What really freaks me out is how some people who live in relatively large houses STILL have to rent storage units away from their houses because they have too much stuff. So they are paying rent for storage and they don't even have easy access to their belongings. I don't understand why they can't realize that they have TOO MUCH stuff???
I have seen that myself. I think it stems from the urge of keeping things and not letting some things go. Always the what if situations people are planning for or the hoarding mentality.
Rental storage units is a huge drain of finances... I can go on and on about that.
Americans love "stuff" You are told through commercials that what you once owned is now outdated.
George Carlin has a great bit about how much we're obsessed with getting more stuff! Having a storage unit was such a huge drain on my finances, and most of the stuff I had in there was hand-me-downs from my parents which I didn't even end up using because I had higher quality goods that my fiancee and I had. Instead of wasting money and space on these goods I learned to let go of them instead, and committed myself to not buying unnecessary stuff that I would just need a storage unit for anyway.
Another health benefit from not drinking alcohol is that you are guarantied never to become an alcoholic.
neat, do one next on inflatable pizzas
Why I shouldn't buy it? Ahhh man, I bought it already. =/
Lil G Funk Owned lol
+Lil G Funk Little do you know, inflatable pizzas will be the currency of the fuuuuture and +BeatTheBush's cornering the early market!
you can warn us, talk about what its for, why we don't need it, etc
Guys, the inflatable pizza duels as a back up sleeping mat for visitors & also entertainment for fatties :D
Yep, don't buy souvenirs for yourself. They will be sitting around collecting dust.
My #1 don't buy is bottled water.
Agreed. =D
Yes don't buy things that you can easily get for free
if you don't buy a high quality bottled water you will pay with your health.
Most of the time this is great, but if you’re out traveling in another country, it might be best to buy bottled water
A study found that bottled water often contains more microplastic particles than tap water. Also a risk of pthalate and BHP contamination.
Love the way you think man. I've offered advice to friends with financial trouble but they just don't want to make a move. Stuck in their ways I guess. I grew up in a cluttered home and didn't even realize how bad it bugged me until I got my first apartment at college. I only bought a few pieces of furniture and it was pure bliss. My life has since gotten cluttered again and it's feeling great to shell a lot of this stuff.
I advice is to not offer advice until they see you do well and they ask you for advice. It's too hard to force your own ideals on others.
Yeah same here, I get more and more clutter and seems like it never goes away! More effort to reduce stuff!
Good point. I still doubt they will see the light. Oh well. Never thought about more effort to get rid of stuff. Sure feels good to see stuff clear out though.
Right. Then they run into trouble and guess who they want to borrow from. Mr. Penny Wise. This applies at every income level, except the super rich. And even they get into financial trouble. I think Trump has declared bankruptcy (corporate and personal, I believe) a few times. I'm sure he is in vast company. Oh. GM got an hand out from O-bailout. And this year, they're in trouble - again (and laying off tens of thousands of workers).
You are very right about the borrowing mess. I've cut most of them off. Some even at a loss. I still loan money to friends that pay me back.
Watches are good for professional settings or even during physical activity. Also I'm not fond of being totally dependent on smartphone since we already stare at screens too often.
This is another area where BeatTheBush doesn't understand the value of things(i.e a watch). It is not that you can't tell time, but how much more convenient is it if you had a watch. If you are busy with clients and don't have a watch to know when to end a meeting- what a disaster?!
You have a point with physical activity. Although, I tend to get anything on my wrist ripped off my wrist during intense physical activity.
I rather not even look at the watch with a client because it's rude and you can see the quick glance.
Watches are not for looking up the time. They are jewelry, like your necklaces and bracelets.
If you are with a client, pulling out your cellphone is a lot more rude. If your time is worth money and the clients are paying you for your time, you need to keep things moving. Another example BeatTheBush where a watch is useful is doing Pomedros technique using set count down timer on a cheap casio G-shock @ work. You can justify that you don't need things because you have something else that can do it - but you are missing the value of having something available to do it quicker. E.g I can walk, but I drive. I can write letters, but I use cellphone. What you are missing is that the purpose of tools is to enhance human performance. You can always have inferior substitutes but if a tool can enhance the speed/ease you can do things - it is often worth it. Highly recommend getting a G-Shock basic watch on Black Friday. I can't function without mine.
