Great content, but I'll apply the 48 hour rule to Shortform
JUst to say, I really like not just the advice you givem but how you deliver it. Great channel and totally agree with much of what you say. I saved £100k in my late 40s as a single mum of a littel boy. I wish I coudl invest it instead I need to pay my ex out of the house but hey, it still increased my wealth as house grew in equity, And I did it on under avarage salary. HOw? well, as you said yourself, being frugal, no holiday for years, watching what and how i spend. Like you, I had some circumstances favouring me, e.g. interest only mortgage during exceptional low interest rates and offset mortgage so my savings were further reducing my interest. I had lodgers in for number of years , sacerificeing my privacy an my son's but it helped immensly to get us through hard times and still manage to save. I wish i was more savy and understanding of how to use my mony better as I probably could still have done better. Even now when some big changes are upon me next year I feel lost in what the best thing to do..... So I shall keep watching for some more inspiration and ideas from you....... Good luck with your channel and all teh rest!
Oh my goodness, finally someone who agrees that wearing designer items takes money out your pocket, you’re advertising their brand and not getting paid. Like who the hell is Gucci anyway? Will Louis Vuitton mean anything to me at the end of my life? No. Thank you!
Really money savvy people do not wear logo branded apparel; not only cos it's free advertising for the brand, it's also a sign of security on their part - they do not need to broadcast their wealth status for the world to see
And those brown logo bags are ugly - if they were in an op shop and no logo, I wouldn’t buy it.
My feelings exactly.
Never bought designer and never will. Waist of my hard earned money
I love wearing designer items. It makes me happy and I genuinely like the brands I buy. If you can’t afford it then of course don’t buy it.
Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.
I use kindle for sample books, it’s free! Good way to learn about a book.
It's also predicated on a rising market!
I agree 💯
Great video, excellent tips. I find your video truly helpful.
No. 5 & 6 is so on point, however I don't agree with No. 2 cause buying in bulk saves me money, other than that great video once again.
You have a new subscriber.
Agree with everything except the avalanche method of paying off debt (highest interest debt first). I would rather do the snowball method.
For the books category, I think libraries are highly underutilized these days. A library card is a valuable resource giving you access to a wealth of knowledge all for free. Borrow and read a book from the library and if it really hits home with you then consider purchasing it to support the author. Then you can read it over and over, take notes in the pages and truly cherish that work for years to come. Great video!
Unfortunately in my town they are vanadalizing the libraries but back then in my teens i used to borrow books form the libray using the card and I miss those days
I read a lot and I only buy used books
I also use libraries a lot and buy a book only if I see I need it to read more often
Agree
Also a personal library has an impact on the planet through deforestation so let's keep books in circulation.
I looked at cancelling my audible and then they gave me 3 months half price.
My wife and I spent two years living full time in an RV and traveling to 37 states as well as Canada. It forced us into a minimalist lifestyle. What a wonderful feeling of freedom, not only from not being tied down to a specific location/home, but also the freedom from stuff! Once we established how we wanted to live and what we needed, we applied one rule that worked wonderfully for maintaining our sense of freedom from stuff. We called that rule, "Something in, Something out." Buy something new meant getting rid of something else.
My wife and I travel for a couple of months from time to time, since we both work remotely, so we get different flights and go around Europe and Asia with two backpack bags. Since we need to move a lot from place to place, we just take our PC, docs, credit cards, just toothbrush, floss, 2 t-shirts, glasses, stuff like that. In case you can always buy a new sweater, jeans etc. In that way you can take flights with just a hand luggage and go around with a backpack. So I remember our first trip, we just booked rooms, cheap hotels and used Couchsurfing. After two months we crossed 8 different countries. That feeling, when you realize that all you actually need to live decently for months takes a place of one backpack, is priceless
I live by the rule "one in, two out." It's a clutter buster.
