5 Frugal Money Habits Americans Can Learn From Other Countries

5 Frugal Money Habits Americans Can Learn From Other Countries

J. Arky   Tue, May 7, 2024

When Americans travel outside of the United States, there’s often a lot of culture shock experienced. The food might be prepared in a unique way and taste the exact opposite of what it is like at home. The languages are obviously different. And the amount of money people spend in other countries for everyday basic items … might not be as much.

This could be due to the exchange rate differences, or, it could just be the frugal habits that non-Americans have adopted in their financial lives.

The U.S. is known for its capitalism, wealth and price tags galore, but that doesn’t mean everyone has to spend a lot of money to meet their needs. Here are five frugal money habits Americans can learn from other countries.

Daily Grocery Shopping

Lots of Americans take one day out of the week to hit up the grocery store and buy everything they’ll need for the next seven or so days. In other places, a daily trip to the market can lead to surprising results, especially in their home-food budget.

“In places like Europe and Asia, many opt for daily visits to local markets,” said Jake Claver, financial director at Digital Ascension Group. “Buying fresh and only what’s needed for the day not only reduces waste but often results in healthier eating and surprisingly, savings over time. Americans, with their penchant for bulk buying, could re-evaluate this strategy.”

According to Kelly Palmer, founder of The Wealthy Parent LLC, “Europeans also save money by focusing on quality over quantity, especially when it comes to groceries. In European cities, you don’t find the same huge grocery stores you do in the U.S. which leads to a smaller, more curated selection of quality food. A smaller store means Europeans tend to just buy what they need and not stock up on items that will be wasted.”

Sharing Resources

In numerous Latin American cultures and countries, multi-generational collaboration is considered a financial cornerstone for families, creating an intricate and stable financial ecosystem. In Peru, for example, there is a practice of forming communal saving groups called “rondas” where community members add a weekly or monthly amount of funds to a shared pool.

Per tradition, this communal account goes to one member at a time, rotating among the participants while promoting saving habits. It also reduces reliance on financial institutions while strengthening community bonds.

“Beyond shared living arrangements, the insight lies in understanding the financial ecosystem that emerges from multigenerational support,” said John Browning, founder of Guardian Rock Wealth.

“In various parts of Africa and Asia, community sharing of resources, be it tools, books, or even skills, is commonplace,” Claver added. “This collective mindset not only strengthens community bonds but greatly reduces individual expenses.

 It’s not just about pooling resources; it’s about creating a dynamic network of financial wisdom, shared responsibilities, and mutual support. Americans can explore the depths of this cultural approach, considering how intergenerational collaboration can go beyond mere financial advantages to create a resilient family foundation.”

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 5-7-24

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 5-7-24

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome, everybody tonight to the big call.  It is Tuesday, May 7th  and you're listening to the big call, wherever you're located around the globe. We're glad you're tuned in. Maybe the sat team or satellite TV has provided a link for you to listen to the call live in your own language around the globe or maybe you're just listening to English, and that's fine, either way. So we're excited to have you here. That'd be a really good call tonight.  And I'm excited to bring my part to you. But before we get there, let's bring the call in

All right, let's talk about where we stand right now. I want to put out something first of all that I heard about yesterday, I think it was - and that was people certain people are putting out stuff online. Somebody put something out about taxation, or this this would be a taxable situation for us  - it is not a taxable event. That was something that the Deep State has put out, and I think this was the fifth time they put that out. It's BS don't buy it - not a taxable event period. All right, I put that to bed.

The other thing, President Trump was seen in court today to be wearing a gold tie -  We heard this from our US base force contact – told us about this -  and this is highly symbolic - President tends to do things like that President Trump was communicating to us. We believe that we are back on the gold standard.

The USN is a gold back and we call it asset backed currency but it's highly backed by gold and we have a bunch of it. I don't even go into how much we have in this country, in the US. So that was a cool addition communication from President Trump.

All right, let's see let's go into what has been happening yesterday. and today. Let me first explain the concept of an introducer.

