Money is Expensive

Money is Expensive I figured it out! One day while making a bowl of
cereal and looking at the price. It hit me! It's not the products that are too
expensive, it's...

Debt is DUMB. Cash is KING.

A debit card will do everything that a credit card can do, EXCEPT put you into debt.

There will probably be some time between steps 1 and 2 on this list, but cutting up the card to stop the temptation to spend is very important. Pay it off as quickly as you can, then make the call to cancel. The credit card company will probably try to give you a hard time or offer you incentives to keep the account open. Don't give in. You've said "NO" to debt. Make sure to get a confirmation of the cancellation in writing, and never look back!

If you ever find yourself going through a tough financial season, remember to focus on taking care of your 4 Walls FIRST, and in this order.

Cover utilities before you pay your rent or mortgage. This is because in most cases, your lights or water risk being shut off before you'd be evicted.

During a storm, you've got to prioritize your expenses. Don't ever pay a debt before you buy food. Pause paying extra on debts and save money while you weather the storm. Once your income stabilizes, you can resume working the 7 Baby Steps.

Always remember - there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and you DO have what it takes to get to the other side of whatever situation you're facing.

If you can't pay cash, don't buy it.

This doesn't include a mortgage. Just make sure you're out of all other debt and have a 3-6 month emergency fund FIRST. (Don't get a mortgage that's more than 25% of your take-home pay on a 15-year, fixed-rate.)

If you're tired of just making minimum payments and living paycheck to paycheck, there is HOPE.

Moral policy = good economics: What’s needed to lift up 140 million poor and low-income people further devastated by the pandemic

Seven months into a global pandemic, U.S. families are suffering: 225,000 lives have been lost, 30 million workers have lost either jobs or significant hours of work, nearly every state is facing sharp drops in revenue that will threaten even more cuts to essential social programs and jobs, and the....

This week, we count down the top 5 charts showing what's at stake for workers.

5. As Social Security payments rose over the last 60 years, senior poverty declined dramatically. Social Security is the most successful anti-poverty program, and it must be protected and expanded. https://bit.ly/3kSwquo

4. The number of people on unemployment insurance remains breathtakingly high. Nearly 22 million more people are on UI now versus one year ago, and they have gone over 12 weeks without the extra $600 in benefits that Senate Republicans allowed to expire. https://bit.ly/2GeM7xc

3. If the minimum wage had been raised to $2 in 1963, with future increases tied to the cost of living, it would be $14.79 in 2020—more than twice its current value of $7.25. Five years of increases could reverse that trend. https://bit.ly/3efnMUr

2. Because of the types of jobs women have had―including disproportionate caregiving responsibilities―women have faced disproportionate job loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. Black and Latina women workers, in particular, have suffered most. https://bit.ly/2JfMusl

1. A chart that says it all: Although Americans are working more productively than ever, the fruits of their labors have primarily accrued to those at the top and to corporate profits, especially in recent years. https://bit.ly/34G8SU0

Racial disparities in income remained largely unchanged amid strong income growth in 2019. The median Black household earned just 61 cents for every dollar of income the median white household earned, while the median Hispanic household earned 74 cents.

African American households finally surpassed their pre-recession median income 12 years after the start of the Great Recession—the last racial group to do so. Unfortunately, this recovery has been cut short by massive job losses during the pandemic.

In a zero-yield environment, people flock to high-yield income ETFs, but many face the risk that high-yielding dividends will be cut reducing income. The StrategyShares Nasdaq 7Handl Index ETF is the only fund that seeks to pay a consistent distribution with a 7% yield.