I love that rule :)
Bulk buying can be economical as long as it’s something you for sure use consistently. Things like toilet paper, paper towels, body wash, toothpaste, etc are things that you can save money on if you are savy and purchase in bulk with coupons or at a discount
Costco is also good for this, just need to make sure you don’t come out with a load of other stuff that you don’t need too 😂
agreed and it also helps keep track of your spending, I never knew how many shampoo bottles I needed every year until I started buying in bulk
Yes. I don't bulk buy food, but bulking on toiletries saves money and mind
That's it. Bulk buying food leads to eating more. Bulk buying other necessities makes a lot of sense. You wouldn't use more toothpastes with every brush, just because you have extra in the cupboard. I can't say the same for chocolate, crips or biscuits.
Came to comment the same thing. I’ve saved a tonne with smart bulk buying on household consumables I will always need like kitchen roll, laundry detergent, toilet rolls, cleaning detergent etc. however pay attention to the cost per litre/kg/item. Sometimes the 18 pack of toilets rolls costs less per roll than the 24 or 32 pack. They are sneaky like that!
Also if you love rice like I do find a good Asian supermarket and buy in bulk bags. Literally one tenth the price per kg than in a general supermarket!
Transportation is an interesting one. If you live in London where public transport is plentiful, doing without a car makes sense. For parts of the country where public transport is not good and/or expensive, doing without a car is less of an option.
You don’t really need a car in the heart of London. Neither do you need one if your in Greater London. TFLs’ stretch is quite further out. If your a single person then possibly you can due without a vehicle. Travelling within the Zones is quite economical. So if all you have to undertake is travel between Zones 2-4 a car can be secondary. I’m talking from experience. Also driving in the heart of London is a nightmare. Traffic lights slow you down dramatically.
I agree, I live in Oxfordshire where we barely have any public transport. So you’re either walking at least a mile to the nearest shop or you need a car.
I sold my car when I moved to London. I feel much better not having one. I rarely use Uber in London, only when I do not have any other option, it's too expensive. But since I live in zone 1, I always have options, and I didn't use Uber in the last 2 years (in London).
Exactly this catching a train in peak times across towns and cities,can be way more expensive than owning a car to get to work
Yes, I don’t have any public transport available to me that goes anywhere besides a couple areas, without walking around 40+ minutes to get to a bus or tram stop
Totally agree with your final point! I used to spend hours in a salon bleaching my hair, hours taking care of it, hours getting lashes done, hours dealing with extensions….it’s so freeing to be rid of all of that!!
When it comes to skincare that i use, i buy multiple items of the same product during a sale e.g. 40-50%. I dont know if you call that bulk buying, but I've saved a lot doing it. Like right now i have 3 month stocks of Moisturizer, shampoo, serums etc, and this means i don't have to walk in to a store frequently and end up making impulse purchases 😂
yes that's what I do too 🙌
I do this too!!! It does work :)
For me, the library is the road to saving money. There are so many books you can check out not just from your local library, but of many others. That will save you tons, and you won't have to feel guilty about having the books gather dust with time.
I basically just watch these videos to reaffirm myself at this point lol. I do all of these things already, but as I'm still at uni, and work casually. I'm just not in the investing stage yet. But I do move my emergency fund money to whichever bank I get bonus interest on. Always like seeing my notification go off for one of your new videos ❤
🧡
The reaffirmation thing you said is so true!! I do this too. With all these bombarding advertisement reaffirmation is important to keep away from overconsumption.
Imagine how much debt we wouldn't be in if 40 percent of the people in North America practiced your techniques. Awesome content ✅💯🙌
Also, if the USA government focused on public transportation like trains we would not have to waste so much on cars, parking space, emission.
@@uchihasenpai5671 right... But we spend lots on bullshit that is useless like drugs and Onlyfans and 41 " tires for a 4x4 that never sees off road and 4 smartphones per house hold and three new cars and complain we can't afford groceries.. haha were a joke
@@uchihasenpai5671the economy which currently is highly consumerist, would also collapse if everyone did this. Money needs to circulate in the economy. Reducing spending is great but too much of a shock to our already fragile economy could collapse it, that's if the forever war budgets don't do it first.
I saved so much money during the height of the pandemic, because I wasn't shopping, eating out, etc. So now I try to live by these rules, but I'm a maximalist. Haha! So I have "organized clutter". Will be donatting/ selling on Ebay many things the next few months and saving money.
