Been married forever. We raised 3 kids that are grown. We have never purchased new furniture or did any remodeling. We have the same 2 cars we bought in 2003. To us it isn’t a sacrifice. We appreciate what we have. When people tell me my house looks outdated it makes me feel proud. It’s still functional, it just doesn’t impress them. And I LOVE not impressing people. It’s the ultimate freedom.
They don't live in our home. We do. We do what makes us happy . Who cares what others think!!??😂
I love what you said I completely 💯 agree
@@corniss I agree!!❤
♥️
You are so smart !!
Here in Brazil people is used to survive with less than $ 260 a month - and yet they are smiling. Americans are very materialistic.
Not all of us!!
I've lived on $1200 or less for 13 yrs. That includes medical and dental insurance.
It's not hard. Rarely eat out. Only buy on sale and nothing I don't need or use. Roku box. Live in the country and that provides enough entertainment from the animals and a bonus is exercise.
I shop 1 day/week making multiple stops so that saves on gas.
Bought furniture I still love 35 yrs ago. Have solid color fabric on sofa and chairs and change pillows and throws out seasonally.
I sleep peacefully at night knowing I'm totally debt free! ❤️
Smart
Is it just me or has anyone else started to find our consumption culture nauseating after getting on board with a frugal lifestyle??
Yup
or like when the Tories got in power in England and we have to eat foodbanks....it became quite a game...and if ur competitive you just watch videos like this ....to help win xx
Your dog is also goal oriented-he found the most comfy spot.
Sweet comment.
We love you Nala.
Yea! Her dog face is so cute!!!
The dogs are adorable ❤❤❤
My Mom raised 5 kids on $100/wk child support, back in the mid-70's...$5,250.00 per year, with a mortgage. She had a job at a breakfast and lunch shop, and we had jobs as soon as we could. We got by w vegetable garden, day old bread products, oatmeal, honey, soups and thrift shops for goods. We knew hard work was the key to achievement. Being out in nature brings me great peace. I am content and owe no one, aside from regular monthly bills. My 2007 Honda CRV, purchased in 2013 w clean carfax record, 1 owner, serves me well and I'm blessed without the demon of debt breathing down my neck. My siblings follow the same format😊.
I haven't been to a movie theater in about 3 years. The most fun I have had in the last year was when I went to Walmart on a Saturday night and watched store security catch a shoplifter. Now THAT'S entertainment (and it was free).
Hope the shoplifter wasn’t hungry and stealing food
They catch shop lifters now?
@@ashrafjafri1134 Who cares? You go to food pantries, churches, and other community resources and ask for for food nicely - you don't steal it.
@@andersdottir1111 They had 3 guys on the shoplifter. He wasn't going anywhere. It was great.
I live on $914 a month and it's just me here, I continue to find more ways to live on the cheap and bare minimum. What makes it hard is the cost of living going up so to mitigate that cost I am growing a garden, first time in over 5 years. It's all coming together slowly. Having less doesn't necessarily mean going without, it's very freeing and your soul will thank you. Love your channel, keep up the great work.
There is a book on perennial vegetables that’s fantastic. Not sure where you live but I’ve come to rely on them
More and more. Less work and more abundance! 😊
So many women seemed to be brainwashed into viewing shopping as entertainment. I did for a bit when I was younger, but no more. Fortunate to live by a forest park to enjoy instead!
I have to admit sometimes I listen to you because you give me a reality check about unnecessary spending.
I’m addicted to mindless spending. I know it doesn’t help, it makes me feel like crap, and 9/10 it does nothing to improve and actively makes my life worse. This is just one in a myriad of addiction issues for me. I am inspired by watching your videos and hope to find the willpower to get out from under it.
Saving money is just as addictive. Super savers get the same dopamine hit that shopaholics do when our bank or investment account grows.
Aww, man. I couldn't agree more. Stop spending money everywhere you turn, on useless crap!
My little brother told me once,less is more. Maybe he's right
You mentioned feeding ducks. We did that when I was a kid. About twice a month my mom would shop at a bakery outlet and we would get free loaves of stale bread and stop at the park on way home and feed the ducks. It was fun for us kids.
