Have you ever felt guilty about buying a $5 latte, yet you ignore the $700 car payment draining your account every month? We are taught to obsess over pennies while we hemorrhage dollars.

In this video, I’m going to show you the 'Big Three' rule that fixes your budget instantly without forcing you to live like a monk."

Let’s look at the math, because numbers don't have feelings. If you cut out your daily coffee, you save maybe $1,200 a year. That’s decent. But if you trade in that SUV with the $800 monthly payment for a reliable sedan that costs $300, you save $6,000 a year.

That is five times the impact with one single decision. Most people spend their energy fighting a war against their own happiness by denying themselves small treats, while their structural expenses—the bills on autopay—are actively destroying their future.

Today, we are going to stop sweating the small stuff and attack the expenses that actually move the needle on your net worth."

In this video, I’m going to show you the 'Big Three' rule that fixes your budget instantly without forcing you to live like a monk.

0:57 We focus on the small stuff, the latte factor, because it feels manageable. It gives us a false sense of control. But while you're worried about $5, your structure expenses, the bills on autopay are actively destroying your future.
1:37 Let's talk about the big three. These are the three categories that consume roughly 60% to 70% of the average American's take-home pay. Housing, transportation, and food. If you get these three right, you can buy all the lattes you want.
2:10 When you spend half your income just to keep a roof over your head, you are what we call house poor. You might live in a nice neighborhood, but you're effectively trapped. You can't invest, you can't travel, and you can't take risks because the mortgage eats everything.
3:12 Transportation. The average new car payment in America is now over $700 a month. That is absolutely insane. You are signing up to pay a massive monthly fee for an asset that goes down in value every single day. If you invested that $700... in 30 years, you'd have over $1 million.
5:05 You need to make one structural decision to fix your budget. You don't need to make 1,000 small decisions about coffee every day. If you trade down your car, you free up cash flow instantly. Would you rather look successful to your neighbors or actually be financially free?
