    Great ideas. When we get paid we have a money transfer automatically to our savings account because I know if it was in the checking account I would probably spend it. We also have a specific amount that we never go under in that account. We have a list of things we want to do or purchase. We research the item and then save for it so we can pay cash like when I needed a new washer and dryer. Sometimes we surprise the grandkids 18 and 21 and transfer some money to their accounts from our savings.

    I know it was my ancestors and spirit guides that made me stop scrolling and review this video. I grew up in a household that showed me at an early age how to save. My mother is a great teacher on how to save,but I haven't done a great job at saving. I am 52 and looking for ways to save more money. Well, I am starting a job that is paying weekly and more money. Also, I applied for and will get the part-time job that will help me save even more money. Thanks for this video,its very helpful.

    Its great tips to increase cash flow. But I think 1000$ not realistic for most yet alone 5000. It has be more broken down into smaller amount like 1000 in 3 months. And again it's hard when we have er additional expenses that can interfere with putting money away. But it can be achievable with 1k than 2k. Once organized
