    ☆ Magic ☆ My new fav Free no consumption hobby is picking up trash/litter outside. It is fresh air, great exercise, inspiring and saving the garbage from the inevitable distination, the ocean.

    I was going to scoff at this video, because underconsumption seems to be just as much much of a money generating trend for youtubers as any fashion fad. But then you said "buying stuff is not a shortcut to build the life we want for ourselves" and that touched a nerve. Gives me something to think about for the coming year.

      Wow, this is a really lovely comment - thank you ❤️ Yeah, it's always a bit of a double-edged blade with those UA-cam trends - I completely get what you mean. So happy you found some inspiration to take away from this video 😊 All the best to you for 2025 ✨

    Don't tell anyone, but I have been using the same purse for about 30 years, the same dozen tops for 15 years, and had the same car for 20 years.😊 I have never been in debt.

    Best thing I did: I never had a spending problem, but I finally bought a cheap notebook and kept track of every dime I spent for an entire year. I just wanted to know exactly what I needed to live on. At first it was a nuisance to record every bill, every food purchase, but then it became an easy habit. I learned so much.

    • @livelikeliz
      @livelikeliz  2 години тому

      Absolutely - it really helps to keep track of our spending habits! I really admire you for taking the time to record everything 💕

    Hi Liz thanks for sharing this video. You are absolutely right about the spending behaviour. I am 70 years and don't need a lot of stuff. I have 2 pair of winter shoes and 3 pair of summer shoes of good quality and they last for years. This summer i made some nice dresses out of trift store bed sheets. I love to knit and crochet and that makes the rest of my outfits .My wardrobe is completely self made they last long is unique and I enjoy the work. See you next time. Greetings dear Liz 🌷💟🇾🇪

    Already started. I used to go to the zoo to look at all the wild animals (in captivity of course);
    Now I just go to the stores to just LOOK AT the wild prices, for my amazement and amusement.
    (Disclaimer/ P.S. - Anything I really need, I PAY for it, of course.)

    I'm trying to buy less fabric remnants and use more of what is in my stash. The only things I've been going out and spending the big bucks on are replacements for what the moving van thieves stole from me and my partner on the last weekend of december 2023... so were talking mainly furniture books and kitches essentials. The 40 years of gifts from renfaire folks can not be replaced... but new memories can be made.

      I'm so so sorry to hear that! How did that happen? It's particularly sad if items don't even have much monetary value to the thieves but had a lot of sentimental value for you. Sending lots of love 💕

    Telling US to go no buy after you make a video about it, showing off an entire new bought wardrobe and set of props, in a particular aesthetic, that we all know you definitely didn't own before, is a bit cheeky, isnt it??