Having a car is essential for many, sure it’s expensive but when your needs are beyond just going to work and shopping, it is necessary, especially in North America. Example, those living in much colder climate(can’t imagine carrying grocery bags in -15C 😀), living in suburbs, make frequent trips for leisure, and driving kids around for activities to name a few. Having said that, agreed on number of other things you have said. Life is short, I am not a believer in extreme saving, a balanced approach is what I believe in as tomorrow is not a guarantee for anyone.
Absolutely love your videos. The 48-hour rule I’ve changed to 1 week, if it doesn’t matter in a week it never mattered at all - except a for a drone, I’ve been thinking about that for 4 years 😂 clothing wise, I’m trying to over haul my wardrobe once piece at a time and purchase for multiple combinations that go with everything, as you mentioned. like a black and white tee for men can be used for so many outfit styles!
Awesome tips! Re. spending on clothing for hypothetical events, another great option is renting if that is available in your area! I often rent my dresses to weddings, parties and trips ...much cheaper, more options, less clutter and no one will see me in the same outfit twice! 😊
I found borrowing e/books from libraries a good alternative to buying books. Less physical clutter too, provided your library has a large collection
Yess, I do the same. The apps are amazing and if a book isn't available in my library they can always deliver it. I only buy books that I really want to have in hard copy
Even better you can get pirated ebooks
I only buy used books
@@innocratesC'mon, let's give the writers their due, at least
Loved this video. We are largely on the same page. I want to share what I cut out to save more
1. Going out to eat: I used to do to go out to try new restaurants almost weekly. I realised I much prefer a home cooked meal and going to restaurants on special occasions. If I want to meet up with a friend, I much prefer grabbing coffee and going on a walk.
2. Buying clothes in-between seasons or trendy items: I ask myself now ‘can I wear this piece across multiple seasons and will it still be in fashion in 10 years? If the answer is no, I won’t buy it.
3. Beauty: you’d be surprised how raising your self esteem will save you money. I am happy with my natural hair, lashes and features. I will only get a facial before a big event and I get press-on nails to do them at home by myself. They look exactly the same as acrylics.
4. Useless coffees: I perfected my coffee making skills and got myself some nice portable coffee cups so I can take a homemade coffee with me on my walks or to the office
5. Events: if it’s not furthering my ability to make money or giving me access to specialist knowledge or networks, I won’t go. I don’t value being out for the sake of being out.
I also enjoy free or low cost activities under £20 now such as going for walks in botanical gardens, free or low cost art exhibitions, community events and visiting friends and families to do things like movie nights, baking/pizza/pasta making, paint and sips etc
I like how you explained about a car and you not needing one due to your circumstances. A lot of individuals that make videos make these all or nothing statements - like use public transit - you are wanting money if you have a car, find a different job, so you don’t need a car. It is refreshing that made a simple explanation regarding this working for you. It was nice not getting the all or nothing talk. Makes me want to listen/watch more of your videos. By the way, I live 47 miles from my job - living in the town where I work is not feasible and I carpool with others to save money and wear and tear on my vehicle. We all do the best with our personal situation and you made that known. Thank you
1. Trending Products
2. Bulk Purchases
3. Transportation
4. Home Decor
5. Overpriced Branded Clothing
6. The 48-Hour Rule (Impulse Purchases)
7. Books
8. “Hypothetical Event” Clothing
9. High-Maintenance Treatments
Loved the way you say how we are promoting expensive brands without being paid!
Fantastic tips! I commute using a bike or e-scooter, which reduces my transport costs. I do all my own beauty treatments at home, excluding hair dying (I get that professionally done). Since swapping skincare for more affordable drug store brands that has also made a difference along with not being influenced by hype and marketing. I also have a reduced capsule wardrobe with less items that you can mix and match (in black, creams and beige colours). Completely agree, as you get older the less designer brands matter to you and your peers. True wealth whispers, it doesn't need to shout...
Buy books from charity shops. There's a big range, they cost peanuts and the money goes to a good cause.
The audio quality has improved so much! Thank you!!