Did that with my grandbabies, it is fun
I also used to shop for entertainment but don’t do that anymore. I consider it a waste of time (and money).
I have Minimalized my belongings to a good place. I am currently minimizing my so called “friends”. I find most of people are self serving and disappoint me. I have two really good friends that have never disappointed me as long as I’ve known them. The rest of the people I’m distancing myself from. I’m much happier 🤗
That’s what I am doing!
I really admire how you live within your income. When I was younger I really liked to work my last job was with the Feds for over 20 years. I liked to work overtime. I was able to support my kids well. They are raised and quite successful. I lived a lot like you, but I finally realized I'm in my 80s and I NEEDED TO SPEND MONEY! That was so strange and different for me. Finally, I got an Amazon Prime account. It was hard at first because I never used to spend much. I stay within my budget, but I have had so much fun. In the Church (we're LDS) I'm in charge of cleaning the Church building. I call about 25 families to help each week. Some show up I give them socks, toys, and treats for coming. It is so much fun, but like all good things I know it will come to an end.
Love that there is someone else out there just like me.
Was in debt, chapter 11 bankruptcy. Ever since then, I have stayed debt free. Unless it's an emergency and pay the bill asap. I want something I save my money. No cable, no satellite, no rent. I live in a camper and own my land. I pay utilities and my cell phone. I own my vehicles.
I live a clean simple life and serve the Good Lord and Jesus. And I help addicts and homeless try to get into recovery centers and back on their feet. I try to share with them the less I have the less that controls me. And that is a blessing in itself. Have a great day and God bless.
I buy almost nothing, myself, but I am 57 years old. I bought expensive, well-made tools, furniture, kitchen ware, and other gear many years ago. Don't need anything now.
It’s extremely scary to not have medical insurance. In 2006 I was in the middle of chemo. My short term disability ended. So did my job and my health insurance. Luckily I had long term insurance which provided some finances for the 9 months until I went back to work but I could not afford Cobra.
Last year I qualified for Medicare and have a phenomenal advantage plan. I have no deductibles or copays other than $50 for a MRI or CT scan. I am thrilled beyond words to be back with Kaiser Permanente once again. It’s such a huge relief.
Divorce set me back 25 years (moneywise, we won't get into the psychological trauma). I am 62 and finally caught up again. Not sure whether to punch out now, or pull the pin at 65. Just found your channel, thanks for the content!
i like to crotchet....and i love woolen and more expensive yarns...my secret is i use gift cards from holidays and special occasions to fund my hobby for zero money...and i turn around and sell my wares....from higher end yarns and make a profit....just a tip for my crafters...youre welcome!!!!!
You really touched me with this thought - it’s not buying things that makes you happy but developing relationships. It is completely true. It’s heartbreaking to admit that we turn to buying things to cover up the sadness of superficial relationships.
I'm on board with you all the way. When I see the gluttony in people around me, it makes me think how misdirected our society is.
This resonated with me. Today I passed some nearby one bedroom apartments and there was a guy trying to force fill his land fill garbage bin. It would take me six weeks + to fill to that capacity. Whatever, maybe a busy consuming week or multiple diaper disposal; made me think though.
Hi, I haven’t responded in quite a while but I just wanted to tell you young lady I think your precious. I have a daughter probably close to your age and you remind me so much of her. It’s so good to see your generation coming up and taking care of business in a good positive way helping others to become better while walking the walk leading the way. God bless you and those that listen to your channel. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have just moved and relocated to Leicester, and I am decorating my new home. Today, I got given two tins of paint for free. So, I watched a bunch of decorating CZcams videos to see how I can make the free paint look amazing.
Decorating my home once and shopping my own home first.
I needed new kitchen wall units, and a family member is getting a new kitchen. I collected the units on Saturday. All free to me.
Xx
Some great tips. I have kicked my habit of doing mindless shopping at Target and Hobby Lobby.
When I’m tempted to buy something I shouldn’t, I just watch one of your videos. It works every single time. Those temptations to buy are decreasing and diminishing more and more as time goes on. Being intentionally grateful for the things I do have and taking care of them helps a lot too. Thank you for all you do! You’ve saved me a ton of money in the two years I’ve been watching you.
