I decided recently that I'm letting more calls go through to voice-mail. I don't have to be at everyone's disposal right away. If I'm resting, I turn my phone on "do not disturb" mode. That way, only "starred" contacts can call through. I've done this while I've had the flu, and it works great!
I'm saying No to chasing so called friends on the phone! It's A two way street, unless they are really ill. I understand being sick. I'm saying No to inviting lots of people over for dinner or get togethers that don't reciprocate. I'm also saying No to sending out too many cards for Christmas or Easter, and answering all phone calls. They can go to voicemail! Also a big No to listening to all the rhetoric of the US News! Have a great day! Sandra 💙 🇨🇦 💙

Any cards are done online, but if I don't get one from them I stop sending them out. We never had friends for dinner, instead we ate out. Am not a kitchen person. Letting phone calls go to voice.
House is finally over the flu! While everyone was sick I kept myself away from them by decluttering in between being their nurse. New budget set monthly because my hubby is not on board but we're making progress. Out and about shopping mainly for groceries and stickly to my budget. Taking life one day at a time. ❤
Increasing my frugal journey. I started saying "no" when I turned 60, and you will find that the 60th birthday really puts you in focus of your surroundings. Don't compare yourself. You are you, an original! At 60, I found a lot of your 10 ideas that just automatically started, but I didn't have to think about them. They just were part of the 60 me! As we make that transition from our 50s into 60s, you will find where a lot of stuff just isn't important anymore. The little insignificant things that ruled over us just become distant memories, some we regret because that is where the money went and now you have none. Some will be life experiences that you can look back on and be thankful you got the opportunity! Blessings from 🇨🇦
When people would chide my grandmother for her outspoken or unyielding behavior, she used to say "I'm old, and I've earned the right to do what I want." I think we all get to a point where we feel that way. We spend much of our youth and early adulthood accommodating and pleasing others, and then it's time to focus on our own needs. In addition to your list, I'm not going to put off taking steps to create the life I want for my "third act". At 64, I have ~20 years left so now it's all about what makes me happy!
I am saying no to books I don’t read, hobbies are no longer do, buying clothes online that never fit, I’m not going to thrift stores to buy stuff that I don’t need and I just Decluttered my house. I’m saying no to people who are only using me for whatever reason if I don’t wanna do something I’m not doing it. That’s all I have to say I’m not doing it… 2025 is about Me self-care, and finally getting out of debt. this is a nobody year for things that I won’t, but do not need the only thing I’m going to buy me when I get my last debt paid off, which will be the end of this month is a new mattress for my bed, which I deserve because this is a hand Mr down mattress…. And it’s killing me. It’s gonna be about me me and me 2025 and what I can do to make Me happy and feel better about myself !
Those are all very important things to address. I'm celebrating a new mattress for you, too. A good mattress totally changed my quality of life. I hope you find one that "fits" you.

I declutter my closet in spring and fall for items I know I won't wear anymore, kitchen stays decluttered regularly and bathroom. Group homes near by I drop off items to.
Find small businesses that sell NEW mattresses that have a tiny defect (ex: small crooked seam, little dirty spot where plastic tore in shipping). You can get $1200-2000 NEW brands for a couple hundred dollars!!! Such savings.
If we as people happen to be givers to others, there is a chance that when someone asks for financial help, we will sometimes give in. If it happens once in a blue moon, and we have the money to give that's one thing. But if it's a person asking for financial help because over and over again they are in some type of bad financial situation all the time, then it's time for us to start saying, "No" or "I'm sorry I'm not able to help" and stick to that! Because at times there are people who don't mind taking advantage of others if they can get away with it.

