I don’t deserve the right things I deserve the wrong things I deserve a bad future because my present doesn’t really exist and there’s no consequences at all forever in any area Of life. Yay I got a lot to unpack
I was raised poor and spent my early adult life obsessively holding onto my money and was constantly on the lookout for what I can “score”. I only ever spent money on essentials - and they were the cheapest essentials I could source. I was stingey, I was first in line if something free was being given away, and always compared “my share” with those around me. It was a poverty mindset and I hated it. It consumed me. I decided to change it and started going out of my way to be generous … I donated to causes; I shouted friends coffee; I found ways to give anonymously to people around me. I am a changed person. Being generous comes naturally to me now. I finally feel free from the torment. I know it goes against what we are taught about money but I actually manage my finances better all round now and have more savings than I’ve ever had
I have a similar upbringing and early life. Truth be told, I am appreciative of the ability to save, because it has allowed me to have more than others at my same income level, but now, I have learnt to relax and I am working on learning to spend more. I have a modest life and I am satisfied with it. I am now learning how to be more generous, but I am also appreciative of the skill I learnt in saving.
Linked up with someone who acts as a mentor in my life earlier this year and my negotiation skills went up; unnecessary spendings was massively cut down; savings went up - my finances got better.
It's something that sounds pretty simplistic and trivial, but it does make a huge importance in our lives. I think the hardest part is to check everything to watch over youself, and, mainly, to assume that you might be mistaken about your choices.
Oooh excellent! :-) I like the way you addressed and presented the topic. Short, clear, kind and insightful. I knew all this, yet this specific video, I believe, actually activated the seed for doing better. Thank you Sir!
I started doing this a few months ago and it's painful sometimes, you're almost in denial of the numbers staring back at you. You can lie to yourself but the numbers certainly don't! It's also important to not write anything off or not include it because you think it was a rare occurance or too insignificant.
So true. My younger self was not confident and yes I spent so much money on clothes, bags and anything externally to fill my inner holes. Later (and older) I did something with my life to gain my confidence. Fast forward my spending habits have changed in a better way.
Can I just say this blew my mind and is so underrated. I never realized our relationship with money is a reflection of our relationships with people too 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Thanks for the insight. I admit that I'm very much emotionally attached to some of my expenses and since being a fresh graduate comes with loads of other necessities to fill the expectation gap, so that also increases spending. I believe figuring out a robust method of earning and building passive income could help in a financially stable lifestyle.
Bringing our spending into perspective, illuminates those critical areas that needs curbing. Therefore, creating a balance and a healthy outlook overall.
The principles talked about in this video are reliable soon after they are employed. For example after only 5 minutes of watching this video now I know why I am so addicted to coffee. It is because whenever I was out with my mom for coffee with her friends it was then I felt most safe.
I prefer to use Google Sheets because of the customization ability it allows. However on the downside, it can take a bit of effort to set it up and if you're looking to make a comprehensive tracker, it would also require some above average understanding of formulas to program the tracker.
I use 'fortune city' its a gamified version of finance app and it has really nice and easy to use analysis tools to see your expenses in different categories.
Thank god RUclips does not show the list of folks liking & disliking a video. Like for example - I'd report these 13 nuts to the authorities citing mental imbalance & threat to society .. hehe .. Thank you so very much for this talk actually. Nothing less than an eye opener for cartoons like me. Take care.
Good narrative, not teaching enough if i do a spreadsheet for past months and it turns out i spent a lot at the supermarket i have no access to the specific items bought
Keep the receipt and take some time every day to categorise every single item you buy. We always learn from past outcomes and have the option to change
@@aasthasingh8996 thank you for your proposal however i do not have the desire to dedicate so much time and an automatic solution with scanning the bill could work better
💜 please know you can’t believe everything you think Brandon YOUR WORDS ARE POWERFUL 😇🙏 what we seek is seeking us SELF LOVE ❤️ is where it starts!!! Sending you a hug PKEASE KNOW YOUR WORTH!! I feel you 😇🥳💜💜💜💜keep swimming
Hey Brandon, I know it’s hard right now and doesn’t feel like where you want to be. But please have hope it will improve, and look for grace and ease. If you feel you didn’t accomplish much today but you still got through the day, know that someone out there is proud of you for that (me) because some days, that in itself is an accomplishment. You can do this. You will make it through and see things getting better.
Hmm, true knowing would affect. Do you use card by chance? You could just keep a journal of how you felt through out the day and at the end of the month relink your emotions with your bank statement. Maybe this loophole may work or lead to one that fits for you
I am sure it was a helpful talk but it was very monotonous to stay focused. I hope you get better to get the value through to everyone next time. Good luck
"Our relationship with money represents our relationship with life." Well said.

