My dad always said every lottery ticket you refuse to buy you won a dollar. 😂

I plan on retiring in 2.5 years when I'm 63. I've been working since I was 14, but I still don't feel like I deserve retirement. I want retirement and I'm willing to make the necessary sacrifices to make it happen. My kids are adults. I've been super frugal over the last decade and I'm not spending money on anything between now and 63. I haven't been on a vacation since before covid and that's not going to change until after retirement. I also have an 18 year old car. That's not going to change either. Sounds like a miserable life, but I have a nice, quiet, peaceful life. That's all I want in retirement as well.

Gen X has no fear... Nobody invested in junk; we are done and will get by.

I needed this message! Thank you Sherry! Access Denied is exactly what I need to program into my head starting today. I want to be different and not fall into this trap and further than I already have been!

Great advice! You covered this topic professionally. If you say you want use your money for a real escape and on things that give you freedom, be careful not to fall exactly in the trap you mentioned.

This is a daily struggle. Keeping the money in our own wallets vs them taking it.

"They make spending easier than not spending." YES!

Want to save so much money? Stop doing that food delivery shit! Paying $35 for a cold cheeseburger? No thanks, I'm good.

Such a great topic and necessary conversation !

Great message Sherry. I admit it, I can't wait to spend money on myself every payday, I spend it by automatically transferring some of it to my high yield savings account and my 401K. I've been keeping discretionary spending to a minimum where possible. I've been learning to ignore the marketing gurus, and things they tell me "I need". Financial planners do the same thing, you need to save more, "with them" of course. Everyone out there wants your money. We need to learn to turn off the messaging. Money spent now will rob you of your future self, that's the way I think. I have a good balance with financial choices, I feel. I look for ways to save more, and I don't feel deprived at all. The spending I do is on myself is for things like long walks and hikes, bike rides, enjoying the outdoors, maybe stopping for coffee or a bookstore, mostly free or low-cost activities. There is hope everyone!! I'll keep my 12-year-old car, 3-year-old iPhone, 8-year-old TV, they still work great. 🙂

Time, freedom and don't forget peace. True inner peace is priceless.

Another great vid, thanks!

I like Dave ramseys thing about when you don't have payments. . .you have more money . .and low payments help you keep your money so you can actually pay things off instead of stuck in a minimum payment cycle eating up all your income

Exactly! It is so convenient to spend I didn't realize until you brought it up. It started with arcades using tokens instead of quarters back in the 80s like Casinos. You won't feel every play, every bet. We spend but don't feel it. Rise up Gen X. Well done💪

It's easy to say when you're well to do. Everything is easy on paper.

Amen, I don't deserve anything. Living my life in total denial. I really cannot enjoy anything I feel I overpaid... and one other thing, anything I had that was nice, some bogert eventually came neandering around and ruined it.
