    💰 ABOUT ME:
    People ask me this a lot: What do I do for a living? Here's the answer..I'm a magician. I am. For me, money grows on trees and is as abundant as raindrops falling from heaven. Yup...that's it, heaven grants me my wishes and my heart's desires simply because it is law. For real...all sacred texts say so...so why wouldn't YOU believe it to be true?
    But in layman's terms, I am a computer software engineer by day and a landlord of sorts. I also create RUclips content and these things are the bulk of my income.

    Like my dad would tell me. Don’t look at paying off your house like a liability. Look at it like you are stashing money in a savings account that will yield you a higher return in the future.
    I paid off my house and I don’t regret it one bit! You can have a paid off house and also have wealth. Keep pushing for your goals! 👏🏽👏🏽

    I was a stay-at-home mom married to an addict for 15 years and all of our money went to his addiction. On the other side of the divorce I had a house with $5,000 worth of equity and no retirement or savings. But I felt fantastic! Since then I have been playing catch-up with all my financial goals. As part of my job I frequently see other people’s hefty retirement accounts and think how far behind I am. Thank you for the reminder that for my personal situation, I am doing great!!!

    This comment made me sad because it made me think of my grandma. She is in her 80s and she is so concerned about leaving money to me. I have expressed to her many times grandma I don't need nor want your money as I have absolutely done well for myself because of her emotional support through the years. So at this point whenever my family vacations I bring her with us because while she won't directly enjoy the money at least this way she will indirectly.
    Also I do believe grandma did pass along generational wealth and while it wasn't a dollar amount it was the knowledge and financial principles necessary for me to do better in life. I am now actively passing that on to my kids and if I do it right they will do the same with their kids and thus generational wealth was created and it started with Grandma. This occurred whether she leaves a dime or not 💖 but that's my little opinion 🥰

    Whew chile this video hit home. Yes paying off debt is great. But there needs to be a balance. We are NOT on this earth to be a slave to a 9-5. We are here to LIVE. Yes we are to be good stewards of our money. Yes we are to be fruitful in that aspect. But it is not to be our life’s mission. What good is it to work your whole life paying debt when you take not one moment to enjoy the life God gave us. You can both be a good steward of your money AND enjoy your life. We all have different paths. I meant to add, I recently saw a video where a man died the day after he retired. Worked his whole life, did everything right. As soon as he reached the time to enjoy the fruits of his labor, he was GONE. 😢

    For others, it's never too late to begin this journey. I began mine at age 48 with big big debt. Fifteen years later all is paid off, saved lots, house paid off, and lots of travel and good living in between. Embrace the numbers, develop a plan, work the plan and enjoy life. It passes all too quickly.

    Hi Tinesha, long time subscriber but I rarely comment on RUclips videos. I liked your video today and have to say I have always considered my time watching you as “hanging out with a friend.” I appreciate how you set goals for yourself and adjust as needed - because honestly that’s what happens in the real world. And you’ve identified the priorities in your life and live (and spend) accordingly. I’m trying to align my spending with my priorities too. And I agree with you that doing so is GREAT! 😊

After 9 years of focusing on debt I am now living off of 10% of my income. Making 135-145k from main profession and side hustles and saving 90%of my income has been my focus for years but because it's my focus and what brings me happiness doesn't mean it has to be someone else focus or happiness! I love the way you live your life even if it's not the way I want to live mines! You are blessed and Unstoppable!!

The doctors just want to watch her for the next couple of years. We went to the mall yesterday and Thursday first time out since the surgery three weeks ago. I cherished those moments, and I plan to make more. A cruise is next, then France. Yes, France. I live paycheck to paycheck for now, but trying different online businesses.

    Preach girl!! America sold us this bulls*t dream of working until you retire then live. Live life TODAY like there isn't a tomorrow. I left traditional work because I felt it no longer served me and was getting in the way of my purpose: to live on my terms. I don't really care about money; I care about having life experiences so I can have something to smile about with my grandkids when I'm old. When I talk to elders I like hearing their life stories, not about how much money they have, or made, or what they did to earn money etc.
    Also, I know people who died young and all they did was work up until death. I know people who busted their ass to pay off homes, only to lose it due to unpaid tax liens, I know people who still have mortgages in their 60s dam near 70s struggling to pay it with SSN income. I have seen so much that has shaped my perspective. So, I align with your message. Keep moving forward.

    Whew, this was deep on so many levels. The concept and context of contentment, acknowledgement of loss and decisions surrounding them, and how other people can have a lack mindset that is projected onto others. When I say people cannot recognize the freedom marked by paying off debt, including a home. It’s like they think something is wrong with you. I’ve been advised to sell my house when it was a seller’s market, and told I needed to ‘upgrade’ my car, etc. FOR WHAT? They are PAID off! If people want to stay in the vicious cycle of debt, let them. As for me in my house, I am FREE, and that’s the ultimate upgrade. Now I can do ‘greater’ by investing and saving more, but statistics are proving that everyone isn’t making it to 67 to ‘enjoy’ retirement. If we can’t figure out how to enjoy life now, retirement is not going to change the dynamic. It is both a blessing and privilege to simply live…Honey, live and crush your goals simultaneously! Sorry for the long message.

