    Something that has helped me is actually starting to buy snacks (fruit, celery sticks and peanut butter, charcuterie) from the store because I realized if I didn't, I was way more likely to UberEats or DoorDash, even if I had the ingredients at home to prepare a meal.

      Good suggestion. We buy bulk snacks at Costco, buying items out is very expensive.

    A tip I'd like to throw in is getting a library card. Go check out books instead of buying them. You can save quite a lot of money this way. Also if you're into music, check out CDs from your library too. This can cut out streaming subscriptions.

      I work at a library so I wholeheartedly support this comment! Also, many library systems also have e-content like Overdrive, which is books and audiobooks; hoopla, which has great music and video selections along with books, audiobooks, and graphic novels; Kanopy for more independent and Criterion selections!

      This as well as Kindle Unlimited. The book I’m reading now would’ve been $40 new. Read it as part of my $12 subscription and I read like 5-20 books a month. I also love finding a good cd in the library. I have found my people.

      100% the library card. Our library additionally offers discount and free tickets to local museums & free access to Udemy Business and LinkedIn Learning. And to Kanopy (a movie and documentary streaming service)

      My modern day approach to minimalism is a little bit of both. A while back a RUclipsr named Emmy made in Japan. Had this small comment about how she accommodates her life by doing little things that create a better quality of life change. Similar to what you do here, when you make those small quality of life changes, it's easier to adapt to that gradual change then versus doing it all at once.

    debt often has a higher interest rate than the interest you can accrue on savings. often, you're losing money by not paying the debt first.

    • @Savage.Doomer
      @Savage.Doomer 19 дней назад +1

      most savings accounts give you 0.01%, high yield ones maybe give 5%. Credit card debt is usually 15-30% interest and car loans are 10-20% interest

    For tiny additional savings you could challenge yourself to list 2-3 items on eBay every month. That’s my plan for 2025. A gentle purge of a small amount of surplus possessions and it’s ok if the returns are minimal. I like that something will be used instead of being thrown away and if in return I get even just an extra $20 a month then that’s small but more than $0

    • @r1-le801

    Snacking is a relatively modern habit. If a granola bar is enough to satisfy your appetite then you're not really hungry. I only eat twice a day, but my meals are larger than what would be considered normal, however I don't snack, i don't need to.

    Sometimes there is more on my dinner plate than I can eat. When I remember to do it, I save the leftovers for later a late night snack or part of my breakfast the next day. It keeps me from spending too much money on food. Nicholas, I too cut out eating processed food and sugar beginning in August. However, at Thanksgiving I fell off the wagon. Struggling a bit now to get back on. I do have a motivation to do so, because if I don't I will have to spend money on larger size pants.

    I would replace ''sharing subscriptions'' with getting a good VPN and then put on the eye-patch (if you understand what I mean..🏴‍☠). A VPN costs like 8/monthly too and you will be able to watch everything (anime, disney, netflix, apple, prime etc while also getting PC games). Whether it's frowned upon on, does not matter. Do everything you can to minimal the costs. Life is expensive enough.

    One thing I've changed recently is I make much more simple meals than I used to. Instead of making a complicated recipe that uses 15 ingredients I will eat a simple meal made up of some meat for protein and a vegetable, usually a potato. This makes meals incredibly easy to cook, cheap to make and easy to clean up.

    • @NicholasGarofola

      This makes sense. Some of us fantacize about elaborate dishes and we buy the stuff, but then in real time we don't want to go through all those steps just to eat food.
      Last month I saw a video with recipes that only required three ingredients each. If we've worked all day, it's easier to convince myself to fix something with three ingredients than chili dog mac and cheese that has a whole list of ingredients that require cut up, etc.

    Our old fridge was super inefficient, so because we are on a low income, we were able to apply for a no-interest loan through a community organisation. We bought a new fridge with a 7 star efficiency rating. The money we are spending to pay it off over a year is less than the electric running costs of the old fridge, and once it is paid off, we will be ahead. ❤

    Unsolicited strawberry advice: I found out this year that it’s healthy to eat the green part, and now that I eat the whole strawberry, I can’t believe I ever cut the leaves off. But, If you decide to continue that way, grab a pairing knife and put your index finger on the back side near the tip and scoop out the stem and leaves rather than cutting off the tops. Much less waste of the ripe sweet red stuff!

    I'm retired and discourage my family from buying me electronic items that require batteries and maintenance calls. I use everything up until there's no worth left in it. Or else I give it to a charity or someone who can use it. I had a huge bag of old bedding and towels I was planning to give to an animal shelter. But a lady who takes her family tent camping several days each summer asked if she could have them to use for the kids on these trips. I was glad to find a purpose for them as I had plenty already that I used for cleaning cloths instead of paper towels. It's surprising how many ways you can repurpose items around the house!

