    I don't feel like it's rough to see ppl with Starbucks or a Stanley. I feel smarter.

    Big Dumb Cups! (SNL) Every female at my doctor's office has one of these. "I can taste the bacteria!"

    I make better coffee anyway than Starbucks, and the purse thing, I'm with you - I buy one and use it for several years at a time, never a fashion purse, only a functional one

    Hi, what would be a good alternative to snacks? I'm planning to cut it as well.

      Great question! Personally, I use fruit. For one, fruit is much more filling. You might be able to eat an entire bag of Doritos, but it's much harder to eat an entire bag of apples. If you aren't big on fruit, you can also try homemade snacks. Making your own granola bars, protein balls or even hummus is quite simple! Making these yourself will be a much cheaper alternative to the premade snacks at the grocery store. Hope this helped!

      You can make popcorn at home using a stovetop popcorn maker.

      Fruit, raw veggies with some dip or hummus, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt (you can buy plain and add your own fruit or a bit of honey for a less sugary option). I buy some crackers/goldfish for my kids and buy or make popcorn occasionally, but mostly we don’t buy snack foods or desserts except ice cream. I also like to drink tea and buy different flavored ones to try to help cut down on my desire to snack between meals in general.

      Natural, so-sugar added peanut butter, either plain or with apples…very satisfying.

      @@BrittneyDeal I would be so grateful! I am currently preparing financially to start my nurse practitioner program in October. I have been working part-time at the clinical lab since last year bringing about $2100/month net and I have a $1500/month mortgage 😓 it's been a stressful year but I still have about $12k in savings

      @@Madamchief That's a tough situation to be in! But it's amazing that you still have managed to save $12,000. Most people in your situation wouldn't be able to save a penny. I'll start working on a video to help you and others that might be in a similar situation. Be on the lookout next week 😇

      @@BrittneyDeal 😱 that's so kind! I bet there's quite a few millennials who are house-poor now haha even if they work full time. In my particular case, I will probably attempt to get a roommate for the duration of school and might end up with a student loan if I don't receive enough scholarships. The cost of my program is gonna be $50k but I should be able to make over $100k/yr as an NP. I'm also lucky that I don't have kids or major debt beyond my mortgage
