My coworkers get frustrated because I don’t join any of our team lunches but I cannot bring myself to go out & spend extra money when I buy groceries to not have to go out and buy food... lol
I’m in my 50’s. I wish I was as smart as you when I was your age. I just watched an old video that had the comments turned off. It was how you manage your money on minimum wage. It was so good. You’re doing a great job with your channel AND your life. Don’t ever change.
"you're paying for time, time you're not getting back. not even extra time in your day. time is precious, but it shouldn't come with a price tag." soo many gems in this vid!! 🌿✨
I fixed watches for a decade of my life. The movement inside a Michael Kors watch is as cheap as a walmart brand watch. So people pay $200-$400 just for the MK name to be like everyone else. At least get a smart watch it does a lot more for a similar price tag.
You should do more videos about things that bring you joy and how minimalists find happiness. I feel like it’s a lot of no’s or what not to do. Those vids are cool, but but sprinkle in the joy too.
Couldnt agree more.. i dont hate the video, but the video gimme such boring life vibe 😅 should focus on enjoying life not suffering for not to do this and that.. being minimalist is not the same with has a boring life
I do prefer designer or more luxury brand clothing but not necessarily just for the name. I like certain styles or designs but I do not agree with the price tag. My solution is I purchase items gently used on sites like Poshmark. The prices are more in line with what I feel comfortable paying. So, it’s a great solution for my budget but also what I enjoy. 😉👌🏻
I must live under a rock 😯 I had no idea people went clubbing 3-4 times a week! I don't even club once a year and I grew up living next to Las Vegas 😆😆
I think it really depends on your age. Younger people tends to get more invitations to go out to clubs and usually like she said ends spending a lot of money
I have a 2012 Toyota Camry and I bought it off the lot and it’s a good investment. I’m keeping track of the maintenance and Toyota’s like Honda’s are easy to sell or to fix. My husband wants be to upgrade to a Lexus but no thanks my mileage is 68000 & my car has a lot of life. Btw you are gorgeous I love your accent!
Totally agree about the cable! So glad I never got into the habit of watching TV lol. People always look at me like i’m crazy when I say I don’t watch TV.
My husband and I recently got rid of internet, and something else (I can't remember lol) but we just upgraded our phone plan by $10 and use it for hotspot when we turn on morning shows for our toddler. We saved $90 a month!
Your internet is soooo expensive. I pay £20 month for high speed fiberoptic unlimited broadband. Mobile contact is £25 month for unlimited data. I'm also going wifi free though 😊
@@nataliebutler It's honestly probably so expensive because we live in a rural area currently and it was our only option! For the first year we had it for $45 but then they upped it to $75. Just wasn't worth it since we were literally using it for tv. That's awesome you're going wifi free too!!
Kyra, you’ve inspired me so much. I’ve decluttered my closet and now I don’t buy fast fashion. I’ve also cut back on wasting money on so many things. Thank you for your videos!
Had a BMW that drove like a dream but the maintenance was ridiculously expensive and I was constantly worrying about in getting scratched. I have a Toyota and and really never give it a second thought. Yep it is boring but oh so reliable.
I hear Mercedes Benz cars are very $$$ to maintain. Our cars presently are a Ford sedan and a Mazda 5. One of them is paid for and the Ford we are paying off but owe less than $10,000 on the balance. We buy our cars used. I am hoping to pay off the Ford within a few years and we are pounding on the loan.
I agree with you 100%. I learned how to eat to live instead of living to eat. I stopped digging my own grave with my teeth. Now I don't eat just so my stomach stop hurting, I eat with a purpose, so I can live a healthy life 😊
Hi Kyra! Totally agree with the 10 things on this video, because of you I have become a minamilist and I love it. Started my minimalist journey over 12 months ago. I love all your videos. Hope you are better now?.xx
@Elisa Garcia I started by looking at things I did not like or use anymore or had never used. I got rid of that first. I either sold the item or have it to charity. Then once that was done i decided to work on each room and go through everything. It takes time and fo not rush it. Do not expect to become a minimalist overnight. Hope that helps. Wishing u all the best in your minimalist journey. Remember everyones journey it different.x
@Elisa GarciaThank you for replying. I thought u might be from U.S.A. I hope u start tour minimalist journey soon. It's really a great feeling to become a minimalist. It's one of the best things I have ever done. I love being mindful in what i purchase.
