I have deleted my Instagram and my TikTok accounts, because the amount of consumerism that is pushed on those social media is insane. Also, at 27 I finally realized that the interactions we have on those apps are mostly meaningless, whereas in our daily life we are lonelier than ever, and lack true connections...
Taking 30 days off from posting on twitter. Quite helpful.
Nobody cares. You’ll get more likes if you post that you wrecked your car today, that if you post that you got a advancement at work. 😂 Social media is about knowing who wants to be your next husband or wife!
Me too ! Never did TicTok,FB has been deleted.
@windyshores Yup! I Only do You Tube now.
Shaq and all alike I assume have lots of room. But, you American citizen must let a illegal move in with you. Shaq needs those other 15 rooms left empty. Maybe for his sneakers or something.
When it comes to fashion, my Grandmother always told us that we don't need anything written on our clothes to know who we are. I will not wear anything promoting a logo of any kind.
I never have either. Told my niece that I never wear a logo unless I'm getting paid😅
Where I used to live I had a blood orange and tangering tree. I put an add in Marketplace for free blood oranges. A woman from Germany loved them. No fresh oranges in Germany . We had an arrangement where I would put a couple bags og oranges by my door, she would pick them up and leave me a burrito from a local Mexican restaurant. I only met her once. We did that for 5 years.
That’s awesome!
you spend your youth buying junk then you spend your old age trying to get rid of the junk. crazy stuff.
Now that’s a funny and true statement 😂
No matter the size of your house or car, our graves are all the same size 😊
@@user-tk1xd9js1z 😱😳😥 That's terrible. What about resting in peace? Omg.
@user-tk1xd9js1z There ate some companies in the US that compost.
Very well put!!
The Taj Mahal and the pyramids disagree with you
I found my dog on the street as well. The Vet said they likely dumped her off because she couldn’t have puppies anymore.
She is my queen and our personalities were made for each other. When people ask how much i paid i tell them “she was free .99!”
Money can buy breeds but they can’t buy a dog who’s got personality
Debt free is freedom
People in our neighborhood put out their abundance of fruit in a box on sidewalk that says free. We get so much from our neighborhood, it’s magical.
How awesome
I don’t tell people how much money I have they want to borrow it, or steal it or sue you. It’s better to not tell people your business.
The two biggest consumers I know justify all their spending because they're shopping at Goodwill. Twice the junk for half the cost is still buying things you don't need.
I am tired of debt and won't be sucked in any more. I have worked 12 hr shifts 7 days per week since July to get out of debt. I have paid thousands of dollars off and will be debt free in May. I am tired of being in bondage. Praise the Lord for his strength!!!!
I bet you learned your lesson. You did it the same way I did…the hard way!
@PrepperPrincess Yes, I sure did learn my lesson. I will look back at every extra hour I had to work to pay that pile of debt off and vow to never do that to myself again. We learn a greater life lesson when we have to do things the hard way.
Not to mention institutionalizing babies in daycare so you can pay for your 50k car AND the daycare on top of that.
😢😢😢
I just put my house for sale. My neighbor told his brother about our house because his brother wants to move next to him and he is downsizing . He is a single guy living in a huge house twice our size with a mother in law suite. He came to see our house with a realtor and he complained that our home is too small for him. A 3 bedroom 2 bath 1,800 square ft home where 2 adults, two children and a dog live is too small for a single guy??? People are crazy.
I am under the suspicion that they just wanted to come home to snoop around. Effing weirdos.
Waking up in the morning with no debt is an incredible feeling.
I spent most of my life in debt.
Pay off that house as soon as you can. PP gets it. So will you.
I cant get over all the nail salons everywhere. What a waste of money. Acrylic nails are so unhygienic. Do the women getting their nails done realize it doesnt make them any more beautiful!?
I find them so dang gross and ugly!
@@user-tk1xd9js1z fair enough.