I love it. Especially the part about the alcohol. Many people I know who cant get their money straight keep alcohol on their grocery list of staples. Mind boggling.
Its something I think people should be aware of sooner and not just drink because everyone else was doing it.
Don't visit S. Korea or Japan. They would attack you with lethal force. They turn your refusal to drink into an insult. Somehow it signals trust if you're willing to make an a_ _ of yourself in front of coworkers or friends. I treat myself once a year for my b-day.
A collection that builds its own dust collection? Sounds like compounding returns to me ;)
Dust comes from human's shedding their skin cells.
+Matthew Furney Isn't that compounding in-dust? ...ok, I'll see myself out... :/
So you're saying that the collection is rather 'in-dust-trious'? :p :p :p
I think I'll try to invent a new in-dus-tree! A small one. One that can fit in my house. I'll fire my cleaning lady. :)
Awesome job man!!! I would like to see more episodes
Loved the video, already looking fwd to the future ones, greetz from the Netherlands
=D Thanks! There will be more in the coming weeks! =D
Please continue this series. I really like it!
Will do! =D
I tried to get a friend to watch your videos. They told me the next day they couldnt take you seriously because of all the stuffed animals.
=D HA HAH AH. I cant take myself too seriously either. O_o o_O =D
GCL Broadview - tell your friend he or she is dumb.
I tried to get a friend to watch you, but he was already watching you ;)
Isn't it interesting to see the excuses people come up with not to have to change?
Great concept for a show. You have my support.
There are 13 more in the playlist. =D
i just started watching and im really enjoying your videos. thank you
You're welcome! Welcome to my channel! =D
You are so right about the storage containers!!!
=D
Really good points. Very smart and touches on things that are not so obvious
Looking forward to the next episode! Great video, defining for this channel :)
=D More to come! =D
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!! THIS TOPIC IS GREAT!!!!!!!
Thanks! I have an episode 2 up today. =D
Weddings and funerals and everything related to it.
Great tips, thank you. I love tips like this.
=D You're welcome! =D
Hell yeah great video man. It's like living a minimalistic lifestyle. Everything you own should be things you use. Don't use it? Sell it or give it to Goodwill like I did :)
+trueblue4l1f3 If only more people think that way we wouldn't have so much excess waste.
One thing I'm sill trying to understand is why people buy bottled water for $2 when a reusable bottle is $5 to $10 and can be filled up thousands of times for free.
Justin Oxford some ppl don't like to know they are drinking sewer water
Convenience and belief it is better than tap. Sometimes is is though with lead in some places.
Also, some people are too lazy to carry their water and bottle around or too lazy to clean it. Also, the bottle sometimes has an odor..like a metal bottle has metal smell and changes the flavour of the water. Plastic bottles even worse and collects molds. However, i almost always carry my metal bottle around :D Hate drinking from plastic
Not too much of an issue if you wash it. But I agree, it's just laziness at that point. As a student I have a backpack 90% of the time so it's pretty easy to carry.
True, but there are bottles with portable filters that are also inexpensive (even when you consider the lifespan of the filter). I think a lot of unnecessary costs that people incur come from "convenience fees" or just the cost of buying something instead of planning ahead.
very great ep !
Did you just call me a 'beauty' UA-camr? LOL! Whoa.. did you just give me a ticket to take a break! This is really reassuring indeed! Thanks! =D
lol.... wrong channel hhhh sorry
1) Souvenirs. I love the cheapo ones. Zipper chain, key chain, magnets or post cars. Pictures I can't carry in my pocket easily unless digital.
2) Watches, only really use them on travel. Sometimes your phone dies. Agree with you there.
3) Storage containers. Good point on selling unused and unwanted items.
4) Hand soap. I used to do the foaming machine, but the one with lotions mess it up. I buy Jergens liquid hand soap at Dollar tree for $1.
