9 Things I Stopped Buying to Make More Money

👉🏽 My Intentional Spending Tracker (free) - nischa.me/intentionalspendingtracker

As a British-Indian I was given this advice by my parents, which I followed. Unfortunately I became disabled later in life. I wish I had done more leisure activities when younger, especially travelling. The advice is sound but take time for yourself because you never know what can happen.

"There's a difference between buying something on sale and buying something because it's on sale." Whoa! 👏🏻🙌🏻

The older I get the more I appreciate the saying: "The things you own will end up owning you". Right now I'm clearing, clearing, clearing. Mess is stress. I miss the agility of student days when my life fitted in my car. So, as much as a family man can, I'm removing the unnecessary. Enjoying your videos. Wish I'd been more financially savvy as a young man but I seem to have managed to catch up through property.

I love that your advice is straight to the point - I hate videos that take 5 mins just for an intro and general waffling

1.) Books 2.) Brand new car 3.) Souvenirs from travelling 4.) The updated version 5.) Items on sale 6.) Investing in things I don't understand 7.) Fast Fashion 8.) Anything high maintenance 9.) Pre nup

Im SO GLAD of your channel. It's the first time I've consumed finance content that resonates with me as a woman. There are far too many 'finance bros' who bank on guilt as motivation. You approach things in such a beautiful, simplified and realistic way and I LOVE IT

it's kinda crazy how nobody's talking about the forbidden ebook called Secret Pathway to Triumph

I never regret buying a book. I read it and later sold it for more cash if i wanted to. Good books are always a good investment.

You’re such an inspiration, I’m growing my finance channel and it’s already paying off

Overall great list. One slight change to consider- on bigger trips buy a refrigerator magnet. They are inexpensive, don’t take up much room and are out in the open where you can see them and they will often spark fond memories- anything bigger creates clutter.

I do think self care is important. I lived years of never having indulgences for the sake of saving. I was miserable. So small plunge’s mainly on self care I feel is healthy for my mental and emotional well being.

For the souvenirs, I hate knick-knacks on shelves that just gather up dust, but I also like the idea of a visual token of the places I have been, so my compromise is that I only buy a nice fridge magnet in each new place that I traveled to & liked. I have all my magnets on my red bar fridge, which looks really cool & shows off my travels a bit 😀

the “on sale” thing is a trap i see so many folks fall into and it always makes me shake my head. if i want something, i wait a few weeks to see if it’s still something i want and that i’m needing in my everyday life.

I’m so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever. I’m a single mother living in Melbourne Australia, bought my second house in September and hoping to retire next year at 50 if things keep going smoothly for me.

I agree with you about souvenirs, I limit myself to fridge magnets which I know sounds tacky but think of it, it takes up minimal space and brings back memories of the place you bought it as well as the memories of your holidays, and they don'tcost a great deal ofmoney. Well worth buying

Money is like confidence. It's hard to keep and easy to lose.😂

The core of the message is universal and practical but, as we are all different, I guess these 9 things would also not be 100% the same for all. Giving presents can be valued in many ways. You don't have to buy a usless object, you can offer a theatre play, a spa fith a friend, a travel for your parents. And this also costs. It's about love and being thoughtful and yes, ready to put some cash into it. Sometimes I find hair tretment a nice little therapy of peace and pampering instead of rushing on my own. I also love books, even once read, they make the space noble and could also borrow them to your guests. However, I agree on many other things. Thanks.

I love how the video doesn't just speak about the problems, but provides alternatives. Great stuff 👏🏽

Learning to cook a range of delicious healthy meals is a great way to cut food spending. If you learn to better satisfy yourself in this regard, you can save yourself trips to restaurants or ordering takeaway more than that is necessary. Those can be nice on occasions, but otherwise knowing how to cook your own meals is so versatile, fun and rewarding!
