    Not sure why you would go from a 1000+ handbag to obvious cheap Temu bag. There's plenty of affordable choices that aren't at either extreme.

    14:57 is purchase #8 actually! I think the timestamp was mistyped - thanks for these reminders though Rose :) I don't actually have most of these currently, but it's always good to be aware.
    Quick recap for those who can't watch:
    1) Cheap low quality things
    2) Car payment
    3) Expensive college degrees
    4) A house that you can't afford
    5) Activities that you can't afford to pay for in cash
    6) Overpriced food that you can make at home
    7) Never-ending home improvement
    8) Sale items

    Here is a thought for you - Lets say you spend $6.00 a day on Starbucks or whatever. Well $6.00 x 7 days a week is $42.00 a week. Making coffee at home in my Kurig costs $0.60 a day. So with that savings you could buy 1 share or so of a stock every week consistently and you keep doing that, it will give a start at least.

    You mentioned one without even realizing it, it seems. A HUGE money sink for the middle class is... pets. The middle class will spend exorbitant amounts of wealth on their fur babies. Where people may not be generous with themselves, marketers know that people can be unreasonably generous on their fur babies, not counting the cost.

    Find the best, cheapest college. My daughter was accepted to almost all of her college choices. I also had her apply to the local large state college. With scholarships lower transportation, tuition, etc. she saved 100k. Additionally, the state school was likely easier since people almost always go to the 'best name' college, ergo, she graduated in four years with two degrees and a minor (Biology, Data Science, and a minor in Comp Sci.) with no debt, had her pick of research opportunities, and graduated Valedictorian in both majors. Ask yourself what's better finish in the 60th percentile at (pick your famous college) or be a Valedictorian at a well known, large state school? Sure there the name and there's networking but my daughter was able to write her own ticket after college.

    I run into problem number 8 when I go shop at Dollar Tree. I tend to want to buy whatever gets my attention because everything is so cheap. You end up going home with a cart full of stuff and half of it you don't need. A store like that is useful for essentials but they sell a lot of shiny junk too that catches your attention.

    By consistently investing in stocks, real estate, crypto, and running my own Air BnB short term rental business - I have been able to accumulate hundreds of thousands of dollars in net worth.
    At only 32 years old- this will undoubtedly grow to millions in the future. It's crazy how minimal sacrifice, budgeting and truly understanding what is important, can completely change everything.

    You are spot on regarding a home purchase. Think beyond the down payment and closing costs. Think about the expenses AFTER you buy the home. I bought my first, and only home in 2021. I've already had to pay for roof repair ($8k); Landscaping; Pest control; Interior Painting ($4,500) Garage door and host of other repairs/maintenance. I have no regrets since I planned my $ for this. If you're reading this and planning to buy a home please be prepared.

    • @thriftymeg

      If you buy a newer home you don’t really need a lot of savings. A one year emergency fund should cover any expenses with your home. My house was built in 2017 and the only thing extra was handyman stuff I wanted around the house, the toilet having issues, the ac leaking water from overuse it was a hot summer, dishwasher breaking, the roof and stuff really isn’t a factor. There are quarterly or seasonal charges like the bug Guy and ac/heater tune up. But they are like under $100.

    college education is a complete waste they generally are predatorial and price gouge the population while ALSO giving bad services. so generally if u can download pdfs for free and listen on speechify it saves alot of money i did this to learn law and business.

    There is some flawed logic in the handbag example. While the cost per use appears better with the designer handbag than the cheap one, there are mid range options in between. This is important because there is also a cost in the premium brand vs common brand. As an extreme example, do you really need a handbag that lasts 100 years? Or is 3 years good enough? Personally I’d suggest a mid range priced one. It might not last as long as the premium brand and better than the low quality brand BUT you’ll increase your cash flow to spend in other areas like investments or debt repayment. If you want to really save a lot of money, stop accumulating stuff and shop like a minimalist.