    Listen: I am a South African State Pensioner on an income of ZAR 2190 per month plus a very small side hustle (I make milktarts!). I never even THOUGHT of saving. On THAT amount? Anyway, a good friend sat me down one day and suggested that I actually COULD save. 'Are you NUTS!' I thought, but agreed to give it a try. R300 a month was what we agreed on and because I trust her I handed her the envelopes to put in her safe. It's now December and I am up to date on my savings. R3600 for the year and because the milktarts sell VERY WELL during the December holidays I think I can give her another R400 before the end of the year, which will bring it up to R4000. Can be done! Also, my mindset has become such that I will not TOUCH that money until I really, really really need it, by which time I hope it will have grown even more. I am hoping, next year, to do a Level 5 TEFL course... EDIT: I finished the year (3rd January actually!) with R6500. The milktarts sold VERY well...)

    To save on groceries I use the most, I actually did the math on which places I could buy from in bulk to get the cheapest price. Some things are cheaper online, some from a discount grocery store, and others from a bulk grocer where I split the annual membership cost with several friends. Some discount grocery stores also have *literally* the same products but they will be about 1/4 the price because they're not brand name. The difference has been big enough that I am always shocked to hear how much some of my friends spend on groceries bc they are still going to the more expensive grocery stores for essentials that you could literally buy anywhere else for much cheaper. It also means that when I want the more expensive/brand name items that are full price, I can buy them without worrying about the cost since the bulk of my food shopping is super cheap.

    I’ve already been applying the first tip, came here to find more tips so I was surprised about the first one! I have already saved up for the next renewal of my yearly bus subscription and I’m saving up for certain amounts for healthcare and medication. I call these saving up for practical stuff, which I don’t know anyone else does.
    And if there’s something I need, which costs a bit much but don’t necessarily need asap, I’m gonna buy it after saving up for it for 6 months to a year or more depending on the price. Another great thing I do is I think about what I want to buy for about a week, and usually, I won’t want it anymore.
    A nice little bonus is that I always calculate how much money I need to save each month to get something. Say something costs 15 dollars and you want to buy it after 3 months of saving. That’s 15 divided by 3 which is 5. You need to save 5 dollars every month. It’s great to know!
    I also budget in a certain way, in a way that I save a bit more money than what I calculated, and that I always will have a minimum amount of money left each month. But my comment is already too long, maybe I can explain it in a reply.

    Hi Nicholas. With our already "spartan" apartment, if we don't need it, we don't buy it. We also run on the Meal/not Snack program. It saves a bundle on groceries.
    We eat a "set dinner menu" each week, so we only buy what we are going to cook. This is our very first "Minimalist Intentional Christmas" so we are not spending on family, nor are we spending boat loads of money on each other. Just a couple of gifts for each, which has really made a serious difference this year already, and it isn't even Christmas yet.
    We've already pre-purchased our Christmas dinner, so that is already "in the bag" so to speak. Our debt is also paid off. So every penny earned is a penny saved. With a minimalist view towards money, we are saving more than we are spending which took a while to get down. Budget, Budget, Budget !!!

Eating at home has always been an easy one for me. Each morning I pack our coffee, breakfast, snacks and lunch. We eat all our leftovers and do portion control. We eat loads of fish, chicken, veggies and fruit being sure to make enough to feed it to our senior citizen pooch. What is my weakness? The fabric store:(

    Nice video 👍. One tip i have is the husband and I set a budget and try to live within it. There are some months of unforeseen expenses where we dip into savings. However, most months there is a little surplus left-- as in if the budget is say 2000€ a month and there's 50 or 70 quid left over to that amount on the first of the following month, I treat myself to something nice. The husband is not too keen on that method, but i like it. It's like an incentive for me to save:).

    When deciding between paying off debt and saving, I picked the one with the higher interest rate. I’m currently putting away money in a savings account to pay off a debt because the interest rate on that debt is calculated and applied once a year so I’m okay provided I pay it off before that date.

    Question for the chat. Garbage removal in my area is $20 and Recycling is an additonal $10. we never end up filling either bin by the time pickup is scheduled so I wonder: is it worth while to forego Recycling all together to save the extra $10?

    • @Decopainterandtea
      @Decopainterandtea Месяц назад

      Interesting question. The big picture is keeping the recycling can have long term benefits for the earth (if done properly). That will benefit you too. If the 10.00 extra per month isn't any sort of hardship, my suggestion is to keep it. If it's tight, forego it. You can always add it back on at a later time. Whatever gives you that "gut check" peace.

    The answer to the debt part will always be to pay it off first based on the interest. If it's debt that's accruing 0 interest, then it's not worth paying earlier. Otherwise, yes, it has to go ASAP.

    I fully agree with paying debts first. Set up a small emergency fund and stay focused only on paying debt until it's down to zero. For example, if you have a $300 credit card debt and $300 in savings, it's better to pay the credit debt first. By doing that, you'll make up, then exceed that $300 immediately and it will keep rising. Because you're no longer paying interest or spreading your money so thinly across different accounts, you will really notice the difference after just one month.

    Re: Paying off debt: An often touted financially wise decision is balancing saving/paying off (if your debts are below the prime rate, e.g. 4-6% like student loans). By putting these funds into a HYSA or index fund, you could be breaking even or even doing slightly better while building an investment. This is why paying these debts fall later in the personal finance flowcharts. Thanks for offering your perspective though, I think there’s a mental aspect of carrying any amount of debt that can cause stress or influence our behavior. Humans were never meant to be in debt.
