I saved $12,000 last year using one ridiculously simple rule — and it had nothing to do with budgeting apps, cutting coffee, or tracking every penny. It's called the $5 rule, and in this video I break down exactly how it works, why it works (the psychology behind it is wild), and how you can start using it today.💰 The formula: Take the price of anything you want to buy, divide by 5, and wait that many hours before purchasing. That's it.$10 item → wait 2 hours
$25 item → wait 5 hours
$50 item → wait 10 hours
$100 item → wait 20 hours (basically sleep on it)
If you've ever looked at your bank statement and wondered where your money went, this video is for you. No guilt. No spreadsheets. Just one rule that adds friction between your impulses and your wallet — and quietly keeps thousands in your account.
