How To Save Money: I Saved $100k In A Little Over 3 Years!

PLEASE READ THIS: In this video I'm sharing the details of how I was able to save over $100,000 all without earning a six-figure salary in a little over 3 years including starting a side hustle to increase my income.

I'm sharing my story and what I did with the hopes that some of what I did to save might be useful to you on your own journey.

I talk about the details of my salary, my raises, my side hustle (which I started to earn more money), how I cut down on my expenses, where I put the money e.g. retirement savings, cash savings, etc in the video so please watch video in its entirety and if you'd like to check out the actual blog post for more detail the link is below.

I did not have any student loans, because my mother worked SUPER hard to be able to send me to college debt free. This was a "gift" from my mother that I have never and will never take for granted. She did not have to do that for me but she did (there are a million other things she could have done with her money including adding it to her retirement savings), and I intend to do the same for my own children in addition to taking care of my parents.

Now, as a financial educator, my goal is to share my own stories to help/motivate/encourage others while teaching financial wellness. My story is NOT for everyone and NOT everyone can relate to it, however, it's important to think about YOUR OWN personal situation to determine what can you do differently and what can you sacrifice to accomplish your own personal money goals whatever those goals might be.

I will also add that my story is NOT unique and me saving this money is NOT an exception. Just listen to the Dave Ramsey show or other popular finance podcasts or browse other savings stories on YouTube.

It's all about what you do with what you have. There are a ton of people I know who made twice as much as me during the same time and barely saved anything and if they had student loans or other debt did not pay much towards their debts. I made the choice to take advantage of the opportunity I had, while I had it.