    You are great! I brag about you like we’re besties. I’m an OG subscriber and the commenter doesn’t understand who Tinesha is. They don’t understand is that happiness is priceless but money is literally countable. I have never heard anyone who is truly happy say “I was too happy in my life,” while having too much can be a problem - look at lottery winners. Tomorrow is promised so we owe it to our ourselves and our ancestors to cherish each day and each other. I lost my nephew who was more of a little brother in his 40s. He would always say “I’m so happy.” He lived so we could celebrate his life. If we continue to wait for the perfect time, we will be buried in our grave and someone else will be enjoying what could have been yours. I’m gonna give the commenter grace because i doubt that she gives it to herself.

    Life is about balance. I agree with you, I love a good budget (and a good time), but just because you can always sacrifice today's joy for more money tomorrow doesn't mean you should. Balance. Life is not just a money optimization puzzle. I'm glad you got to go to Ghana with your friend and make those memories. My family went this year too and it was a good chunk, but I don't regret it at all. My husband's father (who lives there) is not young, why wait to see him? My mother and stepfather came along too, they won't be here forever, and for that matter, neither will I. We flew a nice class on the plane and stayed in a very nice and comfortable hotel, don't regret it a bit. We're not going to be destitute in retirement, and some things are just better done younger.

What matters is your plan that you have on your financial journey. If your plan is to be broke bad plan. But if your planning to pay off debt, invest and have financial freedom good plan. But along the way enjoy life also. My goal is to pay off my house thats what makes me happy its my choice. But my only debt is my mortgage and i am consumer debt free and able to save, and invest that makes me happy and building memories with my family. Great conversation do what makes you happy.

    Thank you so much for this video. Sorry for your loss. I'm starting over in my early 50s beating myself up from not being great., comparing myself to others. The peace I have is so much greater. I lost my dad's mom, my dad, and my grandmother in 30 days. There is a song out It's good to be alive but it's best to live! By Brent Jones I'm doing good keep pushing forward.

    This may sound like B/S but, the real generational wealth is the personal financial education that is past down and thoroughly understood from generation to next generations. Thats where wealth is maintained for centuries. The principles never change......thats why they are called principles.......TEACH THEM.

    You know what i think about paying off a low interest mortgage but at some point we all will have to pay off our homes and tbh as you get older it will be even more important to pay it off. Whether you do it 2 years from now or 7 years from now the difference is negligible in the grand scheme of things.
    I think everything that you're doing is perfect, and i wouldn't change a thing. You're living life, and have supportive family, and a job that you enjoy and are clearly good at. People are chasing a billion dollars and they dont even know why they are doing it. Its sad. You're incredibly successful to have owned at least 2-3 side business, and still have time to give to others. Keep up the good work! Ramit Sethi hasbthr perfect podcast that talks about this. People lack a vision of what they're life wants to be and how to get there. You're living your rich life now.

    At first I was on the side of the commenter saying that you could do so much more with your income, but I listened to your response and I think you are right. No one gets out of this life alive. Having a billion dollars doesn’t seem to make the billionaires happy. Bezos- divorced. Musk- 10 kid baby daddy who all his exs hate, Trump- gone straight crazy and self absorbed. Maybe having good experiences with the ones you love is better than a stack of money. I would like to have our house paid off so that we can reduce our expenses and save that $1,400 per month. That’s peace of mind. I don’t think the average person can build generational wealth the same way nepo babies can. I’m doing what I can to help my children graduate college with little to no debt. That’s the best I can do at this moment. My daughter is in her 3rd debt free year at a state school. I’m proud of that.

    • @FunandBudget
      @FunandBudget  23 дня назад +2

      I'm proud of that too because getting a degree without debt is no easy feat - especially when a lot of people treat schools the same way some treat name brands - will pay a lotta money just to say they went to such and such in such and such state when no job I ever interviewed for asked me where did I get my degree.

    The psychological benefits of a paid-off mortgage is enormous. I know that I could have put that money in the market and made more--possibly--but that wasn't a priority at the time. I started late in the market, but I am where I'm supposed to be at this point in my life. Tinesha, you do you and that's all that matters.

Also, being a billionaire doesn’t mean anything. I’ve met billionaires and one thing they all said to me is that being happy is the most important thing. This is real talk. I know a billionaire who said he would do anything to have a relationship with his kids. Financial goals are just a tiny aspect of life. As long as you’re happy, that’s what’s most important and you’re doing better than 95% of people
