Warren Buffet offered two smart money strategies recently:
1. Eliminate all credit card debt. Only buy what you can afford to pay for today.
How simple is this? You’re probably ready to click off. But, wait…..
This tiny, seemingly overused strategy can be the difference between living paycheck-to-paycheck andamassing wealth. In today’s society, it appears as if you can’t live without a credit card. And then, all of a sudden, you’re bill is larger than your wallet. Thus starts the downward trajectory into debt.
If you exercise a small amount of discipline, buy only what you can afford to pay off in a month, you are on the path to financial security.
A simple trick to avoid overspending on your credit card: implement a 24 hour waiting period before buying. It’s surprising how many must have’s fade into the background after a few hours.
2. Dollar cost average (put a small amount of money into your investment account every month) into diversified index funds.
This simple strategy toautomate your investing, can be the difference between financial security or not.Dollar cost averagingis a fancy way of stating, set up an automatic transfer from you paycheck or checking account into an investment (or 401k) account. Direct those monies into low cost index funds.
Over time, these seemingly small transfers grow into a large nest egg.
These two simple strategies can lead to financial security and independence.
