But things can also lead to experiences, like a car or a bike. Or sport equipment. hmmm, are things experience or are things money? if things are money... are things time, since time is money? what if time gives you hapiness can you actually buy hapiness now that time is money?

I have put travel as a priority at this point in my life. I work 30-33 hrs/week, but I get 3-4 weeks vacation a year on top of 2 weeks of at christmas, perfect enough for 1 or 2 big trips a year!! I get a lot of "wows" and confusion from a lot of people older than me, wondering how I do so. I have a humble 1200 sq ft home well within our budget, 5 mins drive to work, cheap fuel efficient car with no payments that I may have to fill up every 2-3 weeks, costco and limited restaurant visits. Invest your money in YOUR passion.

Starbucks, Netflix, Ubers...it all adds up. I took a lot from this video, thanks Nadine. I'm back with my rents, saving for a big Australia trip next year. Wish me luck!

Anyone can afford to travel. The more luxurious you plan to travel then the more expensive it'll be. Same goes for how fast you plan on traveling (walking, bus, driving, flying). I reccomend living like a local and asking the local for recommendations. You get a whole lot more out of your travels in my opinion.

This was a really helpful video Nadine, thank you! I've just graduated university and my plan is to work full time as much as I can for a year and save save save and then go travelling next year! Your videos are a huuuuge help! Much love!

Thanks for this, Nadine!

Great video! I'm so glad I've saved my money so I can travel this summer before I start uni! You have also inspired me to make travel videos and document my time while I'm there 😀 keep up the great work

Great video! Some things are so obvious but we need a reminder for them :) I try to save more money and now I will use some of your advices​ too.

I legit went on couchsurfing to find a guy that is giving me a couch 1 a week closer to my school to save money on gas (10$ a week more towards traveling) doesnt seem like much but over 3 years of school I managed to put enough aside from this little tip to pay for a WHOLE MONTH in thailand... totally worth it. Made a very good friend and discovered a wonderfull place

Omg, spreadsheets! I got way too excited when I heard you say spreadsheets! They're so awesome! Thank you!!!

This is so helpful!! Thankyou so much!

This is awesome! Thank you 💖

Awesome! Thanks Nadine!

Your suggestion about moving closer to work is a great one. I did that for other reasons and was amazed at how much money I saved on gas, tires and maintenance.

This is going to help me sooooo much!!!!!!!! Thank you!!

Wow great points.. Well noted

I want to travel but am nervous about having the money to travel this advice was so helpful! love your videos!

Selling a lot of old things paid for 75% of all expenses for my Spain trip! So worth the time and effort

I think this video is super great!!! I do all of this and have been for the past two years. I use the Daily Budget app to help me budget and it works pretty well. Doing this I have gotten to travel once each year for a two week vacation. Of course I would like to travel more, but this is a great start!

Love this!

Hey Nadine, Great video. Keep up the good work. I used to sublet my place but now I rent my room out. I also freelance work and can do it remotely.

some very solid advice. While we saved for our 2 year trip that we are currently on we got bikes to get to work, and had super cheap cars that we actually sold for more then we paid for. I love my cold brew Starbucks before my later shifts at work so I learned how to make my own. I bought the Starbucks Coffee bulk at Costco. We said we could only eat out once a week, and tried to get friends to meet at the cheap local restaurants or just at the beach for drinks. We had month to month cell phone bills that were very cheap. We worked to keep our monthly bills to just insurance, rent, phone, Internet.

Great video! Thanks! Your hilarious!!! 😂😂😂

Planning on selling my second car and change my spending habits such as buying new clothes and eating out. By the way, your office looks awesome 😊

i think i just gave a guesstimate budget that only exists in my head but I don't have any debt or loans. I have a travel savings account and I've been able save with things like food, groceries, making my own lunch and coffees etc

I hate budgeting because my income varies but I don't spend that much anyway

You are amazing!

Love these spreadsheets, I am such a numbers nerd and do the same.

Loved this & made my boyfriend watch this with me!

It's true, you do not have to be rich to travel, and even travelling in expensive countries like Japan (I'm currently in Tokyo) can be done cheaply if you are frugal with your money. The most expensive aspect of travel are flights and accommodation. To save money on accommodation I've done volunteering in return for free place to stay, or, house sitting, which I've yet to do yet. It's important to do your research before you travel to save the most money, from my own experiences.

Great ideas! I'd just mention that if you're planning to work remotely from another country, be sure that it's 100% legal to do so and if you'd be liable for paying tax, etc in that country, or need any kind of visas or paperwork beforehand. My partner wanted to do his online remote job whilst visiting me in the UK but we found out that's very illegal to just come over & keep working without having permission to first!