Tell them you are not a bank/ money is tied up in investments/ only live on S.S./401k for basic living expenses. I never got asked for financial help because I never gave in. People just take advantage, like a friend and a sister got used for money they never got back. I drive an econ. car, modest apt., and may have lots money tied up invested.
I agree with you, but some of us did get taken in the past, and woke up and realized it, and changed our ways (thank goodness) lol. For some of us it isn't easy cause we've tried to help others all our lives so that makes us (at times) an easy mark. Once realizing that, we can change and do better though! 👍
I agree. It's hard when you know someone is struggling, and you are able to help financially. But, should you? If it's a one-time deal that's truly an emergency, that's different. My father never lent money. He gave it as a gift. He was a very generous person and had it to give. However, he didn't give it over and over to the same person.
I let a pastor talk me into coming back to his church which is a half hour from my house, to play piano. That’s two trips on Sunday so that’s 2 hours of just driving not counting dragging all my stuff in and out of the car and the kids. At 65 I’m still raising children. I really don’t want the responsibility. Plus I’m not enjoying it. I skip Wednesdays. I homeschool in addition to my other household chores and I’m tired. I’ve been mulling over in my mind how and when to tell him I’m quitting.
Tell him the truth. You didn’t realize , when you told him that you would do it, that it was going to actually be a hardship on your family commitments. And since you realized it, you must disappoint him and resign…wishing him the best as they search for another pianist. (Our church uses technology now when we don’t have a pianist.)
Just be honest. It’s too much for you with all the driving, wether it’s the cost of fuel or just your time. You don’t have to say that you don’t enjoy it. I would just stick with the driving issue. I think that’s good enough.
Girl! You and I are definitely on the same page!! Those are like the extract same things I’m working on too, although I’m more on a journey to health promoting behaviors instead of just weight loss. Saying no, quit procrastinating, not making excuses to myself or others…well, everything you said on this video is where I am currently at too. Keep reminding me about these things on your daily videos. 😊
Our biggest monthly expense is food. Both eating out and making food at home. And I need to cut back. We have a house full of food. Maybe 1% goes bad but most of that goes to our chickens or compost. I’d like to have zero waste. I like the age I am now, 59, and I don’t care to explain things to others. When I say no to something, that has to be good enough… especially if it’s personal why I said no. Getting easier to say no all the time.
I don't eat out very often, but I have given myself the month of January to eat out as I please. I passed all my health exams from head to toes in December and am giving myself January to eat where and what I please (within reason as I watch sodium, carb and cholesterol intake). It is amazing how nice it feels to get restaurant food. Sometimes it is good for the spirit of a woman to eat out.
I realized that a change is needed for thinking about selling the house and moving into a 55-plus apartment near everything, and all utilities are included . Know they will raise the rent each year, too. See the stress it has on my hubby. It's too much work for him as well his health isn't good with this video ! Thanks so much for sharing this 😊
If you're not comfortable selling your house because of the upkeep, maybe you need to rethink your plan. Look into property that's smaller with less yard and upkeep. We've thought of downsizing, but circumstances have arisen that we're glad we have the space.
@3TXSisters Thank you for the idea. Right now, the housing market is so ridiculous priced that we will have to wait. We have a duplex home it's just too much, and don't rent out the other side. We get people knocking on the door if it's for rent or leave a note. there are four duplex homes on my block as well.
You have me thinking again...lol. Great list, Dawn! Your succinct videos always seem to be right on time for something going on in my life. The thoughtful & direct way you present your points are so helpful! I am nearing retirement and am in my later '60's. It's a real challenge after a lifetime of being the person that my family goes to to all kinds of help, to realize that I have to make adjustments. I will soon, no longer be in a position to say "yes" to things I would have before.
It is a difficult decision. It is necessary to be a little more selfish with your time and energy. It's hard to admit, but I can't physically do as much as I could four years ago. You must reserve yourself for truly necessary tasks. At least I do.

