I am a retired widow debt, mortgage and car free and live very comfortably on $27,000 a year. I walk to the grocery store and doctors, take the bus to shop at the other end of town once in a while. Friends give me a lift to church. I have a nine month of expenses emergency fund and invest extra money every month saving for when I need to go into a retirement home.
FJB they want peasants ! Just to think you live on so little wile our government lives Like KINGS! 😢
@@Fubar234 she is living like a frugal queen. Go UnaMary 57 !
Although I'm female, I do not use a purse or wallet for money, only carrying sunglasses and ChapStick in one, if at all.
I got robbed once so carry my credit card and/or cash, just enough for that shopping trip in a runner's cuff, pocket or shoe. If my purse is snatched, oh well for the Dollar Tree purse and the Dollar Tree sunglasses and chapstick.
I also dress poor with no jewelry on purpose to avoid theft.
Just saying.
I drive an old Toyota and live in a very old building for the same reason. Everyone in my building is on disability, working a very low wage job, or a college student. I'm the only professional. I carry an $8 backpack from Walmart. I thought about paying my rent several months in advance but I don't want my landlord to know I can afford to do that. No one in my building has ever been robbed because the assumption is that everyone is poor. I love the low rent of $550/month utilities included and I make sure my landlord knows that I'm very careful with my energy and water usage. My apartment sits empty and dark without heat/AC 50 hours a week while I'm at work. I only use the AC at night and on weekends. I'm on the third floor so I barely need more than the pilot light in the winter. He's only raised my rent $50 in the past five years.
My husband and I both grew up very poor. We decided early on we would live below our means and save for the hard times. I was constantly made fun of for paying off our house, driving an old paid off but nice car and not buying new clothes all the time. I brewed our coffee at home, packed our lunches and made meals at home each day. We choose to spend our time gardening in the summer verses traveling the world as many of our co workers did. However, today we are retired early. Those who constantly made fun of me are still working and will until they are asked to resign or die.
I have changed my lifestyle since watching your videos. I stay out of the stores, save money, use your grocery tips and make do with what I have. I occasionally have to buy something besides food but try not to. I want to thank you for pouring your life out to other people.
I'm old enough to tell you life was good before internet and cell phones! I would miss your videos but we had more personal friends back in the day. We could actually walk to our local greasy spoon restaurant and have coffee with friends in person for under a buck. Can you imagine real people for friends....not text messaging friends....and free refill coffee for under a buck! We would share ideas for cooking...like your chicken sandwich. We would encourage each other and best of all we would laugh. Good old belly laughs are good for your soul. Now I am missing the good old days......
I was born before Internet and cell phones. It started becoming popular when I was about 18. I missed out on coffee in diners but I met my friends at the creek all the time and we floated down the creek, went on bike jumps, got away with a lot of crazy stuff, it was a blast!
Internet is a necessity for me because I work from home. This allows me to save on gas, work clothes, wear and tear on my car and not being in the position of possibly being talking into eating out. My car only moves on the weekends. For me internet saves me a ton of money in this way.
Cable isn’t necessary. Internet is, and I use a Roku box for my TV over 2 years now.
I gave up cable several years ago and agree with you. I just watch CZcams.
Fans might disagree, but tickets to a Taylor Swift concert are not a necessity.
😂
I AGREE but for SOME ITS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME TREAT.
Im a small enging mechanic and i want to tell you what my side hustle is. For example today i paid $400 for a like new 2400watt Yamaha gas generator that sat for 2 years with old gas in it and wouldn't start or run. I took it home and cleaned the fuel system out and it fired up 1st pull and functions like new. This generator was $1200 new in 2015 and is almost $1500 today. I will dust it off and post it on Facebook Market place for $750 and 2 weeks from know i will sell it for $675 . I will make $275 tax free profit. I do this on lawnmowers, generators, tillers, snowblowers some chainsaws and just about anything i know after 40+ years of doing this i will make money on. I spend about 10 hours a week doing this and make between $1000 - $1500 . I have about $1000 out at any time.
