- 1:00Speaker 3: Budgeting.
- 1:00Speaker 4: I think it's budgeting is extremely underrated when it comes
- 1:03Speaker 4: to financial planning for individuals. I always say, like, if
- 1:05Speaker 4: you look at a corporation, budgeting is like the major
- 1:09Speaker 4: thing that they do like you. I mean, like Apple
- 1:11Speaker 4: knows every dollar that comes in and comes out, Like
- 1:13Speaker 4: they pay accountants millions of dollars. They have a whole
- 1:16Speaker 4: team of accountant to keep track of the books. And
- 1:19Speaker 4: budgeting is like that's everything. Budgeting is everything. But it's
- 1:21Speaker 4: like most entrepreneurs and most regular people that just have
- 1:25Speaker 4: jobs have no idea of the budget, Like they don't
- 1:28Speaker 4: have any idea of how much money comes in, they
- 1:29Speaker 4: have no idea of how much money goes out. They're
- 1:31Speaker 4: just wringing it and just you know, spending money whenever
- 1:35Speaker 4: you know they need to, and the money comes in
- 1:38Speaker 4: and it just goes to their bank. And that's kind
- 1:39Speaker 4: of like how most people run not only their business
- 1:42Speaker 4: but their life. So budgeting, budgeting one oh one right
- 1:45Speaker 4: for somebody that has never budgeted before, but they first
- 1:49Speaker 4: and foremost why why is budgeting essential? And then we'll
- 1:53Speaker 4: go into like some different hacks that can help people
- 1:55Speaker 4: to get better with budgeting.
- 1:58Speaker 5: So budgeting is a sense of because it is a
- 2:01Speaker 5: physical picture of what your money is doing. Right, So
- 2:05Speaker 5: if you have kids and you're in the other room
- 2:08Speaker 5: and your two year old is quiet, You're like, wait,
- 2:11Speaker 5: what the hell are they breaking because you know they're
- 2:13Speaker 5: cutting up, putting a you know, putting a knife enough
- 2:16Speaker 5: in the socket whatever, you know. And so it's the
- 2:18Speaker 5: same thing with your money. Like you you have to
- 2:21Speaker 5: be on top of your money. I would say, like
- 2:22Speaker 5: your money is like a bad two year old, Like,
- 2:24Speaker 5: if you leave it to its own devices, it's gonna
- 2:26Speaker 5: be breaking shit that I can curse. Yeah, right, So
- 2:31Speaker 5: you want to be on it when it comes to
- 2:33Speaker 5: your money and be present. You are the adult. You
- 2:37Speaker 5: decide what your money does. And so that's what a
- 2:38Speaker 5: budget allows you to do. And it allows you to
- 2:41Speaker 5: be the adult of you of your life. And so
- 2:44Speaker 5: it's important. You know, I don't care how much money
- 2:46Speaker 5: you make, you can outspend like great wealth. There are
- 2:49Speaker 5: people who have been millionaires and even billionaires and have
- 2:53Speaker 5: been less penniless. So I think sometimes people think, like, well,
- 2:56Speaker 5: if I had ten million dollars, was like mc hammer
- 3:00Speaker 5: from somebody, You're like, who's that? Okay, Tody Braxton, right,
- 3:03Speaker 5: Alan Iverson. So many people have outspent their wealth. It
- 3:08Speaker 5: is more than possible.
- 3:10Speaker 4: So what kind of all right, so what are the
- 3:12Speaker 4: different strategies for budgeting?
- 3:14Speaker 5: Right?
- 3:14Speaker 4: Like it's someone okay, I realize the budgeting is important.
- 3:16Speaker 4: I want to do it. So how do I go
- 3:17Speaker 4: about it? Is it spreadsheet software? Like is there formulas
- 3:22Speaker 4: that you should use? Because some people say, like your
- 3:24Speaker 4: housing should only be like twenty or thirty percent of
- 3:26Speaker 4: your total budget. So yeah, what's your what's your philosophy?
- 3:30Speaker 4: As far as like the one on one, the person
- 3:32Speaker 4: realizes they need to budget now they actually want to
- 3:34Speaker 4: start a budget.
- 3:35Speaker 5: So let's just start super super easy, because I mean, yes,
- 3:38Speaker 5: I use this spride seat all that stuff, but most
- 3:39Speaker 5: people are not going to do that to start. It's
- 3:41Speaker 5: the difference between I want to lose some weight and
- 3:43Speaker 5: so tomorrow, like you're gonna run you know, ten miles,
- 3:46Speaker 5: You're not gonna run ten mouse. You might the first day,
- 3:48Speaker 5: and the second day you're going to go back to
- 3:49Speaker 5: the couch. So I want you to start off walking.
- 3:53Speaker 5: So for someone who's like I don't budget, I never
- 3:55Speaker 5: took to a budget. First things first is start with
- 3:59Speaker 5: having separate bank accounts, right, So I believe in having
- 4:03Speaker 5: a bill's account to pay your bills and having a
- 4:07Speaker 5: spend account to spend from your bills account. Should not
- 4:10Speaker 5: have a debit card attached to it that's a debit
- 4:12Speaker 5: card is a choice. I don't think people realize that
- 4:14Speaker 5: the bank issues you a debit card. But you could
- 4:16Speaker 5: be like, nah, I'm good. So my bill's account does
- 4:18Speaker 5: not have a debit card. My spend account, it's both.
- 4:21Speaker 5: These are checking accounts that the same bank has a
- 4:23Speaker 5: debit card. And then you want to least one savings
- 4:25Speaker 5: account not at that bank. So you want to at
- 4:28Speaker 5: least one safets account at an online only bank. And
- 4:30Speaker 5: so what it looks like is that your money comes in.
- 4:34Speaker 5: Some of it goes into your I like to call
- 4:37Speaker 5: it my deposit account, slash your spend account, so that's
- 4:40Speaker 5: where your money lands. Some of it goes into your
- 4:42Speaker 5: bills account to pay bills, and you know how much
- 4:44Speaker 5: to go into your bills account by what bills are due.
- 4:47Speaker 5: And then some of it goes into your savings. So
- 4:49Speaker 5: in the beginning you're not going to have the math perfect.
