Default How to save big by cutting the right stuff

Cutting out a latte here or a dinner there makes many of us feel like we’re making smart money decisions, but it’s the bigger, harder-to-make choices that will result in serious savings.

Read the rest of the story.

It never ceased to amaze me how so many people I encountered daily over the years that did not have the insight hence the capacity to manage their money wisely

I will stick with Duh Gomoho.
Money management should be taught in school. We knew of a couple that ate out every meal 7 days a week and went bankrupt twice. They told me they were just not good with money.
Yes there is a lot of dumb out there.

Here is a good example. Read this post.

It is on a forum of very young retirees and aspiring young people that hope to reach financial independence and retire at a young age.

Can't afford the gas to drive new $40K RV to local campground

Another Duh moment.
You get a ticket you go to driver school.
You go bankrupt you get a motor home.
Makes sense?

That's why I don't understand the "duh". Seems to me any information of this type is valuable and helpful and might just wake someone up to what they are doing wrong or allow them to pat themselves on the back for doing something right.

The Duh is mostly for Certified Financial Group. This is the best they can come up with for seniors?
This is stuff most parents tell their young kids.
