Some people are very good at saving money and have a high savings rate, while other people are very bad at saving and have a low savings rate or do not save anything at all. People who have trouble saving often don't understand the reasons why they are unable to save. In this video, I share 10 common reasons why people can't save money.
1. Not Having Money Saved
It's hard to save money when you don't have money saved because when a surprise expense comes in life, you're easily knocked down and have trouble getting ahead. Once you are behind financially, it is very hard to get back ahead. If you don't have money saved, it is important to take drastic measures to save money because until you have money saved, it is very hard to save money.
2. An Expensive Car Payment
Cars at the number one wealth killer because they are so expensive. The average monthly payment for a new car is over $700 and for a used car is over $500. It is important to not fall into the trap of getting an expensive car payment because they prevent you from being able to save more money.
3. Not Buying Quality
Although it is important to not overspend on an expensive car payment, it is also important to not under spend and get a bad quality car that causes you a bunch of problems. Many people will buy bad quality things and then constantly have to pay more because of the quality.
4. Being House Poor
The biggest expense in most people's budget is their rent or mortgage and the rule of thumb is that your rent should not exceed 30% of your income; however, many people spend more than that on their rent and are unable to cover their other expenses and save. This is called being "house poor." Many people are house poor where too much of their budget goes to their rent and they're unable to save.
5. You’re Living Alone
The reality in today's housing market is that most people are unable to afford keeping their rent under 30% of their income unless they live with other people. Living alone is very expensive because you have to pay for 100% of all expenses. Many people have trouble saving money because they live alone.
6. Your Vices Control You
Vices like cigarettes, beer, and lottery tickets often create many financial problems for people where even though they're struggling financially, they spend their money on these vices because they control them. Many people are unable to save money because their vices control them.
7. They’re “Unlucky”
Some people seem to run into more financial surprises than others and they often think it is because they're unlucky. Having bad luck over along period of time often means that they're are making bad decisions. If you always have bad things happen to you, look at your decisions and you might be able to save more.
8. You Don’t Earn Enough Money
Although it is important to cut out small expenses like eating out or switch to a low cost cell phone plan, the biggest factor that determines how much you can save is your income. If you are making a low salary, it is will be hard to ave no matter how many corners you cut.
9. You Don’t Have A Strong Enough Why
An important thing that motivates people to save money is knowing the reason they are saving. Many people struggle to save money because they don't have a strong enough why.
10. You Live A Chaotic Life
Some people are unable to save money because they live chaotic lives where they don't budget, don't have a plan, and are always stressed out, which causes them to spend more. If you life a chaotic life, it is important to make intentional decisions to bring order in your life so you are able to save more money.

I do not agree with your meat argument. In UK vegetables and fruits are very expensive, same as meat.
Because there's nothing but trash jobs out there. They want 2-5 years experience for entry level jobs and pay 10-15 an hour. There's also shit tons of ghost jobs. Hate being a millenial.
I have $1000 to invest is Charles Shwab a good broker for a beginner like me
Why are you repeating yourself throughout the video. Groceries are far more expensive and poorer quality. Okay pretty boy.
I can’t afford roommates. They have ALWAYS cost me money and I am NOT alone in this. In addition, most people are horrible to live with. Also, Dealerships are big scammers. Terrible advise.
Don’t play poker when a marked deck is in use. The guy ( employer) across from you with that pile of unsteady chips is sniggering at you and your pathetic five chips. You can’t win you will never win.
Do you need to open a Roth IRA to invest in an Index fund?
really enjoy your videos 😀
Great information
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Natalie Strayer
I'm surprised that you just mentioned Natalie Strayer here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
Natalie Strayer has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in Canada 🇨🇦 as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's
The very first time we tried, we invested $2000 and after a week, we received $9500. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
Her good reputation already speaks for her .I’m also one of the beneficiary of Natalie Strayer. So happy I gave it a trial after being skeptic of the process.
It’s Los vemos chico. In Mexican spanish you don’t seem to pronounce the V is that Ecuadorian spanish? Jc
Omg. You sang Kenny rodgers. That was great.
It takes money to make money!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 1OOOOO SUBSCRIBERS!!!
I once bought a nutcracker 😅 I look myself like a idiot each time I come across in the kitchen
Unlucky for life...can also be who and what you surround yourself. It may be the support/not group even if it just affects your confidence and/or outlook on life. Don't get rid of them or fight with them, they are quite comfy with this...find new friends, outlets. Maybe the sour apples will learn from your having "Enough!". You do not have to say anything to them actually.
Talk fast at the start & end, talk slow in the middle. Got it.
I love your blunt advice, especially get your s*** together.
I am not sure about this, if you have 100k, you shouldn't put all in stocks and you will not get a 10% from it. I'll say a an average return will be around 5%. Otherwise you are risking your whole net worth. So maybe this is true around 180k saved.
kiana rachel was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from kiana rachel.
success 200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 24k in last month 2024
You trade ?? Wow that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?
rachel approaches trading in a completely unique way. I'm puzzled by her methods. She just seems to have an innate understanding of this trading world
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
she's mostly on Telegrams, using the user name. ....
It's called the Greed of Capitalism !!! Will be the downfall of America !!!
The slaves in the south over 100 years ago realize that !!! Now everything's came to fruition !!! It's like the old saying goes ? You reap what you sow !!!

