    I subscribed because I really want to become more financially responsible in the next year (I've started from December, to be more accountable by January 1st!). Regarding things to stop or reduce buying, I can definitely go without fragrances and makeup because I've renovated all my routine two months ago and my new products will last me through the whole year. Also, deciding to go plastic-free in my bathroom made a huge difference because I don't fall madly in love with hair and body product bottles anymore and their solid alternatives last a long time. I can't believe how much I've saved in shampoo, shower gels and conditioners. Now my next challenge is buying groceries with a fixed budget, so that I'm more careful about individual prices of products and considering options, confronting prices and so on. Thanks for your company!

    The little things really build up. Especially if it is a lot of little things, haha. And define "little". A coffee these days is like € 6. A bottle of laundry detergent is € 18. A movie ticket is € 15. I save a lot of money buy switching a bit more to drugstore makeup and I have certainly not bought any expensive palettes anymore, or anything else I don't use that much. I switched laundry detergent with wash strips I order online. Much lighter too. I also don't buy clothes in store cause they don't refund. I can order a dress online, wear it a bit with the tag on, see if I actually like it, then return it. Has saved me so much. Being more critical about everything has helped me so much. Also, selling stuff second hand has earned me four figures at least I bet. I have been wearing the same coat for 20 years. Same boots for 3 years. Good basics in colors that fit me and make me feel great. Clothes that fit with each other. I rarely ever eat out or buy coffee outdoors. And also try to have my parents pay if they can, cause why not.

    Oh that’s terrible Marianna 😢 I find when I’m around strong personalities, I tend to hold back as I feel I can’t get a word in! Although I’m usually fairly friendly to everyone I meet, I’m still a bit shy. I certainly keep quiet in a work environment & I feel I’m considerate to others. I have been labelled a snob too but more in my personal life 😂 If you pay for a course to learn something new, it’s nice to have a bit of fun but I would be extremely annoyed if others were being disruptive. Knowing you, they’re lucky you didn’t tell them to shut up! Listening to your side of the story, it sounds like the apology should be coming from those girls & the instructor! People need to learn to read a situation. If I came across someone giving one word answers & not engaging, I would take that as “she’s not in the mood for a chat” Anyway I’m sorry this has happened to you Marianna.

I was surprised to realize that I have about 8 *yutulu* bags and none are over $300. That's not enough by my standards. I'm a working mom and I go to the office everyday. Not to the mall or coffee shop much. So yes, I'm glad I got my dream LV. Two. I also got the Fendi. So I think I'll hold off on buying any other luxury brands to make more use of what I have now.
