I used to believe in buying higher quality clothes, but I’ve found that expensive items these days doesn’t mean better quality. I also realized that I don’t like wearing the same thing for years and years. I like switching things out often which isn’t great because fast fashion is terrible 🤦♀️
there's something call white label. Cheap companies that makes the same clothes as the expensive one, just slapped a label on it. I dont buy quality i just buy what I like without overpaying as fashion tend to change often
Yeah I totally feel you on this. I wont splurge on something I know will likely be out of trend soon, or I don't see myself wearing a lot. Thrifting can be great for this too.
I have definitely started utilizing free gyms at work, coffee at home primarily. I have become better with meal planning and preparing before I go in the store for week at a time.
@@renewilder6807 love this!!
I started budgeting this year and having a grocery list has helped SOO much! BUT also having the discipline to tell yourself no lol
@@jenniferronquillo3 it helps so much! Yeah having the discipline is the tough part.
I don’t spend any money on rent. I picked up a caregiving job where in exchange for services, I get my own bedroom & bathroom on property. In addition, this is a paid position and a portion of my income is non taxed because of the living arrangement. Mind you, I live in Southern California so the amount I save per month strictly on rent is substantial. Since I effectively work from home, and the company I work for does not require a uniform, I spend very little on clothes. In fact, I did buy clothes this past weekend after probably 4 months of not doing so. I’ll probably wait another 4 to 6 months before hitting a clothing store again. I do have Spotify premium, a gym membership and I will visit a hip coffee shop nomore than once a month. Given that I earn in excess of 6 figures, and I fully fund a 403b & my Roth IRA every year, I think splurging $36ish a month is alright. I hit the gym 4 to 6 times a week, listen to Spotify everyday & when I visit a coffee shop it’s with a friend. I also rarely drink alcohol. I’m talking at most, 2 cocktails in a month. But I’ve gone years without imbibing. Ohhh, another one is not having a pet. Pets can be sooooo expensive. I hike 2 to 3 times a week so I’ve taken to admiring wildlife on my walks. They say crows can identify people so I pretend that there’s a crow out there who greets me every time I hit the trail. Easily save hundreds if not thousands every year this way.
@@HeyitsMarioDiaz wow! Not paying rent in Southern California is huge! That’s awesome. Well done.
Gym membership- I can workout at my apartment or preferably outside
rethinking my spending on clothes was definitely a big thing for me. i used to buy cheap pieces because of the cost, but i ended up having to buy clothes more frequently. so i’ve started slowly building up my wardrobe to have pieces i love so i know that i will have them for a long time
@@ventureswithvee so true! I’ve been on the same journey and it’s great to see that I’m holding onto pieces for so much longer these days!
I’m a door dash hater too. It’s so expensive takes too long and not fresh!
So helpful! It's a small thing, but when I realized I could switch to only paying about $5.99 for Netflix instead of the $13.99 I was paying for, I went for it - I don't care about having my show cut by ads if it means to save money! ◡̈
Yes totally! and the ads are so infrequent! I don't even notice it.
Books! I go to the library-. I can even get kindle books from my library. I’ll never reread a book anyway. Btw, your hair looks so good!!!!
@@elizabeththompson1525 such a good one!! I wish I could get library books on my kindle!
And thank you!! 🙏🏽
Ugh food at the office and skip the dishes at home is so rough. It’s so expensive but I love it so much! I do only one day in the office so I feel justified but I really shouldn’t. Between parking, coffee and food it really adds up. But man I love it lol
@@melissapowers4780 haha I feel you! Well if you love them than I say find room in your budget for them and cut something else!
@@GabbyPeterson17 Ive made room for them in my budget but it should be going to saving/investing. I’ll figure it out 😆
I used to buy Starbucks twice a day, 2 years ago and idk why I did that 😂 so glad I stopped after realizing hm money I was spending a month reloading $25 every time. I also stopped ordering Uber eats a lot because damn it is soooo not worth it!
@@christineee444 oh I have been there! Coffee in the am, and a passion tea lemonade in the pm 😂 so true! It adds up like crazy.
Great list! I love the sustainability angle too. 💕 Another thing I don't buy is books! The public library is the best and seems to always have exactly what I want to read. 📚
@@emi-dy me too! Using the library is such a good one. I need to be better at getting on the list for books, Vancouver seems to have none of the books I’m looking for back in stock for weeks 😭
@@GabbyPeterson17 Same with the library in Ottawa! Sometimes the wait for popular books can be months. So not the best if you want to read a book urgently! 😅
I no longer pay for Netflix, gym membership, and DoorDash.
The craziest thing I see people do is buying (expensive) coffee outside of the office, while there is coffee available at the office for free. And that coffee is actually very good quality. 🤷🏼♂️ And people also buy sandwiches for like 6-7€ outside the office every day. A homemade sandwich is much cheaper and just as good.