FacciaBella5 my tv comes with free channel I only have internet. Ever since I’ve been on my own and I use my family Netflix, Hulu and I always get free amazon prime I’m on a student trial rn I think 6 months.
Is it bad I work out and eat healthy just to avoid going to the doctors due to how messed up health insurance here in the US? I see people with medical bills from just riding an ambulance or having to stay in the hospital for a few days and it is horrific!!!!
Nandito News luxury doesn’t mean better quality I see on Instagram these insta celebs always complaining or taking back their luxury items to get it fixed. This one girl Chanel bag broke on her an attachment and this other girls V off her Versace bracelet fell off.
Woo, my favorite minimalism RUclips channel so far(I just started my decluttering process like last week, I got way too many things, will work on that gradually) thank you kyra~~
💗 your videos bring me so much inspiration! Thank you for sharing! Glad you are feeling better(per your Instagram post) can’t wait to see your post talking about why you decided to get rid of that desk!
Thank you 💕 I’m feeling so much better now thank you asking. Oh yea I can’t wait to make that video I basically got rid of almost EVERYTHING and I love it 🤭😁
I'm frustrated that you even added that disclaimer... None of "your waste of money" list was controversial... Their all fact a waste of money. The Worse one was the cigarettes. I CAN'T STAND people who smoke! I live in a town where mostly all teens smoke only to look bloody cool and cocky, they look stupid I always have to walk away if someone selfishly decides to smoke next to me, F$#king RUDE! Horrible habit. And my best friend died from cancer which contributes years of smoking. It ain't good for you or to be around someone who smokes.
Seriously, your channel brings me comfort since it feels like listening to myself talking about saving money and being frugal 🤣.. while people out there thinks I'm crazy. Btw, I'm a mom now and it makes me even more frugal than when I'm childless
Girl, Bank of America is getting over on me so bad right now. Once I am free I am NEVER turning back. Ghost fees, associates never say the same thing, and just bad smh.
You are so wise and I couldn’t agree more especially about wasting money on tobacco or cigarettes because I lost my dad to emphysema and it’s unbelievably painful to take care of someone who is dying from poor choices they made ☹️ I also agree especially about fashion I got a little caught up in high end workout gear and it doesn’t make any sense when I can get great quality stuff at Marshall’s and TJ Maxx 💛
wow I agree with everything and you gave me a new perspective about watches! Love the way you approach how you're paying for time but not getting any extra time for such ahah!! Right on :)
I’m thrilled you stepped out and spoke out against these. I say, “word to the wise”. Your Spotify/Hulu mention was new to me. I view on my phone. Checking it out. I’m sorry your mom struggled with her cigarette addiction, and cancer. I praise God she’s alive for your sake, as well as hers.
I 100% agree cable is a waste of money. I think getting nails done are a waste of money. I slightly disagree on the clubbing tip. i love to dance and find it therapeutic to go dancing, whether it be a club, concert or a rave. to me spending money on memories and a good time is ok. BUT I have a feeling you were also throwing in drinks. Drinks to me are a waste of money! it's so expensive, I'm not a huge drinker but I'd rather drink at home then pay 20 dollars for a watered down drink.
@@cristiansince95 she did put a disclaimer, and also asked for additional tips we think are a waste of money to add more input to the community. which is why i added my nails tip. plus, I was in no way trying to be rude, she thinks cover charges and alcohol are a waste of money and I agree. i just myself like to dance which was my addition. again, I hope she didn't take my comment as rude when she asked for our opinions to be discussed. :)
Cable bills: That's true! I used to work for at&t billing and at&t is charging so much. I understand that senior citizens love to watch tv but it's just too much for them to pay that much money especially that most of them are living on fixed income 😣 these cable companies are just too much!
OMG CIGARETTES!!!!!! Yesssssss I totally agree grew up around it all the time and as an adult I have no smoked one in my entire life I vowed to myself I wouldn’t since I grew up around me
I left my bank.! Only with credit union and another thing kinda like a bank but no fees, as u get cashback and that pays my fees when use the debit card 😂i only use this for my wages and child goverment benefits for your children.
