Hi Dawn,
I've been watching you virtually daily for about 5 years. I am so impressed by your dependability,professionalism ,warmth and honesty. Keep up the great work. You mean the world to me.Holly
Wow, thank you! You are so very kind
So lovely and so true!! Dawn's the best!! I've been watching everyday for many years too!
Ditto!
When you’re older it gets easier to say NO PERIOD……LYNN.
I have no loyalty to companies. My relationships with them are transactional not personal.
I have neighbor kids or my daycare kids, come to my door to sell things $20 plus. I tell them no, but give them $2 to buy a treat. They walk away totally happy and I save mega bucks. happens 4 to 6 times a year
Great idea
How sweet! ❤️
That's awesome. I didn't know until after she did this but my daughter tried to sell neighbors rocks painted like lady bugs for $100. She sold 2 before my next door neighbor called me laughing hysterically. Not a good sales person though she was bargained down to a quarter in each case.
No is a complete sentence ❤❤❤
I felt obligated to buy from friends when I was younger. I don't have that problem now. I sold skin care products for a while really just to get a discount. I hated selling it. I sold my kit to a girl in my office. She did very well with it. I don't mind selling in a store as the customer comes to you. Good video. Love to all, Linda 💕
I felt the same way Linda
I have recently learned the power of having a visible 'No Solicitation' sign at the path to my home ... This has saved my sanity
People ignore ours
My #1 "no" is helping somebody move...
All depends with me… what if I need help with something ?
What if nobody helped me move and I needed help ? Just sayin
@cjhoward409 personally I just hire help.
Been 2 to many "moves" where nothing was prepared/ready to be loaded...
Not for me...
Especially when they haven't even packed anything! They expect YOU to do it all, while they just relax and watch. Once I even politely said, "I'll come back and help once you're packed." Never heard anything more.
My wife's cheap friends were always asking me to help them move, using my truck. Never got offered as much as one dollar for gas. Now I have a no-move policy, too!
@@edwardpresutti2941 .. That made me laugh, remembering the time we were asked to help a couple move We got to their place, and not one thing was packed. Even the sink was piled with dirty dishes. My hubby was so p'd off, that he gave them a number for movers, ,and we left. Never saw them again.. ha
Our library's selection of online/digital magazines is too limited. None of the ones that I want are in there (in Libby or in Flipster), as far as I can find. *But* here is a tip worth sharing: if you are willing to pay for Kindle Unlimited (around 12 bucks a month), it MAY pay for itself in the form of magazines that you otherwise cannot afford or justify. There are certain magazines that I enjoy where the only reason I can afford to see them at all is because they are included in my Kindle Unlimited subscription. Also, there are thousands of ebooks that you can borrow like a library ebook through Kindle Unlimited, then return them and get new ones. I am not shilling for Amazon, I am just sharing a way to access many magazines and books for someone who has only 12 bucks a month to spend on them. The ones you want might not be there, but it's like the library: maybe some of the ones that they _do_ offer will be interesting to you.
I don’t say anything to solicitors in stores,I just keep on walking. You probably think that is rude. It is what it is.
Joel and I will walk out of our way to not walk right by them. 🤪
@@TheLongRunwithJoelandChristy well the television subscription service one hangs out around the tablets and laptops. That would mean I can never look at them. The phone people, the old group…this woman would come in after me every time I walked in the place, so then I needed to start looking for new options and I went to her and took out my flip phone and she ran away, lol. She never bothered me again. The new group is selling the service I already have but I will see a charger or cords for a good price in the office aisle and I will go ask them if the item will work with my phone. People on the end caps or with tables, they don’t go after people. It’s the ones by the exit door. Nobody ever talks to them.
Well said !!!! You made alot of good points
We also order food once every couple of years. It's alot of money we can spend on something else. We go to fast food place once a month. We've mastered all our fav meals, including junk food, at home.
I avoid products that have solid oils added - like microwave popcorn, chips, cookies, etc. I learned that the oils are rancid and deodorized so that the final products have a very long shelf life. Learning that explained why I don't necessarily feel very well after I consume those highly processed foods.
I watched a video that changed popcorn for me! A regular paper lunch bag! Put a TINY amount of oil or butter on a 1/4 cup, put in bag on a little plate in microwave. Two minutes or under in mine. Add topping of choice(salt butter etc)
It’s so simple and fresh!
