Guys, there will come a time when you realize you have finally enough money to afford that dream car. Don't. Do. It. Get something cheap until that dream car only represents a tiny percentage of your net worth, then you can get it.

One thing the pandemic taught me is that while I LOVE makeup, I don't need to keep buying items just because they are on sale. I only wait to buy an item if I am out of it now. I am being more sustainable AND saving money.

In my 30s, I no longer buy stuff that doesn’t need replacing. Like headphones and clothes. If they aren’t broke I’m not buying

I'm so glad I found you! Fast fashion is something I've definitely given up as I turned into late 20s. It's just not worth it. I've also given up: 1. Super fancy skincare (I invest in the essentials) 2. Regular salon visits (home DIYs are excellent) 3. Looking at malls/cafes as the only way to kill time (and a shitload of money) on a weekend

Yes on #3!!!! My husband and I used to go shopping once a month to kill time (we are from a small town with not much to do). Since covid happened we have been staying home and saving money! Now our favorite thing to do once a month instead is getting something nice to eat at home. It is usually cheaper since we love mom and pop restaurants (more affordable).

10 things I don't buy in my 40's: 1. Designer cologne 2. Gifts on Xmas 3. Souvenirs while traveling (magnet only) 4. new clothes 5. deserts when eating out 6. Clubs 7. Alcohol/drugs- for sure 8. taking tabs for people I barely know 9. Car accessories 10. Unnecessary hotel stays

Another thing no one ever mentions is being fat. clothes are more expensive, harder to find and rarely make you feel or look good which leads to more shopping. Getting down to a healthier weight helps you save a lot of money and really contributes to a happier healthier lifestyle. That’s what I’m working on, I will not allow myself to buy any more clothes until I have to replace what I currently own with smaller sizes. Love this vid, I have watched it more than once.

I think at least some were also about realizing money's worth (eg. the gym membership). And she even says partway into the video that she's not judging other people for their purchases, but I think it's helpful to hear. I suspect that she has more flexibility in her schedule, running her own business, than she did on Wall Street, which probably helps w/ meal prep and packaged foods. But it's interesting to think about anyhow. As a woman with more textured hair that's frizzier than hers, I definitely do not intend to give up my hair straightening treatments, but conversely I never drank so alcohol was never an expense for me. But knowing how expensive many of the things she mentioned can get, I think it is worth at least thinking about the extent to which one can consume in more moderation, just like w/ meat consumption w.r.t. animal welfare and the environment.

Thank you, Rose, for sharing this. I am very excited about reading through all the comments and getting even more ideas. Here is my contribution: I no longer buy household cleaners, but instead use simple, healthier cleaning options, which are versatile and cost pennies. Vinegar is good for all-purpose cleaning and the smell, which my kids used to complain about, dissipates quickly. I cannot abide the smell of bleach or the fact that it is caustic so Peroxide has become a good friend during the pandemic. I refill a spray bottle and often spray frequently touched surfaces such as light switches, toilet handle, door knobs, etc. Remember to let sit before wiping. Toilet bowl cleaner? Baking soda works better and costs pennies. It also works very well for cleaning sinks both stainless and ceramic. Rinse well. It is also fantastic for cleaning fruit and vegetables if you do not buy organic. Wood cleaner? Make your own by mixing vinegar, water, and orange oil or another essential oil. Bathroom cleaners can be made using Tea Tree oil. Laundry detergent? Pure Castille Soap and a cup of vinegar added to the rinse water.(Buy the store-brand gallon size vinegar for best economy) Fabric softener? Take a pass. Most are too strongly scented and I just don’t need the chemicals against my skin. I use my dryer as little as possible anyway. I love for my bed linens to smell of outdoors. Drying racks are effective in the winter. I place mine in front of the heating vent to add a little moisture back into the air. Saves me running a humidifier. Lawn chemicals? Just say NO. My philosophy is that as long as the yard is green, it’s good. We don’t need to compete with our neighbors. All it’s doing is killing off the pollinators, which we desperately need, and running directly into the water table. The more natural we leave our yards, the more they can be shared by wildlife :) We definitely need far less than we’ve been programmed to believe we need. And much of what we have been programmed to believe we need is very bad for us and downright irresponsible to sell.

Same same same. I regret buying all the heels and clothes for clubbing in my 20's. Also agree about souvenirs. So many useless knick knacks collecting dust and creating clutter. Great tip about hiring a photographer instead!

I wonder how much I could have saved these years if I didn’t get them done so regularly. Also, I really agree with the makeup part too. Guess I’m at the right trajectory ☺️☺️

Totally agree. I don’t buy makeup aside from a concealer stick and a lipstick (rarely worn at that!). No souvenirs because I take pics. Alcohol is such a waste of money.