An introducer meant someone who connected a willing buyer and a willing seller to buy bonds or could have been an introducer that introduce someone to a bank that would do currency or take care of their currency – both of those cases we know  of  people who are introducers that receive emails today and yesterday, which told them that they would receive introducers Commission's and have availability to access those, I believe tomorrow, which is Wednesday. – That’s Right!  it's the eighth, eighth of May tomorrow. -- Just saying.

So those emails for those that were introducers to bonds, and sometimes currency exchanges in tgreat amounts – those went out  yesterday and today –

Alright, let's move beyond that -  staying on the theme of bonds -  from what we're hearing from the bond paymasters is that tomorrow, I believe it's in the afternoon - Typical bond holders of German bonds- Red Dragon -  yellow Dragon, so called Dragon bonds are to be emailed their notification that they've been waiting for just like we've been waiting for a notification. They're waiting for that notification to come in tomorrow.  I say fairly early, maybe after two in the afternoon.

 Now. What makes it interesting is these bond holders will receive these emails and enter information that they have already specific to their account username to their password to their email and forwards that back to the bank that's generating these emails. They will forward that back tomorrow afternoon  once they receive it -

Then within an hour or two after they send back the email to the bank - the bondholders / bond sellers will receive an email telling them the amount that they have in their accounts for the bond sale - the amount that they have in their account. And they should have access to that account tomorrow, late afternoon or early evening, tomorrow.

So that's a big deal – huge deal - For us and for them. Okay, that's that's the end of the bondholder information.

 Let's go back and recap something that we've been looking for in tier 4A  and tier 4B - we did on last Thursday's call acknowledge that we have the green light from the military to go forward with everything. That green light if I remember correctly, came a week ago Monday -  In other words not yesterday but a week ago. They got the green light from the military.

We're looking for 3 green lights – military -  Treasury – and Wells Fargo  in that 0rder  -  we did receive confirmation that we have the Treasury's green light in the last couple of days. I can't tell you exactly which day but we did get the green light from Wells Fargo yesterday at 1pm in the afternoon Eastern Daylight Time. So in other words, we have all three green lights now covered - military  - Treasury - Wells Fargo.

 So now where do we stand?  We – Lets talk about what's going on today and what will continue to go on until 1pm Eastern time tomorrow.

The banks are bringing all employees in the banks up to speed on what we're about to witness and it's called Currency Training  Protocols  - They have been teaching to get everybody down to the teller level. Which remember the tellers didn’t  know anything about this - . Most of them did not know what we know for years.

Remember that we were told lies from all the banks about what is we bought as an investment for years. Well, we knew eventually, everybody that was saying  “no”  would eventually be told “yes” -everybody in the bank that I know the teller level is being trained and brought up to speed on currency exchange protocols all the way up until 1pm tomorrow afternoon.

Why is that important? Because shortly after the protocol training  is over tomorrow at 1pm -  it was starting approximately two o'clock - We are in position to receive our email notifications from the Wells Fargo servers - Any time from we're calling it 2pm tomorrow which is Wednesday, all the way to 1030 in the morning On Thursday, the ninth  - Tomorrow's the eighth.

It's possible that we will get notified by our emails tomorrow afternoon -. I'm gonna say start approximately 2 pm -  all the way up until Thursday morning at 10:30am Eastern Daylight Time.

Now, my theory has always been whatever  time emails come out on the east coast at let's say whatever time that that would also be the same time in each time zone. For example, if they came out at 10 in the morning, and Thursday morning, for example, Eastern Time 10 in the morning, central time and in the morning, mountain time in the morning. Pacific Time, Alaska, Hawaii.

 So the reason I thought that would be the case and I've been told it was is because it staggers us, in terms of our response to the call centers that are regional throughout  this country.

And when we get an email – of course we’ll be excited , we'll be calling in to set our appointments. and the theory is probably our appointments would  start sometime Thursday. – It’s possible we could start, I guess Wednesday evening / Wednesday night -  it’s  possible. I personally think they may just take tomorrow to set appointments and exchanges to start on Thursday.