- 4:52Speaker 5: You might just be like, I don't care if ten
- 4:53Speaker 5: dollars goes into your savings. When I was at my brocus,
- 4:56Speaker 5: I was literally transferring two dollars. You know, just contin
- 5:00Speaker 5: just to have the habit of savings. You never you
- 5:03Speaker 5: never want to get out of the habit of putting
- 5:05Speaker 5: something away in your savings account. That's important. So what
- 5:08Speaker 5: I did for my husband, for example, he's not gonna
- 5:10Speaker 5: sit down and spreadsheet. That's just not happening. He's like,
- 5:12Speaker 5: what breaks city, dope? So we do instead? Now, is
- 5:17Speaker 5: we budget for him anywhere? Because I like the spreadsheet.
- 5:20Speaker 5: We budget before his money even gets there, I said, Babe,
- 5:23Speaker 5: go to HR. Here's what you're gonna tell them. Hey,
- 5:26Speaker 5: before you give me my money. Some of it goes
- 5:29Speaker 5: into his retirement account check, some of it goes into
- 5:33Speaker 5: his into his spend account. That the deposit account where
- 5:35Speaker 5: things are depositives right, check by his direct deposit account, right.
- 5:39Speaker 5: Some of it goes into our joint bill's account check,
- 5:42Speaker 5: some goes into his personal savings check, and some goes
- 5:45Speaker 5: into our joint savings. So he basically his budget is
- 5:49Speaker 5: done automatically through HR, so it lands and all he
- 5:54Speaker 5: has to think about is when it comes to his
- 5:55Speaker 5: personal savings, whatever you want to do to that, that's
- 5:57Speaker 5: your business, as tabit. That would saying the vegan begon
- 6:00Speaker 5: chef that ready loves right now, and that's your business,
- 6:02Speaker 5: right and all he has to worry about too, it's
- 6:05Speaker 5: his basically his allowance in his deposit account, in his
- 6:08Speaker 5: spending account. So whatever's in his spending account. If I
- 6:11Speaker 5: see my husband with some new JS on. Back in
- 6:13Speaker 5: the day, I used to be like, oh, that's what
- 6:14Speaker 5: we're doing. I enjoyers with the bread money. Now it's
- 6:19Speaker 5: no more right because I know one thing. He didn't
- 6:22Speaker 5: take it from the bills account. He didn't take it
- 6:24Speaker 5: from our joint savings. So if he took it from
- 6:26Speaker 5: his personal savings or his spending account, that's fine. And
- 6:31Speaker 5: so like if you don't know how to do anything else,
- 6:32Speaker 5: if you just have at least those three accounts and
- 6:36Speaker 5: have your money automatically split from well really four because
- 6:38Speaker 5: you want to have a retirement account and have your
- 6:40Speaker 5: money split from work, then you will be ahead of
- 6:44Speaker 5: the game. And so for people who want to go
- 6:46Speaker 5: a little bit deeper. For me, you know, like I,
- 6:48Speaker 5: like I said, I like to have spread to you.
- 6:49Speaker 5: I like to know how much we're spending on on
- 6:52Speaker 5: on groceries, how much we're spending on gas, So I
- 6:55Speaker 5: keep track of that. I just the tool I like
- 6:57Speaker 5: to use message, just excel, So I like to keep
- 6:59Speaker 5: track of that. There, but you don't necessarily have to.
- 7:01Speaker 5: You set aside a you know, an allowance for yourself.
- 7:05Speaker 5: Typically things are led by bills. So if ideally you
- 7:08Speaker 5: want to be setting aside twelve to fifteen percent for
- 7:10Speaker 5: your retirement, and you probably are saying like, I can't
- 7:13Speaker 5: afford to lose twelve to fifteen percent of my pay,
- 7:15Speaker 5: or to start with one percent, and every six months
- 7:17Speaker 5: you boosted up, start with a half percent, and every
- 7:20Speaker 5: six months you boosted up, start with something towards retirement.
- 7:23Speaker 5: And then your bills. I like to do bills every
- 7:25Speaker 5: two weeks, so the money I have transferred to the
- 7:28Speaker 5: bills account, you ask yourself, okay, how much are my
- 7:31Speaker 5: bills from the first to the fifteenth, and how much
- 7:33Speaker 5: are my bills from the fifteen to the thirtieth, And
- 7:35Speaker 5: that's how you know how much to be going into
- 7:38Speaker 5: the bill's account. You know, so it might be or
- 7:41Speaker 5: you might just have a select number. You might say, well,
- 7:43Speaker 5: my bills are around three thousand dollars a month, so
- 7:46Speaker 5: every paycheck or every pay period, my bi weekly or
- 7:49Speaker 5: my bi monthly pay period, fifteen hundred dollars is going
- 7:52Speaker 5: to go into my bill's account. And having your bills account,
- 7:55Speaker 5: paid bills automatically for you is really going to be
- 7:58Speaker 5: like clutch, Like I don't pay bills, bills pay themselves,
- 8:01Speaker 5: so it lands on my bill's account and then dark
- 8:03Speaker 5: my bills already know I pay my pay the electric bill,
- 8:08Speaker 5: pay the water bill, pay these bills for me automatically,
- 8:10Speaker 5: and like I said, what's left in mind, spend account
- 8:13Speaker 5: is attached to my debtit card and I can spend
- 8:15Speaker 5: and when that money is done, so on mine. What's
- 8:18Speaker 5: really important too about a budget is is the savings account.
- 8:22Speaker 5: I don't want you to save at your regular bank
- 8:25Speaker 5: because it makes it easy to transfer. We've all been
- 8:27Speaker 5: there at Target right and been like, oh man, like
- 8:30Speaker 5: I really want whatever this thing is, this bleunder this dress,
- 8:33Speaker 5: this shirt, and you look at check in. You know
- 8:35Speaker 5: Daril William got no money and check in, but you
- 8:37Speaker 5: know who got money there, savings, And then you're in
- 8:40Speaker 5: line making that transfer, like happy about it to like
- 8:43Speaker 5: making a transfer even though you're like that was supposed
- 8:45Speaker 5: to be for powers. You're like pass, can wait, tease
- 8:47Speaker 5: your care make that transfer and you're like dang. Later
- 8:50Speaker 5: you're like this, why I don't never go nowhere because
- 8:52Speaker 5: I'm always at Target to buy a toilet tissue and
- 8:54Speaker 5: then I leave but three hundred dollars worth of stuff.