Wow, I think you are the first person I’ve heard about other than my grandma who doesn’t have Internet at their home. I currently need the internet at home because I teach online from home, but I’d like to one day go without it. Anyways, I wanted to say, I am impressed. Usually the internet is considered a must-have for people these days, even older people.
I've been trying to convince family to get rid of cable. My plan is to either write down the shows we watch or the names of the show and see how many are on other platforms so we can convert😁
🤔🤔🤔 how did you become so BRILLIANT! At such a young age!!** you are amazing and I agree with EVERYTHING on your list VERY TRUE I’m new to this, learning as I go, baby steps HOWEVER YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️😘
I don’t have cable, I don’t eat at fast food restaurants. If we want something bc to eat out we will get it from a home restaurant. We have restaurants that are in houses and they make all the meals that day and you can go in a pick up a homemade meal if you don’t feel like cooking.
I’m watching all of your videos now that I get to know your channel and I’m flipping the amount of similarities that one can have with ppl that may be close or in another country. My mama also had lung cancer in 2015 because she used to smoke A LOT. She’s alive but living with only the right lung and left with a huge and ugly scar that reminds her everyday that she will not be 100% healthy again.
I agree on all of these! We drive older cars that are not fancy and easy to maintain. We are currently looking at way to pay less for Cable & Internet.
Haven't had cable in years. I have the digital box and antenna tv which costs nothing. Have Netflix and Disney's 7.00 a month deal that they put out at the holidays. Not sure I'll keep it. I also have Amazon fire tv that comes with Amazon Prime.
You are toooo darling !!! I have to say i completely agree with every single thing you said ... you are very intelligent for being so young !!! I love your videos Kyra !!!
I grew up in NY so was into that clubbing once a week. Upgraded my cars every two years. Kept escalating from Honda to Audi sport to bmw, convertible bmw and finally a Mercedes. Then I was like that’s it? Traded the Mercedes in for a Hyundai Tucson sport and have had it for 4 yrs. People thought I was crazy for “downgrading”. I got over it. Moved to PA. No clubbing, no cable, became a minimalist. So refreshing. I’m not going to lie sometimes I get sucked in to the hype but I try really hard not to or to remedy the situation.
I agree with the Watch thing...I used to wear watches years ago, before cell phones, and when my battery died, I never replaced it. I am happy to say, that I survived! We have our cell phones with us constantly, and if I need to know the time, I just look at that.
Aside form been a waste of money, fast fashion is also horrible for the environment and unethical. I recommend watching the documentary “the true cost”. And yes cable is awfully expensive, I use Hulu and Netflix and also go to my local library and get movies there, for free!
I stop buying paper towels. I bought a few reusable rags from Walmart and start using those, just wash when needed. For me and for when I have company. Its been 5 months now and it’s working fine 👌🏽
I would never get rid of my internet... everything runs off our internet, and now with lockdown, I have no idea how people with no internet cope.. i work from home, attend tons of Teams meetings each werk, my son has to homeschool... i thank God every day that I have and can afford internet!
I get you Kyra. I do work hard and climbed a few steps up the ladder. I do prefer to maintain my family instead of impress society. When I buy luxury items because I do, I do it for myself and not to impress friends or society.
can you make videos/posts on things you do that make you productive and how you have been where you're at today. :-) you are such an inspiring influenceer!!
@@bellatheb3autiful835 they're pads that instead of disposing you just wash and use them for your next cycle (made out of fabric) ... if that doesn't convince you there's menstrual cups or menstrual underwear, whatever suits you best.
I kind of agree you value more you time when you dont got tv , you be surprised how good you sleep and it kind of mades more to go outdoors and enjoy nature word
I agree with all of these except for the luxury vehicle one. I bought my car because it's the safest car on the market. Like literally THE SAFEST lol. I upgraded from a 2004 Nissan Sentra which literally crumbled like aluminium foil when I got in an accident. Luckily i wasn't badly injured but the car was considered a total loss. For me, the peace of mind knowing that the car I bought has the best rating on the market is worth the price tag. I'm also a tech geek so the car was right up my alley. The enjoyment I get from my car and the piece of mind that my future kids are as safe as possible is worth it to me.
