If you want to buy luxury things, meaning things that you don’t need,

Yo Jaspreet I need these new $200 shoes No

remember my rule of 5. If you can’t buy 5 of them, you can’t afford one of them. If you want to buy a $100 pair of shoes and you don’t have $500 saved up, you can’t afford it.

What’s the point of doing this? It forces you to live below your means. It forces you to save for something bigger, something to invest it, something that will make you more money. Make the sacrifice now so you can live bigger tomorrow.

And listen, just because a sales person says you qualify for something more expensive doesn’t mean you can afford it. I briefly was a real estate sales agent for people who wanted to buy and sell their homes. We were paid based on the value of the home, the more the home costs the more we get paid.

The same worked with banks, bank loan officers are often paid based on the value of the loan. Now although the bank officer and the real estate agent have to look out for your best interest, they aren’t doing anything illegal by approving you for the highest amount possible. So it’s in the bank officers best interest to get you the biggest loan as possible so they get the biggest paycheck. And it is in the real estate salesperson’s best interest to sell you the most expensive home so they get a big check.

These people don’t have to deal with the consequences If you end up buying something that’s a little too expensive for you. You have to be the one in charge and know what your budget is. Don’t rely on sales people because their interest isn’t always the same as yours.

And its not just houses and mortgages. Payment plans are becoming more popular for everyday items. Appliances, furniture, electronics, even our cell phones. I’ve said this before but it is nearly impossible to build wealth when you are constantly making payments to pay off things that you can’t afford.

This year, Forbes reported that 63% of Americans, 63% don’t have enough funds saved up to cover a $500 emergency. Don’t be the majority. Put in the work and the sacrifice now so you can live better tomorrow.

If your goal is to build wealth, you have to start living below your means. If you can’t buy 5 of them, you can’t afford one them. I know it’s hard, but you will set yourself up to stand out from the majority. #ThinkMinority #MIH #Budgeting