Hubby has been offered a 3 year job getting triple pay and free house, 10 hour shifts and a three day weekend to come home. All the other guys on his crew are family men too. I’m excited for this. I work in the city in surgery. We are going to live on one income and put the big income away. It will be a lifestyle change for 3 years, but I am positive and grateful. I feel very blessed.
I prefer the money and a thrifted purse. It's a choice and lifestyle. People are not taught the difference between necessity and want.
Older I get, less I need. Simple food, roof over my head, firewood to keep me warm. Clean tap water, clothes. Well, what else there is to need/want? I have everything I hoped for 10 years ago❤
Almost anyone can do this but they don’t want to. My son and his wife make more money than we do and we are wealthy and they live paycheck to paycheck. We went out to dinner tonight with them. Guess who bought soft drinks and who got water. Guess who took all their leftovers home. Then guess who wanted to grab ice cream cones afterwards. It’s these little differences that make you wealthy.
my exception to that is a nice mixed cocktail at a restaurant or a draft beer because I don't keep that stuff at home. if I'm out with friends, I'll have my weekly two drinks. but yes for leftovers galore, and free bread rolls to use for brekkie
Wow, your comment, "poor people continue to be poor by pretending to be rich, and rich people grow their wealth by pretending to be poor" is SO true! You hit the nail on the head, Prepper Princess!❤
My brother totaled two cars in four months and was without transportation with a bad knee and hip so he can't ride a bike or walk too far. The nearest store is about 5 miles away. He now has Walmart deliver what he needs for $98 a year. That is way cheaper than auto insurance, car maintenance and everything associated with a car in CA. His other appointments are via Lyft but still comes no way near what he was paying.
Maybe a mobility scooter? I find them for $300 sometimes. Not as fast or versatile as an e bike but it can get him out of the house and to the store
Great advice for the able-bodied. Once adversity hits and you're no longer able to work, everything changes.
I was in a meeting with people that made well over 6 digits annually. They decided to do a round table discussion on what each person paid in mortgage interest and how much they still owed the bank. I was the lowest paid person at the table by A LOT and when I said I did not have an interest rate and owed nothing they were shocked. What surprised me most was the VP of finance shared how stupid that was because did I know how much I could made in the stock market. I informed him I sleep very well at night having a paid off house. These are called the smart ones because they have a college degree.
People always use the stock market excuse but….maybe you invested and paid for your house in cash with stock market earnings?!?!
Wealthy-healthy, happy with community, food, shelter and water
You got out of the hole and built wealth on your own on low paying jobs. Kudos to you, on that achievement.
I decided years ago to engineer my personal balance sheet as a rich person's balance sheet. This approach has been successful.
I call it my decade of sacrifice. I'm in year nine.
God has shown me that He really is the Owner of my finances, I'm just a Steward of my finances, and I rather be frugal to be a good Steward of my finances!
Austerity is based on reality. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT SITUATION YOU WILL BE IN TOMORROW.
True words, as always, PP.
Yes....I think I would die if I tried to ride a bike to the grocery store.
118 degrees here, I probably would die 😂 during summer at least
For two years, I rode my bike to the grocery store 2 miles up hill-ish, easy ride down hill home. I carried my groceries with a folding shopping cart ( the rectangular box kind w wheels) strapped to the back. I got called homeless crazy, people held their nose and called me names when I rode by. I was physically attacked and injured by a real homeless guy who thought I was poaching in his recycling collecting territory despite my groceries and the eggs he busted. People in cars threw things at me. It changed when I got pannier baskets instead and went more often. Yet people who just ride bikes in this town for the exercise are left alone. 🤷🏼♀️ I do miss the easy way of being fit and active with a purpose, but not the unmitigated abuse of a simple trip to the grocery store.
I would die. I’m 2 & a half miles from the main road and another 4 to the closest grocery store. No sidewalks.
Loved this video! Your advice on living frugally and investing wisely is spot on. It's inspiring to see how these habits can really lead to financial freedom. Thanks, Prepper Princess!
I will be 43 this month, and I have never had a car. Anyhow, awesome video!
Necessities are what you need to stay alive, not what you need to be comfortable.
Warren Buffet is a classic example. He lives in Nebraska, where I do , and drove an old Honda for years. This was even after he was filthy rich.