I am with you on not going to movies. The muscles in my eyes which track movement are weak, which means that I get really sick when watching motion on a screen. The last movie I saw was one of the Narnia movies - the one which took place on a boat. Some friends won tickets and treated us to a free movie. I sat with my eyes closed most of the time, because I felt seasick. It was so sad. Thankfully, our friends didn't notice my discomfort. I didn't want to make them feel bad.
why buy anything when your neighbors throw everything you will ever need out on the street. even brand new stuff.
I’m good with this philosophy, but NEVER get on a boat with strangers! Frugality shouldn’t come before basic safety.
Or maintain strong discernment & intuition
Having a pupper in your arms that you know you saved and that pup knows you saved her, in my mind , life does NOT get any better. I know that first hand. Life is good. Carry on P.P. Mike
Here’s one of my struggles that I have yet to find a “free” version for: I love working in coffee shops or chill bars/pubs/wineries, etc. I work from home often and live alone, and thus get “lonely”. Not that I want to interact with anyone, but appreciate being in the presence of others. I also like a nice coffee and small snack while working - helps with concentration for some reason. My local library, which I do use are part of my multiple work spaces, does not allow drinks and snacks. It’s also REALLY quiet, and lacks the coffee shop ambiance that somehow puts me into the perfect focused work sweet spot. I work with a laptop, so I do need internet, electricity, and a comfortable sitting space. Is it a “need?” Not in the traditional sense, but preventing burn-out and feelings of isolation are important for mental health. But yeah - it can get pretty expensive.
That’s weird. My library has a cafe.
@@krc2143 Kimberly that’s a great suggestion!!! Thank you!
I am just like You! I save $2K a month since I sold my home in Sonoma, California and pay $600.00 rent on the East Coast. Now, notice I did not say I am HAPPY!! But I'm delighted to see the money accumulating in case I want to buy another house and furniture one of these days. I'm 69 years old. Play Wordle and scrabble for free daily!
I moved out of Santa Rosa to Mendocino County. Very quiet and peaceful
You can volunteer at a museum or theatre, art center etc and you can go whenever you want! My friend volunteers and sees all of the broadway shows for free!
I lived just like you for about 10 years. I still live frugally but nothing like I use to. I was much happier when I lived virtually without any money. Life was simple; every thing I had felt so precious; I appreciated all the little things and the value of those things were so immense. So,... I get it.
I'm now married to the woman of my dreams but she doesn't like the frugality I have. She's no big spender and can go weeks without spending a dime but I can do better 😊
How inspiring! We were able to quit our full time jobs and our old lives in a rat race. Nowadays we don't buy anything except food and diesel for our van. All thanks to minimalism. Freedom is enough when your belly is full!
Just love seeing you in major cuddle time with Nala! Pure contentment!! 💕
Hello! I’ve been trying to cut down spending. I look around at all of the stuff I have that I don’t use. It really stresses me out looking at all the clothes, shoes and all this random stuff. The clutter gets overwhelming and I sit back and think why do I have all this? It may be feel good in the short term to buy but then you’re left w crap everywhere. This will be the summer I donate most of it and start saving more. Thanks for the inspiration w your videos!
I learnt at an early age that there is a huge chasm between wants and real needs in life............the differences between those two simple things can make or break you in life. 'Chose carefully' 😊
My husband and I are remodeling and making repairs to our paid-off home, because my husband is getting close to retirement. We need to have all repairs and maintenance done by then. We don't buy any cleaners like liquid hand soap, shower, toilet, floor, or oven cleaners. Dawn 4x dish soap, vinegar, and baking soda in various combinations do all of these.
I'm as boring as you are (don't take offense), and I'm proud of it! Shopping? Yuck. Duck watching? Great. I'd rather be at home with a cup of tea and a dog than out and about spending money.
I think people r feeling more like this since covid n r proud f it whereas previously people wld b slow t admit it
Once I came to understand the fact that from the time you wake up in the morning, until you go to sleep...your constantly at war to keep your $$. Now that I understand that, Im much better off.
I love how unstressed you are because you have everything taken care of. Clever lady.
Gosh some of these comments are so mean. Glad you found your happiness! You are doing so well, very inspiring.
It boggles them to see someone live so simple and actually be content with life.
