1st Transportation:
– Being poor may mean you live in not the best neighborhood, those paying higher insurance fees
– You may not have a good credit score those paying more in financing a car
– I knew a poor man, and his car payment interest rate was about 18%, being poor means you don’t get the best deals
– And the cars poor people get, usually cars that tend to break down

Solution:
– Affordable, reliable beater vehicles are your saving grace
– People don’t have 20 or 25k to buy a car in cash but they do have $500 or $800 a month to spare on payments
– Be uncomfortable a little longer, on the bus or with that crappy car and save up 3-5k and buy yourself a good car that will last
– Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic are known to go for over 200k
– You won’t be riding in style but you won’t be emptying out your pockets on payments and car repair

2nd Household Good
– You know where all the pawn jobs, payday loans, and rent-to-own stores are at? In Hood in the poverty-striking communities, these businesses do one thing very well, they take advantage of the impatient people who need something
– Not just that but food, in some places you don’t have that much competition and you don’t have the time to waste it on traveling outside, so you pay what people want for bad quality food

Solution:
– Get very good at not spending more than you make, write down all your bills and your income
– Write down all the things you need and set up savings goals for them
– Also check marketplaces and eBay and Amazon, and compare prices and try to get the best deal possible. My friends bought a mattress worth over 1000 dollars for sure, for less than $200 on Facebook
– Meal plans help a lot with diets and money

3rd Housing
– You have more interest and rents can be higher a portion of your income
– I recommend you pay no more than 33% of your net income on housing cost
– You know how many people I know that this number is like 50% or even more sometimes

Solution:
– Single people rent rooms or get a cheap apartment
– People with kids look into trading a commute for a better place to live
– All people, compare and contrast all your options and be serious, yes I have 3 kids but we don’t need a 4-bed room house, stack them all up in one room
– But what about privacy, for what, they are kids

4th Health care and Childcare
– People spend thousands of dollars on two expenses and they think there is no way around it
– Let’s talk about the solution right away

For health: look into an HSA and High deductible health plan
– With this, you’ll pay a fraction of what you used to pay but will have to come out of pocket when something big happens up to a certain cap
– So invest some money into the HSA that grows tax-free to cover these costs when the time comes
– If surgery is going to be 100k and my limit is $5k and I already saved 10k its not a big deal you see
– And you’ll be saving $100s per month, so invest that