I have a worthless degree, 5 years of teaching and sociology. The 90s version of gender studies. Worthless. I'm 55, still paying for my student loans. And I hardly borrowed anything. Very little. Worked full time and went to school full time. SCAM
I have heard people stating " I have to have a dishwasher" can't survive without one. I had 1 removed it. Why? Must rinse dishes or clog drains. Very seldom look clean. Then you have to load and unload. Faster and easier for me to wash and air dry. Less energy, less water, less electricity, irregardless of ads. Saves me time and my dishes are clean. We all have different priorities of life.
Completely agree - so much quicker to hand wash.
It depends on your circumstances. My dad is bedridden after stroke and needs special food prepared just for him and of course multiple plates and pots and glasses. Mom always invites hords of visitors for weekends and of course they eat and drink. Wtihout the dishwasher I would spend entire days an probably nights washing dishes. We load and unload 4-5 loads per day. But it needs to be top quality and of course it needs regular maintenance. We clean, unclog regularly and buy special liquid to clean at an empty cycle.
Dishwashers do clean and sterilize dishes which is a plus but if you don’t have a lot of dishes hand washing works too.
Did the same. Have no regrets.
I always hand wash and dry on a bamboo rack. Quick, quiet, limits too many dishes. Put pots away.
I have a food pantry and know first hand about the $90,000 trucks and suv that people claiming to be “low income” drive to pick up free food. No, they didn’t borrow it. No, they didn’t just lose a job. These same people drive their high dollar cars every month and report zero income just to get free food. I see them in all the free food lines in town. That IS their job-to go to every free food event in the county. They turn around and sell it. That’s the scam and no one will let us verify income. If we try, and believe me we have, we are told we are not allowed to verify. All Food pantries have to accept verbal statements less we “offend “ anyone. It’s a total crock and takes from those who really need it.
Or they use it so they don't have to buy it. But trust and believe many of those who are flexing are broke and one minor emergency away from disaster.
I was in a store with my son to get him some running shoes. There were cutoff sweatpants in the store, with a famous brand on them, for $47. We laughed and laughed. We buy whole sweatpants for $5 a pair, and cut them off when they get holes. I made an entire quilt out of cut off sweatpants legs, which he took to college.
😂🥳🥳🥳👍❤
I am living in the Netherlands so being frugal is a way of life. Having debt or a credit card is very unusual in my age group (in my 60's now). Neither is fastfood and not cooking from scratch.
On the other hand: most mothers here dont work fulltime when having kids.
Actually most people here work 4 days a week (men and women) In the Netherlands that is considered full time. Friday is usually the designated day to go shopping, do the garden, take your dogs on an extra long walk, ironing away a stash. We do exchange info about bargains with the neighbours, friends,in the supermarket and with family (no coupons exist here)The weekend is for family and relaxation, hobbies, being outdoors. We are avid sellers and buyers of used stuff. We dont give expensive presents, we give eachother an "experience".
I learned so much from my time as an expat in Holland. It was an absolute 180 from the lifestyle of Americans. Y’all are full of practical wisdom. Proost!
@@SpiritualMother I am glad you liked it!! I worked with a couple of east coast docs. They were shocked that kids in school go outside to play at least 2 x 30 minutes a day, and go home for lunch. Sometimes the kids get lessons in a forest or collect early in the morning the things and animals washed on the seashore. Also from the age of appr 5 they get swimming lessons very early in the morning (am not a morning person, but sometimes you have to sacrifice a habit) That was unusual in the USA they said. On a "negative" note ... they werent too charmed by the dutch habit of saying what you think. Lol!!!
@@nellisart462 The Dutch habit of ‘saying what you think’ is hilarious. I was once walking with my 25 year old daughter hand in hand at a train station. A man who was curious about us caught up and said “I thought you were school girls. But now I see you (points to me) are MUCH older.” My little and I laughed hard having grown accustomed to the blurting. We found the Dutch to be simple people… like Hobbits. But wise Hobbits that speak multiple languages and invented the word frugal. 💐
Live small as a snail 🐌 with inner peace tall as a whale 🐋
I have to say it: people who won't get married because they "need" a $30,000+ wedding they can't afford. We've lost the plot
Almost a year ago I decided to change my eating habits and clean up my life. I started intermittent fasting, through the whole past year as I stopped over consuming food I started realizing that it applied to my life as a whole. What I see now is we are so surrounded by messages to consume it's sickening, consume food, clothes, cars, jewelry, items, expensive stores, dollar stores, consume consume consume. It's maddening.