So we'll see. We'll see what happens. But the point is, it's really coming down to the wire. This is what we were looking for. We did get specific information that I just gave you from a redemption center leader and that was wonderful. Now what we need to do is stay vigilant. Keep an eye on our emails. And then we should be sending out our email when we get the word and get the number. We'll send out our email blast to the people that have signed up to receive the toll free number from the call universe.com from our website Bob and his assistant  Riely,  his IT person  will be  getting that out as soon as they can.

That the numbers that make but you'll find that those are probably a few different places. So we'll see how that shakes out. All right, so excited as to where we are With this information.

And we hope as always that the Intel just needs to be right one time now listen, we've been wrong before. I admit intel that we thought was spot on. Just did not come to pass. This is looking good. Why don't others what's different about this? We've got all three green lights now.

The bond producers receive their emails yesterday today. We'd like to bond sellers receiving their emails tomorrow afternoon and getting a return on sales tomorrow evening. Knowing how much they have an account that they have access to it.

And then there's the hearing we could be notified anytime after 2pm tomorrow but the bank employee training protocols when currency changes is complete by 1pm. Tomorrow, we're trading on it today.

And tomorrow. Everybody should be on the same page and we should get notified sometime after two tomorrow afternoon or by 10:30am Thursday morning. Eastern Daylight Time. That's a nice little window for us to get education to get everybody to just be calm. Use wisdom.

Enough let's do this. As you know we pray we call out let's pray the call out and let's look forward to this blessing in full manifestation.

Dollar In Terminal Decline; The "Experts" Are Failing Us | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  5-7-2024

Inflation is not going away, says Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin Precious Metals. He argues "this pipe dream of a soft landing and lowering rates is off the table."

The US dollar is in "terminal decline." While the US weaponizes its currency, other countries are slowly joining forces with one another and decreasing their dependence on the US.

The only way to fund the US's massive deficits will be to print currency as many nations stop buying Treasuries, he forecasts.

Tishwash:  88 projects awaiting resolution.. What will happen to the stalled laws in Parliament? - Urgent

Today, Wednesday (May 8, 2024), the Parliamentary Legal Committee revealed that there are 88 draft laws awaiting resolution, while it expected that the next legislative term will witness voting on many of them. 

Committee member Murtada Al-Saadi said in an interview with “Baghdad Today” that “the committee is continuing to follow up on the laws and their proposals, whether basic or subsidiary, by participating in them,” pointing out that “88 laws currently exist within the committee, including 15 basic laws, and the committee is working to complete them.” Its provisions will be approved to proceed to a vote. 

He added, "Many laws and their proposals were submitted to the Acting Speaker of the House of Representatives, expecting that the next legislative term will witness the resolution of quite a few of them, the first and second reading of which have been completed." 

He explained, "Some laws were withdrawn by the government, whether they had political or financial implications, awaiting their referral in accordance with the amendments it wanted in order to proceed with them."

On (April 18, 2024), a member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, Representative Omid Muhammad, confirmed the presence of 150 draft laws on the table of the permanent committees of the House of Representatives .

Muhammad said in a statement to “Baghdad Today” that “his committee is following up on draft laws and their amendments proposed by the permanent committees in the House of Representatives, which amount to 150 laws so far,” adding that “controversial laws need political consensus, but the file of the presidency of the House of Representatives is in the shadow of “The failure to decide whether to vote on a candidate will reflect negatively on the issue of legislation .”

He stressed "the necessity of proceeding with the legislation of controversial laws, including general amnesty, service, and others, without political consensuses that contribute to securing sufficient votes to vote on them, and this requires resolving the rest of the files in order to proceed with them," pointing out that "resolving the People with Disabilities Law and voting on it 3 days ago represents a step." An important task during the legislative term of the Council to resolve the rights of an important segment  link

“Coffee With MarkZ” Wednesday Morning chat 5-8-2024

Thank you MarkZ for all your time, and encouragement daily….. PDK

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good morning to all:  Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Member: There is sooo very much going on that I am shocked we haven’t gone yet

Member: it's my understanding we're next, it's just a slow crawl getting here. SECURITY is what the military watching and checking for. America is the largest group of currency holders.