I used to be very frugal because I had to. But as the years rolled on, I was making more and less focused on frugality. Now, 3 years before retirement, that focus is coming back. I appreciate your advice.
I hear that, the more you earn the more you spend
Reading books is a wonderful form of entertainment. I buy them second hand from various sources, always older ones, still great but cheap. I can get audiobooks for nothing.
I've been living on a SSDI of less than a $1000 for 13 yrs now u learn all kinds of ways to save money. I'm 63 yrs old my house n car are paid for n I don't need anything, I haven't been to a movie in probably 10 yrs, I NEVER entertain, if I eat out it's at Sams club n spend $2.50 for a pizza slice combo. With prices up for everything it has gotten so much more expensive to feed my animals, n myself, but u learn to do it.
Cat food prices have shot up and it’s stressful trying to find ways to feed my community of cats. I don’t want to stop feeding them no matter if they are tame, semi-feral, or feral. 😕
Maybe find the largest cans of tuna and freeze the rest until next time… Costco whole fryers are big and only 5.00 each.. getting way more food for my 9 cats that way. Better quality nutrition too
@@jem5252 I don't know where u live but for the longest time we had NO kitten food at all anywhere. I had a momma kitty show up at my house 2 yrs ago, she gave birth to 6 babies n from then on it seemed that no store had kitten food, n like you said when they do have it you are going to pay alot more for it. I've notice at Sams club the price of dog n cat food has gone up to $25 for a 25lb bag when I used to get a 32lb bag for $19. It's hard for people on a fixed income
@@katehorrell8732 Yes. That’s it exactly.
You are one cool lady. I started watching your videos almost 2 years ago.
I’m almost out of debt because of it.
I had a few financial setbacks but not derailments because of the plain common sense you have taught.
Thank you!
Got rid of cable 5 years ago and it's saved us 10,000$. We were paying almost 150$ a month. Only use roku and free tv. I stopped going in the stores and only do pick ups..... no impulse buys... We've saved thousands in the last few years!
PP would invest that❣️
Rocky's thought bubble when you said you get everything really cheaply: "Who you calling cheap"?🤣 A pound puppy and a found puppy are such great ways to get a dog. I love that you, someone who spends so little, got your pups the way you did.❤
I use Castile soap, baking soda and vinegar for cleaning. These items are more cost effective and don’t contain chemicals.
I have a relative who is a food hoarder and still eats out two or three times a week! I hate going to movies. Way too expensive and way too loud.
Dining out can be a issue. Who’s preparing the food ? Could be Ex convicts, or folks with hygiene issues. A place near me had hepatitis issues . Flip a coin . Eating at home is the safest. I eat out as little as possible for health and safety reasons and to save money.
Yep, hand washing has gone down the tubes; the more people have access to soap and water, the less people seem to use it!
I have been following you for many years & I've just watched a video of you being interviewed. I just love your new home in California and it's lovely old features. You are awesome.
We watch our grandkids, chickens and ducks for entertainment.
I love the library! It's relaxing by nature and it's fun to browse everything knowing that you can't get jipped because everything is free. Also, my library has a smell that reminds me of being a kid, renting Hardy Boys books and Curious George vinyls lol good times.
I buy very little and want very little. 🤷🏼♀️
The last clip of this video captured what really makes life beautiful; spending it peacefully with loved ones or pets, or even taking time for yourself doing something you love. It’s not about the money 💜
I think it’s really great that you are so frugal. Do you enjoy your life?
I am trying to be more cost aware, but I’m pretty sure I’m never going to want to take other people’s soap “slivers” to make a bar of soap. I will spend the $3 for hygiene items. 😳😬 I think you have to pick and choose what you are willing to be frugal with and to what degree.
I love watching your videos! ❤
Badminton is played with rackets & birds. Your dogs look fantastic. At 61 yrs old I've finally found 2 friends who accept my frugal ways, no shaming or nagging me to be as much a consumer as the majority. Appreciative but wishing it happened sooner.
Badminton is played with a shuttlecock
A few years ago I used my points to buy a Mr. Buddy heater. Haven't needed it here in Texas but I feel better not putting out hard earned money for it. I haven't been to the movies in over 10 years and I was gonna take my grand daughter this weekend but the stomach virus hit my son's house. My biggest grip is my water bill for my apartment was 40.00 a month then they went to 130.00 a month. That hurt.