I’m so happy I found your channel. Since listening to you, I’m now debt free and only have a mortgage. Keep spreading your word. Much love!
I studied art and one of our classes was marketing. Our lessons involved a lot of human psychology and manipulation to sell a product.
No car is worth a monthly payment. Save up, pay cash and buy a 1 owner, accident free, well serviced used car.
I'm in my 60's. In my pre teen years I would hear people say, there's a sucker born every minute. Now I get it.
The most valuable thing a person owns is their word. Give it carefully and if you do, live up to it.
Yup, pretty much my experience. Most people suck. If I meet a nice person, it is like winning the lottery. My life has been filled with backstabbers and deceivers for the most part. Thank God for my pets.
Breakfast is invented by Kelloggs and before that nobody would say that breakfast is an important meal. You didn’t Eat till the animals was fed and taken Care of. That was several hours after they have gotten out of bed
Yes it was a time that was when you had priorities, you took care of those dependent on you and then you did for yourself, LOL. what are today's priorities, LOL. , that is evident for most of us with eyes to see and ears to hear.
If you were lucky, someone was in the kitchen preparing it while you were out doing the morning chores.
you know, that's true. the guys would come in after morning farm chores & the ladies had breakfast ready.
We are past a recession. We are headed toward a depression.
Where do you live? Here in the Norteast things are booming and we can't get enough workers.
Don't bother going to college.. they are begging for plumbers and skilled blue collar workers.
It may seem that way as people are depressed, but they also don’t have the work ethic of past generations. Everyone wants easy money. Flip a house, drive Uber, sell online or do Airbnb with little effort which is great, but comes with pros and cons. The high paying jobs are there for those willing to do the physical and mental work and you don’t need a degree either!
People just take advantage. Even family. I like my pets better than people, too.
I like animals better than people is probably the most common sentiment among people.
We were able to get off foodstamps last year, it's been 7 months. We also stopped going to food banks over 2 years ago, it can be done, you can lift yourself up and out of poverty (that's what I just did for my husband and I) we are now considered lower income and I'm extremely happy for us. We both grew up on welfare so to break the cycle for both of us is awesome.
That's what I call a success story!! Very impressive!! 🙂
You are an inspiration to others. That is true freedom.
I took a "General Business" class in high school, and the only thing the class taught was how to apply for debt, pay bills, and write correspondence letters. In other words, the class didn't "teach" anything about business. It was simply a class teaching people how to consume as much as possible with maximum debt levels.
I am *definitely* an anti-consumer. I'm frugal because I like being frugal. I am also frugal because I *have* to be, as an oldie living on social security. But I LIKE being frugal first. Makes me feel like I'm getting over and I rather like that. Yay for all anti-consumers everywhere! 🙂
I am just sick and tired of how people treat others online. It is awful. I find myself online less and less these days.
Truth! 🎯
Agreed. Also the hyper sexuual content. I'm constantly unfollowing people due to lack of decorum and modesty. Then the meanness in general. The hostility. I just don't want to be a part of any of it
I cleaned out my aunt's condo. She had a lot of my grandmother's loan contracts. They were referred to as INDENTURES. Isn't it interesting how over time the word changed from Indenture to loan? If folks acknowledged they were "indentured" rather than just having a loan would they take out so many loans? I think of all the folks with college loans, they are indentured.
I always say I like animals better than people. They give love and companionship and never give me the grief that people do.
I have always preferred animals over people any day. I just adopted another stray cat that showed up in my garage. She’s beautiful. I’m slowly gaining her trust.
Your life seems so carefree and comfortable. In addition to your common sense advice, I like watching your videos because I feel like I'm sitting in a peaceful home, listening to a good friend with a good head on her shoulders.
