A big thing that has worked for me is delaying my purchase of "want" items. I keep a list in my notes app on my phone of all the things i want, like a new book or backpack, and then wait a few days to weeks and revisit the list. Most of the time I end up taking things off it rather than going through with a purchase. It also makes me think critically about the items I do own and how they could work instead of purchasing something new. It's helped prevent me from spending a lot of unnecessary money. My approach is simplifying my finances by simply not spending unnecessary money!

Here in the Netherlands all banking is paperless. You actually have to pay if you want to receive it in the mail 😅 it's amazing! And better for the planet 👌🌿

I’ve attempted to go paperless. But—I find with digital statements I’m less likely to see them and look at their contents? And I’ve definitely missed errors on them this way. I’m sticking with paper statements for now, because of this. I almost feel like many places want you to switch to paperless just so they can slip in minute errors that add up to billions for them over time.

*"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now"* I consider this to be best motivational quote I've heard in a very long time. But motivational quotes are useless if you don't practice what you preach*

Gabe, I would like to give to help the refugees from Ukraine... but would like to be sure it will get to the people. Can you help with finding legitimate non-profit organizations where the money will be used for the people?

[pathtowellnesswithmiriam]

Good advice. I've been working on cutting down paper clutter. Is there a place where you can search for investment accounts that you may have lost track of?

[rachelschuester]
