I refuse to eat out. I think that eating out on any level is one of the biggest wastes of money out there.

The gist of “I Will Teach You to Be Rich” from Ramit Sethi (vol.39)

Why do rich people tend to be conservative? One of the conservative financial investments is bonds. Bonds are safe and low-risk investments guaranteeing a rate of return. In several statistics, the bond proportion of a portfolio increases with age.

Hi! I was wondering if you have a one-stop place to learn financial literacy you recommend?

Yep! Our grand list of all articles is a good place to start. Or you could go through our master posts:

{ MASTERPOST } Everything You Need to Know about Saving Money and Being Frugal 

{ MASTERPOST } Everything You Need to Know about Getting a Job, Raise, or Promotion

When it comes to financial literacy, you have to keep in mind that a lot of it is a trap to get you to buy something. Beware the Dave Ramsey/Suze Orman/Robert Kiyosaki industrial complex.

That's literally why we do what we do: we don't think people should have to pay a ton of money to eek out a tiny bit of understanding of the rules of our patriarchal capitalist hellscape. That's why BGR runs primarily on donations. We could make a lot more money if we charged fat bucks for our information or kept upselling folks to our next ~*~wealth-building seminar~*~.

Instead, we humbly ask that if we've helped you out, you tip us here on Tumblr, join our Patreon, or throw a few dollars our way on PayPal.

Why was that Suze Orman hair EVERYTHING?!?!?

Suze Orman suggests collecting your pennies from around the house, finding a gullible child and trading individual pennies for dollar bills — because pennies are heavier and therefore more valuable (wink) — and using the dollars to buy underpants for the underpants gnomes she manages.

Don't think you are depression-proof. Plan ahead for hard times and practice. You won't be disappointed. Living hand to mouth eventually gives you a can-do attitude that can be a lifesaver. Even if you have to give up your home, you will still have one.

Whether by choice or necessity, living in a car (other than an RV) will be even more challenging than living in an RV; space and basic amenities being the main factors. First on the list of preparations is to prepare it for an Emergency as any good prepper would do. Then consider things like, efficient use of available space, locations to park/rest, camping/cooking/sleeping setup/equipment, personal care products and staying clean, seasonal clothing, food and drink, privacy from prying eyes, communications (cell phone, WiFi/hotspot), staying warm and keeping cool.

Nearly two-thirds of millennials say spending $7 on their daily cup of coffee brings them ‘joy’ — but Suze Orman has compared it to ‘peeing $1M down the drain.’ Who’s right?

The Verge: Pushy checkout screens are helping ‘tipflation’

Tipping is an age-old American debate. How much do you pay and when? Is it a choice or an obligation? Generally, tech has at least made it easier over the years. Smartphones made it a breeze for friends to whip out a calculator to figure out tip and split the bill. And now, checkout screens everywhere, from in-person stores to delivery apps, have added buttons designed to make it easier for you to tip.

That’s convenient, until it’s not. According to a new Pew Research Center report, tipping culture in America has seen a shift in recent years. Seventy-two percent of Americans say tipping is expected in more places than five years ago. Not all of that is tech-related, but it’s hard to deny the role checkout screens have in tipflation. Even the Pew Research report notes the practice of tipping “is undergoing significant structural and technological changes,” including “the expansion of digital payment platforms and devices that encourage tipping.”

On days I go to the office, I occasionally treat myself to a latte at a local coffee shop. It’s all good, until I’m paying. A part of me dies at the fact a small latte is now around $9 in Manhattan. The anxiety seeps in when, after I’ve tapped my card against the terminal, it asks me how much I want to tip — 20 percent, 25 percent, and a higher number that I’ve blocked from my memory. There’s an option to not tip or to enter a custom tip, but those are smaller, and pressing those buttons fills me with anxiety that I’m a bad person.

Most recently, a finance bro behind me sighed because I was taking too long to figure out the custom tip interface. I ended up pressing the 25 percent button in a social anxiety-induced panic. Or $11.25. At that price, I regretted the latte, and in my head, I heard Suze Orman’s specter haranguing me for having my millennial treat.

Self-service kiosks occasionally ask me if I want to tip, too. The audacity to even ask is staggering. And even if most people pick “no tip” in that scenario, muscle memory and social programming may mean someone accidentally does tip.

How much of these tip prompts actually goes to the people you intended to tip?

Screens make all this easy partly because it cuts out the math. You just press a button that automatically adds on a percentage or, sometimes, a dollar amount. It’s all built into the regular flow of checking out, and you don’t have to rummage through your wallet to add to the tip jar. The thinking — whether it’s about how much you can afford or how it affects your total — is meant to go out the window. It’s similar to online or in-app shopping — just press the button and move on.

It’s common knowledge that service workers generally prefer direct tips — either handed to them or sent via Venmo. But where does that fit now that cashless payment options and checkout tip prompts are more commonplace? It’s very easy for a business to add these checkout screens to their systems and to set the lowest “easy” option at a price that may be higher than you want to give. They also often make it harder for you to choose an alternative to the preset options.On these screens, the “no tip” or custom options are either smaller or lower down on the menu. And while no one is forcing you to do anything, there’s a gentle persuasion happening that doesn’t always feel right. With DoorDash, if you don’t pre-tip, you now get a warning that your food may be delayed. That makes sense if you view tipping to be an obligation rather than a choice — but for those who view tipping as a reward for good service, it can feel like extortion, too.

Wherever possible, I still try to tip in cash. At my local ice cream shop, it warmed my heart this past summer to stick my dollar in a jar labeled “Help me fund my study abroad to Italy.” It felt a lot better than a digital prompt.

Hi I make $5

Suze Orman: You're SLACKING! YOU SHOULD BE SAVING TWO OF THOSE DOLLARS EVERY DAY!

Jim Kramer: Oh my God guys it's a buy on Tesla (hits buttons that play bull and car crash sounds) at only $212 a share it's a complete steal. I KNOW everyone complains that all my stock predictions are wrong, but this CEO could literally be the smartest guy in history (plays foghorn sound).

Me: I haven't left the house in two weeks because everything costs money.

Mom: I can't believe you bought a coffee for $5 !!!! You could have just sat in the park!
