Change Your Mindset, Change Your Money

Below you will discover 15 hacks on how to get rich. They work each and every time they are tried. Imagine what kind of life you can live with a little willpower and determination. Ready? Let’s go!

1. A Richer Life Starts with a Saving

Where do you begin? The richer life starts with you putting money in the bank. Try this: transfer 10% of your freshly deposited paycheck into your savings account before any of your usual spending. This money-saving trick prioritizes your emergency fund before all other expenses. When building your savings becomes your money’s priority, you’ll start seeing real results.

2. How to Live on 90% (Hacks To Make It Happen)

When you spend less than you earn (save 10% first and live on the remaining 90%), you aren’t living paycheck-to-paycheck. Your money will grow every month. But when expenses are tight, living on 90% can be tough. Here are a few ways to  cut expenses painlessly each month so that you can live comfortably on 90%. 

Pro tip: Shoot for living on 80% of your income (save 20%) if you can. It’s a practice recommend by Senator Elizabeth Warren, and it will put you on a rocket set towards the rich life.

3. Watch Your Money

Be intentional with your spending. Know where your money is going at all times. If you’re not actively monitoring your money, it will work against you. 

Grab your husband, open up your bank statement, and list out your expenses. Create a financial plan that allows you to live on 90% of your income. Start to really live by creating an action plan for your money (aka a budget) so you can finally get ahead.

4. Earn Automatic Cash Back

Credit Cards = Free Rewards

Shop with a rewards credit card (pay it off every month), and everything you buy earns free cash back. You can easily earn 1-2% cash back (or more) on every purchase with a rewards card.

Pro tip: save your points to pay off your statement balance. It takes time (about 2 years), but it feels great to pay off a full month’s credit card bill (a full month’s worth of expenses!) using free money.

4. Time To Knock Down Debt

After you have built up a nice emergency fund with 3 to 6 months of expenses, it’s time to aggressively pay down your debt. Take the 10%-20% you had been using to build your emergency fund and put all of it toward debt. Keep paying the same amount toward your debt every month, and start with your smallest debts first.

5. Invest in Your Future

Start investing. Don’t let your money sit around not collecting interest. A Roth IRA offers you an ability to invest after-tax money now, and the big benefit is when you withdraw it in your retirement years, the money will be tax-free. While the stock market goes up and down, it generally follows an upward trend.
