Got another save today.
Main Post:
Lady came in a little rushed, asking where the 'Apple cards' were. After showing her, I noticed she's on her phone, with a messaging app in clear view. She was looking at the different card amounts and appeared to be doing some mental math. As politely as I could, I said "I notice you're in a text conversation with someone, and if they're telling you to buy them large amounts of Apple gift cards for any reason, It's pretty certainly a scam." She said it seemed weird, and she was actually trying to buy something on facebook marketplace, and the other person started trying to get her to pay via Zelle (huge red flag), then said they could take the Apple gift cards and they would 'add them to their Zelle'. I told her Zelle was a favorite of scammers, and that they don't take Apple cards, and that Zelle was for transferring cash between known people. I told her she was best to pay cash in person, in daylight, in a public place like a police station. She told me about other irregularities as she was talking to them, and I told her I was sorry she had to find out she wasn't getting the item she wanted, but that it was undoubtedly a scam. She thanked me as she left without the cards, and wiser for better online shopping.
So, yay for another small victory.
Top Comment: On behalf of everyone who didn't fall for a scam today, I sincerely thank you.

Top Comment: Very nice song. Shaun shows off his vocal talent. Sometimes I wonder if even he knows how good a singer he really is.

What's your opinion on saving more for the future vs enjoying life now?
Main Post:
Hey guys. So I've always been a saver rather than a spender. Ever since I was a young I would always put money away for savings. I'm currently 26 with a net worth of $108K. $32K in my 401K, $26K in my Roth IRA, and about $50K in HYSA. I've grinded a lot at work and picked up side hustles to stash away this much. However, I don't really have any experiences to look back on in my life. The idea of FIRE really intrigued me when I learned about it. I understand saving more when you're young can have a huge payoff, but what's your advice on saving vs living life?
Top Comment: The word you are looking for is budgeting. When you budget you can both save for the future and enjoy the present.

How are you all saving money these days?

I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with stagnant wages, insane daycare expenses, and rising living expenses. How are you all saving money and making it work these days?
Top Comment: I’m not. I’m going into debt:) Saving for retirement and a little for college tho. But no savings account.
