    Nicholas I really enjoy your work. I have been self employed as a professional pet sitter for almost 23 years. I understand wholeheartedly about debt, use of credit cards and the benefit that it brings. I am 65 years old and feel like I have developed a minimalist attitude that becomes more refined with age. I am proud for your success as your content has helped me. Keep up the great work. Sharon in Houston

    What I’ve done that helps reduce electricity cost is unplugging appliances or whatever that’s in use often. It’s not a big saver but gotta save wherever we can.

    My Mom raised me with a "avoid debt like the plaque"-mindset. 😂
    So therefore i had not a single debt (beside necessary monthly payments for car-insurance etc.) in my life and i am greatfull for that.
    Love your videos❤

    Another great tool for saving money is credit cards, I always put all my expenses on my credit card .
    If you pick one that has a cash back when you spend, its amazing how much you can make by year end.
    Of course it needs to be back to zero every month.
    Great video as always Nicholas💥

    I'm surprised you didn't mention paying for car insurance by the year instead of by the month. My car insurance company charges significantly less if you pay a year at a time, and you can put the money you would have used for a monthly payment straight into savings, ready for next year.

    I love this channel! However I will say that in the past I have aggressively paid off debt at the cost of being able to afford groceries - so don't do that. Debt, something as simple as a pay in 4 for the hair dressers, makes me extremely uncomfortable. I've had family members tell me that I *must* wait until the due date instead of paying it off asap (all for the sake of my wellbeing). So while I'm all for getting debt paid as soon as possible, just remember to correctly budget your day to day around repayments so you don't go skipping meals.

    • @oliverb7198
      @oliverb7198 Před 6 měsíci +1

      And another general tip for saving money - if you do HAVE to buy something, try and look at any and all second hand options, thrift stores, pawn shops, ect to find something cheaper than a new out of the box item.

    Nicholas, greetings from Brazil, yes nowadays your videos really given me a ton of value, I've been checking your videos since I think mid 2021 because of my interests on CZcams and you have been recommended to me since then. Sorry to say that but It's a compliment, back in the day I felt tired of the repetition on your videos and how much inserts footage you use again and again, for sometime I even avoided your videos because I was something so slow. But now, for real, your editing style have gotten so nice and smooth and faster to be digested, after the video you talked about your iPad mini and how you use it to make animations I remember I felt a sense of joy every time you drop a new video. Thanks for that evolution through the years, sorry to say your editing style was too slow but for real nowadays the timing is getting perfect (I'm a video editor freelancer myself, and learning too). Someday you should do a video about your animations made on your iPad mini and how you do it, using a screen recorded footage maybe, you don't have to take my advice too serious, just do it If you feel like doing it. Have a nice weekend, sincere congratulations about your evolution since back in 2021.

I always wondered If you use a 64GB iPad Mini or the 256gb one, since 2021 I think about getting one just for simple graphic design like you make use of yours, you think the 64gb mode is enough or no?

    Unrelated, but.. Have you read "The Power of Letting Go: How to Drop Everything That’s Holding You Back" by: John Purkiss ?
    Bit of context: I was reading "Essentialism" around the time you've released that video and it stuck with me, so whenever I come across a book, I wonder if you've read it.
