I think these are all great ideas, and I also love how it ties into self-acceptance and not needlessly buying into beauty standards that don't make a difference anyway!!
The hair, makeup and brows are the things I just can't give up due to my hair style, but recently found a cheaper way. Instead of going to a fancy alone I started going to a freelancer who does hair in her house at a fraction of the cost. I just get brows threaded but its only £6 so its not a huge cost for me and I only go once every few weeks and tweeze in between. I used to get my nails done all the time but completely gave up, such a waste of money for sure. I used to also get coffee everyday, I wasn't able to completely give this up so I limited it to just 3 to 4 times a week max, but then home cook all my food. With makeup I just buy once or twice a year in the sales, before I used to buy tons and not use most of it
These are all such good ideas to save!! I have super curly hair, and so I decided to invest in a salon quality curly hair care products (because it actually saves me more than going to the drugstore because my hair/ scalp are soooo picky). It’s been really eye opening and important for me to take a look at my finances and see what things I’m willing to let go of and what things are needs. Thanks for all of your videos they’ve been super helpful as I’m on my financial journey. 😊!
I stopped drinking at the beginning of the year. Not only did it mess with my sleep, but it messed with my money. I think I spent $25 a week on alcohol, which is already a lot for me because I plan on being debt free by the end of the year. I could've used that money on groceries or to pay off debt 🤦🏽♀️
thank you for sharing. i also dont find the need to buy a lot of the things you mentioned and sometimes doubt my choices / preference. tbh, this video has given me more confidence.
I'm not paying for most of the same items. Letting go of cable was the best thing ever👌! No manicures but I do miss the pedicures..oh well I do enjoy my home spa nights. I also maintain my own hair and have scaled back on my skincare. Makeup is minimal and I don't wear more than a lippie, mascara, and my brows. Now that I'm working remote gas and car repairs have gone down. Always make my own coffee. If I have a seasonal SB it's because I have a gift card or someone is buying. Great content, I'm WFPB so cooking at home is so worth it. I limit processed vegan items. Grocery is the biggest drain so I'm really trying to reign that one in and make some dents in the debt. Going to re evaluate the subscription services, Amazon, Netflix

It's pretty freeing not to worry about those things too!

It's definitely ok if you want to spend on these things, we all have priorities and preferences! I love that you found more affordable options!!

I too started investing in quality shampoo/conditioner since last year, definitely worth it!

That's probably what people spend on average, if not more!
But good for you for giving it up and now you'll be out of debt that much faster! 😊

No need to fit in with the norm here 😊

Sounds like you've narrowed it down quite well 👏👏
My hair REALLY needs to be cut but I've just been avoiding it and it keeps getting longer 😅
I’m guilty of paying for in app purchases for games lol but I have given that up because that is a very expensive habit and a HUGE money 💵 waster
Yay that's good!!
Starbuck needs to be my thing not to buy! Ironically this pandemic is stopping me in a weird horrible way!
Lol I think many people are going to be saving money right now because it's inconvenient or not available right now!
Personal Finance with Leila that’s true and the money can’t be spent going out!