- 8:56Speaker 5: If you put your savings in an online only savings account, though,
- 9:00Speaker 5: then you're gonna have to wait at least twenty four
- 9:03Speaker 5: to seventy two hours for your savings at your online
- 9:06Speaker 5: only savings account to transfer back to your checking to
- 9:10Speaker 5: your spend account. And so what that means is it
- 9:13Speaker 5: makes your money inconvenient, and inconvenient money get saved. So
- 9:16Speaker 5: I like this website called magnify money dot com to
- 9:20Speaker 5: look for an online only savings account because they grade
- 9:22Speaker 5: savings accounts from A to F. So you're gonna look
- 9:25Speaker 5: for an a account that's one. Two, you're gonna look
- 9:27Speaker 5: for an account that's FDIC insured that's two. Three, You're
- 9:32Speaker 5: gonna look for an account that's gonna give the highest
- 9:33Speaker 5: interest rate because your big bank is not gonna give
- 9:36Speaker 5: you much of an interest rate. So online only savings
- 9:39Speaker 5: accounts don't have as much overhead, so they pass that
- 9:41Speaker 5: on to you and you earn a higher interest. And
- 9:44Speaker 5: then for you're going to look for a bank that
- 9:47Speaker 5: has low deposit requirement. So that means in order to
- 9:50Speaker 5: open up the bank account. Maybe you have to you
- 9:53Speaker 5: have to put in a dollar and also too in
- 9:55Speaker 5: order to maintain and get that interest. You don't want
- 9:58Speaker 5: them to say you have to have ten thousand dollars
- 9:59Speaker 5: in the make account in order for you to earn
- 10:01Speaker 5: the interests that they've advertised. So those are the four
- 10:04Speaker 5: components you're going to look for in your online safe account.
- 10:07Speaker 5: So I hate to say like, oh, twenty percent here,
- 10:09Speaker 5: thirty percent there, unless you have an irregular income. You
- 10:13Speaker 5: don't have to live by percentages. You would live by amounts.
- 10:16Speaker 5: So one hundred dollars here, three hundred dollars there, four
- 10:20Speaker 5: hundred dollars here, that's what you're That's the split that
- 10:22Speaker 5: you should be doing regularly every month. If your money
- 10:25Speaker 5: it fluctuates because you have an irregular income, then you
- 10:28Speaker 5: might say, you know, forty percent goes into my bills.
- 10:33Speaker 5: You know five percent goes into spending. But you have
- 10:36Speaker 5: to work backwards, like how much are your bills Unless
- 10:38Speaker 5: you're starting from scratching your twenty one you're just moving
- 10:40Speaker 5: out that you can force your bills to fit within
- 10:43Speaker 5: that percentage. But it's easy for people to say, oh
- 10:45Speaker 5: seventy thirty Yeah, but like, so, what are your bills
- 10:48Speaker 5: actually though your bills might be seventy percent of your
- 10:50Speaker 5: income right now, you know, so that's so you have
- 10:53Speaker 5: to pay your bills and you're I'm not worried about
- 10:55Speaker 5: the percentage, just now, like how much you actually need
- 10:58Speaker 5: to pay bills? Put that in the bills accoun Okay,
- 11:01Speaker 5: how much ideally do you want to save once those
- 11:03Speaker 5: bills are paid? I want to save one hundred dollars
- 11:05Speaker 5: a month, So make that a bill. Now that one
- 11:07Speaker 5: hundred dollars a month is automatically put into that savings
- 11:09Speaker 5: account directly from your job. And then what's left over,
- 11:12Speaker 5: like I said, is your spending money. You know, you
- 11:14Speaker 5: might tell yourself, I'm going to give myself fifty dollars
- 11:17Speaker 5: every two weeks for spending. Okay, great, and for whatever reason,
- 11:21Speaker 5: if there's not enough money, then you take care of bills.
- 11:23Speaker 5: You say, I guess I can't save this month, and
- 11:25Speaker 5: I guess I can't. I don't spending money this month
- 11:29Speaker 5: for like, you know, spending money for things that are
- 11:31Speaker 5: like you know, like hair nails, grooming, this and that.
- 11:34Speaker 5: You know, so sometimes you don't have it, and that's okay.
- 11:37Speaker 5: So there are times when I didn't have it, but
- 11:39Speaker 5: I had to pay bills, and even sometimes I didn't
- 11:41Speaker 5: have enough for bills and I had to say, well,
- 11:42Speaker 5: I have to pay my noodle budget bills, my essential bills.
- 11:45Speaker 5: Verizon can wait. Rising is not going to shoot you
- 11:48Speaker 5: if you don't pay. Yes, we'll affect your credit score,
- 11:51Speaker 5: but credit scores are things that you can you can
- 11:53Speaker 5: you can increase later. I much rather you take care
- 11:56Speaker 5: of things that are going to make you happy, I
- 11:57Speaker 5: mean healthy and safe.
- 12:00Speaker 2: I was just thinking about that because one of the things,
- 12:02Speaker 2: the powerful things you talk about is identifying ifs, Like
- 12:05Speaker 2: we can have anything we want if we just identify
- 12:07Speaker 2: our ifs in control them so that we can budget.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Right.
- 12:10Speaker 2: So if I want to say four hundred dollars, maybe
- 12:13Speaker 2: I don't go to the barbershop twice a week. Right,
- 12:17Speaker 2: So can you talk about the your points of identifying
- 12:19Speaker 2: the ifs and how they can translate to having more
- 12:21Speaker 2: money in your budget?
- 12:22Speaker 5: Absolutely, there are four questions you should ask yourself before
- 12:24Speaker 5: you spend any money. Do I need it? Do I
- 12:27Speaker 5: love it? Do I like it? Do I want it?
- 12:30Speaker 5: Need it? Love it like it? Want it, need it,
- 12:32Speaker 5: love it like it? What you need to switch on right.
