Nischa, those bars hit my soul, "If you give someone the power to feed you, you're also giving someone the power to starve you."

You dont't buy a house to build wealth. You buy a house because you want a place of your own with all the freedom and responsibilities that come with it.

I have been watching her videos/newsletter for the past couple of years and I now feel in control of my finances and SO much more confident about it. She is awesome. I work in finance and whenever people ask me about what I do with money I send them to her youtube channel. Thank you Nischa!

Buy your house & pay it off ASAP. I did that. Now I am free !!! If I was renting, I would still be renting.

I’m a hospice nurse and see people die every day, young, old, rich, and poor. don’t make money your whole purpose. Travel, buy the house or car you’ve always wanted. Most people’s only regret is not living more. Your kids will be okay—get life insurance if they’re young, but don’t wait your whole life just to leave behind money. Enjoy your time now.
