Awesome
Make sure to buy all the Avocado Toast you can before the shutdown!
Thanks for the Wonderful advice.
Wilbur Ross says selling an organ will help feed your kids… one way or the other.
The shutdown just ended lol
It's unfortunate that the day you put this out is also the day the shutdown ended
great video as always – what's the song at the end?
Not to be mister negative, but I think this shutdown has exposed just how unprepared the average American is for a financial emergency. Emergency funds should have been coming into use. I am thankful I started to get wiser with my money and am blessed to have one.
Lol video no longer needed the government is back up
I'm doing great. All the parasitic bureaucrats are suffering the way we suffer under their taxes and regulations and oppression
And for the future, do save some money please.
And of course 3 months after the shutdown these people will be going to restaurants, going out to the movies, etc. Instead of building an emergency fund
Quick, change the title to "How to Survive the NEXT Government Shutdown Financially"!
Credit Shifu have you ever thought about paying the balance to a 2.1 percent savings for 10 monthes or so and let it accrue interest and pay off the credit balance at the end?
Yay! Shutdown is over at least for 3 weeks.
5:03 lol wot 🤣
The timing of this upload…
Bad timing. Lol.
Good video as always.
I have to disagree with the stock selling advice though. The past price of the stock isn’t really relevant, is it? Today’s price is today’s price. If the government worker/ stock owner were able to reliably time the market he or she wouldn’t likely be in dire financial straits after missing a couple paycheques!
Too late.. shutdowns over. Lol 😂 crisis adverted.
Right after this video comes out, Senate approves bill to reopen the government.
Yes because more debt is always the answer. Backward thinking.
I think this video is actually perfect timing. Hindsight is 20/20. This prepares you for the next government shutdown. No one watching this video should struggle during the next government shutdown.
Altho its over. You could also consider taking a loan from your 401k
Here's some free advice. Have a friggin emergency fund.
Selling at a loss isn't the worst thing. It might lower your taxes and you can reinvest when the market is down. I believe this strategy is known as "tax harvesting"
The EBT card hobbyists are rejoicing
Can I have one of your larger wallets?
Each new day the shutdown continues leaves me more dumbfounded.
Awesome video! Very helpful even if you are not affected by the government shutdown… quick suggestion – hide all your cables from TV, will be much much better. Thx
Can you do one of these for surviving the Zombie Apocolypse?
Bank Americard no fee and zero percent interest on balance transfers for 18 months.
Can you please do a video on the best cc for rent a car benefits?? Thank you in advance.
The heck with this 'helping hand' nonsense for parasites with cushy jobs that spent all their money on Shake Shack instead of putting a few bucks into savings. "God helps those who help themselves." A quoted phrase attributed to the Bible that actually originated from Algernon Sydney in 1698 in an article titled, "Discourses Concerning Government." Talk about irony. I was homeless for 5.5yrs. No financial/housing/medical assistance available unless you are a woman or you have kids. Type 1 diabetes along the way. Bad disc in my back that needed surgery 3 times. Boo hoo. Nobody cares. Worked 2 jobs. Eventually started a small business. Paying off 4 houses in 2019. 22 credit cards with a total combined limit of 256k. Tough times don't last — tough people DO. The banks are merely protecting their own necks by giving people a glimmer of hope so they don't drift too deeply into debt and go the bankruptcy route.
