5. Negotiating Strategies to Help You Save Money

It's Brian Preston, the Money Guy, restoring order to your financial chaos, retirement,

investing, taxing.

You've got financial questions, he's got financial answers.

It's Brian Preston, the Money Guy.

Brian, I am super excited about today's show because all of us, no matter what we do

for a living, no matter what our vocation is, no matter how we spend our days, we are

involved in negotiations.

Now, it may not be sales and it may not be the traditional type of negotiations, but

if you interact with other human beings, you are involved in negotiations.

What I like about negotiating is it's very similar to all other things financial and the

fact that the more preparation, the more planning you do, usually the more rewarded you are.

I like that. That feels like all is good in the universe that you are rewarded for taking

extra time to do research, to figure things out.

That's why we came up with five tactics you can use personally to save money.

This is what I'm excited about because when I think about negotiations, generally speaking,

I think about a winner and a loser.

The folks that we perceive as being good negotiators or the folks who always get their way or

accomplish their goal or fill in the blank and it's always like this win-lose type scenario.

What I love about the five things that we're going to lay out today is it's not so adversarial.

It's not so aggressive and not so combative.

It's a different way to approach how you negotiate with others.