5) Alcohol. I drink socially and I don't drink that much.
Awesome video! Would love a video on Craigslist because it has a bad reputation but I love it
I was so elated that I bought a good quality wristwatch and it's still working after 24 years! And you're right regarding buying souvenirs. They just clutter up your life (unless you're planning to give them away as gifts).
Nice! 24 years!?!? Wow... I don't think I have anything that old that is electronic.
GREAT TIPS
Thanks! =D
"Functionally you no longer need a watch" I absolutely agree with you, even though I am a watch enthusiast, great video.
Sort of enjoying the idea of one I suppose. =D
Good video and I agree with everything except the watch. A watch for me is useful in four ways: taking a break from the cell phone which has radiation, while working in a setting where taking my phone out is unprofessional, the enhancement of style which helps in business settings and job interviews, checking the time quickly when watching a toddler who is running around.
Sounds like a lot of disagreement with the watch. Another sensitive topic it appears.
I agree with James here, although i don't do watches :) I hate keeping my cellphone around all the time. It's on airplane mode more than not
Maybe I wouldn't say "sensitive." It may be a matter of how much people actually rely on their cell phones. I think taking them out in the states, say in a meeting or with friends is interpreted as disengagement with the person you are with, whereas, perhaps in Asia, you can just excuse yourself and walk away. I don't wear watches because I just ask anyone nearby for the time if I see them wearing a watch. I pull my phone out only if I don't spot anyone wearing one. If I thought it would make the difference between getting a deal or not getting one, I guess it'd be worth it. It'd be interesting to find out how many deals are made because someone is wearing a very expensive watch - as has been suggested above - (rather than the terms of the deal).
I am loving this. Can't wait for more vids you are awesome :o)
Thank! Will do! =D
Depending on what the contents, when you think you'd need/want it, and how reluctant you are to sell/toss it, I'd recommend cardboard boxes. They are generally cheaper, bigger, and more stable when stacked.
I see haul videos on UA-cam but really enjoyed this one. As for watches, I actually find enjoyment in using them. I love the look and am quite fascinated by mechanical watches. I love the Jaeger LeCoultre watches but sooo expensive haha.
Oh... yeah the mechanical watches are a fascination. If you find joy in them then that's a different story.
you can even dilute your dish washing liquid if you wash the dishes with your hands.
Why not put less on? I feel like you need a certain amount to wash with though depending on the strength of the liquid.
One needs to maintain the balance, if the liquid is too diluted then one has to wash again to remove grease. But too much of soap means that you need to scrub just to get the soap off. :-)
phone cases, one is enough. I like this series, keep it up!
Do people really have more than one? I have none.
I've seen people buy more cases mainly for the look because they get bored of the one they have now.
Yes yes! more videos like this please
=D I'm surprised by how much you and others like this series. =D Will do!
BeatTheBush you're awesome
Thanks! =D
You are a very wise man! Had me cracking up when speaking of buying storage containers for all your stuff cause I know people who do that (ever see that show about hoarders)? Not funny!
Used to drink until I puked when I was younger but also smartened up at an early age. I like being myself and clear minded as there's nothing worse than listening to someone who is drunk that repeats themselves over and over. Great video! 😀
Good job. The souvenir trap is huge for some people.
Some will not listen even. Ahh well.
I began to buy souvenir snack foods instead of items that doesn't go away. This creates no junk for other people and they also get to taste the essence of the places I went to.
Hello, BeatTheBush, thanks again for another one of your interesting, useful and inspirational videos. Here is my opinion on the items you talk about here and other items I do not buy.
Hand watch - I only had one handwatch and that was a gift/incentive received from one of the previous companies I worked for. I do not ever intend to buy a watch, if I want to know what time it is, I look at my laptop or, if I’m travelling, I look at my mobile phone.
It’s been a long time I gave up throwing money on souvenirs. The solid soap is cheaper and more efficient than the liquid soap. I stopped throwing money on alcohol a very long time ago, I drink alcohol very rarely.
