    Another thing no one ever mentions is being fat. clothes are more expensive, harder to find and rarely make you feel or look good which leads to more shopping. Getting down to a healthier weight helps you save a lot of money and really contributes to a happier healthier lifestyle. That’s what I’m working on, I will not allow myself to buy any more clothes until I have to replace what I currently own with smaller sizes. Love this vid, I have watched it more than once.

    I'm so glad I found you! Fast fashion is something I've definitely given up as I turned into late 20s. It's just not worth it. I've also given up:
    1. Super fancy skincare (I invest in the essentials)
    2. Regular salon visits (home DIYs are excellent)
    3. Looking at malls/cafes as the only way to kill time (and a shitload of money) on a weekend

      Now our favorite thing to do once a month instead is getting something nice to eat at home. It is usually cheaper since we love mom and pop restaurants (more affordable).

      I think at least some were also about realizing money's worth (eg. the gym membership). And she even says partway into the video that she's not judging other people for their purchases, but I think it's helpful to hear. I suspect that she has more flexibility in her schedule, running her own business, than she did on Wall Street, which probably helps w/ meal prep and packaged foods. But it's interesting to think about anyhow. As a woman with more textured hair that's frizzier than hers, I definitely do not intend to give up my hair straightening treatments, but conversely I never drank so alcohol was never an expense for me. But knowing how expensive many of the things she mentioned can get, I think it is worth at least thinking about the extent to which one can consume in more moderation, just like w/ meat consumption w.r.t. animal welfare and the environment.

    I'm with you on all of these points Rose!! Especially the extra makeup, I've also figured out what works for me and have narrowed it down to a handful of products and I save so much money! I guess our 20's really are when we are learning about ourselves so I'm not too hard on myself for all those purchases, just glad I don't do it now! Thanks for another great video!

  • @joannapatterson4625

    Thank you, Rose, for sharing this. I am very excited about reading through all the comments and getting even more ideas. Here is my contribution: I no longer buy household cleaners, but instead use simple, healthier cleaning options, which are versatile and cost pennies. Vinegar is good for all-purpose cleaning and the smell, which my kids used to complain about, dissipates quickly. I cannot abide the smell of bleach or the fact that it is caustic so Peroxide has become a good friend during the pandemic. I refill a spray bottle and often spray frequently touched surfaces such as light switches, toilet handle, door knobs, etc. Remember to let sit before wiping.
    Toilet bowl cleaner? Baking soda works better and costs pennies. It also works very well for cleaning sinks both stainless and ceramic. Rinse well. It is also fantastic for cleaning fruit and vegetables if you do not buy organic.
    Wood cleaner? Make your own by mixing vinegar, water, and orange oil or another essential oil.
    Bathroom cleaners can be made using Tea Tree oil.
    Laundry detergent? Pure Castille Soap and a cup of vinegar added to the rinse water.(Buy the store-brand gallon size vinegar for best economy)
    Fabric softener? Take a pass. Most are too strongly scented and I just don’t need the chemicals against my skin. I use my dryer as little as possible anyway. I love for my bed linens to smell of outdoors. Drying racks are effective in the winter. I place mine in front of the heating vent to add a little moisture back into the air. Saves me running a humidifier.
    Lawn chemicals? Just say NO. My philosophy is that as long as the yard is green, it’s good. We don’t need to compete with our neighbors. All it’s doing is killing off the pollinators, which we desperately need, and running directly into the water table.
    The more natural we leave our yards, the more they can be shared by wildlife :)
    We definitely need far less than we’ve been programmed to believe we need. And much of what we have been programmed to believe we need is very bad for us and downright irresponsible to sell.

    Amen to the alcohol! 🙌 i decided to go completely sober at 26 for health and money reasons. Tbh, I’m extremely introverted so I never “partied” but those alcohol costs still add up when you have a drink at dinner or go out to a girls date at a vineyard. I never really liked the taste either except for a select few kinds. I mostly drank from social pressure. Going completely sober was easier than I expected as everyone didn’t really care. I was afraid of the peer pressure but everyone was really cool with it. I also bring my water bottle with me everywhere including on vineyard dates with the girls ❤️

    Im so glad I found your channel. I just turned 31 this month and finally sat down to create a spreadsheet about the debt that had been carried over from my 20s, as well as taking a hard look at my spending habits. I probably spend most of my salary on the things you have listed and more, which doesn't help me to met financial freedom and instead doomed me to mainly pay off debt with little to no savings after each paycheck. Furthermore, since the start of the pandemic, I realized that my current savings were not sufficient to help me with emergency fund. I am taking a really hard look at my income and spending, and will need to work extra hard to build an emergency fund. I appreciate your video which confirms that bad spending habits will only make oneself poorer. I hope to save around $20k-30k for the next two years and eliminate the need for discretionary spending which does not benefit me.

  • @Capernicus19

    I can definitely relate to a lot of these. I spend a little more on good quality clothes but I buy less and make sure my wardrobe has items that coordinate well with each other, it's so freeing decluttering all that btw. I also don't buy souvenirs anymore, I invested in a good camera and just take photos on my trips and then compile them in a personalised photo/coffee table book. The more we learn about ourselves the more comfortable and accepting we become with the idea that happiness truly does come from within and we don't require such upkeep to conform to standards that actually don't reflect reality or serve anyone.