I have used the 48 hour rule on and off for years and found it to be amazing and transformative so thank you for highlighting that one. As other posters have alluded to, where I live (Torquay, Devon, UK) living without a car is not an option. Fantastic video again though Nischa, thank you so much x
South Africa demands you to have a car. Taxis are unsafe + travel distances far. Nischa thanks for inspiring me to start my own YT channel! 🎉
I think with effective planning, buying in bulk has its benefits. This is subjective, but I do like your take away and having more choices.
The best way to attain financial security and being debt free is making better investment decisions. I always tell myself you don't need that new Car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 70k in stocks and Defi and made about 380k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million. Delayed gratification always pays off.
I will really like to know how this things actually work and build my finance. My finance is in shambles.
@@Karenfloen There are quite a number of blue chip stocks and Defi assets available in the market, get in on them
@@ShawnArmstrong273 I'm very interested in investing and I have good sum of which I'm willing to put in with the right information. Tried investing myself a few times but I’ve never been in luck picking stocks.
@@Leighwilliams112 Aside from a good capital, you will most importantly need the service of a broker who understands the market, with those you’d be able to preserve your capital and make high yields investment
@@ShawnArmstrong273 Do you have an idea of any good broker I can start with?
Agree to an extent because it all depends as always. I sometimes bulk buy but always the same product that I know we will use up. We have two cars, both paid for upfront, very low cost of maintenance. This comment has been written from a point of view of a person who lives in the Scottish Highlands and have a family of 7. As always take what resonate and apply advice to your own yourney
Thanks Nischa for sharing. Nowadays Im also thrifty in my spendings too. Focus more on the needs than the wants. Glad getting to know your channel✌️
This is a bit of a tip on the flipside though but very helpful for saving time: if a free item/event instead cost $1, would you purchase it? If putting even that small of a pricetag on it isn't justifiable then don't bother and put that time towards something you already know will be fulfilling for you.
I can relate to much of this, people should pick and choose what supports them best. I've decreased significantly on purchasing clothing, jewelry, shoes- wearing what I have and love, no more books, no more household tchotchkes, and minimal self care treatments. And this has happened in my 40s, good for you for realizing these things in your late twenties! I have never valued high end designer products simply because you're only putting money into that company's pocket and you are only losing. Waiving a societal flag does nothing for you as a normal human being in the long run.
I totally agree with your spend less spend better approach. I got rid of my car years ago. I've never been to a nail bar and haven’t visited a hairdresser for years. Also, Ive learnt - the expensive way - about buying home decor and clothes for hypothetical situations. I briefly got into designer clothes but now focus on timeless desigbs ini sustainable natural fabrics
On top of waiting atleast 48 hours to buy something, I always keep the receipt for clothing with the pieces, either in the pocket or taped to the tag. Then I can easily return it if I haven't worn it within a few months. Even if it is past the x day policy, most stores will let you exchange the item.
I am guilty of hypothetical event clothing. Loved the list. Thank you!
Really enjoy watching your content! always pulls me back into reality and makes me think twice about purchases! I measure my purchases on enjoyment value and never rush into purchasing items that bring me small amounts of joy. I shop at kmart for my clothes as I really don't care for designer brands or following trends "I have to wear this to look successful". even food now I tend to lean on cheaper home brands and surprisingly they actually taste just as good or if not better then the premium brands! thank you and keep up the content, really appreciate the mindset this channel brings and the knock back to reality! at the end of the day, be happy with you and your money no one actually cares what you wear or what your hobbies are! spend your money on the things that bring you the most happiness! I can say with out a doubt that having savings had a huge impact on my mental health and feeling a sense of security rather then living pay check to pay check to prove something that most people don't actually value or take for granted.
Thank you!..I will definitely be trying these.
I’ve got to come back to this. You are so smart and knowledgeable! Thank you
Great! Thanks Nischa :) I read summaries or previews and parts of books before deciding on purchasing them as well. I also have a 2-book per author rule (unless they are the major authors of classic literature like Shakespeare, Dickens, Dostoyevsky, Jane Austen or Proust. Everyone else gets a limit.)
Minimalist thinking is fantastic. Welcome to the group. Your videos are great.
I must thank you for the 'Pay Yourself First' which was/is a damn good rule.