He still buys breakfast at the McDonalds drive thru :) Fabulous habits and discipline he has!
He still lives in the same house and wears the same old man clothes from the 90's. If he can have that $5 McDouble deal, so can I 😂
To increase your wealth learn to tell the difference between wants and needs then reduce wants to near zero...oh!..... then stop being a slave to fashion and brand names.
As soon as you click your tv off, it went to commercial lol
Haha yes it did!! Mine was a MYoutDesk MYD ad. You were right!
I save by NOT getting an upgraded CZcams. I can almost click the SKIP button in my sleep. I stay with my condo's cable package and do NOT subscribe to extra channels. I rarely eat out and close my curtains to keep the direct sun out. I have a small fan on the floor in front of my chair in case I need to cool down after being outside. I'm now switching to short sleeve shirts and shorts for summer so I can click my A/C thermostat to one degree less cool. Small ordinary stuff counts.
I love it! You’re raising them right!
My grandpa who died at 92 told me he never met a rich person who became rich by being honest. It's not a rule, but being wealthy has a price - your time, energy or using someone else. I prefer to work normaly, and live with what I have, not trying to impress someone who will never help me if I was in need. If you have 3 meals a day, a house, a car and clothes, pardon my French, you are bloody wealthy because in some countries people don't have clean water.
Your grandpa was cynical and sounds a little bitter.
@@faustinreeder1075 That was just his experience, it doesn't mean it is completely true, but some rules exist. He survived the WW2 and conmunist era, he was not naive nor stupid.
Unfortunately having the internet and a cell phone have become modern necessities. We are forced to do our banking online and to have a cell phone for security checks etc. Even doctor appointments are now going online and to claim benefits you need to do this online. So to live in the modern world they are necessities.
Riding a bike to the grocery store would get me in shape. That is if I didn’t die of a heatstroke first. 😂
Living a frugal lifestyle to accummulate money to invest and build wealth does not mean a life without fun. It just means finding frugal ways to have fun. My spouse and I like to have a meal out occasionally, but frankly the meals we make at home often taste better and certainly cost a lot less. So yesterday, for lunch out as a treat we went to Pink Box, each chose a luxury doughnut and a bootle of milk and that was lunch for two for around $20. And this felt as luxurous to us as a steak and lobster meal at a fine restaurant. It is a matter of perspective and expectations.
We go out once a week with our friend group to Mexican and I get two margaritas. My meal always has leftovers for lunch the next day. That is luxury to me--being tipsy with friends from tequila and laughing once a week. Mexican food down here in AL is pretty cheap too.
My father had a lot of money and he always pretended to be poor. He'd order soup at restaurants, buy used cars instead of new, get shirts at garage sales , and keep the heat low in freezing cold temps as some examples 😂
None of that sounds weird to me.
Makes sense to me. That thinking is probably why he had money.
Thats how I live too.
If I were to become single again, I wouldn’t own a car. I’d use the bus, and pay family or friends to take me out occasionally. Such a huge savings !
It's very doable, at least where I live (Kettering, Ohio). A cop recently stopped me as I was walking in the big industrial park behind where I live, chatted me up and told me he really likes our "bedroom community," lol. It's definitely walkable. We do have a nice bike path system here in Ohio. I've got no desire to get back on a bike at my age (70) but occasionally walk on sections of it. I signed my old car over to my grandnephew almost two years ago, and it's actually been like a weight lifted. I can afford to buy a used car but just don't have any desire to. I love getting out and walking anyway and am very close to anything I need, including my doc, the post office, a CVS, a couple thrift stores, restaurants and a grocery store (though I mostly use the Kroger Boost program to have groceries delivered for free). We have a great RTA bus system here that I use often and actually enjoy it at $1 a ride. It's like being back in high school when we took the bus daily downtown to my high school but much improved with clean newer buses and AC, and the drivers are friendly. My brother and sister and their kids are close by. Funny, though, people tend to feel sorry for you or think you're nuts for not caring about having a car anymore.
