    Years ago, I watched a YT channel called homeless firefighter which introduced me to this show. I followed his lead and moved into my truck bed with a camper shell. Graduated college and couldn’t fathom paying 2k in rent for an apt I was never at. 3.5 yrs later, I have no debt and 150k cash in the bank. Come from foster care so I’m used to having nothing. Separate your needs and wants and figure out what’s most important to you in the long run. For me, it’s buying a house cash out of state and working a low stress mediocre job to carry me through the rest of my years. It’s shocking to hear these stories because I can’t help but compare myself to other successful people around me and in CA there’s ALOT of them. That said, you never know what’s going on behind closed doors lol. I feel great about my situation any time I watch these videos. Thanks for sharing!

    Discovering this show from across the Atlantic. The financial situations of some of these people are mind boggling.
    I've been working for a decade, and my way of thinking has been the following: enjoy today, but NEVER spend more than you can afford/pay back in a reasonable timeframe. I've never had much money saved, but I've always kept the boat afloat. Because of this, I see myself as bad at managing finances.

      Most college graduates get that “whatever degree”, only because they studied hard to pass a test. None of that translates to real life, except to just get by. Goes to me, got a great degree - because I could pass the tests. Looked good to everyone but me. Never what I wanted to do. But, these people blow my mind for their utter ignorance. Up side I have never been in debt and never will be. I live comfortably - approaching 75 and my future looks good, except for the direction our Government is taking us. One day at a time.

I didn’t want to go university as I could see everyone coming out starting life in debt. I got a job straight from school. Never borrowed money, never had a credit card. I am now 70, live a very comfortable life, no mortgage on my million dollar house, no debt, plenty to live on. My son didn’t want to go to university, he got a job straight from school. He has now just bought the company he works for. He has no debt apart from a home loan which is soon to be paid off. He is 42. University is not the be all and end all. You can get a job and make it in life without university!!!

Are you planning on selling your old place or the new place? Or are you renting one out? If you are looking to rent one out I would just avoid this whole thing and use your surplus in investing. If you're moving then I'd honestly pay for supplies out of pocket and have a mortgage. If you are flipping then what you're doing makes sense but I'm not sure what you're refinancing.