Excellent. To me that’s not even food. And I’m focused on fueling my body for what it needs to run smoothly 👍🏻
@@Smooshes786 it works without oil or butter too.
I also learned that these toxic oils stay in the body for YEARS. This is what made me stop buying these products, even if occasionally.
You are wise to avoid those products. I have a special needs son with extreme food sensitivity. I have to monitor his diet closely. What I believe you are referring to is TBHQ. It is what is added to oils to keep products shelf stable, like you so wisely stated. It causes my son behavioral and sleep disturbances. I wish more people knew to avoid it. I believe it causes a lot of other people health troubles but they don't know the source of the problem. My son is an angel, and he is much healthier without processed food. God bless.
Love that you brought up the offers to new customers. Great savings rates at banks but if you’re already a customer, nope.
So true!
When I'm approached for a product, service or credit card, I smile and say.. "I already have it".. and keep walking. They don't know me from Santa and have no clue what I have or don't have.
Husband set up a four foot above ground pool in our backyard. Chain smoking neighbor wanted to use it for her daily
“No thank you!” 😹
Situations with neighbors can be difficult -- how did you handle her request?
She just flat out and said she wanted to use your pool ? Who does that ? Yikes. That’s quite bold and forward. Eesch.
P.s. Lynn here you look great in color….
A couple of malls in my area have booths in the center of the hall that sell creams and lotions. The sales people are really pushy and do not want to take NO THANK YOU for an answer, and even if you are polite, they treat you like you are rude for not wanting to talk to them and I have even had them get a little sarcastic with me. No I am not
mean. I tell them no thank you because I have oily skin and dont need creams or lotions, but they act offended if you say no thank you and keep walking. I cant stand that.
I'm saying no to buying annual flowers..I have only perrenials.
I got rid of my prime with Amazon. And I don't miss it at all.😊😊😊
I love the idea of stopping things temporarily. Giving yourself permission to re-up mags you may prefer to have is a ok. I have 2 that I love actually having a paper copy of. The rest I got rid of.
What are the two magazines you love? I love Woman's World and First for Women and many others.
@@kkricket1968 The New Yorker and Alta Journal (it is a magazine focused on California)
@@ElizabethBSoCal thanks. I like the New Yorker magazine too.
We have people selling products or asking for donations I ignore them and or don't even look at them. I don't have money or time for everyone else.
I love you, Money Mom!❤
I love you too
Hello Dawn, you have the best advice in each and every video! We appreciate you❤
You are so welcome
Definitely need to say no thanks! Great advice👍🙂
Thanks for watching!
You are right. I didnt have an accident for 28 years. I found out that this fender bender going 4 miles an hour...literally a fender scrape $1,000 repair cost.. ..my insurance company will raise my rates 59%.. it now stays on your record for FIVE YEARS..I'm shopping around . Even if you don't turn in a claim to the insurance company if you is so much as: ask about it. It is put on a CLUE report and it's just like reporting an accident.
Oh no, I am sorry
You never have to explain! I am so good at explaining every move and really i.should not have to explain to anyone...I am a work in progress!
I adore you
Is it true. Is it kind. Is it necessary. Three things I ask myself before speaking one of the best advice I’ve ever heard
I volunteer at my local library used bookstore. Donated magazines are 24 cents each !!! much better that a subscription!
That's a great idea!
Ah, the power of "no"....
I didn't know about the extra expense of delivery. When I looked it up many said that to them Delivery was about inviting your friends over for movie night and then not leaving them to go get pizza, in that instance, they say it's worth the delivery cost to stay with your friends and enjoy the movie. I'm rural, there is no delivery of any kind where I am. I had no idea that pizza shops charge less for the pizza if you go into the shop. One said that the difference was $7 in shop versus $13 online + $3 delivery fee + $2 tip. Which makes a $7 pizza cost $18.
Big difference
I will not be buying paparazzi jewelry. I don’t need it and I never wear it to work. I have enough for the next five years.!
I so agree with this. I especially like the idea of a polite negation. In addition regarding the biz cards, your honest NO makes it possible for an honest YES to a future prospect.
Great idea
Dawn, I get so many people calling me to buysomething. At least two a day. I have no idea why!
I say hello and then they give me their shpeil. I then say is this free? They say well,No. And I say no thanks, take me off your list. Bye!
I don’t answer the phone if I don’t know who is calling. 99.999%. Do not leave a message.
