Very true, but with things like investing, the earlier you start the better. I wish there was someone telling me about maximizing a Roth IRA when I was 18. My retirement would be in a much better place right now.
@@muckymucks totally agree. But I feel like it's not entirely our fault since women have it harder in that field. No one talked to me about personal finance in my 20s, people just copied their parents and mine were knee deep in mortgage and debt. Still, my brother managed to get in touch with this topic and he is also the one who taught me now how to invest etc. I'm 37 and ofc I wish I knew earlier. But regret will not make it better 😊
I think one of the best things I learned in my 20s food wise was buying frozen fruits and veggies as much as I can. I’m someone who might say I want to make a stir fry on thursday, but when the day comes I might really be crazing spaghetti. So by buying things like pasta or frozen veggies that don’t go bad super quick but are still healthy. I’ve saved money.
Ali M the only time I ever really buy something fresh is if there is no frozen option or I absolutely know im going to make it that day or the next day.
Yes! I also keep stuff I can pull from the freezer and throw in the crock pot. If I have dinner when I get home from work, I'm so much less likely to go out to eat.
An even cheaper option is to buy veggies or fruits when it’s in season, when they’re cheap/on sale and freeze them in ziplocs!:) plus, the veggies will be even more tasty and good for you since they’re gonna be in season/local!
@Simply Thandi Simple, this marvelous invention called the microwave.:P But seriously, some people really do that, or they have a significant other that does most of the cooking. Its really not hard to avoid cooking yourself. Best advice there, or for anybody for that matter is invest in a crock pot and rice cooker. You can cook a lot without having to spend much time in the kitchen.
Growing up, my family primarily went to restaurants and fast food places for our dinners, so most of my cooking knowledge I gained when I moved out at 25. I was shocked when I learned that the 8oz steak I could get at a chain restaurant for $18 costs about $8 for double the meat if you cook it yourself. You also can control what's going into the food and have more leftovers.
The points Tasha makes at 4, 5, 6, and 7. Completely agree, I just started my 'Lifestyle System' last year, investing wisely and setting up my 401K. Became vegan (mid-March), invested my free time to worthy causes, and downsized my shopping consumption. Now I'm going to continue to transform myself into the best version of me. Everyone out there, ask yourselves 'Where do I want to see myself in 5, 10, 20 years?' Yes, your view and goals will change... let it change with you in mind.
Marie Lastname People join the military for all sorts of different reasons - often out of desperation. I don’t know her story, but we should critique the system, not the individuals trying to survive within it.
@@timesnotpoison There's also free college. A hundred-thousand dollars of college debt or...go into the military (and hopefully you're not shipped off to war) and have the government pay for it instead so you don't start your adult life with crippling debt. Quite the dangling carrot our country has created and maybe it's part of why a free secondary education is so vehemenantly shot down all the time despite it being available in so many other countries.
I gotta add to point #5 real quick because of something that annoyed me from my ex-fiance: he believed that "oh the brain stops growing at 25 so I can't learn anything new." THIS IS NOT TRUE. Our brains are growing and developing what it needs UNTIL age 25. Once you turn 25, now the brain starts doing things more efficiently because all of the parts are in place. It's never too late to change. But the sooner you set your good habits, the better they will stick because the gears will keep going.
This is actually not entirely true, it turns out we do create new brain cells in adulthood in two different regions of the brain that are vital for so many different processes :) it's all amazing cutting-edge research of the last 5-10 years!
@@cherrytung Really, right? Sounds like he was making excuses and that's not an uphill battle you want to fight with someone once married to them. She dodged a bullet, lol.
I LOVE budgeting! My ADHD had me out of control, I could not organise my life or money which led to overdue bills, mail anxiety, the whole shebam... then I met my husband who is super calm and organised with finance and math related issues. He taught me budgeting in a matter of months. I haven't looked back since. It relieves SO MUCH anxiety. Yes sometimes I'm salty about only having a small amount of money when I want to splurge. But I know that if I stick to that budget, my future is safe. I love that.
I agree. Most people of my generation have never used needles. I don’t exclude myself. We know nothing about stitches, fabrics, clothes quality and all that stuff. I’m just starting to learn that (21)
Try living alone if you're an introvert and/or an independent person; for me it was life changing. I don't think I can ever go back, I was even spending half my salary on rent at some point. I'm not accountable to anyone, so I can do anything I want, when I feel like it. Now that's what I call freedom. Edit: I'm 32, no one wants roommates at that age, anyways.
Thanks Tasha for this video, I really needed this (especially point 7). I’m 25 now and lots of changes are going on. Your points are truly something essential for me to keep in mind ♥️
Hey Tasha- love the advice (especially regarding the importance of cooking). It would be great to see some type of ‘cookbook’ or video dedicated to talking about your favorite meals to prepare ahead of time.
I'm watching this video with my boyfriend, he legitly "pivoted" me like Ross when we were watching that part of this video, then I saw this comment and died laughing 🤣🤣🤣
My two sisters and myself, we learned to cook and bake at our 12 years. Today my three nieces are almost at that age, as grandma taught us, I'm going to teach the girls how to cook too.
I turned 30 this year and I'd say I'm pretty good with all of these (well, they can always be improved upon, lol!) except maybe the investing part. To invest, especially with something like the stock market, I've always heard that you shouldn't invest more than you're willing to lose. Well, I'm currently not willing to lose any money so I've not gotten to that part yet, haha! But maybe one day I will be. I'm already doing better financially right now so I'm sure I'll soon be at a point where I can take a few small risks. Or just set the money in a savings account with interest and not need to touch it. I'm not at that point right now either but again, I feel that time is close :)
lhallnance honestly if you’re learning, you’re growing! You don’t need to have it all, but as long as your working toward the building blocks...you’ll be okay 😊
If I get my dream job I never want to retire! (But I want to have money available if I change my mind or to pass down to family when I die if I don't need it)
Dasar G yes! I love these but it definitely doesn’t apply to my family, my Sisters and Myself did/do not have “room and board” free and we are all in are 20’s . These tips ,tricks and statements seem to apply more too 20’s I would be homeless if I didn’t apply them to every day life now .
Just found "The Lifestyle Fix". Love them! Will you not be doing them anymore or are you moving them to your channel? They are very helpful (binge watching). If not please consider doing so.
And please please learn how to take care of yourself, eat healthy food, get your health in check, treasure your own body!! stay away from addictions,.. etc. , you wouldn' want your future budget mostly go into hospital bills, your salary is cut off due to your sick leaves, or your parents still have to babysit you in your 30s...
Do you mean anything that provides tips? I've never been a server, but my income is inconsistent, without getting into detail on my personal life, I work mostly on-call doing security, and get paid bi-weekly. What helps me save is having an idea of the minimal hours I'll work within the entire month (under-estimate my income), and I over estimate the amount of taxes taken from that. Say, instead of being taxed 15-20%, i divide as if i were getting 25% taken off my checks, and budget for whatever is left over as my income of the month. I do this every month since I'm on-call. I'm a single parent and pay for childcare if i have to work evenings and weekends, so it's crucial for me to do this. In point, I think what might work for you is underestimating your tips for the month, and whatever isn't accounted for should go to any important savings you plan to grow. I hope this helps.