Dear Prepper Princess!! 💜 I so am thankful for your videos, and no nonsense advice!! Thankyou!! mililani ❤️ 💚🧡💛
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
Hi yourself, from the UK x
Hey PP call it low profile lifestyle 😉 😎
You don't value material possessions like most people do. Your values are different, that's all.
I thought I had reformed my spendthrift ways, but when my mother asked me to hem some clothes for her my first thought was “I will have to buy a sewing machine!” and I was thrilled to have the excuse. However. I managed to think again and remembered I could sew by hand perfectly well 😇. I still miss my old Singer treadle, though 😢
In 2013 I looked at our yearly budget and started buying stocks that pay dividends and built our way up to what our yearly budget was at that time. Over time the dividend payouts have increased but we also reinvested each time they paid out. I have to say it has been such a blessing because I don't look at what the stock market does and if the stock price goes up or down either way the same dividend amount is paid out each quarter. I wished I was educated on dividends earlier in life but it has made a huge difference in our lives.
At your age, saving and investing makes sense. R
Riding a bike to the store makes sense. At my age it doesn’t
I have read the book The millionaire next door and his other book called stop acting rich, when you realize how truly wealthy people, not the movie star rich really live it blows your mind!
Great books!
I was going to recommend The Millionaire Next Door too!!
It completely opened my eyes and I changed my life based on what I leaned from that book.
I live well without a car. :-) I walk or take the bus. I am retired, solo and new to this town, so I take courses to meet people. However, I chose to always take a course at the University of Third Age because the University has an agreement with the Society of Transport. By paying approximately 35$, it allows me to get a bus pass for the session without paying. So, normally, I would pay 40$ (fee for people over 65) X 4 months = 160$. Instead, I pay appr. 35$. At spring, I visited my sister who lives 187 km from me. I took an interurban bus service to reach her. In fall, I plan to visit my son who lives 249 km from me. I will take an interurban bus. When my sister or my son visits me, they offer to go with me if I want to buy things too big to transport in a bus. P.S. : I am French and not perfectly bilingual, so excuse my mistakes.
Rich people dont care about money .... they cant spend enough of it to matter
I couldn’t ride a bike16 miles to dialysis 3 times a week! I am not healthy enough to ride a bike! I wish I was! Praying I can keep my 2015 Malibu going! My worst waste is food! Been saving for a while, hoping soon I can remodel my 38 year old bathroom! Not a necessity, but I feel needed! Love all your videos!
You are Great. I gave up carrying a stupid puse about 10 years ago. Always have pockets for keys and wallet. Don't understand why some women think they have to carry a Monster purse....Cargo Pants are Wonderful. 😊😊 Have checking into those electric tricycles. Can't afford one right now. Senior citizen.. trying to save. Have a Great Day...
Im trying to spend money on things i Need and not on what i Want!
Consume or not consume, that is the question...Necessity or a strong desire to be trendy....To be frugal or not is definitely a probem for rich countries...
my senior dad is selling his SUV and buying a used electric golf cart- here in Florida, its a lifestyle thing to drive your cart to the shops etc...used golf cart is 2500- he will save 1400 a year on car insurance, and at least 2000 on gas, not to mention savings maintenance, tires and tags- for Dr appts he gets free rides from his medicare...for family outings he has us!
Go with the majority and you'll do as well as they do but wealthy people are in the minority, they do things that most won't do.
Yes, I would literally die walking or biking to anywhere. Health issues, but Im great at ordering supplies on line
I would have trouble walking while carrying anything substantial, and I would fall off a bike because my balance is out. It takes me half an hour to walk a mile, and that is the furthest I can go from home while still being able to get back (after a rest). Fortunately I can buy most of the smaller things I need locally and have everything else delivered. If public utilities and services stopped functioning, however, I would be unable to cope.
I have been reading a Victorian novel about the collapse of English society after a disaster. I had not thought previously about the plagues of rats and mice and the packs of feral dogs and cats that would spread out of cities into rural areas in search of food and prey, let alone gangs of people planning to loot and occupy. I don’t think I would last long in those circumstances.
Maybe a mobility scooter instead?
Appreciate your no-nonsense approach to finances. Self-discipline and delayed gratification are the foundation for living on less.
