    In my home we save for lavish vacations. To each their own. Some prefer possessions others prefer experiences. Some fortunate soul have both.

    YES! I bought my first Louis Vuitton by selling clothes and bags I never used on facebook! took literally two days.

    Cutting off coffees and eating out will make you save so much money! Such a good tip

    • @MamiOf3kids
      @MamiOf3kids Před 2 lety

      I won't stop buying café but I cook from scratch at least 6days a week.

  • @truthseeker7564

    I stopped buying coffee two years ago. I invested in an expensive mug that keeps my drinks hot for up to 8 hours. The mug paid for itself in two weeks. I drink plain anyway but it helps save some cash. Another way I have saved a lot of money is doing my own nails. It has saved me so much money and everyone is always shocked when they ask who I go to and i say, me! I have two kids and work but I keep with it once a week. Then a color change every five days. It's become a therapeutic ritual and the best part is when I have my nail day, the kids and hubby help out and do things for me so I don't ruin my nails, it is a mini pamper day. Another way I saved is cleaning my house. I have someone come out once every four months for a deep clean but do it all my self. Plus it's great exercise. My motto is I'm young now and can do it myself, I'm not paying someone else to do it. When I get older and unable to do these things then I'll pay for the service.

    • @SheaWhitney
      @SheaWhitney  Před 7 lety +2

      These are really great tips!!! What kind of mug do you use?? I really want to invest in a good one because ALL of mine are terrible! Thanks so much!! :)

    Shea, so glad I watched this video, it has really changed my perspective of you. You are a smart shopper and I admire that quality. I practice the one month rule. Matter of fact the first LV I purchased I waited years before buying and I bought pre-loved then I used it for years. I want to build my collection for my grand daughter.

  • @picksoverpeas
    @picksoverpeas Před 7 lety +6

    Great advice Shea! I follow similar guidelines. Last year I saved 10% on a LV Speedy by purchasing it with my Discover IT card that was offering 10% cash back on department store purchases in the fall. I purchased it through Neiman Marcus at their LV boutique. I have also had some great pre-loved purchases. And, I LOVE Ebates. My husband couldn't believe it when I got an $85 check in the mail a few months ago, and that was in addition to the cash back I got on my credit card :-)

    Great video. I watched Lydia's video as well and I agree with both of you, as long as you take care of your finances and prioritize your expenses, luxury items can be splurged on. I use similar strategies to finance my makeup collection and luxury items. Thanks for the tips and keep up the good job with your channel. XOXO

    • @SheaWhitney

  • @vickenator
    @vickenator Před 6 lety +6

    I think this is one of the best 'lifestyle' vlogs I've ever watched; it's so easy to be snarky about videos of someone buying $1000+ luxury bags seemingly all the time (which of course is never the case, but snap judgments are easy on CZcams). However, you really illustrate the intelligent way to approach this hobby, and one thing others should keep in mind is that everyone has their own personal luxury items they choose to invest in, whether they're handbags or cars or education or makeup or computer stuff or whatever "makes your heart sing" as you said. Be careful, be mindful, be smart about it, and be happy. Thanks for sharing your tips.

  • @princessavienz
    @princessavienz Před 5 lety +3

    I think you forgot the basics.
    How to actually be able to afford luxury items:
    - work hard, save up, be smart with your money so you can save up to buy them yourself
    - marry someone with money who can buy em for you
    (Either way works for many people, so no shades are thrown here.)
    I think the thumbnail title is misleading. Also, you should give a disclaimer in the beginning that these are more tips on saving up when one already has the money to buy them. and I think this video is more directed toward collectors or people who buy luxury items a lot and tips to save up, rather than tips to be able to afford them in the first place.

    • @victoria.sandrinha
      @victoria.sandrinha Před 5 lety

      princessavienz that’s true because for the things she buys like every month, you need a high income to begin with. For normal incomes these tips don’t apply much because you’ll need at least one year for one bag anyway.

  • @jenb1910
    @jenb1910 Před 5 lety +3

  • @janettezcan4694
    @janettezcan4694 Před 7 lety +9

    I agree with the credit card and coffee. That really adds up.

  • @blondesided3498
    @blondesided3498 Před 7 lety +3

    The only time I don't pay my credit card off in full is when I get 12 months or more no interest. If I can use someone else's money for a year or two, why not? I've done that with large purchases like furniture or appliances. The key is to divide the balance by the number of months and either pay that amount if required or put it in a designated savings account. I love using Mint. It really shows you where you are spending. I noticed a lot of money was going to groceries and I started shopping smarter- never go to the store on an empty stomach 😂

  • @Luv_Travelz
    @Luv_Travelz Před 6 lety

    Another great video Shea! I think the same way you do as far as 'balancing' my budget. It's always tempting to buy luxury items, but it does make sense to give yourself time to save $$ as well as think about the big purchase, cause sometimes what I thought I was obsessed about, eventually I got over it.

  • @tiffanythornton1937

    @MissCrystal Před 7 lety +61

    Hey Shea! I totally agree about the credit card. We use one mainly for everything and always pay it off at the end of the month. Not only is it more secure than a debit card, why not get back free money that you were going to spend anyway?! I do use Ebates but I need to be better about remembering them for the larger department stores. xo

  • @jesssmvlz

    You never cease to entertain. You are too funny! 'Thanks a Mil' for all the great tips.
    Just 1 suggestion: If you ever decide in the future to do a luxury pruchase follow-up video please do one on the luxury consignment industry ....another great way to be able to 'afford' those luxury items that you want. The Real Real, The Luxury Resale Network, and Saks Off 5th are just the ones I know. In addition I have heard of the site, Retail Me Not foe % codes (??). Anyway hope this helps.
