LESSON 2
DEBT
If your goal is to drive a Mercedes, then set tasks that you must complete before
obtaining your dream car. Do what you have to do now, and you won't be
'trapped' in the future. If you're older and already have a mortgage and a family,
I know it's harder to live below your means. But there are things you can do to
help your situa�on. First, I will explain how you can help yourself live below your
means with my credit card bill trick! Then we will discuss why it's beneficial to
pay the debt down faster.
CREDIT CARD BILL TRICK!
Here’s a simple trick. Let’s find out how much money you spend on coffee.
Take out your credit card statement and get a highlighter. Highlight every
coffee purchase for this month. Bring up the calculator app on your phone and
start adding! Coffee at Tim Horton's coffee costs $2. $2 for 30 days is only $60.
But guess what! To my surprise, I had spent over $300 at the coffee shop.
That's $3,600 for the year! The reason is upselling! When you go to the coffee
shop, you feel like ge�ng a donut and a hash-brown when you've
already had breakfast. These expenses add up. By pu�ng in the
work to make your coffee
every morning, you can
save a lot of money.
