  • 😅Being cheap or stingy is poor sportsmanship when trying to crush your financial goals and/or pay off your debt! Here are 30 ways to be more frugal! When we were trying to become debt-free, we did MOST of these tips and were able to pay off $311,000 of student loans in 32 months. (We did not do all of these tips when paying off our loans because at the time, we rarely went out to restaurants, didn’t get a lot of clothes, and didn’t have any subscriptions. I also don’t drink caffeine). Now we are debt-free and still spend our money frugally but buy things we really enjoy. I hope you like this video! ❤️
    Love,
    Erica ☺️

    I use a variant of the 30-day list. If I want something that isn't an absolute survival purchase, it goes on my 30-day list. If it is above $50 it goes into my 60-day list and above $100 goes into the 90-day list. You'd be surprised at how many things gets dropped off the list. In addition it gives you time to figure a way to do it so you don't need the item or find something cheaper or free to take care of it. When shopping I only buy what's on my list. If I see something else I like, it gets added to the next trip's list ( most of these get dropped by the time I make the new list as well).

    Lol…. It’s true we save money when I send my husband to the grocery store. He just buys things on the list! And is not tempted by the extras on “sale” that I can’t resist!

    Hello
    I'm frugal with my money. I only buy seeds to grow vegetables in my Garden. We save at least 20% of our grocery bill, gardening. We are healthier, gardening. Keep up the great videos❤

    Greetings, Erica! I pray all is well with you and your husband. I appreciate and enjoy the videos I've seen so far. Sorry if my question has already been answered. Unlike you, I don't read all of them 😉.
    I would like to start an edible garden, but don't know where to start and how to maintain. I've followed some other UA-camr on gardening, but it's overwhelming for me. Most of the sun that we get is in the afternoon. Any tip is greatly appreciated! God bless! ❤

    • @buildyourmoxie
      @buildyourmoxie  7 місяців тому +3

      Hi hi! 🤗 aww thank you for your kind words!! Location is pretty important. Indoor or outdoor makes a difference. And time of year.
      I would look into “grow lights” for plants. AM option is to set it up around the plants during the time they don’t get sun! A lot of the edible plants needs a lot of sunlight.
      🤗❤️

    As a knitter, I would say it is less to do with thrift and more to do with having a calming pastime that I enjoy, knowing full well that the cost of materials and my time do not make this a cost saving choice :). Loving the videos - got pulled in the the travel videos and just kept going!

    • @buildyourmoxie
      @buildyourmoxie  10 місяців тому

      If it's calming and relaxing, it's worth it! =D I feel the same way about my plant projects hehe. 😍 and thank you so much for watching!! =D

    Great content Erica! I like your comment about not caring about what people think of your car. This mindset has saved my family a ton of money while paying down our mortgage.

    • @buildyourmoxie
      @buildyourmoxie  Рік тому +1

      Hi Paul!! Nice to see you again! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m glad you liked that comment! A lot of people get wrapped up with what others think of them. But if we really think about it… ppl only think about it for a split second then move on! I try to have this mindset when I have a pimple. People will look and see “is that a pimple?” And then they think “yep it is”. And move on 😂
      Is that a used car? Yep it is. Move on 🔥
      Cheers Paul! Have a great rest of your week!!