Keep up the good work.
Stay practical

Millionaire too, I get my clothes from Costco or Sams and buy cheaper nice houses about 2.5x annual salary. Drive my vehicles until 200K+ miles. I get it, so what if net worth is 1.whatever million. I am not trying to impress anyone and emergencies are just an inconvenience. Peace of mind and ability to give is priceless.
Hi Princess! Super to hear from you at 3.30 am! Aussie Lady
My Joy and Happiness is in the Lord, not in having alot of material possessions ! God is showing me that! I've been decluttering and getting rid of alot of things! Less is best! Blessings, sis!
"And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows," I Timothy 6:8-10 KJV.
@@cynthiamurphy3669 Amen, sister, preach it!
Im very frugal and still find ways to cut costs...phillipians 4:11..i have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.❤
I'd have no way to get to work without a car. I rarely use it though, I work mostly at home. Work moved buildings and I no longer have public transportation. It's 1.5 hour drive one way, I would die trying to walk that 😂
Phone and internet is a must in this day and age cause of bills, etc all get sent via email. I know with me being disabled and having to have access to disability funding means I need to have access to a phone, and internet,
My finances would be TOTALLY different if I was single. My husband is the spender, and while he doesn't buy useless stuff, he's impatient and would rather finance than save up and pay cash. An entire paycheck of mine goes to such payments, and with the interest, we're not even making a dent in paying it down. A year ago we were debt free outside of our mortgage and now we live paycheck to paycheck. We buy the occasional precious metals as savings since I don't trust the economy. But man, the accumulation of those dumb little payments will get you everytime...
I have arthritis, I could not walk to the grocery store, and I live in a hillside so riding a bike isn't safe. I need a car.
Agree, I have mobility issues, walking to the mailbox out front is difficult.
We’re all different. Each of us has places we need/want to spend and places we can save/ invest. My line in the sand is air conditioning. (Texas)
@@GrannyLinn - oh, yes...AC here also - Florida, heat index today 110 degrees
I use a mobility scooter and go all over our rural town, yes I own a car but I restrict its use deliberately, sometimes only putting gas in every two months...AC is a luxury not a necessity......ps I live in out back Australia so I know what real heat is❗
I never fell for the "I deserve" a new outfit attitude. My clothes were nice, clean and appropriate for the job. My boss told me each year she was giving a little extra raise so I could afford some new clothes. How did we turn into a machine of buying new clothes every week? Yes, some of my co workers had new outfits (blouse, pants/skirt and shoes) mailed to their house each and every week that were picked out by some person that knew their body shape and likes??
I'm a divorce attorney at a boutique firm. I go to the thrift store quarterly to get a "new" dress or blazer for court. I've even got a cute blazer at a garage sale and added some Wal-Mart pearl buttons to it. I'm a frugal 6 figure person. The craziest thing to me is the correlation between who makes the most and who spends the least money at lunch. I bring my lunch everyday or get the support staff's "scraps" when they buy $20 lunches. I shop at Aldi and bring leftovers or cheap fixings. Support staff buys lunch out everyday with door dash and Uber-eats.
But yeah as for the work clothes, no one really pays attention. I see old male attorneys in court very disheveled and wearing ripped khakis. One in a small county even shit his pants. The judge didn't say anything.
Excellent trick that , shutting off the tv . I don’t have one now since 7 years, so no cable . Had long patches in my previous lives with no tv. Cell phone is necessity in modern world. I do have internet on the iPhone and I do overspend on data. Bad me. No car, no microwave. The high interest savings account is only giving me 0.85% here in Canada, not even 1%. But I have 2 or 3 very minuscule guaranteed income certificate accounts with higher interest but they are locked in too . That money is gone forever to me . Have a lovely day .☀️
Spot On!!!!! Great video!!!❤
So wish CZcams and you were around when I had a large income I just wasted on… Gucci purses. 😢❤
😢
No, you didn’t you enjoy those Gucci purses didn’t you enjoy your things? That’s what life is all about. Don’t you ever forget that?
