Last week, Billy from Biloxi wrote in, Challenging our Budget and Grow Rich® moneysaving and wealth-building approach.
To be clear, we Welcome All feedback – both positive and negative. We take criticism to heart and value our members’ insights and suggestions. And continuously look to improve Budget and Grow Rich®.
Because independent commentary, fresh ideas and questions help the Budget and Grow Rich® research and editorial team create new wealth-building and moneysaving strategies, techniques and tactics and help more people save more money and build more wealth.
And while we strive to present every wealth-building and moneysaving idea in plain English so you can get ahead, we’re certain that our writing isn’t 100% clear to everyone all the time. And moneysaving and wealth-building strategies and techniques can be complicated and confusing.
Our goal at Budget and Grow Rich® is to help You get ahead in today’s financially complex world.
Billy, in particular, questions Why we regularly feature step-by-step how-to moneysaving roadmaps and wealth-building roadmaps. One. Two. Three and so on.
Because we find that roadmaps, checklists and specific processes drive action which produce results.
If you’ve been following Budget and Grow Rich® for any period of time, you know that I love McDonald’s Iced Coffee. NO sugar for me anymore though.
Putting aside whether you’re a fan of McDonald’s food or not, I think that we can safely agree that McDonald’s runs a tight ship. Based on my experience, McDonald’s operations are exceptional.
According to McDonald’s, on average each restaurant serves more than 1,900 people every day, without a glitch. That’s Impressive.
The key to operational excellence and achieving the results you desire consistently is SYSTEMS!
Routines, roadmaps and checklists.
My friend Perry’s Dad Ralph used to say, “McDonald’s-ize” operations. In other words, create detailed, complete and standardized systems to make things run right.
Let’s give you and Billy from Biloxi an example to shed some light on our logic – the method to our madness if you will.
If you happened to miss our post, “How to Save 8.2% at McDonald’s Every Day Forever!” click here.
The theme is to create a system to help you save money at McDonald’s every day.
Here’s how:

Looking to build lifetime wealth, gain peace of mind and retire comfortably and worry-free?

First, download McDonald’s App.
When you order food and beverages via the App, you earn loyalty rewards points which you can redeem for FREE Food and Beverages at McDonald’s.
While you’re at it, apply for a credit card that gives you cash back on US restaurants – a statement credit. Input your credit card information into the App for payment.
When you order McDonald’s via the McDonald’s App And pay with your cash back credit card, you can save 8.2%. The 8.2% comes from a combination of the free food and beverages you receive (approximately 5% savings) and the 3% cash rebate you receive on your credit card (statement credit). Three percent cash back.
My American Express Card (Amex Card) gives me a statement credit for the 3% cash savings.
EASY!
Once you create and implement your system, the best systems should work by themselves essentially.
This System reduces the number of steps significantly and helps ensure that you succeed.
The Only two things I have to do to save the 8.2% is to remember to keep my Smartphone charged; and order McDonald’s Iced Coffee via their App.
Saving money is essentially automatic, since I almost always use their Drive-Thru and order from my Smartphone and keep my Smartphone plugged into the console.
Essentially AUTOMATIC SAVINGS!
Sometimes we call this ‘No-Brainer Savings’!
Billy – if you happen to be reading this and you’re still skeptical about the value of creating systems, read our post “How to Save $557.67 at McDonald’s This Year” – click here.
And if you’re interested in the math behind the $557.67, when You access the post, scroll down. You’ll find all the mathematical calculations there. Step by step.
Next week, we’ll share two more systems that can help You save bank every year.
These systems work for me. They can work for You!
It’s ALL About Creating Systems! AND. . .
Implementing the systems and making them part of your routine.
Hands down!
Stay tuned,
