30 Extreme Frugal Living Tips (THIS can save you thousands)

#savemoney #frugalliving #moneysavingtips 30 Extreme (but practical) frugal living tips, to save you thousands of dollars. Save money fast with frugal living. Minimalist money saving ideas.

How I use minimalism and frugal living to save money and live better. In February 2011, I started on YouTube as a beauty channel, I began collecting all kinds of beauty products, makeup, skincare, clothes and home decor for creating content. Until one day in 2012, when the desire to become more "minimalist" entered my mind and I chose to reconnect with my roots, of simple living.

All are great except for being childless. This is a preference and being a mom is a tremendous blessing for me. ❤

Yes! Please do a separate video on the art of negotiation! That would be so helpful and appreciated. I feel so many people (myself especially) have a hard time negotiating for things from second hand purchases to our own salaries! If you shared your tips you would be helping so many people. ✌️

I feel the same way as you about weddings. We got married by a Judge 40 years ago with no attendees, and I have never regretted it.

I wouldn’t give up having kids for all the savings and freedom in the world, but to each his own! I’m a grandma now and it’s the best!! Great video with some great ideas!! Thanks 😊

Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

I switched to a dumb phone about 2 years ago, which brought my monthly bill from $90/month to $6/month. I don’t feel out of the loop on anything, I’m less stressed and anxious, and I’m saving a ton as a side effect. Love this video!

White vinegar in the laundry softens water making your detergent clean better.

I bought an RV to live in and I rent a space in the redwood forest. No mortgage!

I used to pay with cash. Now, I use my credit card only if I have cash to pay. I get $$$ back and make sure it's paid off at the end of the month. I don't buy extra using a card because I only buy with intention. I'm also a minimalist, and I'm not materialistic. Stuff is clutter to me.

No TV in 15 years. Best decision ever.

I might come out as antisocial. I cut down a number of friends in my life, and that help me save a lot of money from comparing lifestyle, entertaining, socializing and eating out together.

Did the first thing on our list and went from $163 a month to free phones! Great advice thank you that's $1956 savings

You speak my language. We do well, but living below our means keeps us financially secure & ready for the unexpected. Too many people are stressed out trying to keep up.

Being child free is definitely underrated. There are thousands of children in our world that need parents so, if you change your mind and want children you can always mentor, foster, and adopt children ❤️

Great tips, and I follow most of them. I’ve also quit using paper towels - I just use old towels or washcloths (or cut up and hem fabric from a thrift store) to make napkins, spill clothes, hot pads). I buy in bulk from an organic co-op and make as many things as possible from scratch. I’m 70 and my fiancé is 82, and we are both gardeners and into self-sustainable living and eating well. Because of our lifestyle choices, he still works part time and takes care of the big garden, and I will be a homemaker and take care of the kitchen garden.

My guess is that people who choose not to have kids have deeper reasons than frugality - some deep gut feeling that it's not right for them. I respect that choice and thank goodness we have the choice.

I agree with much of this, but celebrating the holidays doesn't have to cost a lot.

[factitiously]

I wash my laundry in cold water too, but it's important to remember that sheets must always be washed in hot water, because otherwise the dust mites don't get killed and they build up over time and cause allergies.

You can celebrate Christmas without buying a bunch of stuff just to buy stuff, but you can also make it very simple by drawing names (each person buys one thing for someone in particular). We have also spent money (in lieu of gifts) to attend as a family an event like a concert, ice skating or a museum. We have also volunteered during the Xmas season to work at a food kitchen or donation shop.

Along with the shampoo advice, I keep a plastic cup in the shower and add just a little bit of shampoo to it, then fill up the cup, cover it with my hand and shake it. I dunk my hair in and then pour the rest over my head. It saves shampoo but distributes the shampoo so much better. It also reduces buildup because it’s easier to rinse. I highly recommend!