Amen to the alcohol! 🙌 i decided to go completely sober at 26 for health and money reasons. Tbh, I’m extremely introverted so I never “partied” but those alcohol costs still add up when you have a drink at dinner or go out to a girls date at a vineyard. I never really liked the taste either except for a select few kinds. I mostly drank from social pressure. Going completely sober was easier than I expected as everyone didn’t really care. I was afraid of the peer pressure but everyone was really cool with it. I also bring my water bottle with me everywhere including on vineyard dates with the girls ❤️

Im so glad I found your channel. I just turned 31 this month and finally sat down to create a spreadsheet about the debt that had been carried over from my 20s, as well as taking a hard look at my spending habits. I probably spend most of my salary on the things you have listed and more, which doesn't help me to met financial freedom and instead doomed me to mainly pay off debt with little to no savings after each paycheck. Furthermore, since the start of the pandemic, I realized that my current savings were not sufficient to help me with emergency fund. I am taking a really hard look at my income and spending, and will need to work extra hard to build an emergency fund. I appreciate your video which confirms that bad spending habits will only make oneself poorer. I hope to save around $20k-30k for the next two years and eliminate the need for discretionary spending which does not benefit me.

I always love these "Things I Don't Buy Anymore" type videos where it's always like: I used to blow my money, now I don't. I never had that type of money to blow. WTF? I was a uni student...

I really need to make a video about this as well. There are many things that I'm no longer willing to spend money on in my 30s that I though was cool in my 20s. I'd rather buy stocks over most consumer items!

I completely agree and over time I have stopped buying many of these items as well. I definitely don't have the time, money, or energy to buy all the lashes, hair products, nails, etc. I love that you embrace your natural beauty and hope other women find this inspiring. One item I would add to cutting cost/avoiding are all those dang subscription purchases. Seriously, I don't need vitamins, cleaning supplies, makeup, or whatever else people try to push to trap you into buying their products every month buy offering a discount with a subscription. If I buy it once and like it, then I'll buy it again. Stop with the traps!

This was so on point! I just turned 35 and this made me put into perspective that I’ve been spending a lot less money these things.

same with me! what is crazy is before i started saving/investment i was a careless spender... i’m sure i spent thousands on coffee/eating out/low quality clothes. now it’s like i can’t even bring myself to spend money. once you shift your intentions it’s crazy how much you save.

So i smashed the like button before watching knowing that this vid will be so good as always.

Thanks Rose!! i’m in my 30s already and watching this video i realize i gave up most of what you listed already. It’s been great for my lifestyle and for keeping things more simple. But your video helps me see if from a financial view so it makes me even more happy and confident that i gave up buying these things. 😁

As a 29 year old I can relate to how I feel when I eat junk. I like how you admit that you still do indulge in certain purchases, because you're admitting to your audience that nobody's perfect and you're also explaining the concept of moderation, which is something that I really need to improve on. This video makes so much sense and thank you for sharing it. 🙂

I've never spent any money on those things on my 20s and I'm still not doing it now when I'm almost in my 40s. Was never a "party" kind of person. But I did spend my money on traveling and on spending 3 months in Korea learning the language. Great experience btw. I'll need to discover how else I can save more money then haha😅

I recently stopped shopping more clothes. I already have so much, what the heck was I doing? After a month I realized that this habit had cost me hundreds of euros every month that are now just sitting in my account. It’s so freeing.

I can definitely relate to a lot of these. I spend a little more on good quality clothes but I buy less and make sure my wardrobe has items that coordinate well with each other, it's so freeing decluttering all that btw. I also don't buy souvenirs anymore, I invested in a good camera and just take photos on my trips and then compile them in a personalised photo/coffee table book. The more we learn about ourselves the more comfortable and accepting we become with the idea that happiness truly does come from within and we don't require such upkeep to conform to standards that actually don't reflect reality or serve anyone.

amazing video! I am 32 and a hoarder and tryin to change for the better. This yr 2020 is a wake up call for us to save money and invest wisely . New sub here! Thanks for the reminder that we dont need to impress everyone and a minimalist lifestyle is a lot better. 😊

Can you please make a video on your capsule wardrobe? I am really into this concept! I always end up wearing the same classic pieces and I am looking to save and de clutter!

Yes! Was looking for this comment as well! I'll write another so she knows there is interest!

