    Is there anything you’re choosing to intentionally not partake in this year?

      No new clothing, no new purses, coffee/tea drinks, no new books or book club memberships.
      Thanks to you we are going to be a one car family. I'm no longer worried about getting a second car. 🤍

      -one use kitchen gadgets or appliances
      -asking family members to not buy any souvenirs for us from their travels. And buying souvenirs from our own travels
      -Plug ins for air fresheners

    Love the library! I sign up online for my favorite authors’s books before they are published, so I am early on the hold list. My husband and I are big readers, we could never afford all the books we read. Thanks.

    Everything is realtive...we are older and my husvand loves a cup of coffee when we are out, maybe once a week. He enjoys it and I enjoy watching him! One can be wise and not go out everyday for that cup of whatever you like. We pace ourselves and instead on NOTHING in certain categories, we are flexible, enjoy life, and continue to be wise with the money we worked hard for. I do put restraints on myself when it come to UA-cam "influencers", "Amazon" hauls and ALL their hauls!!!!!

    One thing that keeps me in line if wanting something, is asking myself "Am I buying this thing for myself, or for imaginary me?"
    Mostly, it isn't for real me😅

    I just learned about making forever candles with Cisco. I’m using up all my dented candles. And gonna refill them with new wicks and Cisco. Also found cute craft where you Mod Podge the outside of the glass, top with glitter and put in tea lights. So cute!

    Good list! I also stopped buying seasonal decor and got rid of most of what I had. I can bring something in from outside, or better yet, go outside instead of trying to bring the outside in!
    Shopping (besides the financial drain) can consume so much time and mental energy. Even if we are not buying things daily, how much time is spent each day thinking about buying, comparing, looking for the best deal, etc? Having a no- buy list can be so freeing!

    • @jessicarothley

    I am currently a SAHW (Stay at home wife) & such a homebody anyway, so I can dress more casually & comfortably. Just coordinating outfits for Church, my husband's family, etc. meetups & running errands... 😊❤So, I have plenty to wear!
    Clothes, shoes & accessories; makeup & toiletries!!
    The only exceptions are replacements for well-loved & worn out or used up items.
    Also, being new to the Southwestern US & its upcoming very hot Summers, I will invest in some linen items. Using hair & skin moisturizing items a lot & sunscreen more often than when living in Midwestern US ❤
    Thank you as usual, Jess, for your applicable, relatable content. ❤

    I love how real you are in your videos, Jessica! I 100% agree with you, high rise jeans are a no! Tight workout wear is also a no since becoming a Mom. I had to laugh when you said your daughter wont wear the cute outfits you buy bc my 3 y.o. son is the same way. I am on a super cheap clearance or thrift store only clothes for my son this year. No point in buying something he won't wear!

    I'm also doing a super low buy year so my husband and I can build our business without needing to work anywhere else. Good luck. Thanks for the info and inspiration.
    Workout clothes is a big one. I realize I always just wear the leggings that I wear every day.
    I only get my weekly coffee out and I'm figuring out how to make coffee I actually enjoy at home. I can even make cold foam with my machine.
    I wish we had good local meat near me, I should look into seafood though, and how that's handled here.
    I'm trying to use the Little Free Library instead of buying physical books. Our library sucks, unfortunately. Even using Libby with my library card sucks 😔
    I literally have a prepaid phone, it does everything any other phone does and it was $35 and I pay $50 for a year plan and buy extra data for $10 two or three times a year.
    I'm working on returning things I don't love if I do spend the money on something.
    Beeswax candle recs please. I don't need them now but I like to hoard the info for when I do need them.

    • @jessicarothley