Member: So what is new today- Hope something great!

MZ: The crackdown has been extreme on leaks …Which is probably the best news of the day. I personally think they are trying to keep things quiet right here at the finish line.

MZ: We have had banks this week who said they would never touch it and never do it- actively training employees on the currencies that we hold to exchange. This is an exceptional thing.

MZ: There are many rumors coming out of Iraq about the World Trade Organization and the ascension of Iraq. And the budget supposedly passed . We are waiting for the verifiable news sources to print articles on that. There are a lot of positive things hitting all at once.

Member: Mark, Samson posted an article this morning with MM that Iraq joined the WTO yesterday!!

Member: If Iraq joined WTO then they would have to have tradable currency…yes?

Member: That is what we heard????

MZ: That would be big and exciting progress. …I will work on getting MM back into the house.

Member: If . Iraq joined WTO yesterday . We are hour to hour. IMO RV release is imminent

 Member: Any CMKM news?????? The bond payout you would think is passed 30 percent by now????

MZ: On CMKX- nothing Fresh . All we know is it will go at the same time as the currencies. It is tied to asset backed dollars so it could not be stolen again from us.

​​Member: Bruce big call “said all Three green lights are a go

​​Member:  Asset backed is the clue….Will it be fiat backed when we exchange or gold/asset backed?

MZ: Will we get the reset with CBDC’s or our reset with the QFS…..We very much expect it to be gold/asset backed. And also Nesara Gesara…but we don’t know for certain until we reach the finish line who won the war of competing  resets. .

Member: How will we know if we get fiat or asset backed with our exchange?

MZ: It will be all over the news. I’m sure you all will be asking your bankers if it’s a USN or fiat. If its still fiat we should be ready to move money quickly into assets.

Member: Something you can physically hold like silver, gold, and of course real estate.  

Member: Didn’t Dr.Scott say that the QFS was already in place?

Member: Gesara/Nesara? Anything in writing that verifies it’s a real thing?

Member: Lots of rumors….We all hope it’s real….everything in there is common sense and benefits the people….so the elite hate it.

MZ: We used to be able to read about it on government websites – then they scrubbed those. Most of what we see are screen shots taken from Gov. sites before they were scrubbed and removed. You used to be able to go to the Library of Congress to read how they passed it. Then they removed or scrubbed that. But there are a lot of screenshots . I read it on many of thiose sites before they scrubbed them.

MZ: Many world economists are saying the only way to reset the currencies is to wipe all debt. This is part of Nesara.Gesara.

Member: Once a rate is announced- do we just go to a bank that is Basel 3 that does foreign currency?

MZ: We are going to get distributed numbers for us. Then you can call and find out exactly which branch can handle your transaction. This is so you get credited for your exchange instantly because they did not have to send your currency off to be verified .

Member: Buying Dinars is now becoming very difficult and the price has increased significantly.... :)

Member: will we have cards with biometric readings or fingerprint , hand print or eye scan?

MZ: My banking contacts say if there is- they do not know about it or been trained on it. My guess is with blockcchain there are other ways to verify who you are with the QFS..

Member: 100% we need a "What If?" show. What if it's asset backed, what if it's still Fiat, what if only the Dinar goes, what if there's a basket with many? VERY helpful for after to talk about the What Ifs

Member: I am getting text messages from Chase Bank almost daily, ....sales pitches but it's kind of curious to me

MZ: Other news: “BRICS: Brace for potential International Monetary system collapse”  We may see a announcement today that Vietnam has officially joined BRICS. It is my understanding we will see it officially this week.

Member: If Iraq was smart they would dump the Us and also join BRICS…..Wish we could join.

Member: When is the best time for the reset to release?

Member: I have always thought it would go on Friday morning because it is Holy Day in Iraq!!!