- 12:37Speaker 5: So your needs come first. That's food, cholter, clothing, water,
- 12:40Speaker 5: the absolute necessities you must have to stay healthy and safe.
- 12:43Speaker 5: You pay for those first. Most of us are here
- 12:45Speaker 5: to that. That's why you're alive. Then your loves are
- 12:49Speaker 5: those things that enhance your life. What are things five
- 12:53Speaker 5: ten years from now that's still our value even though
- 12:56Speaker 5: that thing might not be there right. So if you
- 12:58Speaker 5: had Oprah's bank account, I tell people what would you
- 13:00Speaker 5: do or do more of? So a lot of people
- 13:02Speaker 5: say travel, maybe they'd start a business, maybe they go
- 13:05Speaker 5: back to school, maybe the philanthropy, whatever that is. So
- 13:08Speaker 5: those are your loves. Those are things that give you
- 13:10Speaker 5: long term joy, even when that thing is not physically
- 13:14Speaker 5: there right. And then your likes are short term joy.
- 13:18Speaker 5: So you know that's your target, run, that's your that's
- 13:22Speaker 5: that dress that you're like, oh, this is super cute.
- 13:25Speaker 5: You know that might be I don't know, eating out
- 13:27Speaker 5: with friends or eating out with friends might be a
- 13:29Speaker 5: love because you might be like, yo, I'm such a foodie.
- 13:31Speaker 5: Five years from now, I'm remembering that restaurant. So there's
- 13:34Speaker 5: no judgment, you get to decide, But likes our short
- 13:36Speaker 5: term joy. And wants are just things to get. I
- 13:39Speaker 5: really try to stay away from just frivolous spending, which
- 13:41Speaker 5: is what wants are. It doesn't mean I never do it,
- 13:44Speaker 5: but it doesn't make sense to trick up your money
- 13:46Speaker 5: and wants when you can have more things for loves
- 13:49Speaker 5: and your needs. And so what I try to do
- 13:52Speaker 5: is so I try to live in the second half,
- 13:54Speaker 5: the first half of life, my needs and my loves,
- 13:56Speaker 5: because that's an enriched, fulfilled life. I'm not really a foodie,
- 14:01Speaker 5: although my belly would to just otherwise, but I'm not
- 14:05Speaker 5: really a foodie. But I used to go eat brunch
- 14:08Speaker 5: every weekend with my friends and then one day I
- 14:10Speaker 5: was like, why thew am I going to bunch. I
- 14:11Speaker 5: have not been on vacation in like two years, so
- 14:13Speaker 5: I stopped going. They're likeyos Hilly, You're so cheap, right,
- 14:16Speaker 5: And I'm like, I'm not cheap. It's just that, like,
- 14:18Speaker 5: I don't want to spend my money on bunch anymore.
- 14:19Speaker 5: I don't want to spend thirty dollars a week eating brunch,
- 14:22Speaker 5: And so I started saving my brunch money that I
- 14:24Speaker 5: made it a game every time they asked me to
- 14:25Speaker 5: go to brunch, I would put I would transfer thirty
- 14:27Speaker 5: dollars to my savings account, and then within a few
- 14:30Speaker 5: months I had enough money. I went for my first
- 14:32Speaker 5: solo travel trip. I went to Albuquerque, New Mexico because
- 14:35Speaker 5: I had on my bucket list I wanted to ride
- 14:37Speaker 5: in a hot air balloon. In Albuquerque, New Mexico's the
- 14:40Speaker 5: high air bloon capital of the world. Who knew? Now
- 14:42Speaker 5: you do yes, right? And so I was like, okay.
- 14:45Speaker 5: So I remember my friend called me Tijana. She was like, hey, girl,
- 14:49Speaker 5: we're about to have We're gonna have brunch tomorrow. But
- 14:51Speaker 5: I know you and yo cheap behind you ain't going.
- 14:53Speaker 5: I was like, cause I was like slight flex, well,
- 14:55Speaker 5: actually major flex. I was like, ooh girl, I'm about
- 14:58Speaker 5: to get in a hot air balloon. The captain said,
- 14:59Speaker 5: I turn off my phone. Can I call you later?
- 15:01Speaker 5: She was like, I had an air Ballottle and Newer.
- 15:04Speaker 5: I'm like, no, girl, New Mexico. That's when I do
- 15:07Speaker 5: with my brunch money. Mike drop. Okay, So now don't
- 15:12Speaker 5: I stop telling my friends. I don't say I don't say.
- 15:14Speaker 3: No to brunch.
- 15:15Speaker 5: I'll tell them like, ah Na, girl, I can't go
- 15:17Speaker 5: right now, because I'm saying yes to Paris, I'm saying
- 15:20Speaker 5: yes to Istanbul, I'm saying yes to Santorina. These are
- 15:23Speaker 5: places I've been. I'm saying yes to Morocco. And so
- 15:26Speaker 5: I started to decide for myself what my needs and
- 15:28Speaker 5: my loves were. So I'm not against spending money. I'm
- 15:31Speaker 5: against spending money on things that don't matter to you.
- 15:34Speaker 5: Prioritize what your more is, like some of us are
- 15:37Speaker 5: spending our whole life spending money on someone else's idea
- 15:41Speaker 5: of more. Tajuanta is a foodie, not me. That's her more,
- 15:45Speaker 5: that's less for me. You know, let her eat out
- 15:47Speaker 5: with another food if she can come to my house
- 15:49Speaker 5: and chill out for free. And so that's really how
- 15:51Speaker 5: you start to prioritize, just to ask yourself, like what
- 15:54Speaker 5: does more of a life truly mean? You know, for me,
- 15:57Speaker 5: I don't want any You know, your spending should be
- 15:59Speaker 5: reflected of your values and how you want your life
- 16:02Speaker 5: to go.
- 16:02Speaker 4: So you said it hunting with the online.

- 17:56Speaker 6: Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for
- 17:59Speaker 6: the team today?
- 18:00Speaker 7: It was a new game day scratches from the California
- 18:02Speaker 7: Lottery players everything.
- 18:04Speaker 3: Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.