This video is amazing, I'm actually shocked at how much unnecessary spending I've been doing 😭I'm wasting about 3/4 of my earnings. Thank you 🙏

a great tip to travel, if you follow her advices, is coming to Brazil's Carnival! Come here, guys!

Legend says Nadine will reply to my comment ♡♡♡ Love you Nadine

Do you collect/save currency from all the countries you visit? The framed display looks cool. 👍

I'm so not used to see you with the dark hair :D

So funny this video and well done. Change your mindset, make money with your possessions, lower your costs and you are free to go... most of the times 😉

And also visit the best places in your own city as well. (y)

I'm currently travelling, before I asked my work if they could keep half of my wages until I leave to go travelling! I was lucky that I worked with my aunty, but still worth a try, or giving half the money into a different bank account or to family to save! :)

Remove your debt as fast as you can. Life will feel so much better. I removed some debt and it was a lifechanger

Nice video :) To be honest, budgeting never worked for me. I don't think it's sustainable. You get motivated to "budget" for like a month and then you give up. I did some more research and found out about an even more effective way which doesn't really have a name but I like to call it "allocating". I love this method because it allows ANYONE on ANY INCOME to save without giving up little treats (because despite what everyone seems to think, you don't have to cut out the things you want either). I also love this way because you get rid of that guilt when you do splurge because you realise that you actually can afford that. I won't go into it more here but I have just decided that I'm going to make a video about it :)

Im good on not eating out much these days. But still working hard at making money

Just a tip for people, some banks have free budgeting software. Wells Fargo has a good one, but I've also used Golden1. It is nice because it automatically pulls your expenses from credit card charges. But if you use a lot of cash, a set up like Nadine is ideal. :)

Hey Nadine thanks! Yeah I live by a budget. I grew up poor and I think I'm always afraid to not be able to afford my life. So I have an excel sheet where I do overall budgeting and I update it yearly, probably something similar to what you are sharing with people. Then I use my banks budget stuff to see how I am hitting my marks monthly.

Affiliate marketing is one way to add an income source but it does require some work and commitment to the process of building a business.

I'm trying to sell more of my stuff but it has become tedious posting each individual thing and meeting with people. I would like a more efficient and quicker way to get rid of these things and make some money. How did you do it? FB groups? Craigslist? Should I try bundling? I have been using LetGo & 5miles and its more of a hassle than its worth. Advise please anyone?

I feel like I'll never be able to travel; I have a personal dilemma. My rent is my biggest expense at $1200 a month but I refuse to have roommates or share my apartment with anyone. I just can't do it. I value my privacy and clean house too much. I can't really find a cheaper place because I already live in the cheapest apartment complex in my city. When I think about how much it costs to travel, I feel so discouraged. Hopefully one day I will make enough money to just save and go.

Is it possible for you to move back in with your parents? That's always the cheapest accommodation. If not, then sharing your apartment is the sacrifice you might have to make to give you money for travel. However, try the budget thing. You might get a big surprise how much you can save that way.

D Lish no matter what happens, whenever you get your pay, put 20$ aside and don't touch it. You'll see how fast it adds up. Then, whenever you leave to visit someone or whatever, put your appartment on airbnb, i assume you live in a big city because of how expensive your rent is. If you have spare rooms, you can still put them on airbnb and stay in it but you'll still have to share your house somehow, even if it's for short period of time. Also, if you're at the max of your savings, think about finding the cheapest flights, cheapest hostels etc. I used to live in Paris (where my school was) and the rent was enormous, and that's how I saved money for my graduation trip :D

How you doin? (Joey Tribbiani from Friends reference) I've got my own plan....hear me out. Hey Nadine, will you take me traveling with you? ;o)

Good video but most banks already provide budgeting options and "save for something" options on their online banking websites so you don't have to do this extensive and meticulous method of writing everything on paper. Also, I feel like this video is more so targeted towards people who have full-time jobs, as a student with no other duties it is quite simple, you get a job and save depending how many hours you work and minimum wage in your country (best to set a goal like I will save by this date... and so forth). Of course, if you are paying for school and rent this becomes near impossible as a student unless you have wealthy parents. The whole discount system on most booking websites (trust me as someone super organised I double check every website) is not good they expect you to consider 2k,3k,4k for a decent vacation "affordable" (obvs there are like cheaper but you have to cut down on a normal hotel room and food services and it becomes not enjoyable) as a student that is not even close to affordable... Again, I have watched your video explaining how you started travelling but that is a subjective thing you had the chance and means to do that and that's awesome obvs but not all students can become avid travelers so soon and where I live, Montreal, to be an international student or to do any travelling of any sort on a frequent basis for school or for fun is really expensive like even if you save if you have duties elsewhere like school or rent forget it that is not happening.

those money from around the world is wise
