Quotes by Sam Beckbessinger (?)

“Credit cards are like alcohol: you’re borrowing tomorrow’s happiness for today.”
― Sam Beckbessinger, Manage Your Money like a F*cking Grownup: The Best Money Advice You Never Got

1 likes

“Stick to a simple, low-cost investing strategy. You should understand what you’re investing in. Find a single fund that’s already as diversified as possible, with the right amount of risk for your age. Vasbyt and stick to your plan, no matter what happens in the market. Don’t try to be clever: just add more money to your investment every month. Focus on reducing your costs, rather than on trying to beat the market.”
― Sam Beckbessinger, Manage Your Money like a F*cking Grownup: The Best Money Advice You Never Got