- 18:06Speaker 6: Are you saying it was the off field play that
- 18:08Speaker 6: made the difference on the field.
- 18:09Speaker 7: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made
- 18:12Speaker 7: the game.
- 18:13Speaker 3: That's all for now, Coach, one more question.
- 18:15Speaker 8: Play than you Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine
- 18:18Speaker 8: Ers and Los Angeles ram scratchers from the California Lottery.
- 18:21Speaker 8: A little play can make your day. Peace made responsibily.
- 18:24Speaker 8: Must be eighteen years or older to purchase plate or
- 18:26Speaker 8: claim my savings.
- 18:26Speaker 4: That was a good point, I tell people all the time,
- 18:28Speaker 4: like you got to treat your savings like a bill,
- 18:30Speaker 4: like how you have your bill, your car bill, Like
- 18:32Speaker 4: you can't afford to not pay your car bill. You
- 18:34Speaker 4: can't afford to not pay your cell phone bill. So savings,
- 18:37Speaker 4: like you said, no matter how much it is, it
- 18:38Speaker 4: should be a line item in a bill, I think,
- 18:41Speaker 4: but I wanted touch on.
- 18:42Speaker 3: I had a few questions.
- 18:43Speaker 4: So first when you had mentioned with your husband with HR, soho,
- 18:47Speaker 4: I didn't even know that was possible. So somebody's paycheck
- 18:49Speaker 4: can be split into different bank accounts for direct depositis.
- 18:53Speaker 5: Typically up to four. So most mid size so like
- 18:57Speaker 5: even my company. I don't have some huge company, but
- 18:58Speaker 5: we're able to do that. So typically a to four splits.
- 19:01Speaker 5: And so if you're if you're a single, ready to mingle,
- 19:05Speaker 5: I would say your bill's account a like, and your
- 19:09Speaker 5: savings account and your spending account. So I would do
- 19:11Speaker 5: the three right. So but if you are in a
- 19:16Speaker 5: relationship where you're like sharing expenses, then I would have four.
- 19:19Speaker 5: I believe that you should have some autonomy over your
- 19:21Speaker 5: finances as well as responsibility because you're with someone, So
- 19:25Speaker 5: that would be a personal savings. Each person a joint savings,
- 19:30Speaker 5: a joint bills, and and and and then your own
- 19:34Speaker 5: spending account. So to checking two savings. So one of
- 19:37Speaker 5: the checking one of the savings is yours, and the
- 19:40Speaker 5: other checking the other savings is someone else's well belongs
- 19:43Speaker 5: to collectively to the whole.
- 19:45Speaker 4: And all you have to do is just go to
- 19:47Speaker 4: HR And it's like a form like the regular direct
- 19:50Speaker 4: deposit form that you fill out, but it's just like
- 19:52Speaker 4: you can just add different bank accounts to it, yes,
- 19:54Speaker 4: and tell them.
- 19:54Speaker 5: This is the amount, like like you know, my check
- 19:56Speaker 5: is five thousand dollars. You know, let's just say a
- 19:59Speaker 5: pay period, a thousand goes here, a thousand goes here,
- 20:01Speaker 5: a thousand goes here, and so now like the other day,
- 20:04Speaker 5: because because because it's online only savings, we don't look
- 20:06Speaker 5: at it all the time, my husband is like, yo, babe,
- 20:10Speaker 5: I got mad money in my savings. I'm like, okay,
- 20:14Speaker 5: you're welcome, I upgrade right, But he was like, I
- 20:19Speaker 5: never had this much save because he doesn't think about it.
- 20:21Speaker 5: It's been like the last two or three years that
- 20:23Speaker 5: money would just land. So my husband is the type
- 20:27Speaker 5: maybe this is all man with your boys, and you know,
- 20:28Speaker 5: your boys be like, yo, yo, you can let me
- 20:30Speaker 5: hold thirty dollars. You gonna let me hear, you know,
- 20:33Speaker 5: And so he would always be like, yo, bhabe such
- 20:36Speaker 5: and such as you know, such a such a struggling
- 20:38Speaker 5: to be And I'd be like, who tone, I don't
- 20:41Speaker 5: even like tone, right, but like you know so now
- 20:44Speaker 5: because so we would have to be talking back and
- 20:46Speaker 5: forth to take money out of our our joint pot.
- 20:48Speaker 5: So now there's none of that because one, you have
- 20:51Speaker 5: your own allowance money and you have your own savings.
- 20:53Speaker 5: You want to give tone all your safe and that's
- 20:55Speaker 5: how you won't live your life.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Go ahead, you know, joint account exactly.
- 21:00Speaker 5: I was like, I'm looking at the joint saving in
- 21:02Speaker 5: the doorbell. I was like, okay, long, I'll see no
- 21:04Speaker 5: tone bill in that. So it allows you, you know,
- 21:07Speaker 5: so everyone to feel like you're part of this community
- 21:09Speaker 5: where you're all contributing, but allows you to have autonomy,
- 21:12Speaker 5: like he could do whatever he wants with well, not
- 21:14Speaker 5: whatever he wants, but you know what I mean, Like
- 21:16Speaker 5: with his money, he can decide. And so I think
- 21:18Speaker 5: that works best for if you're in a significant relationship
- 21:21Speaker 5: with someone.
- 21:22Speaker 4: And another thing the last question. So the online savings,
- 21:25Speaker 4: like I said, I believe the same thing you said,
- 21:27Speaker 4: as far as it's good to have it, not with
- 21:28Speaker 4: the bank like I Chase. I have Chase from my
- 21:30Speaker 4: business and my personal bank account, but I have Capital
- 21:33Speaker 4: one my online savings. And the reason is that it's
- 21:36Speaker 4: not it's a whole hassle to get the money. You
- 21:38Speaker 4: gotta wait like three days. So psychologically it's like out
- 21:41Speaker 4: of sight, out of mind when you when you when
- 21:43Speaker 4: I log on and Chase app, I don't see it.
- 21:45Speaker 4: I even forget about it. I was just thinking about
- 21:47Speaker 4: it just now, like I forgot about I forgot about it.
