Great Advice!

Putting away 10% into a tax-deferred retirement account is the best way to acheive wealth.

Also try and ask for a discount on everything you buy. I always try and usually get atleast 5% courtesy discount, especially on big ticker items.

“Put 10% of your earnings straight into an index fund.” — Interesting. I’ll put 10% (or more) of my earnings into growing businesses, making the S&P’s 8-12% a year look pretty low. Giving it to a fund allows other people to make money off of your money. Building a business grows that money 30% in 12-months easily, and you build value in a company that you can eventually sell or turn into passive income by allowing others to run the company. So I think it’s interesting that as CEO of MyMint, this is your best advice when in fact, you manage MyMint. Ultimately, I guess the only way to be convincing of these types of opinions is to open up our raw financials and use that as a scoreboard.

Aaron, you should take a look at 0% 0-fees balance transfer cards. When you have car or home loans these balance transfers can save you a fortune.
For instance I took a 30K+ car loan and paid just $800+ interest. And could pay even less if Mint would be able to suggest such cards 3 years ago and I wouldn’t be so workaholic .

Also, in a long term it’s much better to stick to proven financial institutions. Hassle often cost more than magic benefits of newcomers.
