Find out about networking events that are going on in your area and then work yourselves into various groups to connect with people who are in good financial positions.

@Buy PSP Go, It’s great that you’ve cut up the credit cards, and done away with the credit cards. Hopefully you really do keep that other credit card as a true emergency only CC. Anyways, I’ve always never been a big fan of credit cards, and I always advise people to stay away from them, hehe.

Till then,

Jean

I am currently a finance major at a University, which will remain nameless for privacy reasons, anyways, personally I’ve always felt that basic finance should be thought in High School. I bet there would be alot more richer people if everyone had been thought how to manage their money properly in high school. I think alot of people make mistakes with credit, that they would of otherwise likely not made if they had learned about how it all works in High School.

Till then,

Jean

One of the best things I ever did was cut up all but one of my credit cards and now have one credit and one debit card. The credit card is left at home (securely of course). This means that I only ever spend what I have but that in the event of an emergency I do have a credit card to help me out.

True. If you can make more money with debt, then take it.

$2000 a week is a lot. That’s more than the average American makes.

In my hometown there was a bum who was asked how much money he made a week by the paper. His reply was 2,000$ then they took a picture of him with a sign that read, “why get a job when I can sling a sign for 2,000 a week.” Go figure!

It’s exciting to hear millionaire stories from rags to riches. I never befriended a millionaire before. I can imagine learning the things they did to get where they are is priceless. Nice post! The truth is even a bum can make millions if desired to do it. Oh yeah, is the story true about a bum that collected over a million dollars worth of coins, but the government took it all? I hear this story from people have you heard of this? If that really happened that is so screwed up.

Sometimes unexpected things happen, such as losing your job. Even if you were spending below your means, you can have problems when you lose your job.

people go into debt through deficit spending. A deficit occurs when spending exceeds income at any given time. An accumulated deficit become a debt, and a debt is a financial obligation or liability to pay. To avoid deficit spending, spend below your means.

Living of debt is a terrible thing. Imagine this scenario – you’ll limit your spendings for the next couple months but afterwards you’ll have no debt, you’ll be able to spend every penny you make instead of giving half of it to banks and credit card companies.

Yes but like John Chow says its difference between good and bad debt.. I would suggest you reading a book from R. Kiyosaki, rich dad poor dad. Mind blowing book if you didn’t already read it..

I love the picture in this post. It made me laugh. I’ve heard stories of people pretending to be homeless and making more money panhandling than they did working their regular jobs. It’s people like this that make very reluctant to give out money when asked.

Yea, the cost of living can be high. In areas like New York City where you may not need a car, the cost of living is even higher. No matter what, you don’t win.

True. Humor works wonders. I think it gets down our defenses and makes us “like” them. Ahhh the power of liking and entertainment. lol. Bums always have some good jokes or good stories.