Other items I do not spend money on:
Pizza - as I don’t eat meat, and since the vast majority of pizza has meat, I only eat vegetarian pizza, but very rarely because it’s very expensive and it has all sorts of nasty cheese on it.
Pickels - I eat pickels very rarerly because of these reasons: First of all, their acid ingered in large quantities damages the walls of the stomach, especially if the stomach is empty. Secondly, the jars full of pickels are heavy and dificult to carry from the grocery store, and there also the stress of not breaking the jar while transporting it.
Ketchup - I do not buy or eat ketchup because it contains lots of sugar and other chemical crap.
Energy drinks and sodas - pure poison. I do consume drinks based on the mix of coffee, milk and sugar, I know they are not very healthy, but there are a lot of unhealthy types of food I do not consume. Plus, I compensate that with eating vegetables pretty often.
I agree with most of the things you mentioned except for the hand washing soap and storage containers. Especially the hand washing soap!
Please explain.
Storage containers can be typically used if you want to store items like books, board games, documents, clothes and many more of uses. I don't own a dresser so i replace a dresser for a storage container. When it comes to moving i would rather not worrying about taking out dresser drawers to lift the dresser. About the hand soap, i did the research and i learned something new. It does say that you can use only water to get rid of most bacteria while washing your hands.
Thank you. 👍🤘✌
on alcohol. when i got married, i thought 75 years sounded like a nice number of years, so i bought 75 bottles on dom perignon, one per anniversary. sadly, we didn't make it that far, so i only open a bottle on major life events. a few years ago, i remodeled the kitchen and found a half gallon jug of jack daniels with a note from the former owner that read "to be drunk when the mortgage is paid off" it was collecting dust since 1959! i doubt it's drinkable, so i stuck another note on the bottle for the next owner of this home. today i went to the class 6 store (on base liquor store) and found out i'd have to special order 3 bottles (minimum order) of dubonnet. i finally finished the bottle from seven years ago and they no longer stock it. i imagine i'll end up leaving two bottles behind when my new house is ready to move into. mr beat the bush, how long did it take to get through that bottle of tequila? that is what type of bottle you are showing?
75??!??! 75!??!?!/ I don't know what a dubonnet is... but... I wont ever find out I think. Trying to drink less and less these days. I shared it with a few friends... so about two rounds of party events. =D It's the anejo gold color one. It sucks. I hear there are much better tequila than Petron for much less.
Yeah. It is a hip-hop status symbol by Sean Combs, formerly known as P-Diddy. I was totally shocked that YOU had a bottle. Who are you really?
The liquid soap thing is great!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. =D
Agreed 100 % I don't use a watch I use my phone to check the time, let me ask you why you still have that watch if is not working ? You can fix it or throw it away Thank you for this video
Great. I hope you continue the series.
I do buy the storage containers, though. LOL I'm a teacher and I use them to keep organized so I do thing there are great uses for them. However---I absolute agree that people buy them and store things in them, things they would have been better of getting rid of.
Maybe you could talk about when to store something and when to get rid of it.
Watch out for bears!!! LOL
You need the containers if the things you store are actually used rather than stored and never touched for years. So you can make a good argument to buy each item I list, I only offer why you should not. =D
Only souvenirs I collect are Christmas tree ornaments , last one was glass buffalo from yellowstone
Very good. I started a playlist of frugality with this video. I use Isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle for hand sanitation. I do not wear a watch. Dead on about souvenirs - pictures or something you pick up for free at a local restaurant or the like are fine. I do like storage containers (: .
Some say you do not really need hand sanitation most the time. I actually never use it. Just wash my hands mostly.
Yeah, I guess I'm a little hyper in that area.
I am a storage container addict!! That goes for all organization products. I don’t allow myself to go near the container store. It’s like a casino for a gambler! Lol
I'm the same. I think this changed for me when I get rid of enough stuff to see I have extra storage containers after cleaning and selling things off.