All cars, not trucks and true SUV's, are unibody vehicles, meaning they have no frame. The frame creates rigidity and absorbs force in an accident. Although there are safe cars, such as Subaru, a car will never provide the protection of a vehicle with a frame. Although trucks and SUV's are obviously more costly in their own right.
For someone who lives in Nigeria a third world country as well as an average income earner most of these stuff are not even readily available to me so I can keep myself in check if I want Kyra you are doing well and you are glowing as ever 💖
I wish 😭 in Ireland it used to be free now they charge... For everytime take money out. Everytime use debit card. Some bills can be 15e a month. Joke. 😂I left my bank of 17 years after these charges came in and one year wasn't even working 😭killer. Money. Down. The. Drain
@@Rollimggiant not in the UK, all cash withdrawals from UK banks ATMs are free if you use a debit card, for example in Poland they may charge you a fee if you decide to use other bank's ATM
I’m not bragging but I have a Rolex and I paid cash for it and don’t have any other watches or plan on getting another I’m keeping it forever so it’s worth it for me. Also, I have a Range Rover but I’m getting rid of it, it has problems and it’s expensive af lol. I have several luxury fashion items and bags and yes they are not worth it. I regret A lot of them.
My coworkers get frustrated because I don’t join any of our team lunches but I cannot bring myself to go out & spend extra money when I buy groceries to not have to go out and buy food... lol
Daniela S same
Daniela S We do team lunches at our kitchen in the office and take turns with cooking...
I do same but every now and then U gotta live a little
It may be beneficial to still go out with them just not spend money. It's more for building camaraderie than just eating
Daniela S meee
Definitely agree with cable being a complete waste of money!

I hear they last longer

I think it really depends on your age. Younger people tends to get more invitations to go out to clubs and usually like she said ends spending a lot of money
I live in Las Vegas and I had no idea people do this either 😂 I’m 24
I go to club only with tons of convincing from friends 3x a year thats the max 🤣🤣🤣
My cousin literally goes out to bars/clubs every weekend. I could never understand why do it every weekend because thats so much money being spent.
I'm 23, born and raised in las Vegas, never been clubbing
Casual dating is a waste of money and time.
Lol
And feelings 😂
Yes, even when I don't read the word 'casual' still yes, imo🙏.
I love your videos. In a sea of over influencing and selling, your videos bring back some much needed common sense and fresh air ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have a 2012 Toyota Camry and I bought it off the lot and it’s a good investment. I’m keeping track of the maintenance and Toyota’s like Honda’s are easy to sell or to fix. My husband wants be to upgrade to a Lexus but no thanks my mileage is 68000 & my car has a lot of life.
Btw you are gorgeous I love your accent!
I wrecked my 2013 Camry last year. I was so sad bc it was totaled. We just bought a new 2019 Prius. I am still trying to get used to driving it.
Totally agree about the cable! So glad I never got into the habit of watching TV lol. People always look at me like i’m crazy when I say I don’t watch TV.
It's so cool u haven't drank in six years I've been sober a month now and save so much money not buying weed and wine lol u are my new inspo
My husband and I recently got rid of internet, and something else (I can't remember lol) but we just upgraded our phone plan by $10 and use it for hotspot when we turn on morning shows for our toddler. We saved $90 a month!
That’s amazing 🙌🏼 great job hun 💕
Your internet is soooo expensive. I pay £20 month for high speed fiberoptic unlimited broadband. Mobile contact is £25 month for unlimited data. I'm also going wifi free though 😊
@@Kyraann. thanks so much, gorgeous! You've really been inspiring us a lot lately 😂
@@nataliebutler It's honestly probably so expensive because we live in a rural area currently and it was our only option! For the first year we had it for $45 but then they upped it to $75. Just wasn't worth it since we were literally using it for tv. That's awesome you're going wifi free too!!
Thank you for sharing. Considering doing the same

Same here! Hello!
I'm 30 and never been to a club. I never will.
I've only gone out a couple of times, but that's it. Didn't really like it. Now a nice concert, dinner etc now and then? That's my thing.
Jen Med sameeee. It’s lame. I don’t get why people like it..
Same!

