    I sold a few things on Poshmark and made enough money to buy my LV nano speedy 😊
    I’m trying to do the same for my first Chanel bag!

      I get my nails done at least 2 times a year and 5 times my toes, i just started to really order clothes online. I used to go to the salon each month but I haven’t been there for 2 years. When I go out to eat my boyfriend normally pays or we split it. I have been trying to save for my first luxury bag but it’s impossible, in my country the currency for USD went up like crazy. So it’s getting harder to save I have to save at least $2000 and that is srd 36000,00 in my countries currency 🤦🏽‍♀️.

    I’m ashamed to say I always assumed you were wealthy and didn’t have to think about the cost of things. This makes you so much more relatable, and makes me feel more comfortable spending my money on luxury for myself, even though I too have to save up first x

    It’s true I started saving up and I just made a video of my dream bag it took me a year but I did it and I’m disabled and I’m on Social Security .. so if you want something I realized that you can save you can do it .. and I just made my purchase on a new LV and that’s my first purchased on a luxury goods .. tfs 💕💕

    I am the same way , I save for them and don't rely on others to spoil me . . . I get questions all the time when I upload new items on my IG endlessly . I have to make sacrifices and also go through my closet to resell items that I no longer wear or use . I also save my coins too and take them to a local bank at the end of the year . I love that you also stash money away so you won't go overboard with purchases - this specifically helped me . I am the type that if I have money I will run off to the store . Thanks so much for sharing . I extremely enjoy your videos each time you upload .

    Thanks for sharing! I come from a very similar background and don’t feel comfortable spending money from my husband and I’s shared account on luxury so I decided to set up a separate bank account this past year to save for a luxury bag and SLGs I had been eyeing for years. I sold items on Poshmark and FB Marketplace and was SHOCKED at how quickly the money added up. I was able to purchase 3 handbags and a handful of SLGs! Keeping a separate account for “fun money” is key!

    Hello Amber thank you very much for your tips. This is a great video! I put some cash in an envelope it is only for food. Sometimes I need more money, but sometimes I have some left over and this money comes in an extra envelope for my handbag what I want. And I save every month money for my handbag what I want. It takes a while until I can buy the Louis Vuitton on the go in gm in empreinte leather in black, because it is very expensive. And I want to make a vaccation this year too. I think I can get it next year in the summer month.

    We do very similar things (minus the UA-cam channel side hustle). 😀 I have a BS in finance degree. I make sure to put away 19,500 in my 401k, 6k in a Roth IRA, save some money after that in my bank account, then put whatever I don’t need to use in an account for my luxury items. I absolutely agree with the most important tip: DO NOT GO IN DEBT BUYING LUXURY ITEMS. It’s not worth it girl. 😃I just sold a watch on Poshmark for $76 (after their fee). More money towards my next luxury wish list (Cartier or VCA).

    I get extra from work with bonuses and overtime pay. I just use it for extra luxury purchases. I'm like you I am not into spending $250 for a t-shirt because it is a designer. I use several retailers on Ebates and buy mostly during big sales and cashback offers. I also invest and make additional income there as well. I set up different saving accounts for Christmas, miscellaneous, and vacation. The key is planning and setting goals.

    1st here Amber good morning I love your videos. Instead go to coin star I buy a dollar coin packs so I count them and save them until I have a bunch and take them to the bank I also always go to marshals, Nordstrom rack and find a lot of good prices so I can spend more in handbags
    Buy on sale clothes and shoes
    Try not spend on fast food during the week just on weekends

    This was so super helpful! I love the cash allowance system! Not so much for groceries but for gas, nails, hair and extra cash gets stashed away for a purse or pay off a bill early. I love Rakuten for cash back! And I will check out some consignment stores-what a good idea-to get some money from my work wardrobe. Extra savings accounts are great too. I will say that I will put luxe items on my cc but I will pay it the next day so it’s like it doesn’t even hit. I just like the peace of mind I have paying with a cc versus a debit card. Thank you so much for new tips and ideas!

    If you have a Discover card, in July you get 5% back on PayPal purchases . The last 2 years I planned to make a bag purchase and got back $75 which is the max. I think this year I will get the NF in Damier Ebene with Rose Ballerine.
    I also put away any singles I get . This was a tip I got from UA-cam and was amazed at how quickly I saved up $. It entices me to pay cash and then I keep the $1 bills when I get them.

    This is great, thank you! My issue is when I see a great “deal” on Poshmark or another site. I’ll see a gently used LV item, for example, and it’s half of what it is retail. So I rationalize it in my head. I’ve gotten better but it’s hard to be disciplined. I think being home during the Pandemic has also made it more difficult bc many of us have cabin fever and so I just browse online 🙈

People don’t realise how much everything adds up, even their morning coffee over a full year is a lot of money.

    I have my separate acct for my luxury handbags!!! I get an extra savings when my husband give one of my wishlist when he travels.💗 ( He's attending convention and not all the time I go with him😅) He's also happy where I'm interested in.😜 He is splurging luxury with the watches. But we spend wisely. Thanks Amber for sharing your thoughts and tips!!!❤️❤️❤️

    Thank you for sharing those great tips. I just save up for my purchases too and I don't spend a lot on clothes, food, etc...I will say though, (and trying not to sound braggy) my car is super nice but I got a really good deal on it used. Like you said, there's a give and take.

      A good car is a must for safety reason. A Mercedes is much better than a Corona in terms of armor and protection. It's worth it the money spent.
