Do You Negotiate Your Financial Freedom?

…Mey here late on Sunday evening, watched Bridge of Spies with my husband Jomel, inspired by the negotiation that happened in the movie I’m blogging about Do You Negotiate Your Financial Freedom?

…people who are good with money understand that, everything of value is up for negotiation…

…the real question is are you negotiating for your financial freedom?

…in other words, are you negotiating to keep your costs down, and create more value with the money and resources that you have…so that you can obtain your financial freedom faster?

…my most recent negotiation involved a loan payment…

…I paid off a loan and the check was missing in the mail…

…my issuing bank had to charge me a fee of $20 to put a stop payment on the check, which I did not want to pay…

…the receiving bank offered to pay the fee, and also back date the payment, and I physically got another check made and paid the loan in person that day…

…that negotiation saved me about $30 in fees and interest…

…my husband and I negotiate on how to run our business, where to put expenses…

…we negotiated my car payment down and saved over $50/mo…

…we are currently negotiating on the purchase of two apartments…

…everything of value, can be negotiated…

…even your credit card interest rate…

…I once negotiated my credit card rate by faxing the president of a prominent bank my proposal…

…and I got a better rate and also got reimbursed for interest that I had been paying at the higher rate…

…what do you want?

…decide that first, and then go out and negotiate for it…

…let me know about your negotiation tips in the comments below!