I would say that having a good-quality, well-made watch with neutral colors (goes with every outfit) is a good wardrobe staple to have. I think it's good to wear a watch to a job interview, in important meetings, etc. Checking your watch instead of checking your phone guarantees the people around you that you care about their time, and that you're definitely not checking text messages. I have a nice Victorinox watch with 10-year warranty that I bought from Amazon at a heavy discount relative to MSRP.
I see a timepiece as a relic of the past myself but preference can be very different if you like it. I refrain from checking the phone when with company. You might not realize but glancing at your watch is perceptible even if you do it for a split second and even if you do it when others are distracted. I certainly can tell when others glance at their watch. People only do this when they are not fully immersed in the current conversation.
Everyone's going to have their indulgences, the things they know they don't need, but it's the one category they splurge anyway. For me it's dining out, beer, gear (to start a UA-cam channel), and art books. At least the last two categories have a practical purpose though- I'll be using the gear to make content and the art books I can make into content and put in Amazon affiliate links to the product plus these things inspire me.
I do all kinds of other frugal things: I almost NEVER buy new clothes and I cut my own hair.
Agreed. Everyone has their preferences and these are suggestions to not buy. Some stronger than others and sometimes there is a strong reason to buy certain things.
Storage containers for example, there could be a legitimate need for it. The soap, you might need to buy the first bottle. Watch, you might need it because the activity you do does not allow you to carry a phone and yet you need to know the time.
Storage containers....that described me completely. I’m still unorganized no matter how many organizational things I buy 😩😩
Since this video, I have realized that path to organizing is not buying containers but to deal with the objects themselves. Sell or donate all what if or I might need it later items.
The most practical souvenir (besides photos) is clothing, but check prices online instead of buying it in a gift shop. You will invariably find a better deal.
You have a point! But then sometimes, it might be buying it AT the location? I guess sometimes they buy it in bulk from somewhere as well, lol.
@@@BeatTheBush Clothing with the name of a destination can be a good conversation starter, make a friend talking about places you've been. But no need to pay more than you have to for it at the gift shop:)
@beatthebush what do u think about control finance? It's a compounding interest crypto
There seems to be more cryptos than I can count. Sort of like number of banks offering high yield interest.
Here is another thing you shouldn't buy: Expensive Knives. It's good to look for high carbon knives as they keep the edge longer. But most people don't know you can sharpen a dollar store knife to be as sharp as any expensive knife.
And your body needs more and more to get that buzz like any substance. I healed my ex roomie from Korea of being an alcoholic for 20 years, and his health was failing on all levels. He spent 1,000 a month on wine and drinks. After the healing, he has now saved 24,000 in alcohol costs and sold his stash of wines in storage for about 13,000. His healing appointments with me cost him $400 for the alcoholism, so he came out WAY ahead.
Love this! I'm starting a no buying clothes for one year challenge for myself :)
Depending on how much clothes you have already, that might be easy to do. I know I have too much and am just wearing them out and reducing myself. =D
The bat is totally shocked that a giant steak is sitting on his head.. (O___O) ...
I'm definitely gonna watch all the episodes in this segment. ;D I so need this; Yeah so originally I was buying this type of stuff... and then I realize it's just junk so I began to just take pictures of something I want when I'm on a trip or anywhere :D For memories. I have giant plushie collection, but realize they're just collecting dust and nowhere to go, nothing to do with them so I took pictures with all of them,and planning to sell or something :( so sad to part with them but ...NEED DECLUTTER!!
I haven't bought a watch for a while and the one I have now is from my Dad from a highschool grad present and its a iron man😄It's been working great for 4 years now.
Hey Beatthebush, do you use slickdeals.net when purchasing things?
Yes, sometimes. I find it used to make me buy more things that I don't really need. I stopped looking at it all the time a while ago.
I don't process alcohol very well. I'm hung over after one mixed drink. It's just not worth it plus it's expensive especially if you order at a restaurant or bar.
Great list! You're a talented anti-salesman. I can do without kitchen gadgets. A true foodie would want and use them, but not ordinary people like me. A few basics like a good knife and a spatula and stuff, and I'm good to go.