And if you're in your 30s you can still do a handful this stuff too! never too late to start. :)
I needed that ♡

In your 20's learn to cook really well so you won't be tempted to go out and eat alot.
I don't understand how anyone can make it to 26+ without knowing how to cook.
or just get a job that feeds you :))

@@audreys8739 you both are on a great track
Cook from scratch with what you have available instead of buying new items for every new recipe!
Addendum: buy staples and ingredients which can be used in several recipes!!
This is my favorite video in the lifestyles fix series so far, I'm 28 and still working on all of these, especially # 7!
Totally irrelevant to the content of the video, but I love the color of Tasha’s lipstick!

It so is!--Tasha
YES THIS VIDEO IS FOR ME. Going on 28!
How to be kind should be #1! Such a great lesson for everyone to learn!
When you said pivot your life I just thought of the Ross and FRIENDS. 😆🙈 Great tips though to learn and I’m still learning them even at 30! ☺️
PIVOOOOT!

An additional episode on number six and how to pivot would be super helpful!
Her last video on here about things to do before making a big decision would be one I'd suggest as it covers pivoting for changes in your life :)
Really good advices!
Half of them I already do, the other half I'm working on :D
Tasha, why is this the very last episode of The Lifestyle Fix?
Great VID!!
The last two points definitely resonated with me 😣
I'm 29, thank you.
The lifestyle fix is going to end? Noooo 😭😭😭

Wait what whyyyy! Why would it be the last episode?!
Prepping 15 years in advance 😎
I’m too late but I’m here anyway.
♥️💓💞💕 such great advice 😍
thank you so much
Great advice. But something feels off in this video from Tasha's normal poise and polish. I hope things are going okay. :)
first! literally can't believe it!!
And please please learn how to take care of yourself, eat healthy food, get your health in check, treasure your own body!! stay away from addictions,.. etc. , you wouldn' want your future budget mostly go into hospital bills, your salary is cut off due to your sick leaves, or your parents still have to babysit you in your 30s...
Every time i budget biweekly i hear your voice saying, "Budget for a year". 😅
I haven’t learned how to make a big change yet... I’m so scared 😭😭😭

Advice to how to budget for servers?
Do you mean anything that provides tips? I've never been a server, but my income is inconsistent, without getting into detail on my personal life, I work mostly on-call doing security, and get paid bi-weekly. What helps me save is having an idea of the minimal hours I'll work within the entire month (under-estimate my income), and I over estimate the amount of taxes taken from that. Say, instead of being taxed 15-20%, i divide as if i were getting 25% taken off my checks, and budget for whatever is left over as my income of the month. I do this every month since I'm on-call. I'm a single parent and pay for childcare if i have to work evenings and weekends, so it's crucial for me to do this.
In point, I think what might work for you is underestimating your tips for the month, and whatever isn't accounted for should go to any important savings you plan to grow.
I hope this helps.
