    Eating out is our biggest waste of $$$. To our shame, I added up what we spent eating out in December, and it was over $800. I’ve committed to not eating out this month!!

    Dining out and subscriptions can be silent and sneaky ways that siphon off your money. Once you become aware of the little things that are eating away at your ability to save it becomes that much easier to start cutting them out. Great video Rachel!

    I’m a foodie so before the pandemic I used spend tons of money on restaurants. During the pandemic most restaurants only had to go and I don’t like that so I stopped going out. I got so used to it now, that I hardly go out to eat unless it’s a special occasion and I set out an amount I want to spend. The good thing is that I love to cook, so this has helped me

We buy bulk alot too. And end up only having to restock those bulk items about every 2 months or more. Non perishables of course.

      I understand! My whole budget is $1000 per month. How can I save the whole amount and still pay tithing, put some in savings, and then pay for all the needs during the month? I like Rachel, but she's a little out of touch with some of us. Don't give up, though, saving a little bit each paycheck will add up over time.

    Love store brands except for cereal. When the store puts their company name on it they want you to like it to remember their brand. I love the much lower prices on basics like lactose free milk, salsa, frozen veggies and pharmacy stuff, but for me, not cereal.

    • @TheRozylass
      @TheRozylass 2 роки тому +1

      It's just a matter of retraining your tastes. I was raised on name brand Cheerios. When I got married and had children I found that I couldn't afford that brand so I tried others. At first they tasted strange, but after a few times I forgot what the original had tasted like and never looked back. Funny thing is that when we went to visit grandma and she served Cheerios, our children thought they tasted weird and didn't like them. So it's not that one is better or worse; just different and you can get used to just about anything.

    Not to be that guy, but the person needing to save $1,000 (the target audience) is not going to be spending $150 on coffee.
    Maybe I’m wrong though. I do swipe my card at the vending machine at work.
    I could have just convinced myself in this comment conversation to myself that already I do actually probably spend $5/day at the vending machine.
    Dang, that’s crazy. That adds up quick.

I was able to pay off my car last year 2021 and my student loans this spring 2022. However this slowed my building my $1000 for baby step 1. I was only introduced to Dave Ramsey radio show my freshman year in college. I just have always hated being in debt even before this.

    • @tanyapinnock2347
      @tanyapinnock2347 2 роки тому +1

      Is that 700 per week or per month? The emergency fund is more than a new set of tyres or insurance gap. From what Rachel said in the USA, 8 hours of minimum wage for 4 week would get you enough. So maybe have a look at the cost of possible emergencies. Perhaps aim for 100 then 200 etc and try and at least have 350 and then aim for 700. I cut costs by not buying new clothes except when really needed and not eating out etc. I think it depends on your stage of life a little and what you can find to cut out and what extra jobs you can find or what you can sell. Good luck!

      Not that I'm an expert, but I could see that, if someone buys in bulk to save money, it could turn into hoarding. If they think "I already spent the money on this, and I don't know if I'll need it one day" could turn into hoarding a lot of things they don't need. I feel like it could come down to if the person who's saving money also knows when to get rid of stuff or knows how often they use that stuff

      The answer is yes, it can. The hard part is finding a healthy balance between spending and saving. Typically, once you start saving a lot of money, you just want to see that number grow. Remember, building wealth is about how much money you keep, not about how much money you can spend.
