keep up the good work, if you can get past the status life style it's your 1st step to freedom.

I have my 6 month emergency fund, and what I call a miscellaneous fund, this fund covers things like AC unit replacement, new roof, etc without dipping into the emergency fund. It's an emergency fund for the emergency fund. I budget for Christmas gifts, vacations, etc throughout the year and never need to take in debt. I live well below my means, my mortgage is about 10% of my income. Tomorrow i will be leaving for a 10 day cruise that I spent $14k on, not a single cent of it borrowed, all paid in cash. I am normally way too cheap to take a vacation, its been over a decade but I'm finally taking one and decided to splurge.

Honestly, just get educated. If you get super lucky and somehow get high paying job, maybe financial advice would be relevant. But in thay case you can just apply general financial advice. But really, just get educated and don't take loan if you can avoid it with something like part time job. Overall, personally I think you should just have fun and not worry about this stuff. I mean if you go trough normal higher education route, you are still in your early to mid twenties when you graduate. And while many grifters on internet claim higher education is not necessary, on average, people with good education are *much* in much better situation financially.

Most of these people with big businesses were either already well connected/from rich family, or they were in school, did business at side and it flourished so they dropped out. Or one of the more common ways is that you graduate, get experience and then start your own business. So yeah, if you want to become rich, entrepreneur route is what you want to do. But that's even more reason to go to school. Often schools also have a lot of resources for entrepreneur endeavours, and you get connections. Not to mention it's about hedging your bets, even if your business doesn't work out, you still have degree that pays well, and you could even use that higher paying job to support your business.

@@ayushvarshney357 Even if we take these very exceptional cases, most if them were in school, but dropped about because their business became lucrative opportunity. Most people that have successful business are graduates, school gives you resources, education and connections. Often schools have very good support structures for entrepreneurs, and access to networking events etc. It also works as both support and safety net for you, as you will have something to fall back on, or maybe you can use your good paying job to support your business till it becomes feasible to focus on it full time. Ultimately, there just isn't a reason to not go to school, especially if you want to become an entrepreneur. It gives you connections, education, degree and resources/help to pursue business. And furthermore most people establish their business after gaining experience in the industry, which means you need degree to get good job. I'm not saying this is absolute but just looking at the overall situation, people that have gone to school have a massive advantage in every way.

Thanks Nisha. Your 8-step process is a much better process than others I've seen around. And you dropped the video nice and early for us to implement in February.

I break my payday into 3 steps. 1. Savings 2. Bills/debts 3. Leftover Soon as I get paid, I save 1k minimum, I pay my bills and then whatever is left after that is fair game. It is definitely important to figure out how much your living expenses are and that will determine how much you’re able to save safely to ensure you have enough to cover your bills and living until next pay as well as building your savings. I’m able to save a minimum of 1k every payday because I have a very low maintenance lifestyle. Edit: I don’t make a lot of money either. I choose to live under my means and very minimalistic so I can build my savings. Some people don’t understand that you have to make lifestyle sacrifices until you’re in a position where you can live a bit more extravagantly.

Thank you so much Nischa. I’ve subscribed and watched several of your videos, there’s so much to learn! I took your advice regarding putting 10% of my monthly pay aside for savings. Great videos, thank you.

OMG, not only do you have the most beautiful eyebrows I've ever seen, you're so, so, so helpful and real. Thanks!

These steps make so much sense to me, I've always deprioritized the employer match and literally everyone screamed at me for it. I'm going to follow the rest of your steps these month! Subscribed! 🎊

Hi Nischa. You may have covered this in another video, but would be interested in knowing what percentage (without revealing the money) of your income you make from each of your streams to see how feasible it might be leaving a high paying job and then replacing with multiple streams.

Thank you Nischa!

Just stumbled across this video on the home page. I've been doing this manually for years. I'm a fan of the waterfall method, my few cards are all around the same interest rate, and I use a spreadsheet for that; I don't know why I didn't think to do the same for income and itemize bills on one! 🤦🏾‍♀ That said, seeing this was well-timed for me. Thank you for making this video!

How am I just finding your channel? Oh my god love your videos ❤

Your videos are amazing, i just found you now! I started budgeting after covid, i lost my income, ive been in complete shock! Since then im budgeting, calculating my income for a year, month…i know my liabilities bills/credit cards…and im just so glad that without any prior knowledge my checklist has a lot of common points with what you are talking about. Schools should teach how to be mindful about money, we would all have a better future a chance for a better life…im around 10 years late😢

As a budding tax accountant (currently in my master’s year), I love this! I actually did a weird version of this to calculate a suggested budget for when I move to my job after graduation where I calculated my estimated taxes to figure out my after tax funds I’d probably have so then u could figure out what money I have to work with for rent, food, savings, etc. It’s so helpful and I’m excited to refine it as I know better what my spending habits are!

I like this video. I learn quite a lot. Thanks Nischa

Great video, I really enjoy your presentation style and how accessible you make the information you present. Here in Australia, low-interest credit cards are rare and most issuers market high interest rates credit products to consumers with shiny extras like reward points, travel insurance, etc. Most of these come with 45-60 day no-interest periods and then afterward a high interest rate of 18-24% kicks in. I would really like to see more educational content on the risks of growing debt and how people might benefit from rethinking these kinds of products and how the benefits often don’t justify the risks and associated costs. Perhaps some content on restructuring debt could benefit this audience too, I am curious about credit transfers? I also hear many people describe their approach of leveraging the credit card to maximise their points by putting money off their day to day loving expenses on the credit card V and then paying it off before the interest-free window closes but this also sounds risky to me as a lot of credit card offers seem to be higher amounts than most people’s monthly income…

@MsJsmith99

It's called managing risk. It is risky if you don't have the funds to cover the payments but I assume people are sensible enough to have the funds to pay it off before the interest-free period ends. If not, they need a course on managing their finances.
