I don’t deserve the right things I deserve the wrong things I deserve a bad future because my present doesn’t really exist and there’s no consequences at all forever in any area Of life. Yay I got a lot to unpack

I was raised poor and spent my early adult life obsessively holding onto my money and was constantly on the lookout for what I can “score”. I only ever spent money on essentials - and they were the cheapest essentials I could source. I was stingey, I was first in line if something free was being given away, and always compared “my share” with those around me. It was a poverty mindset and I hated it. It consumed me. I decided to change it and started going out of my way to be generous … I donated to causes; I shouted friends coffee; I found ways to give anonymously to people around me. I am a changed person. Being generous comes naturally to me now. I finally feel free from the torment. I know it goes against what we are taught about money but I actually manage my finances better all round now and have more savings than I’ve ever had

I have a similar upbringing and early life. Truth be told, I am appreciative of the ability to save, because it has allowed me to have more than others at my same income level, but now, I have learnt to relax and I am working on learning to spend more. I have a modest life and I am satisfied with it. I am now learning how to be more generous, but I am also appreciative of the skill I learnt in saving.

I started removing money every paycheck to a separate account. It was scary at first, but then I realized that I absolutely can live on my budget

Everyone should have you as their accountant!! This makes sense.

I love how every example was an immediate lifechanging epiphany

It's something that sounds pretty simplistic and trivial, but it does make a huge importance in our lives. I think the hardest part is to check everything to watch over youself, and, mainly, to assume that you might be mistaken about your choices.

Tracking and charting expenses helps us reflect about ourselves is the learning from this ted. Thankyou Man !

We loved hosting Robert for this session! Well done!

Oooh excellent! :-) I like the way you addressed and presented the topic. Short, clear, kind and insightful. I knew all this, yet this specific video, I believe, actually activated the seed for doing better. Thank you Sir!

I hope to one day have an office just like this one where I can work in silence. Such tranquility

I started doing this a few months ago and it's painful sometimes, you're almost in denial of the numbers staring back at you. You can lie to yourself but the numbers certainly don't! It's also important to not write anything off or not include it because you think it was a rare occurance or too insignificant.

Thanks for the insight. I admit that I'm very much emotionally attached to some of my expenses and since being a fresh graduate comes with loads of other necessities to fill the expectation gap, so that also increases spending. I believe figuring out a robust method of earning and building passive income could help in a financially stable lifestyle.

One doesn't own emotion, and when one is owned by emotion, it's a reflection of one's belief that one owns them🎈

Awesome talk Robert A Belle!

Impulse purchases😹💔 I felt very attacked

Such an informative Ted. Thank you!

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! THANK YOUU!!!!

Can I just say this blew my mind and is so underrated. I never realized our relationship with money is a reflection of our relationships with people too 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Valuable insights. Thanks for sharing your experience.

That is an great perspective on spending habits. That really clicked in.

Very enlightening and well presented, thank you! Be well 🌹

Well said. Thank you, Robert.

So true. My younger self was not confident and yes I spent so much money on clothes, bags and anything externally to fill my inner holes. Later (and older) I did something with my life to gain my confidence. Fast forward my spending habits have changed in a better way.

Wow really good ted talk. Thank You.

I can finally say somebody I know has done a Ted Talk. Proud of you Robert. 🤗

Wow what a revelation. Thank you for this wonderful information.

Good stuff. Love your fiancial advice

Money doesn’t cause money problems! Best thing I learned at an early age.

This is an incredible talk! I discovered it just in time for Tax season.

Love this video

Bringing our spending into perspective, illuminates those critical areas that needs curbing. Therefore, creating a balance and a healthy outlook overall.

you're amazing

Good infomation.

Liked and am watching!

Great. Thanks.

Our money know us well then we know ourself 👌👌👌

thanks bless you mister

I have never thought about this before Respect bro!

Looked at the videos title and said " Well, here we go, this should be enlightening.

The principles talked about in this video are reliable soon after they are employed. For example after only 5 minutes of watching this video now I know why I am so addicted to coffee. It is because whenever I was out with my mom for coffee with her friends it was then I felt most safe.

Great!

Thank god KZread does not show the list of folks liking & disliking a video. Like for example - I'd report these 13 nuts to the authorities citing mental imbalance & threat to society .. hehe .. Thank you so very much for this talk actually. Nothing less than an eye opener for cartoons like me. Take care.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿❤️🙏🏿Thank you🙏🏿

I thought about my expenses one more time. I also had impulsive spending. So, as I said in the video, I will categorize the cost.

Thank you! This makes sense…I will have to analysis my own spending habits!

Can someone suggest good app to track the expenses...!!!

I prefer to use Google Sheets because of the customization ability it allows. However on the downside, it can take a bit of effort to set it up and if you're looking to make a comprehensive tracker, it would also require some above average understanding of formulas to program the tracker.

1) Pay yourself first. Set aside a certain amount every month for savings first, and spend the rest. 2) Your partner is very important in your financial health. Before I met my wife, I thought I was financial literate enough. But I was wrong. I spent money unnecessarily. She was the money conscious one and she helped me saved even more than when I was alone.

If you feel you didn’t accomplish much today but you still got through the day, know that someone out there is proud of you for that (me) because some days, that in itself is an accomplishment. You can do this. You will make it through and see things getting better.

Tracking expenses, affects how you spend. So it never works for me, I just spend less when I know I’m watching myself. So I don’t get useful data.