caroinez what’s wrong with sponsored videos? She gotta make money lol
Nothing wrong with making money on RUclips. You can be real and still make money.
She’s giving us content for free, let sis get sponsorships and pay her bills lol

That last point was unique 😳and so true, 😂we usually treat ourselves to fast food after grocery shopping
I went grocery shopping yesterday and bought fast food afterward. I was hungry and didn't think I could wait until I finished cooking to eat.
can you film a video over sustainable/organic hygiene products (skincare, hair, body wash, etc)

I’m a new fitness RUclipsr and I just have to say that you inspire me so much! Your content is 🔥 thank you! 💕🥰
"Being almost 30"
Whaaaat, you look barely 20!
I know right.
🤔🤔🤔 how did you become so BRILLIANT! At such a young age!!** you are amazing and I agree with EVERYTHING on your list VERY TRUE I’m new to this, learning as I go, baby steps HOWEVER YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️😘
I don’t have cable, I don’t eat at fast food restaurants. If we want something bc to eat out we will get it from a home restaurant. We have restaurants that are in houses and they make all the meals that day and you can go in a pick up a homemade meal if you don’t feel like cooking.
No offense here. Totally agree with everything you said, great ideas, we do have TVs but no cable.
Yessss girl! PREACH!!! Learning so much! Needed this!
I’m watching all of your videos now that I get to know your channel and I’m flipping the amount of similarities that one can have with ppl that may be close or in another country. My mama also had lung cancer in 2015 because she used to smoke A LOT. She’s alive but living with only the right lung and left with a huge and ugly scar that reminds her everyday that she will not be 100% healthy again.
I agree especially with the clubing, when I used to go it was no more than 4 times a year bc fun is good but cost too much money!
Agree with all points. I don't eat out, it saves me a tons of money too.
Good for you not drinking! Another expensive habit! 💜💜👏👏
I agree on all of these! We drive older cars that are not fancy and easy to maintain. We are currently looking at way to pay less for Cable & Internet.
Haven't had cable in years. I have the digital box and antenna tv which costs nothing. Have Netflix and Disney's 7.00 a month deal that they put out at the holidays. Not sure I'll keep it. I also have Amazon fire tv that comes with Amazon Prime.
💅 I personally think getting nails done is a waste of money
You are toooo darling !!! I have to say i completely agree with every single thing you said ... you are very intelligent for being so young !!! I love your videos Kyra !!!
wow 6 years of not drinking ? I’d save so much if I did that lol
m m Try it for one month! 🙏🏻💕
Tina Mar I will !
Start now!!2 months in and i already see a big difference.
I grew up in NY so was into that clubbing once a week. Upgraded my cars every two years. Kept escalating from Honda to Audi sport to bmw, convertible bmw and finally a Mercedes. Then I was like that’s it? Traded the Mercedes in for a Hyundai Tucson sport and have had it for 4 yrs. People thought I was crazy for “downgrading”. I got over it. Moved to PA. No clubbing, no cable, became a minimalist. So refreshing. I’m not going to lie sometimes I get sucked in to the hype but I try really hard not to or to remedy the situation.
When i go out I'm sure to pregrame, go to clubs where I dont have to pay, and make sure I never offer to buy rounds aka dont have a card on me lol
Almost 30?! I would give you almost 20, girl. Amazing
You are amazing! We even don’t have netflix, spotify. I pay only for student prime on amazon for 6 month it’s free after that 4 pound per month :D
I agree with the Watch thing...I used to wear watches years ago, before cell phones, and when my battery died, I never replaced it. I am happy to say, that I survived! We have our cell phones with us constantly, and if I need to know the time, I just look at that.
I get what you are saying about watches, but I love my apple watch for the heart rate, emergency phone when I am exercising, etc.
Aside form been a waste of money, fast fashion is also horrible for the environment and unethical. I recommend watching the documentary “the true cost”. And yes cable is awfully expensive, I use Hulu and Netflix and also go to my local library and get movies there, for free!