Oh no.. I am guilty of kitchen gadgets. So my defense here is you can have kitchen gadgets if you use them enough. =D Whew.
I am a TRUE foodie and have learned that I wasted money buying a gorgeous garlic press (about 3 years ago) and have not repeated that. I DO use a slow cooker several times a week, even for rice preparation and the usual suspects. I haven't bought new kitchen anything in years, but I don't bake.
First 8 seconds. You just had me laughing. 🙌🏻.
I only buy functional souvenirs for myself. I bought a sweatshirt with a Paris logo while in France. Also, all that junk takes up space in luggage and creates weight that you'll have to haul.
I agree. I cant even say I value souvenirs given to be because I wasn't the person that went there.
I agree except for the watches. Having a nice mechanical dress watch is awesome for interviews or any other semi-formal events. Stylish, can also be a status symbol if you want to show you have money. A quality mechanical watch can also last you a life time so if you want to look at it as cost per wear it is usually quite low unless you get the blinged out tourbillon watch that costs 100,000 or something crazy. Something like a two-tone rolex can be picked up used for only a couple grand and will last FOREVER and is appropriate to wear in formal and casual settings.Edit: Also, @beatthebush, what are you doing wearing a digital watch? Are you 10? It is never acceptable for a grown man to be wearing a digital watch unless it is one of those ones for working out and it is only acceptable when he is working out
Ha ha, yeah there appears to be some disagreement with the watch portion. Everybody has their own ideas and having 5 pretty radical ideas in one video is bound to get a few that will not fit with everyone.
Status symbols is a slipper road as you are 3/4 ways towards trying to keep up with others. So the stylish part doesn't work well for the maximum networth.
I think this perception of 'digital watch' or what is a preconception molded by advertising. You can call me a kid if you want of course, I have no qualms about it.
Because you're not a business/sales/con man... You don't have to dress to impress. That is the difference here. I assume you don't work with clients and clearly your friends are not people you need or wish to impress with your wealth or success.
Trying to impress the interviewer with a status symbol? Think about what you're getting yourself into. A job where you are expected to keep buying expensive stuff just to keep up.
If you must, buy a knockoff rolex and if it breaks after the interviews you got your money's worth.
Automotive rubber gloves, if you have access to free gloves from job or relative and they're not as durable still a good way to go of course not stealing only if they want you to have them.
I have a watch but only for the functionality, I recommend Casio water resistant digital watch, its not flashy and cost me around 12 dollars on amazon. it is easier for me to check the time on my wrist than to pull my phone out of my pocket.
Those casio lasts forever but they are so UGLY! I'm enjoying the no watch tan tho.
at least no one will try to rob me for it haha I can live with the tan line :)
you should do vlog for once. Go to a mall, Restaurant, and show us whats on your mind during the thought process. It can be done with voiceover or live. I think your viewer will appreciate it
I really should and I have a few outside vids already. It's a different type of vid for sure, will keep that in mind. =D
Cool, I want to be persuaded to not buying a DLSR tomorrow that is on firesale... "if you have a camera you can take pictures instead of buying souvenirs"... r.i.p my savings lol.
My anxiety had me put away my watch. I use to screw up my tests. 🤔.
I buy $10 color banded watches at Michael's. I do use watches and don't look at my cell phone all the time.
I need a watch...a large one.. so I can glance over when I am lecturing in class to see the time left.. Not a good idea
to rely on my students to tell me when class is over ; )
Hmmm... when I need to see the time, I just pull my phone out glance at it and put it back. Not as discrete.
Zsuzsi: You need a large holographic clock. :)
I hate souvenirs! I finally broke my husband of buying that junk, My soap costs pennies. I make bacon grease and lye soap. It’s super gentle on the skin. I put some nice soap scent in it. Unfortunately it doesn’t smell like bacon.
Can you do a Chanel bag video why I don't need it in my life? :D
Uhhh... I need one to show people but I don't have one, lol. Seriously, you only need one if you care about what people think.
