Picking up a 2nd job, not going out with friends as much and avoid making frequent 'empty' purchases (ie: expensive shoes and clothes) are examples of sacrifices you can make in order to reach your financial goals quicker.#4)  Start working towards your goal(s) as soon as possible.

That means you don't go out partying often, make your own food and coffee, buy used clothes, bike or walk to work instead of buying a car, create some side hustles to earn money instead of playing video games on your $2,000 machine, read books instead of watching TV, etc.There are 128 hours in the week.

Now our kids thats another story but none of them have large ones and they are hidden with basic clothing.  

My wife doesn't like real estate either, but you know what she does like- knowing the kids are fed, clothed, have options in life. 

Pack some cold weather clothes!

The current tenant has completely trashed his side, clothes/junk everywhere, Reeks of smoke (especially in the basement, has never cleaned a toilet in years it seems, and just renewed this supposed lease we never saw.)The rent for this whole property is supposedly is 850 and 875.We made our offer at 125k contingent on reviewing the lease agreement, property inspection, and including a new roof.

For a $70K house take one for $30K, a couple of $10s, a few $5s etc.Back in the '80 in Houston it helped to have a clothing "signal" so you could find each other, like trying to find a needle in a haystack sometimes.

While you may earn $$$$$ as part of your work, if you work long hours, have a long commute, posture with expensive clothes, your true earnings are less, $$$ or $$.So it's important to keep your relationship with money in the back of your mind in all your ventures.

We send our maintenance guy to inspect all clothes washer connections at  move in.

You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.