Member: Charlie Ward says it will happen on a Thursday and I think when markets close on Fridays is also a good time to watch.

MZ: Tomorrow morning we will have Mr. Cottrell and Andy Schectman as guests….Will be a busy day.

Member: Thanks to all…..everyone have a great day.

Member: Happiest of birthdays to all celebrating

He continued, "This matter creates confidence in the local currency, when it has value at the global level and this follows the strength of the Iraqi dinar, and this issue does not constitute any loss for Iraq and Iran .  "

He added, "This currency will be transformed into goods or exchanged and bartered, if there is a joint trade exchange between the two countries.

He pointed out that "there are no legal obstacles and solutions are available," noting that "the Council is awaiting the 2024 budget schedules in order to know its provisions and proceed with voting on it according to legal mechanisms."

Al-Mandalawi and Al-Sudani agreed, according to the statement, “on the necessity of completing the schedules of the budget law for the year 2024, and expediting their sending to the House of Representatives for the purpose of discussing and voting on them, due to their connection to the lives of citizens and their focus on investment spending for new projects,”

Deficit” Is The Password.. Parliamentary Finance Decodes The Budget Delay

Economy | 08:03 - 05/07/2024  Mawazine News – Baghdad  A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Muhammad Nouri, revealed on Saturday that there was a large deficit within the 2024 budget, which obstructed sending its schedules to the House of Representatives for approval.

Nouri said in an interview followed by Mawazine News, “The delay in sending the budget schedules from the Council of Ministers to the House of Representatives for approval and then starting work on them is evidence of the existence of a large deficit within this budget, which has exceeded more than 80 trillion.”

He explained, “There is significant government spending that accompanied the 2023 budget and continues until now, including paying the Kurdistan region’s dues and exceeding the original dues, and also the sanctions imposed by the US Treasury may have caused a weakness in revenues, which reflects negatively on the strength of the budget and the government’s ability to address this deficit.”

He continued, “There may be political reasons behind the delay in sending the budget, including the delay in choosing a new speaker for the House of Representatives, and that its delay may hinder the launch of some important and strategic projects.”

He stressed that “the government is currently looking for solutions to address this large deficit and the pressure on expenditures within this budget, as well as the pressure on actual spending to reach a deficit that can be worked on. Among these solutions is increasing the price of oil or maximizing other non-oil revenues.”   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=247530

Iraq Adopts An Advanced System To Combat Money Laundering And Terrorist Financing[/Size]

May 7, 2024  Baghdad/Al-Masala Al-Hadath: Al-Rafidain Bank explained the importance of adopting a comprehensive banking system, while stressing the work on adopting two advanced systems in the field of combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

The bank's general manager, Ali Karim Hussein, said that Rafidain Bank has begun, since we took over the bank's management, to activate the comprehensive banking system in its branches spread across government institutions and border crossings where the collection system is large.

He explained that the comprehensive banking system will simplify the procedures for opening accounts as well as transfer operations, so that the customer will be able to manage his account without reaching the bank.

He pointed out that there are many reforms, including the adoption of the AML and GOAML systems, which are among the internationally required systems, specializing in the field of combating money laundering and terrorist financing, in addition to the adoption of electronic systems in which the human hand does not interfere, as they are the ones who prepare the lists and conduct the scanning process electronically and not manually.

As a result, the credibility of Rafidain Bank, as well as the banking sector in general, towards international institutions will be guaranteed by its commitment to the requirements and legislation for combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

The Director General of Rafidain Bank stated that the bank’s previous work, due to the lack of an electronic network linking the bank’s branches, meant that customers were businessmen, merchants, and simple citizens who could not carry out any banking operation within a short time.

However, at the present time, the system has been transformed electronically, so that the customer can go to any A branch of our branches spread across Baghdad and the governorates that contains a comprehensive banking system, and accesses his account, and all his data will be available with the employee, which will make it easier for the customer to perform banking operations, whether by withdrawal or deposit.   https://almasalah.com/archives/90654

The Gazetteller reported that as of Wed. 1 May the Latin American nations of Colombia, Brazil, and Chile became the first to exchange foreign currency in the Global Currency Reset.