Borrow one for show and tell. Lol..... torontogirl3 are you thinking of buying that classic one with the metal chain strap :O IKR .. How bout if you can get the funds by selling all your other bags and only have one to justify
Join or create a designer bag exchange.
Can you make a video with tips on how to break my own sentimental attachment to useless items I already own, old papers I no longer need, and perhaps even valuable things which I never actually use or appreciate?
I really should do one like that, nice idea! Will look into this. =D
That is called hoarding (holding on to things for no reason). Search for videos on how to stop hoarding. Good luck!
Can you do a video on subscriptions such as Netflix
“People go puking everywhere” yup that’s drinking!
I was waiting for you to tell the ladies that they actually don't need three hundred pairs of shoes.
Maybe in the next episode :)
Lee Fazzani Bite your tongue. 👠👡👢
Lol... I think there is a larger issue at hand for the shoe thing.
lol, yeah I'm already aware that most women's ever-expanding shoe collection is immune to the forces of reason
I plead guilty on this . :'(
Gotta disagree 100% on watches. They're great.
Unless you do not need them.
The word "great" has a broad meaning. Since the gist of the channel is maximizing savings, the idea isn't whether or not products are great, but whether we can live without buying them (or get them free or for less, if we do need them). I can list a lot of great things that are both useful to me or just novelty items. I'll bet BTB can afford a brand new autopilot Mercedes, which is great, but his priorities lie elsewhere.
Then I guess the one with the unsalesman was the 0th episode :-P
I agree with everything you said in this video except for the watch. I have two wristwatches, one of them is a tough one that I use during sports like cycling of airsoft. I don't even take a phone with me while airsofting, it's just another thing to loose or break or it gives my position away. The other watch is not as tough but it is practical, it is with me all the time (except when I use the other one) so I don't have to think about where to get the date/time, alarms and a chrono if I need one. Phones are also big, hard to take them out from your pocket or whereever, but you can just glimpse at your clock and you are good to go. Which also means less distractions, because your phone may have some notifications etc.
I strongly agree with the last one, about the alcohol, in fact I haven't bought a bottle of anything in like a decade or more. As a guy I usually get some alcohol as gift and that's enough for me. The same goes for carbonated sugarwaters. BeatTheBush, maybe you should include them in ep 2. They are also unhealthy. And plain water is the best drink anyway.
I should put that one in a playlist. =D
You have a point when airsofting. But do they not have a signal to let you know when the session ends? I've been without a watch for eyars.
Yes, they blow a whistle and everything but not only that, sometimes a watch is useful in tactical situations, for ex. if you have to wait 5 minutes then do something (like flank the "enemy"). When your blood is pumping, it's hard to keep track of time.
When I'm playing I don't feel the time passing, only the exhaustion, but that's not a reliable indicator that I should go home, it's good to have a watch.
BTW, you probably don't remember, but I asked you some time ago about the extended warranties. And I took your advice, I didn't get it. I searched a lot, and I found a different gun replica model but a similar style (I mean it is also a submachine gun) but this is from a very reputable company. It's only weakness is the air nozzle (which weakness is common among GBBs) but the part is available and I can replace it myself. I saved almost $90 and I ended up with a better product. I hope...
We are so addicted to buying it's crazy. I went one month without buying anything but grocery and paint bills. It was so hard it felt like I was a drug addict. Buying things makes us feel better
Huh... it actually is a nice change to not buy anything if you already have everything you want, be it not the best but good for the purpose.
I want to chat with you personally... How can I chat with u
great video, I do agree on everything except watch, yet I keep continuing to buy watches cause I feel naked without wearing them. sigh... need to restrain myself more.
Lots of people like watches eh? I guess it's a personal preference.
citizen ecodrive watches are very good, solar powered and mine is radio synchronized.... I like a watch for when cycling on my bicycle rather than checking the phone which can cause accidents (and I do not trust the phone mounts for handlebars). But yes in general I think most watches are not required for people!
There are so many different opinions on watches. I'll let that stand.
Thieves target smartphones way more than watches nowadays lol I get it tho. Great series!
What do thieves want when they take your stuff? Wallet, jewelry, smartphone.