- 21:49Speaker 4: I haven't really even you know what I'm saying. So
- 21:52Speaker 4: what what do you have any top banks that you're
- 21:56Speaker 4: recommending like or like interest rates that we should be
- 21:59Speaker 4: because I figure, I get what my interest rate is.
- 22:01Speaker 4: I know it's slightly higher, like you said, because online
- 22:02Speaker 4: banks don't have the same brick and water expenses as
- 22:05Speaker 4: regular traditional banks do. So it's always good to have
- 22:08Speaker 4: online bank for the higher interest rate. But are there
- 22:11Speaker 4: any ones that in particular right now that's paying higher
- 22:15Speaker 4: interest rates than others?
- 22:17Speaker 5: There was, so here's being like one. I'm like these
- 22:20Speaker 5: banks will pay my bills. People always no, but honestly,
- 22:22Speaker 5: so the reason why I tell people like I, I'm currently
- 22:26Speaker 5: with Ally Bank a L L Y right. But here's
- 22:29Speaker 5: the thing. Ally Bank, back in the day they had
- 22:32Speaker 5: the best They had the best interest rate. They don't anymore.
- 22:36Speaker 5: Their interest rate is okay. I think last why I
- 22:37Speaker 5: check it was like well one point five percent. But
- 22:40Speaker 5: there are banks out there. There was a Credit Union
- 22:42Speaker 5: when I looked at Magnifying Money the other day, that
- 22:44Speaker 5: was given two percent. So I definitely say go for
- 22:48Speaker 5: the bank that's giving the highest interust rate. There's also
- 22:51Speaker 5: Goldman Sacks has a has a bank account called like
- 22:53Speaker 5: Marcus my Goldman Sachs. You know, that's another one. So
- 22:57Speaker 5: you know, I say that there isn't a best bank.
- 23:01Speaker 5: If the bank is FDIC insured and they're paying you
- 23:03Speaker 5: the highest interest rate, that's the best bank. Like I said,
- 23:06Speaker 5: I like Ally but I'm only there now because I
- 23:08Speaker 5: signed out with them originally. But best believed. Go with
- 23:11Speaker 5: the coins are you don't have to be loyal to
- 23:13Speaker 5: your bank. They're not loyal to you, you know, go
- 23:16Speaker 5: with who's give you them coins. Yeah.
- 23:18Speaker 2: One of the things you said about having a joint account.
- 23:20Speaker 3: You know I can attest to.
- 23:21Speaker 2: I think it's a great idea, especially for married couples.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I heard you preach about prepared to invest, right, So
- 23:27Speaker 2: if you have that a joint account, what is something
- 23:29Speaker 2: that couples could think about investing?
- 23:32Speaker 5: So this is great. So people ask me, like, here's
- 23:36Speaker 5: the steps to prepare to invest so you don't have
- 23:38Speaker 5: to wait to invest for retirement. So to be clear,
- 23:41Speaker 5: when I say retirement is an investment, the purpose of
- 23:44Speaker 5: retirement is not so you're going You're not gonna live
- 23:46Speaker 5: on no private island in retirement unless you're living on
- 23:49Speaker 5: a private island now. Retirement is so you can maintain
- 23:53Speaker 5: your current lifestyle. If you set aside twelve to fifteen
- 23:57Speaker 5: percent of your income now your gross income now, and
- 24:00Speaker 5: that's all you ever do. What that will inability to
- 24:03Speaker 5: do is maintain your current lifestyle. So if you don't
- 24:06Speaker 5: see palm trees next to you now, you ain't gonna
- 24:08Speaker 5: see palm trees when you eighty, right, So then so
- 24:11Speaker 5: if you do that first and foremost, because you must
- 24:13Speaker 5: set aside for your future self and it's your younger
- 24:16Speaker 5: self job to look after your future self. So that
- 24:18Speaker 5: comes first. Then after you're doing that, then you have
- 24:21Speaker 5: to have a budget, right, you have to have some
- 24:24Speaker 5: sort of physical plan of what your money is doing.
- 24:28Speaker 5: This much is going to build, this much is going
- 24:31Speaker 5: to spend him something. So that's step two. Do you
- 24:34Speaker 5: have a budget? Check before people say or I want
- 24:35Speaker 5: to invest, I'm like, slow down, slow down, Sun, You're
- 24:38Speaker 5: killing them. Who's filling them? What I obtained? You didn't not
- 24:41Speaker 5: have bods? Right, So that's too. Do you have a budget? Great? Now?
- 24:47Speaker 5: Step number three? Right, do you have savings? Right? So,
- 24:52Speaker 5: do you have emergency savings at minimum minimum minum during
- 24:55Speaker 5: the recession I say six months. During a nonversession, I
- 24:58Speaker 5: say at least three months of your noodle budget? Meaning
- 25:02Speaker 5: do you have three months of your essential bills saved?
- 25:05Speaker 5: Because we already talked about if you were to lose
- 25:08Speaker 5: your job, you're gonna drop down to get your noodle on.
- 25:10Speaker 5: You're not gonna be living at the same You're not
- 25:11Speaker 5: gonna be living at your three thousand dollar bus. You're
- 25:13Speaker 5: gonna be living at your twenty five hundred dollars budget.
- 25:15Speaker 5: So do you have at least three months of your
- 25:17Speaker 5: noodle budget saved? That's important because that is going to
- 25:20Speaker 5: help you if times get rough and tough. Do you
- 25:22Speaker 5: have that great? Then number four, do you have high
- 25:27Speaker 5: interest debt? Meaning how are you going to invest when
- 25:32Speaker 5: you owe visa at eighteen nineteen twenty five thirty percent?
- 25:37Speaker 5: Do you think you're gonna get a return of fifteen thirteen?