I don’t want to be a part of anything that would disturb the process. At the moment it is all good. I’m very confident that this is the week that we have been waiting for. Have a beautiful, beautiful day.”

Mon. 6 May 2024 Wolverine: “It has started. It has started. It has started. It has started. It has started. It has started. It has started. It has started. What I can tell you is that we are liquid. The money is actually available. It’s just a matter of time in order for the Green Light to be given. Exchanges have started. I’ve been told not to say anything more. I can’t give you a date. Remember, it’s a military operation, but we are defiantly close. Take care. Have a beautiful day. Wolverine.”

Mon. 6 May 2024 MarkZ: “I absolutely know this has started. I know people who now have dollars. According to my best contacts in the group, there was an interesting movement of money over the weekend. It’s clearly positioned to go, but I’m not sure we’ll see it today. Wolverine says 1,000% it will go today. We’ve seen a lot of money movement over the weekend so it could go today. I’m not quite certain, though there’s certainly a potential.”

·  Iraq, once the financial crown jewel of the world, has rediscovered its immense natural wealth. The value of the Iraqi dinar was unmatched in its prime, and now, as it taps into its natural gas reserves and cranks up oil extraction, its potential seems limitless. The nation has risen from the ashes, more robust than ever before.

·  The framework for a new global financial order is already in place. The Basel III endgame is a strategic blueprint, increasing capital reserves to prevent another catastrophic collapse. It’s a safeguard, but also a double-edged sword, wielded to reshape the global financial chessboard.

·  Meanwhile, Vietnam and Zimbabwe are preparing to jump into the fray. Vietnam has announced its readiness to intervene in Forex, while Zimbabwe has unveiled its gold-backed Zig currency, a pivotal linchpin in the global currency reset. Zimbabwe Bonds are key to this plan, with the nation described as a “gold mine surrounded by diamonds.” The world has underestimated this African powerhouse, but now, it’s leading the charge toward a golden age.

US Treasury Bond Futures are beginning to collapse, heralding a broader market downturn coming in the near future. Add to this that the rest of the world is offloading US fiat, Federal Reserve-backed Treasury Bonds at speeds not seen ever before, and the coming downturn in US/North American markets is likely to be significant.

BRICS Announcement: “According to Anatoly Aksakov, Chairman of the Russian State Duma Financial Market Committee, talks on how the new currency will work have started and an agreement may be reached by the end of this year.” The plan is for this currency to be supported by gold, various precious metals, and other assets. The purpose is for the BRICS Nations to be able to trade with one another and no longer have to deal with US sanctions on their currencies. …Goldilocks

Frank26   Who's forcing this monetary reform to come out/this new exchange rate?  The citizens of Iraq?  Sudani the prime minister?  The US Treasury?  They sure want a windfall don't they for the Federal reserves.  The CBI?  You and I?  The answer is all of the above is forcing it.  That's what's wonderful about it.  We are all on the same page.  We are all in cahoots.  We all agree.  

Yada   ...the news is outstanding regarding the progress of the Council of ministers having approved the budget schedules.   What is important...the rates were set with the US visit, council of ministers approved or amended the rates...all before Parliament sees it, WE are about to see the rates that the Parliament will see at the same time.  All by design to keep them from interfering...Im expecting this evening into the morning to seeing our expected end. The world waits the release and I believe it is upon us.

Over 900 Banks Are In Real Trouble Now

Atlantis Report:  5-7-2024

The banking industry is a crucial part of the economy, but it is currently facing a crisis that could lead to collapse.

The recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank have caused shockwaves in the financial world, and there is concern that this is only the beginning of a larger, catastrophic event.

More than 900 banks applied for the Bank Term Funding Program last year, and now they are facing the challenging task of paying back those loans.

 If one of these banks fails and cannot repay their loan, it could trigger a domino effect of repayment difficulties for other banks, leading to serious consequences and economic anxiety.
