Just Keep Buying
Author – Nick Maggiulli
Amazon Rating – 4.4/5
Goodreads Rating – 4.1/5
Summary of Just Keep Buying
One thing we often hear from personal finance “gurus’ and even from our elders is to cut down your expenses.
However , the time is changing and so do our teaching. Just Keep Buying is that new prospect of money and finance in life that anyone must know.
As the Author Nick Maggiulli explains in his interview “”I think financial media beats up on people. There’s a lot of guilt out there, whether that’s ‘you have to work 24/7’ or ‘you need to cut your spending drastically.'”
He continues “the biggest lie in personal finance is that you can cut your spending to build wealth.
“Cutting spending is a short-term solution. The data is evident: the most reliable path to building wealth is to grow your income.
“Don’t get me wrong; some frivolous people should not be spending the way they are. They probably need a little guilt.
“Cutting your way to wealth just doesn’t work. If it did, we would see the savings rate increase to 10% or 15% consistently, regardless of income level, but it’s not true. Savings rates clearly go up as income level goes up.”
Nick suggests to have a mind-set of increasing your income over the time , rather than keep cutting your expenses.
Isn’t that a fresh prospective?
Why you should read it?