Cable is for sure a waste of money especially when there are tons of apps that you can find things on
I agree with everything but the car my last bmw went to almost 200k miles before I upgraded they are more reliable than any car I have ever owned
I stop buying paper towels. I bought a few reusable rags from Walmart and start using those, just wash when needed. For me and for when I have company. Its been 5 months now and it’s working fine 👌🏽
Same...I bought 5 packs of bar towels and use those for everything! I use once then throw in a basket i keep in the kitchen for towels until wash day.
I would never get rid of my internet... everything runs off our internet, and now with lockdown, I have no idea how people with no internet cope.. i work from home, attend tons of Teams meetings each werk, my son has to homeschool... i thank God every day that I have and can afford internet!
I get you Kyra. I do work hard and climbed a few steps up the ladder. I do prefer to maintain my family instead of impress society. When I buy luxury items because I do, I do it for myself and not to impress friends or society.
can you make videos/posts on things you do that make you productive and
how you have been where you're at today. :-) you are such an inspiring influenceer!!
Thank you so much Kyra for the video. Keep inspiring! Love you from Indonesia 😊❤
Wish I could meet you in real life! Love the way you think and how you live. Love from South Africa
💪South Africa
I agree with everything mentioned in the video. Also a big waste of money in my opinion are pads or anything that is not reusable.
Yesss you are 100 percent right when it comes to the pads 🙌🏼
What is a reusable substitute for a pad?
@@bellatheb3autiful835 reusable pads or menstrual cups (they are amazing)
@@bellatheb3autiful835 they're pads that instead of disposing you just wash and use them for your next cycle (made out of fabric) ... if that doesn't convince you there's menstrual cups or menstrual underwear, whatever suits you best.
I stopped watching TV since 2008. I was a 16 year old kid then.
I kind of agree you value more you time when you dont got tv , you be surprised how good you sleep and it kind of mades more to go outdoors and enjoy nature word
Can you get mortgage loans from credit unions? I can’t stand BofA..
Yes, you can and credit union rates are often better than large banks.
Your beautiful!! I'm very proud of you!
True on all levels...Glad mom is better 💜
Thank you 💕 she’s doing great
Lol lol lol agree with the Cadillac too!!! Been there done that. The most $ I ever spent at the mechanics is when I owned a Cadillac.
I agree with all of these except for the luxury vehicle one. I bought my car because it's the safest car on the market. Like literally THE SAFEST lol. I upgraded from a 2004 Nissan Sentra which literally crumbled like aluminium foil when I got in an accident. Luckily i wasn't badly injured but the car was considered a total loss. For me, the peace of mind knowing that the car I bought has the best rating on the market is worth the price tag. I'm also a tech geek so the car was right up my alley. The enjoyment I get from my car and the piece of mind that my future kids are as safe as possible is worth it to me.
Which car is the safest?
All cars, not trucks and true SUV's, are unibody vehicles, meaning they have no frame. The frame creates rigidity and absorbs force in an accident. Although there are safe cars, such as Subaru, a car will never provide the protection of a vehicle with a frame. Although trucks and SUV's are obviously more costly in their own right.
Omg you look 19 I was like 😱😱 your so beautiful
Lmao hiphop loved 🤣
Very helpful! 😍 just living alone for a month now. This really help me 😍
For someone who lives in Nigeria a third world country as well as an average income earner most of these stuff are not even readily available to me so I can keep myself in check if I want Kyra you are doing well and you are glowing as ever 💖
who pays bank fees these days? almost every bank in the UK offers an account for free!!!
Not in Ireland 😭😭😭 all banks now started to charge 😪😪😪😢 used to be free. So I quit the bank. 😂
I wish 😭 in Ireland it used to be free now they charge... For everytime take money out. Everytime use debit card. Some bills can be 15e a month. Joke. 😂I left my bank of 17 years after these charges came in and one year wasn't even working 😭killer. Money. Down. The. Drain
@@Rollimggiant not in the UK, all cash withdrawals from UK banks ATMs are free if you use a debit card, for example in Poland they may charge you a fee if you decide to use other bank's ATM
I’m not bragging but I have a Rolex and I paid cash for it and don’t have any other watches or plan on getting another I’m keeping it forever so it’s worth it for me. Also, I have a Range Rover but I’m getting rid of it, it has problems and it’s expensive af lol. I have several luxury fashion items and bags and yes they are not worth it. I regret A lot of them.
So glad that I found your channel 😍
