There is a lot of financial advice out there, and sometimes it’s really hard to sift through all the voices. But the beauty of personal finance is that it’s personal. You do what’s best for you. While I respect the expertise of many in the community, I also like to do things in an unconventional way. Here are my 6 unconventional money tips:

1. Don’t Buy a House

For some reason, I am unable to comment on the Vosa site; it’s weird…. 🙁 Anyways, I liked your post and thought it was interesting what you said about not buying a home. Having to go through selling my house because of financial difficulties several years ago, I understand what you are saying. Being a homeowner is not all it’s cracked up to be…

Sorry about that! Glad you commented here though. That sounds tough to have to sell your house because of financial difficulties, but I know you were not alone in that.

Sounds interesting tips. Yet here in country we really need to own a house. Invest a house or etc is really not particular here. People do usually buy a lot and build their own house.

I like everything that you said and was even nodding my head in agreement especially about taking care of one’s self. However, if I may share, while I focused on making more money some time, it also helped that I cut back on some expenses. But then again, that may be a case to case basis.

I think making more money should be in conjunction with lowering expenses. I am not into drastically cutting them out, though, as that feels like dieting. I think doing both is ideal, but I’d like to focus the majority of my energy on making more.
