Money Saving Tip for Cold-Hearted Dads:

Warning… this one is HARSH (on the kids)

When my son was 3 years old, he started to recognise the “Ice Cream Van” music.

“Daddy! The ice cream van is here!” he cried out in sheer joy…

Only to be met by my “Sorry mate, that music means they’ve sold out”

🤣🤣🤣

Literally, all 3 of my kids believed for over a DECADE.

We only told them the truth because we thought they’d figured it out.

They hadn’t!

🤣🤣🤣

Must have saved us hundreds over the years.

Please tell me you (or your dad) did something like this…

[Carl | Money Saving Dad @KeepyCash]

@JHWealthSystems Big time!

[Carl | Money Saving Dad @KeepyCash]

If people think you're rich…

You have a spending problem

@Budgetdog_ "Clarity is power"

Someone much smarter than me once said that.

Always stuck with me

@The_MMW Quick tip to live below your means:

Use a budgeting and spend-tracker app

A good one will help you create the habit of keeping money

@thsterlingbrief 😆 I literally just wrote an article about how the stole 2 payments out my account!

@finvibe Which is the most valuable?... 🤔

[Carl | Money Saving Dad @KeepyCash]

@finvibe Yes! Aint what you earn, it's what you can keep!

[Carl | Money Saving Dad @KeepyCash]

@MoneyQuotesX It's OK to still want lots of something that isn't "everything," though!

Plus, when you diminish the importance of money, you don't treat it with enough respect.

You spend more.
You don't track it.
You lose more without knowing.

Respect money, and treat it well

@aurumfinancial @GuyTalksFinance Nice Henry Ford quote! (I think it was him, right?)

[Carl | Money Saving Dad @KeepyCash]

@GuyTalksFinance My tip:
Just start with one thing.

I tend to fail if I try to change too many things at once.

But, when I focus on just one thing, I succeed.

Then, when your new habit is formed, add in the next thing :)

[Carl | Money Saving Dad @KeepyCash]

@theficouple Just want to say that you can still be doing great without those things.

Yes, it'd be awesome to have them all.

But if you don't, that doesn't mean you suck.

You can be happy while having an alarm clock (most people have one!)

@robprogressive rarely does a government make sense

Get good at earning and keeping your money

[Carl | Money Saving Dad @KeepyCash]

Don't expect the government to bail you out.

Earn your money.
KEEP your money.
Invest and grow.

Death in poverty wasn't it @alexgroundwater ?

@moneysavvyangel Sometimes, it's just simple habit-forming that bridges that gap

[Carl | Money Saving Dad @KeepyCash]

@theficouple I'd only take that private chef if they do the washing up too!

[Carl | Money Saving Dad @KeepyCash]

Governments have the same money problem as most other people:

Horrible spending habits.

Ain't what you earn, it's what you can keep.

HOWEVER - Governments should not have the same spending habits as a regular working-class family.

They should do better. Much better.

Jeff Bezos: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."

[Carl | Money Saving Dad @KeepyCash]

@SteveOnSpeed Same problem most people have.

Earning it is one thing, keeping it is another.

However, a government should have this nailed down