Dining out is expensive and the plate portions seem smaller.
Printing photos at home is actually more expensive then printing at Walmart and that’s not including the cost of a printer. It’s .09 to print a 4x6 at Walmart and it’s about 12-13cents at home if you buy the largest pack of photo paper and ink. And then you have to be sure you use all the supplies you bought.
. Dear Prepper Princess....I am so happy to have found you. I saved every penny of my wage for 11 years... (literally...every penny)but now I live in my own mortgage free home....and its WONDERFUL. my inspiration was Dave Ramsey (and you). Thank you for your wonderful advice and glorious, real living.
I'm holding you in my heart.
P.s.the one exception is my recumbent bike...which was a gift from my son.
Oh. And I'm debt free also!
I no longer buy stuff either doesn't excite me and sickens me of how much I owned before and realising I don't need it
The video is absolutely filled with gorgeous information and I can't wait to go on some free days out 😀
Totally agree -- live below your means - that's the key to future financial success. And I also agree - buying things does NOT make you happy in the long run - it'll last a few days tops (mostly the happiness disappears within the hour of purchase). It really is a sad state of affairs when people use things for happiness. I will admit - sometimes I did that - before pandemic - but that refocused me on what was TRULY important. I'm fortunate - I got to retire in 2021 (age 57 - I could have retired a year or so earlier - however, I just couldn't pull that trigger). Nothing beats the freedom! Wouldn't have been able to do it with a house at the top of a budget and a new car either purchased or leased every four years. VERY few could do that and retire early.
Great advice as always, PP. You're a very sensible lady. Thank you.
Very timely post! I read in the paper online that here in Ohio our electric (thru First Energy) is going up 100% soon so I'm prepared. I have unplugged everything and turned things off at the breaker box My electric is $90 less than my neighbor in the same size apartment. I've saved hundreds of dollars by listening to you and saving $ by cutting the cable, switching to a cheaper cell provider (Spectrum) and my bill for my cell is now $14 per month! I took your advice and switched my rental and car insurance to AAA at a big savings! In other words, doing the little things really add up!!!
Thanks for all your time and effort in posting! Truly is appreciated!!!
I am always happy to see a new video pop up from you.
I am not a super minimalist or crazy frugal, but we are the most frugal of anyone else we know. Luckily my husband and I are not spenders. My car is 11 years old (bought used with only 3K miles on it!) and still going strong. When I need to get a new car, I will buy used again. I rarely buy books and never videos, always from the library. I have to really like the book to buy it and I try to buy it used. No car payments and house to be paid off this year...YAY! We do like the movies but haven't gone but a few times in the last bunch of years. John Wick for $5 on cheap Tuesdays because sometimes you just gotta see it on the big screen! I am not, however, going to be so frugal that I have to jump through hoops to save a few bucks. Keep up the frugal good everyone! Thanks for your videos!
love these pep talks thank you PREPPER Princess
When you think of what is truly necessary if it didn't exist 100 years ago it probably isn't a true necessity. People lived thousands of years without items we think are essential. I am not saying that a person should limit themselves to the bare necessities, just be conscious that it is an add-on. When you look at what you do have instead of what you don't have it puts things in perspective.
Your dog is such a sweetheart to you. So adorable. 💕
I dont go anywhere either…or buy anything except the main things..food etc
I dont get board either…i entertain myself very well…and i dont need much now….and im very content!!!!
Good advice prepper princess!!!❤
Ditto!
A lot of libraries have free passes for museums if you are a library member. Sunrise Breakfast cookout on the beach.
This is a better option than a specified free day.
My clothes never go out of style especially living in Florida. It’s flip flops, T-shirts and Jean shorts🤣My free entertainment for me is volunteering at pet shelter walking mostly Cur 🐕 dogs in parks. Also enjoy going to all the springs around me which there is plenty to do. People can find things they just have to look and enjoy. Speaking of enjoying just loved your ideas 💡 ❤️
I know this video is old, but THANK YOU!!!!!! I just recently tried using the actually recommended portion of lauindry detergent and it worked out AMAZING. I never knew this and was using waaayyyy too much. Thanks for spreading awareness haha
There's two things I try to explain to my adult children. There are wants and needs. Needs are a home, food, car in our area, ect. Wants are new cars like your friends, new this new that. Do you really need that???????
