      for
      hard-working students who watch all the videos and do all the homework.

    Legal! Thank you for the video Erika! I think keeping up with the joneses is the worst mistake because people think their peers look down on them for not having x,y,z thing when they really don’t. Instead of bettering yourself, you’re bettering people’s short term opinion of you.
    Another thing that helps for me when there are market downturns, I look at the percentage instead of the dollar amount since the percentage is probably going to be a much nicer number.

      Dollar value, does not matter, what matters are your percentage returns. Example, you have $1,000 and you buy a small percentage of Bitcoin at $60,000. You hold until the price rises to $75,000 and you sell. You just made a return of 25%

    Hi Erika. I must say that I like your video. What you make is good sense. I come from a family that buys more of their wants and not their needs. I've learned in the past to save myself from falling in traps like that. Yes as you know I am a guitar player and I'm not like the typical guitar player that has to have a new guitar every time I turn around. I only have 2 guitars and don't feel I need anymore. But every time around tax season there is always a musician trying to get me to buy more gear. I tell them no . I feel when your on a budget, be thankful with what you have. Don't put yourself in debt to please someone else. Money Does Not Grow On Trees. That is a song I wrote and play it out regularly. Thank you for this video. I miss watching you.

    Hey, to be clear. There are good people with nice houses and luxury stuffs. Hanging around them can be a good thing to learn about their mindset. Usually they are business owners, success professionals entrepreneur. Better than friends with poor mind that keep checking for cheap stuffs, wasting time with to return stuffs. Opposite with bad rich people that show off expensive stuffs, those people show off how they steal the deals with incredible price. And if you buy stuffs with higher price than them. You lost. Get away from those "money saving" people too.

    I can soooo relate to having expensive purses. I used to carry a $150 purses in high school when I was working part-time making only $8/hr. I’m so done with all that! Love your contents!!! Keep it up.

    It's really hard to save anything right now because I'm behind on everything except credit card which I don't use "yea", I'm behind on rent and a couple of bills because I was sick but I did beat Covid-19, so right now I'm playing catch up, but so you know your the best keep up the good work and videos.

    Legal.... What are some ways to avoid paying taxes on income from vacation rental homes? I plan on buying a few rental cabins in a vacation hot spot.