- 25:41Speaker 5: You know, thirty percent? No? On average, the market yields
- 25:44Speaker 5: about seven to eight percent a year. So what that
- 25:47Speaker 5: means is you put your money in the market, on average,
- 25:51Speaker 5: you're going to get back eight cents. Let's just say,
- 25:55Speaker 5: but because you have credit card debt, you're losing eighteen
- 25:58Speaker 5: cents or year. So you make it eight cents and
- 26:03Speaker 5: losing eighteen cents. The best thing you can do is
- 26:05Speaker 5: pay off the credit card debt, the high interest credit
- 26:08Speaker 5: card debt, because you're losing more than you're likely to
- 26:11Speaker 5: gain in the market. So before you start investing, you
- 26:13Speaker 5: and your boo like, get rid of that high interest
- 26:16Speaker 5: credit card debt first and foremost. So that's four. So
- 26:19Speaker 5: now you've done all those four things. You feeling cute, okay,
- 26:21Speaker 5: you feeling spicy. Now we can leap into investing for wealth.
- 26:25Speaker 5: So investing for wealth if you are a couple, if
- 26:28Speaker 5: you don't know how to do nothing else, like, you know,
- 26:30Speaker 5: so most people are like they're not really willing to
- 26:31Speaker 5: do like everybody wants to like trade options. They don't
- 26:34Speaker 5: even know what that is. They want to, you know,
- 26:35Speaker 5: everybody wants to buy stock. Then you bought Delta. How's
- 26:37Speaker 5: that working out for you right now?
- 26:38Speaker 3: How's Delta doing?
- 26:39Speaker 5: It's doing terrible. I can tell you because I have Delta,
- 26:43Speaker 5: and so most people want to do that. But truth is,
- 26:45Speaker 5: most people are not willing to do the work for investing.
- 26:47Speaker 5: That's okay, So this is what I tell people that instead,
- 26:51Speaker 5: you can invest in a mutual fund. I prefer target
- 26:56Speaker 5: date funds because it's like super super handholding. A target
- 26:59Speaker 5: date fun is a mutual fund that you pick the
- 27:04Speaker 5: target date the date you want to pull out that money.
- 27:06Speaker 5: So typically most target date funds are the date that
- 27:10Speaker 5: you want to pull out that money. Typically is the
- 27:11Speaker 5: date that you want to retire, So you might say
- 27:14Speaker 5: twenty fifty, twenty forty five, twenty thirty five. They're usually
- 27:17Speaker 5: five years apart. So you're going to pick a mutual
- 27:19Speaker 5: fund that's a target date fund, right, a mutual fund.
- 27:22Speaker 5: Just so you know, for those listening I'm sure you know,
- 27:24Speaker 5: but you never know. It's a collection of investments. I
- 27:29Speaker 5: like mutual funds that tend to be index funds, so
- 27:31Speaker 5: they follow a particular index, like the S and P
- 27:33Speaker 5: five hundred, which is basically like the market. So that
- 27:37Speaker 5: means you're invested in a mutual fund that's an index fund,
- 27:41Speaker 5: and it follows the market and your money. The reason
- 27:45Speaker 5: why I like target date funds is that it rebalances
- 27:47Speaker 5: like a true investor knows that they have to shift
- 27:50Speaker 5: based upon how life like where they are in life.
- 27:54Speaker 5: Most people don't do that, so a target date fund
- 27:56Speaker 5: does it for you. A target date fund says, you
- 27:58Speaker 5: pick the target date of twenty fifty. It is now
- 28:00Speaker 5: twenty twenty. We have thirty years. We got time, so
- 28:03Speaker 5: we the target day fund is going to be invested
- 28:06Speaker 5: more aggressively because you have thirty years. The closer you
- 28:09Speaker 5: get to twenty fifty, the more conservative automatically your investment
- 28:14Speaker 5: is going to be invested because the target day fund
- 28:17Speaker 5: is aware of twenty fifty is coming up. So the
- 28:20Speaker 5: closer we get if it's twenty forty nine, then you're
- 28:23Speaker 5: super You might be invested in all cash accounts in bonds,
- 28:27Speaker 5: super super conservative investments, right, so you don't not do
- 28:30Speaker 5: anything else. You can buy mutual fund that that's that's
- 28:34Speaker 5: that follows an index fund like I said, the S
- 28:35Speaker 5: and P five hundred. Typically you can you can follow
- 28:39Speaker 5: you look for a mutual fund. That's that's called a
- 28:41Speaker 5: total market fund, meaning that your fund mimics a particular market,
- 28:46Speaker 5: like I said the S and P five hundred one hundred.
- 28:48Speaker 5: So when the when the market goes up, your money
- 28:50Speaker 5: goes up. When the market goes down, your money goes down.
- 28:52Speaker 5: But we like we, like I mentioned before, on average,
- 28:55Speaker 5: the market yields about seven to eight percent a year.
- 29:00Speaker 5: You will you will over the over the next thirty years,
- 29:02Speaker 5: you're gonna see about a seven eight percent game, which
- 29:05Speaker 5: is great, you know, even like that's for people who
- 29:07Speaker 5: are like I, don't want to do nothing else like
- 29:09Speaker 5: And so when you're looking for a target date fund
- 29:12Speaker 5: or mutual fund, you're looking for something called the expense ratio,
- 29:15Speaker 5: and that is the fee that that fund is charging
- 29:18Speaker 5: you the percentage of the money that you have invested
- 29:21Speaker 5: with that fund. And so right now, like a Vanguard,
- 29:24Speaker 5: they have one of the lowest expense ratio. So the
- 29:27Speaker 5: brokers accounts that have mutual funds and target date funds,
- 29:31Speaker 5: and these total market funds are like Vanguard, Fidality, child Swab.
- 29:35Speaker 5: So you're gonna google expense ratio for First Fidelity, expense
- 29:39Speaker 5: ratio for child Swab. I think, like, right now, it's
- 29:41Speaker 5: like the target fund for a total market target date
- 29:45Speaker 5: fund for Vanguard. Right now, it's like point zero six percent,
- 29:48Speaker 5: which is great, right, not even point zero zero six percent,
- 29:51Speaker 5: which is like something ridiculous, like a piece of a
- 29:54Speaker 5: piece of a piece of piece of a penny. And
- 29:57Speaker 5: so that's great because the average financial advisor is going
- 30:00Speaker 5: to charge you one percent of the assets of your
- 30:03Speaker 5: of your money that they've invested. So the financial advisor
- 30:05Speaker 5: is gonna charge you one percent. Bandguard's going to charge
- 30:07Speaker 5: you a piece of a piece of a piece of
- 30:09Speaker 5: one percent, so you get to keep more of your money.