And whilst I am a lot more fruggle with my spending these days, #1 - I have use a you want it, wait a month, #2 Know what is important to yourself, that is priceless. #2 rules, you live with your heart not your wallet.
I’m glad to say I too stopped these a long time ago. Bulk buying cleaning products & food reared up during the pandemic because I avoided going to the stores so much & bought a lot online. I had forgotten the energy it takes to deal with lots of food to cook & freeze it in a timely manner in portions & then rotate it, something I do normally but on a much smaller scale. I overestimated my use of sterilisation wipes & still have 2 huge tubs!
I used to love flicking through magazines & bought many. Now I can indulge to my hearts content, courtesy of my library who has online, books of all genres, magazines, audio books. Libby is shared by other boroughs too. All you need is a Libriary Card.
Unfortunately we now live in a age where social media is king. The “influencers” are paid to promote goods & so long as the goods are something you really want, need & can afford, then the choice is yours. However when you keep up with the Jones it’s a road to nowhere financially.
I'm in agreement with the 9 Things. As I'm in the process of strategizing my budget focus, This will allow me to categorize necessity things I spend my money on. I'll also need to budget for Shortform as well. :)
Thanks for the content.
I completely relate to the not spending money on high maintenance beauty expenditures. I don't have the patience for it and I personally find it a waste of money. I get my hair cut but I haven't had a manicure or facial in decades.
Love the 48 hour waiting principle, such a simple yet effective idea.
I love the 48 hr rule! I end up putting in the cart then move to the buy later list and I usually end up not purchasing it and I just delete it.
Try bartering too. I trade what I do with my hairdresser and my accountant. With family, we all look out and bulk buy products we all use; then share those items out. Also share a car with family members if you get on well enough to do so😁. Love your videos Nischa, your career is a world apart from mine, but the same thinking can apply to us all.❤
I totally agree with you on the 48 hour rule, Home decor, and maintenance. I thought I was the only person who can’t stand sitting still for the hour and a half. Lol I do enjoy my monthly pedicures, I always tell them I’m in a hurry so they finish in 30 minutes. 😂
I totally agree with the hypothetical event clothing point
I haven't had a TV for ~ 5 years. I didn't see the need for TV subscriptions when I have internet and YT
Ive been doing some of these tips for the last few years. I stopped buying the latest fashion pieces from my favourite brands and now only purchase timeless pieces. I
Regards to impulse buying and the 48 hour rule. I usually load up my basket with everything I liked and then 24 hours later, I return and end up removing 60% to 70% of the items. Now purchasing a waaaaaay below my means car, because I live 4 mins from a tube station. I will however purchase a nice car once my passive income streams reaches a certain amount to pay for it. Trying not to pay for any more liabilities out of my pocket. Only passive income for the BS things.
Meal planning has saved me a ton of money! At the beginning of the week, I'll plan the meals for the week and only buy ingredients for those meals. I'll also cook enough in one night to have enough food for the next night or two. It drastically limits the impulse take-out food purchases and saves a bit in electricity/gas because I won't be cooking every night.
Living minimally is a great start!
Very true Nischa impulsive purchases need to be thought about more carefully. When you step back and ask yourself do I really need this item, you may realise you are just buying it to keep up with others. Thanks again for your thoughts on these interesting topics 😊
Exactly this!
Absolutely perfect list. We stopped doing all of these things but we just didn't know. Especially the hypothetical event clothes lol that is a brilliant call out.
Really enjoyed this. I’d be curious to know how you shop for timeless pieces and you evaluate designer price tags if you still buy any of such items
I agree with all of these! I have been feeling convicted with my upkeep (lashes, nails, hair). I do want to find ways to minimize my upkeep but continue to feel polished. My mindset is changing and I’m more interested in buying a home and paying off my credit card.
Lash extensions are such a huge expense in my area ($100+) I’ve never been able to justify the expense :(
I do my own nails so thankfully the upkeep of keeping clean manicured nails is on me - it’s quite easy and relaxing once you get into doing them
@@CoKiEsAnDcReAm07 you’re so right. Just like doing your nails, I’m sure there’s alternatives for lashes. I just have to find an alternative! Or just truly find a good mascara and embrace it! Thank you for the encouragement!