I’m glad I’m not a coffee drinker 😅
@@kngkrmson2179 yes totally! Not going to lie I was that person for a long time 😅 once I started budgeting I realized how much it added up over the month! Crazy!!
sorry but coffee in the office is not specialty, I simply cannot drink it
@@GabbyPeterson17 ya I’ve tried it every once in awhile just to see if my taste buds would change. But no it’s been the same ever since I was a teenager 🤣 the same goes for beer for me. I feel like coffee all taste the same and beer. There’s like a scent and taste. Or maybe I’m just a weirdo hahaha but idk man I can’t get around to drinking those.. BUT I will say mine is the soda. Terrible drink I’m trying to cut from my life too
I’d love to see you make a video on investing!! I loved watching your video about how to get to 100k and I’ve been sooo interested in investing (focusing on some CC debt atm first 😬) but I really wanna invest and I find it so overwhelming!
I have a How to Invest video! Its in my financial playlist! I want to do a bit of an updated one soon tho and maybe answer some questions!
@@GabbyPeterson17 oh you do?! Ok haha I didn’t dig enough, I’ll watch it later ❤️
I honesty I buy dry cleaning only but I just throw it in the wash or hand wash it. I don’t care. I still take care of them. I just don’t dry clean.
Yes on returning things!! I save money by taking sandwhiches for lunch, but when we had the Boars Head recall I was not embarrassed to go return $15 of meat and cheese. That’s way too much to throw away, it’s like the cost of a cheap date lol
I no longer buy lunch out and make my own lunches. I also stopped buying trending makeup and multiples of things, and just focusing on that I have. I also stopped dying and highlighting my hair, nails, salon beauty treatments etc.. and just do it myself, and just have my hair cut but not the expensive balayage etc I used to get.. I buy coffee out but limit it to just weekends, and usually it would be siting in and never takeaway.
My craziest one is I quit subscribing to spotify premium
@@Bodybymilk that is a good one! You’re powering through those ads 😅
Absolutely not 😂
Just recently knew reselling clothes is so difficult and you have to sell them super cheap so yeah buying clothes is less of priority atm. Maybe im good with my clothes for the next 10 years , this year i started a no buy year in july
I do my nails at home, too. Spend $200 on a kit and haven’t looked back. I did treat myself to a pedicure once recently because my toes were just ridiculous. The amount of chrome and jewels and add ons I do myself , would be soooo expensive at the salon!! The up charge for chrome is so dumb! Unreasonable.
omg loooove your lipstick in this vid
Thank you!! I believe I am wearing the Charlotte tillbury lip pencil in pillow talk medium, and the Fenty heat gloss in Hot Chocolate overtop
You're so pretty! You kind of favor the late Aaliyah. ❤
Thats so kind! Thank you. I've never gotten that comparison before but am honored!!
Could you also do some what you eat in a day videos?
Yes of course! I have this on my list of videos 💕
Can you show how you cut your hair pleaseeee
Very interesting
Loved the video. Please share where you get quality jewelry from
@@ValerieAdah so glad!! I have been slowly collecting real gold and some gold vermeil jewelry from Mejuri, Ana Luisa, and Leah Alexandra mainly!
@@GabbyPeterson17 thanks for sharing
Loving your content❤Coffee got me in a chokehold 😅 trying to cut it down to once or twice a week so it feels more like a treat😊
@@homelately so glad to hear it! Haha I feel you, once or twice a week is so fine! Especially if you love it.
What brand of creatine do you recommend?!
I completely agree with you especially the workout shoes part. I actually need a pair now cause i've been wearing a pair of beat up dupe birkenstock slippers from Walmart to the gym that are like 4 years old and they're not looking so great and especially when it rains i need it to keep my socks from getting wet🥲 but i have not bought a pair since going to the gym, i just find it more comfy to workout in socks than it is to workout in shoes. I dunno i just cant justify buying shoes for working out in.
@@ChanelleAnim yeah im the same! Seems like I need them to do their job and unless they’re falling apart, it’s not necessary to replace . Plus it’s almost better for you to be on your soles of your feet for weight lifting!
@@GabbyPeterson17at my gym unfortunately, we need closed shoes :(
Not related but what hair products do you use? It’s very shiny!
When does she start???omg
I don’t buy much clothes any longer. Thank god
What’s your skincare routine for morning and night (:
I believe I have a few shorts that will show what I use, but I will do a full GRWM video soon.
Do you use any specific product to help keep your skin so clear?
Could you also show your hair routine like if you use dry shampoo and stuff. And how you cut your hair??
DIY beauty recs? Esp for lashes
@@musicmoviestrailers1 I do a lash lift at home using a lift kit, it’s definitely not for everyone since you need to be so careful applying the product to your lashes but I learned by watching UA-cam videos and doing some research as well.
@@GabbyPeterson17 any brand rec?
try not buying alcohol!
Are you a Amazon prime member?
Love the look 👀
@@evanchisamorejohnston5819 thank you!!
What jewelry do you buy?!
I am slowly collecting solid gold or high quality gold vermeil from Mejuri, Ana Luisa, and Leah Alexandra mainly!
❤
You’re pretty.
Loved these, especially the sustainable elements to this list! Which at home gel nail kit do you use? 🫶🏼
Thank you 🫶🏼 so agree!! I use the beetles gel x kit, I will link here from my amazon amzn.to/3yIbfHJ. Heads up, you need to have a full size LED or gel cure light. The flash cure light wont set the gel x fully and can give you contact dermatitis which is no good. I am hoping to upload my nail how to video soon!
I literally am obsessed with your content! Always such great advice and knowledge! 🫶🏻
@@glittergirly8 so glad to hear this! Thank you so much 🥲💕