Life is NOT about living as if every day is a party without tomorrow! People’s priorities are seriously messed up
Agree that better money management when young is the most important thing to learn. But everybody’s list of their needs can be quite different from others. I now look for a ‘new’ purse at goodwill or consignment stores. I have found a couple that were very ‘lightly used’ for very little money. It is fun to set a low budget and to see what you can do with it.
I agree, the house would probably still standing without the mobile.. But, that's only our assumption 😇😇😇😇. Nice video.. Greetings from Croatia
This is one of my favorite videos of yours!
I have a very basic mobile phone on a very low pre paid plan. We own our home and car ,we don't have any debts. I can't walk to my shops, but I make sure I only take the car out when I can get a lot of things done on the one trip.
😮 You turned off the tv and a commercial started 😅
ok, i get it it it, baby steps, i'm wanting a second mutt but have to find the right one.
You have your TV on ! Shut it off you will save even more money!
Beyond excellent points here! TFS!
I don’t know what happened to you, but when she turned the tv off I got a CZcams ad. I of course watched cause I mean I no longer was able to watch the tv.
I always love to listen to your straight forward way of telling things. Thanks ❤
Great video PP, 🤩 thank you
I Always appreciate your perspective 😊thanks!
Young black kids in the Bronx don’t even know what the internet is
Isn't that governor an idiot.
You can get lovely purses at Walmart grade stores for under $30...I skimp on the wallet even...seen less than the purse what we see is what makes us happy....and having cash to have treats. Love that...true too...poor pretend staying forever sad, most wealthy are smart and not wasteful. Not always..young athletes think it'll last forever..they forget they can be ruined in a few years. Very risky way to think for them....modesty is always wonderful I'm going to say!
I think a lot of people don’t invest because they don’t know how. They are not taught that anymore.
Self education is still exist 😊

Electric bikes aren’t allowed on the 24 mi bridge I have to drive to get to work and there’s no public transportation in my city. I’m doing great though!
Louisiana?
I loved your book! It was a good read with many useful pieces of information for the modern lifestyle!
If no tv would watch all your utubes
I so wish I could ride my bike to work and to the supermarket. It's 16 miles to work on major hilly roads....even the professional bike racers have difficulty when they race around here. Hmmmm....thinking about maybe a motorcycle but the way people have been driving since CONVID is insane. Can't chance it. I have to be here for my puppy. I do mow my own lawn and as a female I see the men riding around on ther tractors while I'm kicking a$$ on my push mower. Live a frugal life and am happy for it. I'm old enough to be your mom and I must say that you continue to be quite an inspiration. Keep it up and keep the faith in Jesus. Sharing your baptism really resonated with me and helped me find my way back to faith.

I do need the internet to work at home. I must be hard wired into my desktop computer from work to earn money to sustain my living. I don’t have cable. I did talk to my internet company and did get it reduced by $12 per month. I also reduced my car insurance and reduced my cell phone bill. I could reduce more with my cell phone bill. At least my grocery store is with 3 miles that I could walk/ ride my bike. I could walk to the post office and pharmacy. However, I do have arthritis and it isn’t the most fun to walk distances.
Great video!
A trick that has worked for me to keep from buying stuff unnecessarily, even if I think it would be a useful item to have is that I wait a week and do more research on CZcams about the problems with that item or how that item works. I specifically look for negative reviews good detailed negative reviews. I also look for other ways to accomplish the same job using a different tool I might already have.
I haven’t had cable tv since 1994 I like free tv.

Wish I had someone I could talk to/financial mentor.
So the 4% interest is calculated at a year period.
Ex my local cu interest is calculated for a year
Most places pay a daily rate with interest paid monthly. If you leave the interest in the account, it will also earn interest the next month and so on.
I haven't owned a TV for 14 years, I'm still here. I haven't had a car for 18 years. I've never had a microwave. I don't own a smartphone. I've never used an app. I wash my dishes by hand. I've done my laundry in a bucket for 18 years and hang it to dry. I haven't been to a movie, a Starbucks, a restaurant in 20 years. I'm still here. I don't miss or need any of it. I've never used Uber, Door-Dash. I don't even own a bike. Everyone's situation is different but people really don't need all this stuff.