@@beedabee1221 falscara do diy kits they don't last as long as salon eyelashes but they would be a fraction of the cost of having them done
When it comes to smart spending, getting rid of the impulse to buy more & quenching that feeling that you should consume more due to environmental pressure really did it for me.
I moved away from a very commercial city with too many people buying to flash their wealth (no surprise, it was heavily Chinese city) and settled in a place with a slower pace of life. I am not a big spender to begin with but changing the environment did a massive deal for me as I no longer felt the need to buy clothes/any household items! Now I wear and re-purpose what I bought during the past years. When I travel for work I visit charity or vintage shops to buy cute items for my house second-hand below 10 dollars. I now make twice the income I made a year back, and my spending decreased significantly after reducing environmental/peer-induced stress. Life has never been better.
Никто на вас не давит. Сами завидуете и хотите быть не хуже других. О каком давлении идет речь? Ищете виноватых?
i remember using so many skincare products to help with just skincare in general and most of the products never worked. I started using a derm formulated product for my skin concerns and that in of itself helped reduce unecessary spending for about 8 years now
Hi Nisha, great content as ever. Your point on transportation is only applicable to places such as London. For example, living in a more rural Scotland makes it impossible to cut costs on a car.
South Africa demands you to have a car. Taxis are unsafe + travel distances far. Nischa thanks for inspiring me to start my own YT channel! 🎉
Nice! Very practical
im from Malaysia, i used to buy products from Guradian/Watson (drug stores) in bulk as at the time, the discounts were seldom and later...most of the items were thrown out due to expiry date. Things i bought were sheet masks, shampoo, sunscreen etc. But now since there is promotion every weekends, ill normally purchase 2 sets of the same product as a back up
I loved all of them except for the transportation one. I live in the US and sadly need a car to get around. These are great tips though. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!!
You can get free books at the library. And some libraries even have e-books for download. If you live in a city where the libraries are interconnected and books can be requested online, then you should take advantage of it.
Hi Nisha, so agree on costly treatments and constant upkeep of nails lashes can cost a small fortune, especially when you can learn how to do those for yourself sure it nice to have treat once in while and also the branded clothing always thought of it as unpaid advertising and gym memberships you can keep fit by just getting outside for daily walks or buy a yoga mat and follow some exercise routine on UA-cam
great simple tips Nicha. Well done as always!
What wise advice! Keep the videos coming.
I hate going to get my hair cut: I only do it twice a year. I also hate dying my hair: I feel that I can invest that time better. However, I can feel the society pressure to dye my hair, but I strive to do it as rarely as I could (given that 40 % of my hair is white).
Just like you, I cannot bare to sit for someone to do my nails, so I leave them as they are. Bonus: they fit any outfit I wear 😂
Nischa. Thank you for the pratical tips. I learned a lot from you. 48-Hour Rule is awesome. Most of the other ones I alerady do. I Bulk purchase but only for what I will buy anyway and negotiate the price and get a discount of sometimes -20 %. I have Shortform since more than a year and it is great.
Great suggestions for saving money and a very clever lifestyle recommendation, in my opinion. I enjoy all of your videos and I'm following them eagerly, both by liking and taking notes.
Heyy im impressed all of the stuffs you share. Its very helpful. I suffer from buying useless stuff syndrome so will defo use the 48 hours rule
Quite in agreement with all the pointers. I already practice them, feels good to know I am not alone.
Thank you for this! I agree we have been conditioned to buy things impulsively and not based on value.
There are other items I stopped paying for, 1. Cable television and entertainment subscriptions. I do my best to skip social media and time wasting activities.
What is the cost to use social media, cable television, and things you can actually get for free?
Keeping it simple ……… life that is!!! I guess ever option in life such as do I go left or right at this moment in time. Come back to just DO YOU, the wealth is in the journey of your life, the dreams that drive you forward to see the future. Without a doubt money is needed to survive, just don’t forget it just a tool. That opens the doors to your future development. ONCE AGAIN Nischa the people in your inner circle, are very fortunate and proud . To have such an incredible amazing individual in their lives. THANKS FOR BEING YOU, till next time 🥂🍾💐💐
Great Content! I use the 48 hours method also but I extended it to 1 week method 😂 and it really works!