Good video, Money Mom. If a good friend came and talked to you in person about how bad things were for them, would you really not discuss things with them? I agree that if this becomes the main focus of your time together, then it can become burdensome for you.
I love your list. The first for me is something I've been doing for years, and that is not watching the news or anything depressing. I keep up with current events to a certain degree, but I can't allow myself to be sucked into the negativity. That goes along with your comment about negative people. I have a relative with whom I must keep in touch. It's usually a brief chat because I can't help her circumstance, nor will she do what I perceive to be a solution. Yes, I know I'm not omnipotent, but will give my opinion when asked. I'm not shopping sales for a bargain. If I don't need anything, I don't need to shop. Like you, I'm not completing a book or watching anything that I don't thoroughly enjoy. I used to think I had to slug through a book because it must get better for the rave reviews it received. I'm not like everyone else. It's taken me 73 years to realize that. I'm so grateful to you and your community. It's helping me keep sane in this stressful time of life. Love to all, Linda 💕
We try to frame things in the affirmative vs the negative. This year we will be saving money by continuously looking to see what we already have before purchasing things. We will find entertainment at home or at free and low cost entertainment venues. We will think carefully about our lives and goals over the next 15 years before getting a puppy. We will ve careful to make a decision that is practical and not one while grieving. We will find fun recipies using the fruits and vegtables we grow vs eating out. We have a goal of spending no more than $250 total this year on resteraunt food and drink. ($50 each), not including buisness expenses. We will always check the library before buying books. We will check to make sure we have read every book in the house and on our tablets before buying more books.
Excuses are dishonest! I gave up trying to come up with excuses many years ago, Just say No. People can't argue with that or try to keep talking you into something you really don't want to do And the idea of wasting MY time on books I don't find interesting---it's just not gonna happen again. I'm not in school. I'm my own boss and will choose the literature or videos I want to use up precious life time with. :)
Dawn, you are starting 2025 off, right? We're thriving and not crying! 😂 Unless you want to with joy! A 40-pound loss is magnificent! You look beautiful! 🌷No, it is a powerful word! You touched on the most important ones to keep your sanity! Especially all 10! I enjoyed not spending more money on fattening foods and unnecessary items. I stopped asking people to give to charity or causes years ago! I only do what I can do. But, I will ask them to pray; other than that, I just say no to projects, I'm not interested in! I pass them down to the younger generation to give them something to do! 😅 Blessings..✨️🌤🌞🌤❤️✨️
Saying no to things that don't serve a purpose. If I have to find a purpose don't count. I must need it but that can go for things that are not an emergency. Because I have to get while I can.
It takes a while to see results. If you're exercising more, muscle weighs more than fat. So, don't be discouraged by little or no loss for a while. You can do it!
I'm saying no to a lot in 2025. And this book has helped me do it. I want to recommend it to you since I know you are a fellow book lover. The book "The Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins is a complete game changer for people who want to change their lives for the better. I honestly can't say enough good things about this book. It's a simple concept, but very effective. It published just before Christmas.
For 2025, I've started disragarding my own rigid mindset and opinions. I can't say that's "saying no" to my set-in ways, but it's rather being open to different ways of doing things.
I decided recently that I'm letting more calls go through to voice-mail. I don't have to be at everyone's disposal right away. If I'm resting, I turn my phone on "do not disturb" mode. That way, only "starred" contacts can call through. I've done this while I've had the flu, and it works great!
I need to that. I might do that permanently with all the spam calls I get even tho I’m on the do not call list.
Love it
Good for you!!! Great idea!😊
I let it go to voice for certain people.
@@larmstrong2302 I just did that and hope it works.
No more buying too far ahead for a rainy day, and living more in the moment.

I'm glad you didn't get sick and everyone is healthy! Keeping to a budget is difficult if everyone's not on board. Good for you!
Saying no to bad habits. Saying no to habits that no longer serve me. Saying no to settling for less than I deserve.

So true! At 73, I'm trying to improve my health by losing weight and walking more. Start now if you need to be more healthy.
Nice video you are looking well. 😊
Thank you 😊
I usually 3 chapters in a book, if it doesn’t grab my attention I don’t finish it!
I try to give it 100 pages. Sometimes, i’m lucky to get to 20!

Saying no to things that don't serve a purpose. If I have to find a purpose don't count. I must need it but that can go for things that are not an emergency. Because I have to get while I can.
For sure
Congratulations on your weight loss! I have been trying but the weight is hanging on. I will keep trying
It takes time and dedication but you can do it!
It takes a while to see results. If you're exercising more, muscle weighs more than fat. So, don't be discouraged by little or no loss for a while. You can do it!
I'm saying no to a lot in 2025. And this book has helped me do it. I want to recommend it to you since I know you are a fellow book lover. The book "The Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins is a complete game changer for people who want to change their lives for the better. I honestly can't say enough good things about this book. It's a simple concept, but very effective. It published just before Christmas.
Thank you for the recommendation. I'm always looking for new books to read!
I adore Mel
Sounds good. Thank you for the recommendation!
Yes , it's better to go ahead and get something done now , before you end up paying more money in the future , because you didn't take care of it.
I agree
That's true for so many situations! ❤
You are inspiring me to eat less and lose some weight. Congratulations on your
weight loss.
I'm so glad I could help!
Congratulations on your weight loss! That’s a difficult thing to do!
It’s been a long journey, but it’s been worth it!
Looking very good ❤
Thank you!

For 2025, I've started disragarding my own rigid mindset and opinions. I can't say that's "saying no" to my set-in ways, but it's rather being open to different ways of doing things.
I love that you're trying new things!
Excellent!
Discussing politics! I only care about what happens in my area, and if something bothers me I'll do something about it!
Good for you!