- 30:11Speaker 5: Fees are the biggest hindrance to earning money. You know,
- 30:16Speaker 5: I'm not anti financial advisor, but you're spending a lot
- 30:21Speaker 5: of money sometimes for them to do automatically what some
- 30:24Speaker 5: of these automatic funds can do. Unless you have other
- 30:26Speaker 5: things your financial advisor's doing for you. If there's just
- 30:28Speaker 5: investing your money bruh sis. Just put it in a
- 30:31Speaker 5: target day fund and let the fund automatically balance for
- 30:34Speaker 5: you and you can keep most of your money. So
- 30:36Speaker 5: if you're investing with your significant other, what I love
- 30:38Speaker 5: is that you can literally say, hey, Vanguard, we're going
- 30:40Speaker 5: to open up a mutual fund. Well prefer a target
- 30:43Speaker 5: day fund that's invested in an index. So do you
- 30:46Speaker 5: have like I know, Vanguard literally has one called their
- 30:48Speaker 5: total market fund, or you have a total market fund, Okay,
- 30:50Speaker 5: open it up. We're gonna putting two hundred dollars a month.
- 30:53Speaker 5: Just you can have that transferred automatically from your savings account.
- 30:57Speaker 5: Transfer your two hundred bucks a month because you already
- 30:59Speaker 5: have your three months of savings trets for your three
- 31:01Speaker 5: hundred bucks a month or two hundred bucks a month
- 31:03Speaker 5: into that account and let it grow. You kind of
- 31:05Speaker 5: set it and set I forget it. So that's like
- 31:07Speaker 5: the easiest possible way to start investing. If you do that,
- 31:10Speaker 5: you will be better off than ninety nine or nine
- 31:12Speaker 5: point most people. And just keep it really simple. I
- 31:15Speaker 5: think investing should be really simple unless like you really
- 31:18Speaker 5: are interested in learning how to buy individual stocks, but
- 31:21Speaker 5: you have to when it comes to investing, like in
- 31:23Speaker 5: the traditional sense and like the market, keep it simple.
- 31:26Speaker 5: And then you can also invest by starting a business.
- 31:28Speaker 5: You can invest by writing a book. There's other ways
- 31:31Speaker 5: to invest. You can invest by real estate like I
- 31:33Speaker 5: do all those things. I have residual investments where I
- 31:36Speaker 5: have books that pay me a few thousand dollars a
- 31:38Speaker 5: month from books I've written years ago. I have a
- 31:40Speaker 5: business that you know, that's an investment as well. I
- 31:43Speaker 5: put money into that business and it yields money back.
- 31:46Speaker 5: I also have real estate. You know, even in your
- 31:48Speaker 5: primary your primary residence, you have to think about that
- 31:50Speaker 5: as an investment, and you have to understand that the
- 31:53Speaker 5: key with investing is you should make money on the buy,
- 31:58Speaker 5: not necessarily the seal. Meaning this is then if you
- 32:02Speaker 5: always make sure you make money on the buy, you
- 32:04Speaker 5: never lose. But it's time to sell. So bought this
- 32:07Speaker 5: house that living in now cash SLFE flex but it
- 32:11Speaker 5: was a foreclosure so it was worth at the time
- 32:14Speaker 5: maybe three twenty because it was kind of like a
- 32:17Speaker 5: little bit beat up, and we bought it for one eighty.
- 32:20Speaker 5: So we made money on a buy even if nothing
- 32:23Speaker 5: else we didn't fix it up. We're like, you know,
- 32:25Speaker 5: we tired, we ran out of money to fix it up.
- 32:27Speaker 5: We bought it for one eighty a house that's worth
- 32:29Speaker 5: three twenty, So we made money on the buy, no
- 32:31Speaker 5: matter what. So even now they're talking about the market
- 32:33Speaker 5: it's gonna drop, I'm not worried about it. Would have
- 32:35Speaker 5: to drop a whole hell of a lot for a
- 32:37Speaker 5: house worth three twenty to drop down to one eighty,
- 32:40Speaker 5: you know, exactly, so we so then we then we
- 32:45Speaker 5: renovated the place. So now I just got the house
- 32:47Speaker 5: of praise. We renovated it. The house is now worth
- 32:49Speaker 5: three ninety. So it's like even if we never renovated,
- 32:52Speaker 5: we was gonna win. So same thing with stocks, you
- 32:55Speaker 5: know that, like you make money on the buy, you know,
- 32:58Speaker 5: not necessarily, like you don't want to have to wait
- 33:00Speaker 5: for the out. But not enough people do that. They
- 33:02Speaker 5: want to jump into the market right now because you know,
- 33:05Speaker 5: your your neighbor's like, oh I bought, Oh you're not in,
- 33:08Speaker 5: but yeah, I me h, oh little bitcoin. Meanwhile, you
- 33:11Speaker 5: don't know nothing, know what they're talking about. Don't jump
- 33:13Speaker 5: in and lose your money. Like if you're not going
- 33:15Speaker 5: to do the research, you're going to be broke. Get
- 33:17Speaker 5: you an index fund, you know, invest in things that
- 33:20Speaker 5: you're willing to do the research on, or invest in
- 33:22Speaker 5: semi automated, super simple investments, and you'll be fine. You
- 33:25Speaker 5: don't have to have your investments so honestly largely be boring.
- 33:28Speaker 5: You don't have to have the hottest stock.
- 33:30Speaker 6: So, Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed
- 33:34Speaker 6: for the team today?
- 33:34Speaker 7: It was the new game day scratches from the California
- 33:37Speaker 7: Lottery players.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Everything. Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.
- 33:40Speaker 6: Are you saying it was the off field play that
- 33:42Speaker 6: made the difference on the field.
- 33:44Speaker 7: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made
- 33:46Speaker 7: the game. That's all for now, Coach.
- 33:49Speaker 5: One more question.
- 33:50Speaker 8: Played the new Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine
- 33:52Speaker 8: ers and Los Angeles Rams scratchers from the California Lottery.
- 33:56Speaker 8: A little play can make your day. Peace may responsible.
