    I don't like to put money in the bank
    They will call you everyday at least 3 times a day, just ask you to put in saving or whatever they have for 5% interest.
    I recently bought 2 houses for investment and making pretty good money.
    I do not buy a car more than 3.5k, currently no car.

    I spend a lot less money than others but planning/investing a lot.
    Just for future...
    wish can retire before 40

    We basically live off my income. My wife saves most of her money. I have 2 houses 3 car pymts and 2 children and a 300K house. And I still spend as I want I have every toy you can think of. For the future I have a huge saving account, its call inheritance.


    If you make $100000 a year and have a $300000 house and two kids you're broke lol



    All i can say is SPEND wisely, and save as much as you can. U never know what tommorow holds for you! Prime example I work for my mom but i run the office she never works. 2 days ago we got in ahuge fight and i quit. After getting home i regret it,but i was fine knowing we had enough too carry us for a few years, so that took alot of stress off my back.
    Needless to say she hiried me back, but u never know what will happen tommorow. YOu want too atleast have 1 years of income saved at all times!!

    Save for your future...You have NO idea where you will be in 30 yrs or where the economy will be...I would hope these past couple years would have taught people a lesson SAVE SAVE SAVE....you can always spend it later...for that car you want or house payment if you lose your job you just NEVER know...

    PM me if you want more advice..
