Episode notes
Rescued Horse Adds Recurring Costs
- Peter and his girlfriend rescued a horse that is older and arthritic and is kept as a pet rather than an income asset.
- The horse requires ongoing care like massages and boarding, adding recurring expenses to their budget.
Early Quad Purchase Diminished Savings
- Peter bought a quad at age 20 for about $9,000 and later consolidated loans to cover vehicle repairs and that purchase.
- These early consumption decisions increased debt and reduced his emergency savings from $7,000–$8,000.
Track Every Dollar With A Budget
- Do track your income and expenses with a budgeting app like Monarch or YNAB to find missing cash flows.
- Do build a monthly budget and reconcile accounts to stop $5,500 from disappearing each month.