I’ve got a money-saving tip for you Prepper Princess. When washing dishes, don’t soak them in water, instead, spray them with a spray bottle containing a solution of water and dish soap. Saves on water and soap.
Omg
I've lost EVERYTHING there's nothing left to lose anymore. I feel it will be a good thing
I would love for you to do a coffee video. You talk about being able to make all these different kind of coffees that sound great. Give us your recipes! Love all of your videos!
There are free movies on CZcams; and I check out online books from my library. Love your videos! I always learn so much from you.
Happen to come across your videos and after watching a few I subscribed. I watched a video where you were addressing negative comments. I am in no way trying to match your lifestyle and I think anyone that criticizes you for it is seriously misguided or just misses the point of your channel. I find your channel very useful. While I know I cannot be as frugal as you I do see the benefits to tailoring my lfiestyle to meet certain financial goals. I am implementing a lot of what you suggest! I have a plan! If nothing else, your videos have made me take a dep dive into my own lifestyle and see where I am bleeding financially . I think twice now before buying anything and definitely am thinking long term investment as opposed to short term gratification. I hope you keep up the videos and definitely keep on not caring what others think. Your life works for you for your goals and that's awesome.
Thank you! Very entertaining at 3 am! Love your videos! You and your animals! Manage finances happily! Add water to everything! Live my own way! My cat eats well! Aussie Lady
When you get health insurance, do a video about it, especially if it's the ACA. What are your tricks and tips?
When friends ask you on a boat, or over for dinner etc. how do you reciprocate? Assuming you do? Do you offer gas money, boating isn’t cheap. (I wouldn’t ask for money from anyone or expect it, but being asked is nice. Do you bring a nice dish to pass? I mean being frugal is good, being a good friend is priceless.
you are so my sort of person - i write a blog on going paycheck to paycheck and my advice is similar to yours - albeit i’m not a millionaire but i’m also not in debt
The US forces us to pay for everything, medical costs are 2-10 times the cost of anywhere else in the world. Rent, at least where I'm at, has gone up 50% over the last 2 years while wages have stagnated. America gives us less for more. Cutting costs isn't an option, but a must.
The iced latte, walk in the park sounds brilliant! Throw in a kindle for added me time and that sounds wonderful 😊
We were born on the exact same day so I totally understand your mindset. I’m not doing as well as you (yet) but I am working on it every day. Thank you for your video 😊.
I got invited to take a ride in a strangers van with blacked out windows once for free. Never again! 😮
I love this way of thinking. Wish I had this mindset at a younger age. Great video
try no cash to do laundry... i use sunlight soap and wash them in the tub.. hang them on my rack in the tub, when they are done dripping, I put the rack outside on my deck... wha la... clean clothes... fresh smelling clothes! sure does make u think about just throwing clothes in a pile to wash.. is it really dirty or does it just need freshing up?.. I hang from rails by open windows to freshen... alot of work but if no cash or car.. wash them at home. We spend way too much time and money on clothes/laundry 😊
Im a pail freak, sq n round......yeap pre soak n wask ect....I also use dark pails to heat summer showers....I hook 12v water/diesel pump(10 to 12$) to a 8ft air tube from hw store n old 12 car battery(smaller ok dont use any current. Bennies are if u use tap water it can sit first to de-chlorinate
Whaaaaaaa CALIFORNIA!!! This girl gets it, she is living my dream. This was a mainstream American attitude towards living life. Live within your means, stay free.
Buying THINGS don't make you happy, build Healthy relationships.
Aw, Rocky looks tired/weary; he's getting on in dog years, yes? He's a real sweetheart, as is Nala! Happy to see you back in California, and thriving! Thanks for sharing this continuing journey of yours, cheers, Francisca aka auntifranny
I still follow your advice on how to take a squirt bottle and make it 90% water and 10% Dawn. I am so happy with this method of making a cleaning product. Thank you.
Your dogs are adorable, that little one picked you to be his Mom for sure! What a sweetheart! Thanks for the info!
