I took a 25-year house mortgage of 260K and paid off in just 4 years paying only 21K total with interest.
How I did it? During the four years that I’m paying for my house, I stopped eating and drinking coffee outside, and did not go on vacation, stopped paying for a house cleaner, I do it myself instead. Anything I need to buy has to be on sale, or I won’t buy it. I kept my wardrobe for 4 years and did not buy new clothes ( I don’t really need to ). I share my car with my friend from work to save on gas. Doing all that and more, I was able to pay 10% more each year to my mortgage which is 35K direct to the principal.
Very happy with myself and now I’m learning how to invest in the stock market and my goal is to generate a substantial income for my golden age:))-

Just wanted to report back after a week of taking Megan’s advice on using tomato-timer.com – this thing has transformed my daily work schedule. My company thanks you!! I plan to keep using it for the foreseeable future!

J-Money, if you can track down Samantha Z., let her know that Coinstar has an option with no fee if you get paid in a gift card. Amazon is one of the options and at this point an Amazon gift card is basically cash money ;)

In reply to Minimise With Me. Starting a blog was what got me to stop shopping as much :) I was so busy keeping up with it all that I didn't have time to aimlessly throw my money around, haha...

In reply to Chris. Totally! Really can't go wrong at all with that mentality, and probably affects all different areas of your life whether you realize it or not :)

Great post J, really enjoyed it. Loved the tip of budgeting so much you have no time to spend money haha I do that one a bit. And the two minute hack is great. Going to give that one a go

Man, being “nice” totally makes sense. This actually reminds me of a coworker who constantly goes around to just say hi. At times I’m thinking he’s going to ask for a favor, but he’s only stopping by to say hi.

I’m betting my coworker has seen his salary increase! I’ll definitely start being more out there with people. Not for the money, but for the feeling I’ll get for making people’s day.
