  • When Ellen popped into the SugarMamma HQ, she caused a wave of excitement and serious inspiration for everyone that was listening to her story....including me.
    So it is a huge honour to introduce everyone to Ellen. Ellen saved $10,000 from doing The $1,000 Project....yes $10,000 and she was 17 at the time and a student...what an amazing accomplishment.
    But doing The $1,000 Project didn't just help her save money, it also changed and improved the way that she treated money, looked at her financial future and respected money. She is now aware of the amazing opportunities which are well within her reach for her financial future.
    I was so blown away but this girl, and she is incredibly sweet and humble.So I hope that seeing what this girl achieves, makes you realise what you can do for yourself and your financial future. Remember The $1,000 Project is not just about saving and making money, it is a deep transformation and journey, which I would love you to be a part of with me.

      Ellen Kinmont Well done Ellen..! I am a big fan of Canna and the thousand dollar project. When you get started it becomes like a drug you just want to do more and more. I am totally addicted. You got a good head on your shoulders and now that you are a saver. You will go far. Stay focused stick to your goal. A positive mental attitude is key..! xx

    That's so fantastic! Nice one Ellen! I've been saving like crazy where possible by eating out less (home cooking + meal prepping a lot), never buying soft drinks or coffee or water bottles when I'm out and this inspires me to keep going strong. You really do get on a roll after a while (when saving) and you get a rush the more you save. But now it's time for me to sell some stuff!

    Thanks so much for this video, ladies! It's really easy to think that it's impossible to do something like this if you're a student or a single Mum so this really proves that you can find a way if you are determined and spend the time & effort on finding new sources of income. I love how Ellen adjusted it to $100 project and gave herself a push when money slowed down. So inspiring!

    Love this! Go Ellen! Attitude definitely makes a difference with any kind of money saving project. I'm about to turn 22 and I remember towards the end of high school and start of uni, I was saving for a car, but I was thinking about money in a really negative way. It felt like it was taking me SO long to save up my goal amount (10k)... I was annoyed because everyone around me already had cars! When I finally bought mine I was SO happy that I did it all by myself... with the pressure gone I started thinking about money positively again and was able to save up 15k in the 18 months since. I also chose to start my own business (freelancing PR/marketing/comms) straight of uni, so it's really great to hear the perspective of someone a little younger with a different lifestyle to the typical 9-5er. Would love to see more videos like this :)

      that's great Ellen! I do the exact same although I am finding at this age that I have many expenses (e.g. house, HECS) that I want to save up for or pay off. Cana is there an initial consultation fee for getting some financial advice from you?

    Once I get a car I'll be doing this as well! Only since now I need to buy a car quite seriously. I always beg people for work but right now even adults are trying to find side jobs or jobs in general like babysitting and nannying so it's a bit difficult to find jobs like those like walking dogs when poverty and such is so rampant. Being a millennial, etc. is difficult. I want to save 20k by the age of 21 which will be in 2019!! This is a realistic goal for me so I'm hoping I can :) or at least 10-15k

      I used to earn exactly the same at the beginning of 2018! But I still managed to keep on saving at least £200! I also live in London so rent is very high + the transport cost is a killer!
      Then I changed the job on commission based sales and in December I managed to save up over £2000! I set myself the goal by the end of 2018 to save £10.000 and I’ve achieved this! Now I am determined to save up £20.000 in 2019 and looking for ways to make passive income from some of that £10.000 😊 and I still went on 5 vacations as well. But I’m planning to cut down on that as I want to save more haha

    Is this student in high school, and does not have to pay tuition? I think it's great that she's been able to manifest such a large amount of money(through discipline, motivation, and yes, a lot of hard work!)but unfortunately, in my country, there is not a student alive who is not racking up (or about to rack up when college begins) DEBT--let alone saving! How does Australia handle college tuition, anyway? Here students pay at least $25 K in comprehensive fees/room & board/tuition for public universities, and up around $70 K for private. It's no wonder that these poor students (and their poorer parents--like me!) can't save a dime...If we opt out of college altogether, in order to save the cost of attendance, it is impossible to find work. It's a lose-lose, and my country has forced families to take on $1.5 TRILLION in student loan debt. Yes...higher than the nation's credit card debt. Sad, isn't it?

    Did she get to 1000 project then invest that to get the 10 grand... Or did she literally just save 10,000? I'm confused! Like how is that even possible 😩 I'd literally never be able to do that in a million years! Don't get it!

    • @ellenkinmont2227
      @ellenkinmont2227 7 лет назад +7

      I never thought I could do it either! But I started with no savings and did the $1000 project (but $100 in my case) and gradually increased to the $500 project - I modified Canna's awesome idea to suit my smaller goals but it really does add up!

    • @Jojo_wood
      @Jojo_wood 7 лет назад +1

      Ellen Kinmont so when you got to 500 did you invest it to get to the 10,000? That's what I'm confused about. Or did you just save up lots of 500s which then added up to the 10? Lol sorry I'm not hating or anything just genuinely confused and intrigued! :) I think it's amazing! I just don't know how I could ever do it myself :( x

    • @ellenkinmont2227

    • @ellenkinmont2227
      @ellenkinmont2227 7 лет назад +4

      Jojo Wood I stopped buying food regularly and meal prepped all my lunches for uni which saved a ton of money! I also did Canna's financial fast idea which helped heaps and am pretty minimal with the clothes and makeup that I choose to buy. So a lot of it was choosing not to spend as well as earning extra cash!

    Hi Sugar Mamma, do you manage investments for people? If I give you $10,000, can you invest the money for me in shares? I'm uncertain as to whether this is a service that you provide.