We're actually making less money ! Because of price of products and goods Has not kept up with inflation compared to wages !!!
That's the exact same reason why I retired at 51 years old from General Motors after 30 years and 5 months ! I got ZERO Respect from Management !!! And I can say I was an exceptional employee !!! Even skill tradesman that came up from Ford in Detroit , Couldn't couldn't believe how crappie General Motors treated their people !!!
GM always made “s**t cars anyway
This video feels like a scifi thriller of a post-apocalyptic Earth😮
Would love to see some fresh content…

Frugality lets you maintain a balance where only your priorities come first , leading you to a secure financial future. I am avoiding debt , saving and investing around 40 percent of my income. I have a high paying engineering job, and I live upstate MN. since covid 19 my expenses are extremely low. I have zero debt on a 7 figure portfolio, low rent and car paid off. So i can just save. feel lucky and grateful my fiduciary came into play.
I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment.. I always tell myself you don’t need that new Aston Martin or that vacation in Hawaii just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing.
Kirby please can i get your consultants info? or should i drop mine?
@@NamsaAlcantar Dianne Sarah Olson' is her name. In her area, people consider her to be a genius. Look her up; she's well regarded in her field.
i googled the lady you mentioned and she has a really impressive bio, i'm looking to make consultations myself
I don't know if I watch your channel for the information or for your wonderful humor. BOTH
Great episode! I really like your take on luck. We all feel unlucky sometimes, but this puts the whole thing into perspective. Thanks!
Workers are not quite quitters or lazy, the company makes them that way. I workaerospace and they turned me a lazy quiet quitter, I do the minimum required so I slow down when I’m ahead of production.
I worked in factory for 5 years for an American multinational medical device company in Ireland as line supervisor. Pay, benefits excellent for all employees way beyond what their American counterparts in a factory in California could expect. I was making 28% more than my counter part in California. Why ? Company took advantage of Ireland’s very low corporate tax rate. Meaning create great paying jobs for locals while we take advantage of your governments low tax rates. You guys in California = eat it. Never work again, folks for these vulture corporations. They roam the world like night time flying vampires looking to suck on an opportunity regardless of the resultant mayhem to people and society.
Can I look poor wearing my Prada Downtown Sneakers? Basically, my Prada sneakers resemble Nike Jordan's or Nike Dunks with the Prada branding. I bought them strictly for the quality of the leather. Nike is made of synthetic materials. If I wear non-brand clothes with my Prada sneakers, can I still have the appearance of looking poor? By the way, I'm not in debt and have a robust emergency fund. I do have 5 designer sneakers that I rotate. I bought all my sneakers on sale. Zegna $350, Ferragamo $167, 2 Prada sneakers $642 each, and Tod's $417 = $2390 with tax. Is this bad? By the way, my sneakers are non-outlet all purchased at Nordstrom.
One of the problems with American employers today is they consistently promote the reducers instead of the producers.
Ok just signed up for Mint - from ATT - 🤞
Dutch frugal here... Bought new Toyota in 2012 , hassle free , NO repairs , just maintenance as per the Law. Hybrid too. No worry , no banks , no hassle , no pretension , free and debt free , retired at 54 in communist gay losing merry old trashy Europe...bye...
Work culture is so toxic. At my workplace, all managers act like it's their personal company, not realising that everyone there is slaving for a corporation.
I have a cat. Already paid > 3 k€ this year for special food and vet.
Moroooon ccc....bye.
I have no car. When I get a car ride.....almost lime hang my head out the window with tongue hanging out!! Yep just like a doggie!
We serve the corporate overlords
it is not normal at all for a CEO to make x20 what his worker make not alone 87x or 399x
No. 1 Rule. Take care of your health and keep your wealth.
I set savings goals every year, but I always seem to fall short.
It could be a few things. Maybe you're not tracking your spending closely enough. Until you know where your money is going, it's hard to cut back.
Best video ever Austin! Thank you!
Legal fees to divorce a narcissist. That's why.
If I can get back to ZERO. it might work?
My jobs were sent to other countries. When I earned money, I was taxed to support people and policies that I oppose. When I became ill, I learned how inflexible employers can be. Now, I am "too old" and have too much experience or so I am told.
My rent is at 23% and since I live in one of the cheapest apartments you can get in my country, so I cannot lower that 😂
