A definite check for me, on all the points above.

My parents didn’t give me or show me ANY money habits, and luckily that was what pushed me to learn all of that on my own before it was too late (like at the age of 65, about to retire).

Kevin,

This has nothing to do with the article but you have to check out the iron-less dry clean free shirts from Brooks Brothers. They are amazing and never have to be pressed or dry cleaned! Couple bucks more but not much more – will make your money back in a couple months vs. buying a new normal shirt.

Good article. I spend way too much money on dry-cleaning. It drives me freaking nuts. I work in an office every day but its only a few times a month that I actually see clients so I try and make the argument that I don’t need to “dress up” every single day. The argument seems pretty futile tho w/ my company…

My favorite money habit is to “go broke to win big” as I write on FS. The idea is to flush all your money away to different banks so you’re left with razor thin cash flow. This forces you to know exactly where your money is and live within your means.

If you work in finance for example, you could have a decent $120,000/yr salary. But, it’s the multiple bagger bonus you are hoping for. That has always got to be saved. Spend your salary, save your bonus!

See you over at FS one day!
