws of Cash Power taught me. It’s not a book about finance. It’s a book about removal. Removing risk. Removing traceability. Removing the assumption that you need to be visible to be powerful. It’s like a manual for the shadows- and I’ve never moved the same since.
Water is not free........ where is it free?
❤
Ground breaking information ..
$11 for a meal, that's a dream
The smart thermostat just to get $25/year….just omit this from your list…what a bad example…
Budgeting boils down to simply keeping tabs of money coming in aka income, and money going out aka expenses. The difference allows you to have an emergency fund, while eventually giving you the opportunity to invest those unspent dollars that will eventually create wealth. When a fool like me can do this, with your intelligence and determination, you will be successful.
Very smart, mature and wise.
Us bro us
keep in mind, you gotta spend money to make money
like the home gym thing? pricey but long term it pays off
can't take your money with you when you die need to enjoy yourself sometimes
I think we missed a few steps
