I am assuming you do not include your investments in the $25,000 mark, correct?

Christine,

That’s right. This stuff works with a small income, an average income and a high income. For the low income, it gets you by without sinking into debt or more debt, for the average income, it helps you get ahead, and for the high income, it will fast forward you into a world you could only dream of.

Remember that income is only what you’re making today. You can always increase it.

I’ve been living on $25,000 or less for years now and I support a family of 3 It’s been a challenge but it’s also been fun. It has taught me to have only what I need, with a minimal of luxury items, and to think outside the box. I’ve raised both of my children this way.
Your ideas are excellent and are something for consideration no matter what a person’s income is

I was linked to you from jlcollinnh.

Your ten tips should be the 10 Commandments of smart money management for young people. Great stuff. I’ve never tracked my finances because I’m married and I do a lot of things I wouldn’t do if I was single.

My wife likes to spend money and I do that to keep her happy. Long story, but it works. Fortunately we can afford it and still save quite a bit.