Yes Good Golly! That's how it's done! Abundance mindset begets abundance.
The people you surround yourself with influence your behaviors, so choose friends who have healthy financial, mental and spiritual habits.
Yess i know!!! Goodluck

Everyone should have you as their accountant!! This makes sense.
I started removing money every paycheck to a separate account. It was scary at first, but then I realized that I absolutely can live on my budget
I love how every example was an immediate lifechanging epiphany
Tracking and charting expenses helps us reflect about ourselves is the learning from this ted. Thankyou Man !
Oooh excellent! :-) I like the way you addressed and presented the topic. Short, clear, kind and insightful.
I knew all this, yet this specific video, I believe, actually activated the seed for doing better. Thank you Sir!
We loved hosting Robert for this session! Well done!
I can finally say somebody I know has done a Ted Talk. Proud of you Robert. 🤗

One doesn't own emotion, and when one is owned by emotion, it's a reflection of one's belief that one owns them🎈
That is an great perspective on spending habits. That really clicked in.
Impulse purchases😹💔 I felt very attacked
Awesome talk Robert A Belle!
Money doesn’t cause money problems! Best thing I learned at an early age.
Bringing our spending into perspective, illuminates those critical areas that needs curbing. Therefore, creating a balance and a healthy outlook overall.
analyzing my behavioral expenses help me understand and realize. thanks bro
Wow really good ted talk. Thank You.
Thank you to add a different angle
This is an incredible talk! I discovered it just in time for Tax season.
Our money know us well then we know ourself 👌👌👌

Valuable insights. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Wow what a revelation. Thank you for this wonderful information.
Such an informative Ted. Thank you!
Very enlightening and well presented, thank you! Be well 🌹
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! THANK YOUU!!!!
Looked at the videos title and said " Well, here we go, this should be enlightening.
Good stuff. Love your fiancial advice
I have never thought about this before
Respect bro!
Well said. Thank you, Robert.
Thanks for the insights.
Can someone suggest good app to track the expenses...!!!

My bank has a specific app for it but it might be for Canadians only.
Thank you! 🙌🏾
this was such a good talk!
Liked and am watching!
Very enlightening.
I thought about my expenses one more time. I also had impulsive spending. So, as I said in the video, I will categorize the cost.
So true. Thanks for sharing
Just curious how he isolated chocolate purchases on all his receipts?

I feel personally attacked by this relatable content
you're amazing
Love this video
thanks bless you mister
Thank you! This makes sense…I will have to analysis my own spending habits!
Good infomation.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿❤️🙏🏿Thank you🙏🏿
I think it's a lower quality content than usual on TED.
Lol I’m already in debt up to my eyeballs but thanks I guess
Maybe tracking will help control future spending and help with saving more money to pay off your debts
I thought this was Kobe Bryant for a sec 😭
Clicked on this video just to see if anyone else thought the same 😭, got me spooked for a second until I actually looked lol!
follow the money
I’m like 1k behind on bills and I am so depressed. I can’t see a way out, I hate my self, I hate living. I just can’t get out from under this

Great!
Tracking expenses, affects how you spend. So it never works for me, I just spend less when I know I’m watching myself. So I don’t get useful data.
Hmm, true knowing would affect. Do you use card by chance? You could just keep a journal of how you felt through out the day and at the end of the month relink your emotions with your bank statement. Maybe this loophole may work or lead to one that fits for you
So you can do that permanently and not need to gather data
@@issecret1 lol that’s so true
So tracking your spending is still helping you save money, but not in the way you expected :)
I am the 2nd one✌️