Already doing my own treatments, but I will keep getting my brows done. It's quick, affordable and elevates me so much
Simplify things,
Learn to be content and enjoy all the simple needs we have.
Cheers to you Nischa,
I believe I passed the 9 types to stop buying:)
I a agree for almost everything except for the books : I don't think saving 25-30 dollars a month on book will make or break a want ti be lillionaire. However, the idea of one book can change your mindset, spark new habits and/or dig deeper on certain topics which would 10000x the cost of all books spent before (job promotion, job swich, creating a succesful company...)
Another excellent Sunday morning video .. along with my black coffee makes the morning even better
You are awesome Nischa! Great job on videos...very inspiring! I would love to see more spirituality or positivity vids and love the money ones as well! Love them all but those are my favorites! Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing
Inelastic demands: Housing, food, energy, clothing, *debt*. What you decide to pay for those things is up to you.
Eliminate debt which was used to pay for the elastic demands below. Debt used as leverage to increase income is not wasteful.
Elastic demands: entertainment/communication, luxury consumables, social displays of wealth.
So glad the UA-cam algorithm brought me here - immediately subscribed- great content
I have not been always a good saver, but I always believed in the advertising effect when wearing a branded cloth/accessory!!
queen of helpful tips
I completely agree about the clothes, I see something & think oooh that'd be lovely for " this event" & more than likely, just like you said, tge event never happened or by the time it came round I'd changed my mind & bought something else!! Such a waste... 👍
Very good taste on your apartment interior decoration
4.10 great insight about branded cloths
Boy did this help me! I used to be wealthy. Your clothing topics are so true. But I buy a cult-like Western clothing line that I pay a lot for but can re-sell later for about 1/2 the price. I can also buy clothes that way. I've been happy with that.
Thank you for all your insights, I resonate with you. :)
You're so right about books. Some books feel they need to fill a significant amount of pages, in order to make just a few points. Thanks for the tips! Can I ask - how do you prepare yourself to make a video like this? How long did it take to plan the video? How do you prepare yourself to feel like a confident authority?
Finance made simple! Great content thanks for inspiring me to take the leap and start a YT channel 🎉
What about junk food/ restaurant/ eating out/ overpriced coffees? Earlier this year it hit me that dining in is very costly! What with vat, service charge, tipping, etc. One day mom and I dine-ed and aside for the meal and drinks, we spent an extra $150 on service charge, vat, etc. Since then we have really cut back on eating on, and we sometimes do take out. However I would like to cut back on that lol, as well as junk food. I want to try to cut back on buying iced coffees, boba teas, Starbucks, because I've come to realize that it all adds up at the end of the month, and it's not something that I need. My toxic trait is treating myself if I've had a long day or bad day, and that treat is Starbucks or boba tea lol and I need to start changing that.
Thankyou great tips to save some money,one thing you didn't mention is cooking up lunches like meal prep for the week ahead as I find this saves me time & money,keep it up though great videos 😊
Completely agree with all the points!
Hi Nisha
I love your short video and find your hints and tips really very useful. Thank you
Good list. I look at time as a resource more precious than money (and one that can’t be made). So I’ll point out that a lot of these tips save both time AND money. Win!
Interesting takes, you def got me thinking how much more I can cut without it impacting negatively.
Thank you! Great content.
💯, I'm phasing into the identical wardrobe apart from My work uniform and garden overalls.
Great advice ..well explained !
I agree with all of these but there is one high maintenance treatment I do - the cysteine treatment for my hair helps me save a lot of time (and maybe money). My hair is naturally curly and frizzy and VERY hard to manage. The treatment makes it super easy to wash and dry plus I hardly have to brush it between washes and I don't have to put any products in my hair between washes. It just works. This is one that the upfront time and money investment every quarter pays off in time and mental comfort later on.
Totally justified!
Thanks 💞
Very useful video and i agree completely with what you said..Thanks
Love your lessons! Thank you for the guidance ❤
