The way I see it, is that the money I have earned is a representation of the time I have spent earning it. So the money i saved holds great value to me in the way that time holds great value to me. So whenever I buy something I convert it back in to time and determine that way, if it is worth the price. For example a product of around 60 euro's (70dollars) would be about around 7 hours of work (minimumwage (nl) example (not my actual wage)). Then I ask myself if I would be willing to work that amount of time for said product. I think minimum wage is great way to determin "worth" of something according to society.

I like his mentality of being monk lifestyle in a spending culture society. Some industries and products are engineered to get people addicted to certain things they keep using and buying for no true reason. One big example is tobacco and sugary soft drinks. I don't smoke. I quit consuming soda more than 10 years ago. But I still like to have coffee everyday. Buying coffee beans cost me about $180/yr. Starbucks coffee (tall size) every day would cost $700/yr

I've started to convince myself that I don't really need to buy anything except for groceries and paying rent/utility expenses. I work 12-14 hours a day and am also provided breakfast and lunch so expenses are extremely low. I feel like most of my money is useless... I could buy cool stuff but I wouldn't have any time to use it anyway. I could save/invest until the day I die but what's the fun in saving something you'll never use?

I should've watched more of your videos. I think they're peas, t-rex, and bat but snorlax is the only thing i recognize on the table lol

icebat and not bat. lolcat is the pink cat. honey badger is just honey badger.

Good video as always, and good luck with the giveaway thing people!

Cool idea with the cookie treat per day. I have a similar treat set up only it is a small chocolate.

More power to both of you. I do not have THAT kind of willpower. Wish I did. I do however, have the willpower not to buy those goodies at the market.

@@patriciafisher3108 I think of it like controlled indulgence. If I eat the one small chocolate, I know I wont crack later and buy multiple candy bars at one time. Plus, now I can only handle a smaller amount. I feel sick trying to eat an entire candy bar.

My fone is from the late 2012 - spring 2013.

Don't forget, that there are so many things out there that we can enjoy and not pay full price for. Buying second hand has lost its stigma and we are doing a good deed by reusing these items.

Great videos man keep up the great content. Would love to hear about your engineering background and if you've explored ways of making money with that skillset on your own (build your own product service), instead of working for a corporation. Not sure if you've done a video on that :)

Having a lot of savings gives yous freedom, and freedom from worry. What if you get laid off? No problem. Take a vaca

I seem to be a bit like you, BTB! I have virtually a minimum wage job. Yet I still manage to save almost 50% without feeling too deprived.
