GUESS HOW MUCH AN iPOD COSTS IF YOUFINANCE IT WITH A CREDIT CARD?One of the biggest problems with credit cards is the hidden cost ofusing them. It may be incredibly convenient to swipe your card atevery retailer, but if you don’t pay your bill the same month, you’ll end upowing way more than you realize. Take, for instance, an iPod. It looks likeit costs 250, but if you buy it using a credit card with the average 14% APRand a 4% minimum payment, and then only pay the minimum each month,you’ll be out almost 20 percent more in total.Let’s say you buythis . . .Paying minimumpayments, it willtake this long topay it off . . .You’ll paythis much ininterest . . . 250 iPod2 years 6 months 47 1,500 computer7 years 9 months 562 10,000 furniture13 years 3 months 4,062If you paid only the minimum monthly balance on your 10,000 purchase,it would take you more than 13 years and cost you more than 4,000 ininterest alone. Remember, this doesn’t even factor in your “opportunitycost”: Instead of paying off a 10,000 sofa for 13 years, if you’d invested thesame amount and earned 8%, it would’ve turned into about 27,000!

PRIORITIZING YOUR DEBTHow itworksWhy itworksSnowball method: lowestbalance firstStandard method:highest APR firstPay the minimum on allcards, but pay more onthe card with the lowestbalance. Once you pay offthe first card, repeat withthe next-lowest balance.Pay the minimum on allcards, but pay more onthe card with the highestinterest. Once you payoff the first card, repeatwith the next-highest-APRcard.This is all about psychologyand small wins. Once youpay off the first card, you’remore motivated to pay offthe next one.Mathematically, you wantto pay off the credit cardthat’s costing you themost first.I Will Teach You To Be Rich: Chapter 1Ramit Sethi

CHEAP PEOPLE VS. FRUGAL PEOPLECheapFrugalCheap people care about the costof something.Frugal people care about the valueof something.Cheap people try to get the lowestprice on everything.Frugal people try to get the lowestprice on most things, but arewilling to spend on items theyreally care about.Cheap people’s cheapness affectsthose around them.Frugal people’s frugality affectsonly them.Cheap people are inconsiderate.For example, when getting a mealwith other people, if their foodcosts 7.95, they’ll put in 8,knowing very well that tax and tipmean it’s closer to 11.Frugal people know they have topick and choose where they spendtheir money. If they can spendonly 10 on lunch, they’ll orderwater instead of Coke.Cheap people make youuncomfortable because of theway they treat others.Frugal people make you feeluncomfortable because yourealize you could be doing betterwith your money.Cheap people keep a running tallyof how much their friends, family,and coworkers owe them.Some frugal people do this, too,but certainly not all.Because of the fear of even oneperson suggesting they spent toomuch on something, cheap peopleare not always honest about whatthey spend.Neither are frugal people.Cheap people are unreasonableand cannot understand why theycan’t get something for free.Sometimes this is an act, butsometimes it’s not.Frugal people will try as hardas cheap people to get a deal,but they understand that it’s adance, and in the end, they knowthey don’t intrinsically deserve aspecial deal.Cheap people think short term.Frugal people think long term.I Will Teach You To Be Rich: Chapter 4Ramit Sethi

LIFECYCLE FUNDS AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST ASYOU GET OLDERHere’s a comparison of two popular lifecycle funds. These funds targetroughly the same age—someone in his or her twenties—and assumeretirement at age sixty-five. You should pay special attention to the minimuminitial investment (it matters if you don’t have a lot of money lying around)and the asset allocation, which will help you determine which fund most suitsyour risk tolerance. Remember, these are only two example funds; you canchoose among many lifecycle funds offered by companies like the ones I liston page 187.Vanguard TargetRetirement 2050(VFIFX)T.