I'm sorry but I can't relate to any if these. When I was in my early 20s I was at first pretty poor. Thus when I was in my mid to late 20s I was pretty cheap/thrifty. A $200 gym or extra makeup or beauty treatments honestly never even crossed my mind. I was too busy trying to keep a decent paying job, support elderly parents, and buy a home.

hahaha are you serious? She wasnt making this video just for you. I dont buy makeup but i thought her tips on things like you shouldnt waste your money keeping up with the jones was pretty spot on. Again she didnt make this video about you, no need to hate .

im 26 and have been living like this for a few years now. nooooo regrets!

These tips are 💯 on point. I treat myself to clothes when I'm on holiday. Not touristy stuff, but clothes and shoes I can wear all the time. If I know I needs some wardrobe staples before a holiday I'll wait and buy it when I'm there. Love the feel good memories when I wear something that reminds me of a holiday.

Omg, thank goodness I found this at 25, I’m getting a head start! 💪

The journal idea for travel is such a great idea ❤️

Awesome tips! I can relate, I already feel myself pulling away from these purchases in my late 20s. Cool to hear someone justify it. New sub!

HI, Rose, Your Tips and Advise is on point. You really hit home, and your presentation is AWESOME! If you had an overhead mic or one on you would really put you over the top. This would make you a world wining KZreadr. Keep up with the excellent work…

you should look into breaking up your videos into categories with the KZread built-in thing. Keep up the awesome work.

Impressive, I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don’t need that new Aston Martin or that vacation in Hawaii just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 100grand in the S&P 500 (with the help of my advisor of course) and made 350k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I’m rounding up close to a million. Hoping to get to 2 In 6 months time

Good tips! I’d like to keep my gym membership (it’s an expensive one) but it’s two blocks away so no driving and I can work there in their lobby if needed (was awesome when I had a power outage or couldn’t concentrate at home), and because it was so close, I went literally every day. They also offered classes that my friends were going to and paying $30 a class (like HITT or Soul Cycle). I had a cheaper membership elsewhere and it took more time to drive, the quality wasn’t that great, etc. You can see a difference with those who spend more - they expect value and quality so it was nice to be around the energy. Also, I loved that there was a hot tub and spa - I would go whenever stressed out!

My list is: 1: fast fashion 2: cheap made household items and furniture 3: stuff on sale but in need 4: cosmo and women magazines 5: cheaply made accessories and jewellery 6: car and phone accessories 7: … can't think of right now…

The way I save money is what I eat on my brake at work. I eat a can of progresso soup which is reduced sodium. That $2.59 a can.

Whoa - first time hearing of Flytographer and I love this idea. When the world opens again to travel, I want to use it! 🛫

On point Rose! This list sounds like what almost every woman living in NYC was doing before the pandemic and definitely what I did in my 20s. Most of this stuff is socially motivated. But when you want to buy a car or a house or just have savings, you tighten up and start packing those lunches real quick lol

I'm pretty much with u on all those items!!! I"m also starting to workout at home. Some additional things I don't buy also are "to go gourmet coffees," I don't get a new car every 3-4 years. I"m going to drive mine to the ground!!, Also, NO more designer/expensive Handbags,, I got rid of most of mine except for 3 staple ones that I love and sold the rest!!! I've become and minimalist in my 40's. It feels good and refreshing to declutter your life.

Good afternoon Rose, thanks for the video it really happens to those who need a non professional's recommendation on being smarter with personal money management than just going crazy thinking of having a job or worst yet that y.o.l.o. keep enjoying your time and getting into better overall shape-up in your journey in life. GOD bless you and take care.

I feel like I'm in my 30's already when listening to this video :D already doing most of this in my 20's

It’s Jeffrey, great advice! I love the journal idea on trips. You need to work through this stuff. Karen and I are together/married for 30 years and have learned lots. Now we are sharing tips on how to live your best life.

I’m 23 and don’t buy 9/10 of these things anymore. I love being minimalistic and mindful of my life and the whole planet💕 I wish everyone in their 30’s (or anywhere up) valued minimalism so I’m proud that you’re smart enough to free yourself from all the chaos society pushes on us😁

It's not about 20's or 30's. Some of us never even bought those things even in our 20's

Great video, Rose! Fast fashion is definitely a big one that I’ve been working on.

I just turned 20 this week and this video is teaching how to live my 20s in a smarter way

You rock! 30 myself and can definitely relate to all of this (minus the makeup ha). Great video, thanks for sharing!

...I am almost 50, my list is now exactly the same as yours😂❤️

That’s a really cool idea that you write about your travels in your journals.

This video is so helpful and reassuring ! I’m in my 20s and I’m already doing most of these. Thanks for the videos. I’m hooked