I can so relate
I see a number I don’t recognize and I don’t even answer it
I wouldn’t bother with the “No, but thank you for thinking of me”. Nobody is thinking of you! They are just trying to SELL you something!
I can remember when they were wanting me to switch xyz satellite company, I said no thanks we have antennas for tv, they kept after me and they had special price for customer, I said no, but kept on. I finally said mine was free could they give me cheaper than that? They shut up! LOL!
I used to feel obligated to buy whatever the kids in my life were selling. Instead I give the organization the money they earn on the sale of tbe product. I set a minimum of $5 and a maximum of $10 and limit it to 1 purchase per kid in spring and fall only. For my daughter I donated my time as well.
When I pass by those people that are trying to sell me ins or gutter guards or whatever… I’ll say “no thank you”. If they keep trying to sell me something, I then give them that stare. You know what I’m saying. And then I’ll say again, “ I SAID no thank you !!”
Good viddo! I really like that yellow shirt, it looks very good on you!
Thank you so much
I had to say no to the neighbor kids selling candy bars. 1 - I don't need any, 2 - I still have some in the freezer from last year and most importantly 3 - your parents still have my chain saw. I shouldn't take it out on the kids, but these kids are mean, and bully the girl next door and have no respect. I've tried to be nice, but I'm done.
LOL: " most importantly 3 - your parents still have my chain saw"
@@virginiamaciuleviciene606 . that made me laugh too.. haha
Great advice. I earn free magazine subscriptions by doing online surveys for some companies. I've been getting free magazine subscriptions for years. Thanks Dawn for your daily videos. I look forward to them everyday.
Thank you so much
I don’t like getting magazines anymore. In fact, I deactivated my account with a sample company because every time they released a product, if I didn’t get chosen, they would send me 6 months of some random magazine. I didn’t even get to choose the magazine. I’d literally walk in the house and throw the magazine right into the recycling bin. So annoying! Like “Stopppp!” 😂
We take any magazine back to the Post Office. They can take care of it.
@@virgierutledge3004 valid point. Thankfully our magazines can be picked up with our recyclables because our closest post office is a 15 minute drive.
Oh, wow
I loved this one!! you are so on point with learning to walk away no explanation and just say no thank you. good lesson for so many areas of our lives! I drew the line when a relative asked me to buy 8 cookies from the childs school, $48 for 8 cookies!!! they would get 40% of the profit, insane,
Wow
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom as my father would have said "is there gold dust in those cookies?:)

After being on a demo team as a team lead for 4 yrs I learned that a lot of co will sell you stuff and try to make you feel youare getting a good deal when in reality sometimes its not or they sometimes lead people to buy or try something that is not good for their special needs ,, I often had men ask is this diabetic friendly, because they're wives often watched their sugar so they really didn't know and the demo person would tell them yes knowing it wasn't, I' d tell them no and tell my team to just be truthful not always the case and noticed this with others in sells, that's why my husband is banned from watching infomercials for life , he can' t say no 😂
Exercise. I felt guilty as she is a good neighbor. Said no on that one!
I need to say, No Thankyou a lot more
Well said.
I commiserate!!
I've had the same hair stylist since I was in third grade. I'm in my 40s and still go to her, but she's charging over $60 for just a trim. Any advice on staying or leaving? I've been dragging out my haircuts to try and save.
Go to the library and get a book on cutting hair and them trim your own hair it's not that hard
Great Clips, no app necessary & it’s $25 & under. Price varies on were you live. Also only go every 12 weeks, that’s abt 3-4 times a year🤑
I learned to trim my own bangs and even the overall length. I’ll go get a haircut at a salon about once every 5 years.
Just honestly tell her you can no longer pay $60 for a trim, it's not in the budget. Wish her well and thank her for the years she's done your hair.
Can you try someone else?
Off topic but I really would like to find a yellow top like that with the dots.
I got it from Women Within
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMomThat is a dangerous online store for me! Everytime I get their catalog I want to buy it all!
Google it. 👍🏻
Obligation is a big one for me. I think as though the company views me as if they know me personally. Which is not true. They are not depressed that I cancelled my subscription. But I think that they do care. Not any more.
I totally understand
Buy less food!
I adore magazines but they are not as thick as they used to be, and I don't think the men( no offense) do a good job decorating, it really shows that they have had no training in this
❤
