There is that sort of TV show about Money in Canada called: “Money Morons”.
I’m a graduating college senior in my 20s and I’ve never heard of saving
for retirement in my 20s. The only financial principal I’ve ever lived by
was “do not get any credit card debts” achieved by not getting a credit
card. After hearing this talk, I wonder what else i’m missing. I wish they
did teach all of this in high school.

Do you think you can arrange a meeting with the leaders of the U.S.
Congress and get them to think about budget management when it comes to the
debt ceiling?

Just a lot of bullshit !!!!
Money? Like the millions of dollars you earn in Need for Speed or Grand
Theft Auto?

This is really a big subject! Isn’t this money scenario similar to
being overweight and suffering from obesity? Don’t we all overeat? Too many
take-away foods (preparing at home, will only cost half) but that’s too
hard or tiring , then there lots of cooking shows, lots of EXTRA specials
at the supermarket with items that we really don’t need, but buy anyway?
So the message is EAT…EAT…EAT… until you drop (with serious health
problems). With money isn’t it about SPEND…SPEND….SPEND, enjoy
today…..who thinks about tomorrow anyway? Buy today, pay back in three
or more year’s time. Until we all become overweight with debt! Obese
with debt? With serious money problems (like divorce, bankruptcy, poor
credit rating, living day to day with no surplus). Therefore….. PLAN,
BUDGET…BUDGET…BUDGET…spoil yourself a little and have only ONE and ONLY
one credit card.
debt slavery – it’s part of the plan. the financial and corporate elite
will make sure it never changes. It will require a socio-political
revolution. You can understand and follow the best practices of personal
finance to a tee and still end up a bankrupt debt slave. Most of it is luck
and timing and the vast majority aren’t so lucky.
There is also Financial Aid !
great insight, I wish I would have heard this when I was 20.
I kept waiting for the part where she was going to tell us how to do all
that she talked about doing.. Did I miss that part? Or do I need to go buy
her video to find out?
Why on earth would our government educate the youth about finances when
they makes billions of dollars off of putting them their??
At 5:38, after the employer 41k match program, what does she mention? (I
can’t understand what she’s saying.)
You are so right Alexa! Our fellow Americans, myself included, have gotten
away from saving 20% or more. Our poor habits are reinforced because
everyone else is spending and even our governement does not have a balanced
budget! Starting in 2014 my wife and I agreed that there will be a spending
freeze on all nonessential items!