When I was a dog groomer back in the early 1980s, there wears three different customers who showed up with new pets after bringing their dogs and cats to us for years to be groomed. When we asked how or where the pets were that we usually groomed were, we were horrified to learn that the family’s had dumped them at a shelter because they remodeled their homes and the pets didn’t match the new colors of the home. What’s wrong with people?
My jaw is on the floor..... Poor fur babies 😢
No way really?
Here is my frugal gardening tip. Don't buy plants or seeds to grow tomatoes , bell peppers, or cucumbers. Save your seeds from your produce and plant those seeds. Tastier and hardier plants. Don't buy bags of top soil for $10, buy $2 steer manure
I allways plant ,my seeds ,pips ect
Cuttings
I have lovely peppers and chillies from pips last year
Just growing again now
Allso got tomato plants growing from seeds and strawberrys
I work for a food bank. Please don’t give up on them. Some of them have limited hours and are entirely run by volunteers.
Best thing to do is look up their website, find out their hours, and drop the stuff off that you want to donate.
From experience, pantry volunteers (often seniors) can simply get overwhelmed with managing donations even though they are very much needed.
I have really low bills. I live very frugally. Getting something special like a new drugstore skin care item makes me so happy. It’s the little things that we appreciate. People who spend money just take everything for granted.
Started gardening as a protest, now I love it. I save money and eat better.
I'm a retired Australian(retired at 52),when I went to school going past year 10(15 or 16 years old) was only for very smart people that were going to go to university. So maybe 40 children I went to school with went on to university.
We own our home and car, have no debt and have money earning interest to support us.
Over 40 years of happy marriage and we had no higher education to pay off, but both had well paid jobs .
In the banking world, they call us deadbeats because we always pay our credit cards off fully every month and on time!
I like animals better than most people.😂
I have 2 kids and three cats that are leukemia positive. We donate to our overran animal shelter. They have crates stacked on top of each other and trying to not be a kill shelter. I love animals. We tried to volunteer at our local shelter for humans and they made it impossible to help so we went to the animal shelter and were immediately put to work. Much better experience!
I am SICK and TIRED of all the pharmaceutical companies shoving their ads up my nose on tv and telling us all to "ask your doctor" about...fill in the blank. Next thing I know, I'm wondering if I should call up my doctor, it just never ends!
Sometimes I need this kind of video to snap me back into reality. No I don’t need a haircut right now, a new outfit or to replace my furniture.
When I was little margarine used to be considered healthy. Now, it's grass fed butter. Butter back then was supposed to cause a heartattack.
As time goes by, science teaches us more, so we can do better with the information we get.
Oh yeah. I don’t blame you. I donate/ help to animals too. People are too ungrateful. It’s frustrating.
That’s why I stopped volunteering at a food pantry after 7 years. Most started to complain and act like they were entitled to the free food😳my attitude changed so I didn’t want to be rude and left.
I don’t get my nails or lashes done anymore, and hair only rarely. It really is a waste of money.
I like animals more than people too 🤛
My dear Princess. I call it. Broke people trying to impress the other broke people
The SUV/truck commercials crack me up. I can't tell you how many people I know who fall for that "rugged outdoorsman" marketing when the only place they drive is to the office. 😂
“We need to think with our brain and not with our heart” 👏
So I left my horrendously stressful job in July and found a great new one in Oct - less money but way better lifestyle - my life has changed. Today, they told us they have to make redundancies… I’m so glad I’m frugal - no debt and I have savings. I had two trips planned and have cancelled both. I’m disheartened but, because of my frugality, I’m certainly not terrified. It could be so much worse… imagine being in debt with huge bills and then thinking you might be unemployed. I have to focus on that. Thanks for all the advice PP.
I have had to change my friends because so many are "major consumers " and can't understand my lifestyle. I live a frugal lifestyle without purchasing processed foods. I truly don't buy clothing. I want to look "poor" keeps me safe. I was at Walmart last week and purchased a shirt on clearance for $5. I am happy with that. I needed medical supplies and. Walmart was cheapest. My home is 1200 square feet. My friend the same age has 4000 square foot house. Has to have help because it is too much house. We are seniors. We all have different priorities mine are food, clothing and shelter. Paying off medical bills. My college degree got me out of poverty and allowed me to have a great life. Education is important that can be made by a trade school or community College. Does not require a 4 year expensive degree. I worked as an RN for 40+ years. Received bonuses of $10,000. I worked with 4 year degree nurses. We all made the SAME salary. Research before getting any training/education.
