    I'm glad I don't need a car when I can cycle to everywhere. That saves SO much every month

    Cutting my own hair is really a game changer on saving money. I would go for a haircut every two weeks and pay £16 for a really basic haircut. It's about £380 a year where I bought a set of wahl clippers back in 2022 and learnt to cut my own hair. It saves me so much time and now I quite enjoy it.

    I’ve just started number 11 the end of last month. It’s a one year long savings account and you can save between £25 and £250 per month and you get 7% interest. It may not be the best rate but it’s locked away and I’ll have £3000 that I put in plus £210 in interest if my maths is correct. I’m not the best saver so this is definitely going to be a challenge to put £250 in every month but it’s going out on payday and getting that money on the 27th of September next year will be brilliant. I’m planning to pay off any debts I have and then put the rest in an online bonus account which is also 7% interest and then starting one again

      7% is amazing! Build up that starter emergency fund first, and then tackle that debt!

      7% is crazy high interest!
      Highest I've heard of last couple years is closer to 3.5~4.0% per year.
      Make sure you take potential fees into account aswell so as to not get too discouraged when it doesn't add up all the way to 210$ in the end.
      All the best!

    I always carry an apple in my bag so I can eat it at the bus stop on my way home. Re home haircuts - I haven’t been able to get the hang of cutting my own hair, it always ends up choppy over my ears. But I try to stretch out my haircuts to only 3 or 4 times a year.

    all of this low key triggered in some way... most because duh, but not only.
    The facebook thing I guess is fine although I'm skeptical.
    These videos are better as minor counterintuitive tricks, like that guy who showered with his dirty clothes (although that's just wacko).
    "get a savings account and put money in it" or "cut your hair yourself" are kind of waste of my time advices. How about those youtube video making advices huh

      All good man, thanks for the feedback! Like most UA-cam channels, this is just a person sharing and communicating ideas to bring together people who are passionate about the same thing, in this case: frugal living and bettering our financial behaviors. There’s a ton of niche channels sharing ideas that may seem like common sense to some, but a new concept for others. I have done a lot of financial coaching for people for free, and a lot of them don’t realize that there’s more room in their budget if they just get a little more creative and implement some ideas like this. So probably this list just wasn’t a fit for you, and that’s fine!
