Discovering Your Bare Ass Minimum: Taking Control of Your Financial Health and Lifestyle #realestate
Dustin Serviss is a financial advisor who believes in taking a practical approach to personal finance. He emphasizes the importance of understanding one's "Bare Ass Minimum" (BAM) expenses, which are the essential costs required for a person to live. This includes necessities like food and housing payments, excluding luxury items such as expensive purses or extravagant travels. Dustin encourages individuals, regardless of their financial status, to examine their expenses and evaluate whether they align with their goals and values. To practice what he preaches, Dustin and his wife annually review their last three months' worth of visa statements to gain a clear understanding of their spending habits without judgment or accusations. Through these exercises, Dustin aims to help others make informed financial decisions and achieve financial stability.
