How to Save Money on Budget on Low Income | Minimum Wage

I started when I was making 60 dollars a week, and now, because of this budget, I’m almost making 10k a month and spend less than 5% of my income on my expenses, how to save money and create a budget.

Now in this video, I’m going to teach you a secret budget that allows you to save money and also have fun at the same time. So you can still buy that Car you want or even all the Starbucks coffee also. All while saving money and investing. So Make sure you stick around to the end of the video, to find out how can you can do all this stuff with an easy budget.

Why Do I Budget:
People say budget restrict you but not having a budget made my life 10x harder. I got into a credit card, I couldn’t afford even to take my girlfriend on a date and I didn’t have a penny in investments. But I did have a closet filled with around 5k-9.7k in sneakers and clothing.

How it works:
Life has around 6 categories, so I created a budget that uses all does categories to bring you a perfect balance.

First Steps?
1. Once I realize I had a problem ( I started reading books)
2. I started saving but I wasn’t investing
3. I created a budget by using everything learned from all does books? I call it the “Simple Budget”

Final Thoughts: Notice this
If you made it this far, here's what happened
- The moment I realize that everything I bought was with time, was the moment I change my attitude towards money.
- Example: I remember working for 8.40 cents an hour and spending my money on cloths, but then I said, Is this sneaker worth the 30 hours it took me to make the money. And more the often the answer was no.
- I started when I was earning $60 a week and had around a negative income. Theirs no excuse.