Preach Sis, I like my husband & Cat, We're HOMEBODIES 💯
"People" just suck 😒
My husband and I live below our means. We are lower income and we do get assistance. We own our dream home (its smaller), have older vehicles, cheaper cell phones, cook every day, have no credit cards, etc. Many would look down on it, but we are happy. I like animals better than people too :)
I hear ya on people making things hard to donate!!! After my mother passed I had a lot of furniture that I just wanted to donate to get it gone rather than sell it. This company that takes furniture and sells it to people in need. They told me they wanted the items and then never came to pick them up and I don’t have a moving van, so I was like forget that!!! And now I am just gonna give them away free on Marketplace
Where have you been?? No one is speaking the truth as you are??!! I am here for you!! Keep going! Please!!
I also like animals more than people. Animals never disappoint!! Two thoughts on the oranges: Place them near the sidewalk in boxes marked FREE..help yourself. Also, when I worked at a school a neighborhood lady brought a bunch of lemons in from her tree. The staff was excited to get them and everyone took some home.
Yes, I just watched a young, British, born into wealth lady, on RUclips. She went to have tea and model clothes at "an event" in some very fancy old English estate. It was all very ornate with gold on the moldings and panels. I thought to myself...."That's pretty and all but, would I want all that even if I was incredibly wealthy?". The answer was no.
UK here! I've been saying the same thing for so many years. All advertising is a lie. "They" have to convince us to keep an spending otherwise everything will come to a grinding halt.
I should have saved more and invested when I was younger but I was stupid. No 401K, real estate or stock market funds. Now I live frugally, put every extra dollar into a high yield savings account earning 5.25% and do the best I can.
You sound so grounded, even more so than before. Which was very grounded. Don't get mad at them, they are not doing it to just you. They do it to everyone..
People think you are rich if you aren't struggling....... and the word Budget 😂 they don't know what it means
I used to work in a bookstore years ago and the sentence striking me the most, from potential customers was: "Oh this book, I have it..that book, I have it too", while I was expecting to hear," I read it/I haven't read it yet"... what's the point of possessing an object if you do not make use of it?
I own my home and car. I line dry my clothes, wash my dishes by hand. My house is furnished with items fro! Family,thrift stores, yard sales, and trash picking( things at peoples curb on trash day). I cook from scratch. I don't eat fast food, I eat out maybe one time a year. I have
Lost weight not eating out. I asked my daughters for their hand !e downs, I can sew, so I take in my own clothes.
but you had kids and had huge expenses then
Thanks for your videos and reminding us of the importance of saving money!
I only help animals now, unfortunately people are not to be trusted….very sad
I love all animals, especially the wild ones. People suck!
Got off grid cabin, it's Snowy out, tweedy birds are in a tree as I stand here 3 feet away - yes Anti Consumer ftw!
I like animals better than people too❤❤
I had always heard the opposite, not the Oscar Wilde quote. “No good deed goes unnoticed,” is the quote I grew up with.
They create artificial need, which isn't need but want. My husband and I are super frugal. Old cars, no cable tv, eat leftovers till theyre gone. Only buy what is on sale. A lot of it is from your advice! Our very small simple house has been paid off for 25 yrs. Furnished mostly from thrift stores.
🥳🥳🥳👍❤
We do NOT need large homes, we need builders to build homes like yours. Unfortunately, it won't happen.
Unfortunately, I agree.
In elementary school, we learned how to save and every Friday, the class would go to the bank and make a deposit into our passbooks. We also studied stocks in 5th grade. We had to choose a stock and follow it. I believe people have to educate themselves and not blame corporations for consumerism. They want to make money. It's our job to decide if what they're selling is what we want or need. That's on us if we don't make educated decisions.
Sure but they are deliberate in their covert ( to most sleepers who fall for it) manipulation but blatantly overt to us because we can see clearly whats going on...