I just replaced my watch battery $18 , its more for an item of fashion , not really to tell the time ,,the good thing about my watch is that you can stop the watch working by pulling out the bezel ,,that way when your not wearing it , it is turned off saving the battery ..
You know me, I'm not very fashionable, lol.
i take advantage when there are beers promotion 1 liter per 1 dollar. lol!!!
You don't need a Kuerig. Talk about a rip off.
Yeah, you don't really. If you get one for free then how? Use it as a hot water dispenser? Lol
They don't even taste that great
I received one as a gift and actually enjoy it! It came with a refillable basket, so I am able to put coffee grounds in the basket to make a cup, and then clean and reuse! I only drink 1 cup in the mornings so it's perfect for me. 😊
Can get one of those black refillable filters for it.
Keurig coffee is so nasty
Do you have a video talking about skills men and women can acquire to increase income?
Oooh, that's so broad. It's more like what YOU like and what interests you. And if you can actually make money with that skill. ua-cam.com/video/SSja8ikcsmU/v-deo.html
I have a bunch of alcohol in my house, but most of the time I don't even drink. I guess I have it so that it'll be there if I want it. I'm kind of a reverse alcoholic. I'll feel like having a certain kind of drink, then I'll buy it, and then after 1-2 drinks I might not touch the bottle for a couple of months.
I guess I buy it because drinks at a restaurant or bar are much more expensive per unit. It feels like more of a deal when you can get a ton of it for a relatively small price... but then you have it for a couple of years at a slow consumption rate.
I agree. You don't even need to drink after you realize how terrible it is for you. After strictly not drinking, I reclaim time back from recovering from drinking.
Nice video! I disagree on two things: a watch and soap. I have two watches and they lasted five years so far. Just replaced the batteries. I use them both in the gym and at work. I use full soap because it prevents sickness and lets me cash out my sick days at the end of the year.
No problem. There will always be some things you absolutely prefer. Did I say you should not use soap? I don't think I said that.
I think i misworded the comment. Yeah everyone is different and has different opinion.
A quality watch is an essential for men's wardrobes.
I challenge that thought by not wearing one. =D
I buy postcards every time I visit a new country. I describe each trip on the back of the card.
Cool! At least it doesn't take up too much space.
Yeah, cheap too...
Do smart home series !
You mean like smart thermostat and smart lights etc?
I'm pretty sure he's talking about not buying the fancy liquid bathroom soaps. You can still get pretty clean hands if you just use bar soap
Oh yes, you can use bar soap too. I like the foam soap since you do not have to have different people rub the same bar.
OR buy a decent soap container and buy a half gallon of good hand soap and then you are in good shape.
And the souvenirs are usually made somewhere else and not from the actual place...why would you buy something plastic that has 0 value
You have a point. Probably because it has the pictures and says the name of the place on it? Lol. If you're gonna buy, buy locally made right? =D
"target of theft" hah if they want my $20 watch i'm not going to cry about it..
How about $5000 watch?
On your dead bed, you will have lots of regrets. 'I should have done that and this'
'You will have...' is a form of wishing others unwell. If you do that too much, your soul will turn black.
I need hilarious stuffed creatures - yep I definitely need those 😁
Lol... I don't think many people goes and buy the same animals I have. Maybe the peas might be most popular.
That pizza keeps making me hungry
do you have tips on discount for seniors .
Nope. I would not know how as I am not a senior.
I can see that. Good luck
Ross- Tuesdays 10% discount; Movie tickets senior price you save a bit; + gym memberships sometimes over 55 is considered senior (depending where you are). But not buying anything you save even more...
I wouldn't be afraid to ask right before I make purchases, like I would always ask the front desk of my local petshop if there are coupons or deals going on for the specific food item I'm buying for my dog. So don't be afraid to ask, "so are there senior discounts here?". I mean unless you're afraid of people knowing your age.... I always ask if there are senior discount on all the museums, temples, and theme parks on trips even abroad.
I'm not a senior either, but I look out for my parents & grannie all the time ;)