Wow! It sounds like you had an awesome teacher!!
My coworker can't afford to contribute to our company 401k. She goes to the food bank to make ends meet. She always has money for the bar and spent $400 on her hair. Always needy, can't do anything for herself. She's 56 years old.
😳🤦♀️ AND, that's the way she wants it, or she would do something about it. 💯👍🤣
It's called learned helplessness. Oh, poor me syndrome. I have no respect for that.
We all know about supply and demand. If we decide to consume less, prices will drop because of supply. More and more I choose to avoid purchasing products I don't need or want. With regard to our food, most processed food isn't food, but chemicals and ingredients that our bodies can't break down. Keeping up with the Joneses has done real harm to us.
You like animals better than people! Well, my dear, you’re my kind of people.
Oh, right!. You like animals so much better, that you end up eating them multiple times during the day. What a hypocrisy!!!
@@violetagira8687 What makes you think so
Yes, people are so unappreative and lazy!
We are not deceived! I agree with you! My cat and I like the simple life! We just like a roof over our head and a meal and a few other things! Aussie Lady
college of hard knocks are the brightest of all people
OMG! You are singing my song!
I was so poor I couldn't tell when wall Street fell .!!!!
Downsized quite a bit on a house a few years ago and I wear comfortable clothing. I dont care for big houses or fancy clothes,etc. And luckily I don't give a sh## what people who value those things over other people think of me.👍🏻
I bought my first house for $19,000 as a single mom and sold it for a profit a few years later. Now a starter home in my area is $150,000. Young adults aren’t going to be buying homes anymore.
Yes, I can confirm I like animals better than people too!
We got out of debt about 10 years ago. For a while I was paranoid about getting back in debt. But then we built up our emergency account, and when we use it we replace what we used. I find that depression is a thing of the past. Mental peace was a kind of surprise bonus. We never charge. We do use our credit cards but the amount is deducted as if we’d written checks, so no surprises there either. I didn’t start doing this until I was over 60. Thanks Dave Ramsey, Prepper Princess, Money Mom and Austin Williams! I love RUclips!
Yes! I love my dog and animals more than people. People always let you down
Unfortunately, the whole country has become one big scam. American's have big spending problem. Consumer debt is at all-time high. I hear all the complaints about the high cost of living and people can't afford anything. Then I go out, restaurants are packed, drive threw are backed up. In Target, ladies walking around with carts full of junk.
Thanks for saying, "I like animals more than I like people." You are my favorite you tuber. I have learned so much from you! Thank You!
Ive always said that i like animals better than humans as well.
I’ve seen people with Mercedes Benz and cars above of 50000 dollars going to the food bank. Filling up their cars with free groceries😂.
I volunteer at a food back. People in fancy cars may be picking up for those who can't get out. Don't be so quick to judge.
Be careful judging others. You don’t know their circumstances. I was recently put on a medical leave from my job. I drove my $42,000 SUV (which is a perk with my job) to the food pantry because after living expenses were paid with short term disability, I didn’t have any left to buy food. I wiped out savings from a medical issue last year.
Judging someone by their car is NOT cool!!! That Mercedes could have been left to them by a relative’s death. People be Kind and understanding: DON’T JUDGE!
I consistently remind people not to buy something just because its on sale. The elderly are pulled into that a lot.
You and I are alike in so many ways. I survive on next to nothing also and am proud to state that. I am a senior living on SS mostly and through the years I prepared myself to exist on little as I am doing now. I dislike commercial tv and have not viewed anything for close to 30 years and am happy for that. (Cannot stand the commercials! Horrible brainwashing for the viewing public! Buy! Buy! Buy!) Definitely not for me. Thanks to you for all that you provide! You are a shining example of what one can do if one wants to. Keep up the excellent work!
Yes I watch RUclips and Netflix. So pay for internet, phone ,and Netflix… electric, water…no TV or dishwasher. Wear clothes until holes …have fancy for holidays. Invest young …old folks have to stay very low risk to pay property taxes. Save each day and spend only on the essentials. Having money is a stress buster.
