Other YouTubers: I want to be rich so I can travel the world and buy expensive things
Lana: I want to be rich so I can buy a farm and host weekly parties for old people
How can we not love you 😭

“I want the local elderly people to come over for coffee and food once a week to play games and share stories” I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

Time is your most important resource. The biggest problem with spending money, is that it costs time to spend it.

[AshleyLoraAnderson]

Yes! Mindset is EVERYTHING! Ofc some people are born rich, but you can't control that, the only thing you can control is yourself!!

"Call it manifestation, call it a vision board, I just call it planning." Somehow that struck me as savage and I laughed out loud.

The best way to save money is to buy only the things we absolutely need.

First thing first: believe that you can improve your financial situation

It is so sad to me that we don’t teach finance in school. It’s one of the most important skills we need to have in life.

I remember someone told me that "it is not your fault that you are born poor, it's your fault if you die poor". a great mindset and self-control or discipline is the key if you want to make your life better. life really taught me the hard way.

It doesn't matter how much you make per/year. Changing your Mindset is the Key to Save Money. If you can't understand that you'll never be free.

Pro tip: Keep a record of all your expenses - even the small ones. I guarantee you will see worrying patterns over a month or so. You may see things $150 on starbucks and $250 on uber. These things pile up A LOT and end up being thousands every year. Use an excel spreadsheet or something.

*My tips:*
*1.* you should take a step back/ zoom out and look at the world objectively.
Look at what people on your social media and people around you are buying and think about it.
Is it really necesary for you or you just want it because everyone else has it?
*2.* invest rather than to buy.
Purchase something at a reasonable price that will last and be of good use.
That way you invest but don't let the prices fool you.
Sometimes even though something is expensive it might not be of high quality.
Look for something with a high value not high price.
*3.* look at what effect something has on the nature and on you.
*4.* ask yourself if you need that thing or you just want it.
(If you reaalllyy want something try to find it at a lower price)

If I think of more I'll wrote them down

Pro tip: every time you decide not to buy overpriced coffee or not to take uber etc. just transfer this amount of money to your saving account!

Money is just as much of a tool as any other. It's neither bad nor good. The way you use it and the way you choose to acquire it define you in my opinion. If I want to get to know someone fast I just find out what they spend their money on and to what extent they would go to make money. It's that simple.

This little trick might help: when I wanted to quit facebook, I deleted the apps on phone and only log in on computer, even so I only log in in private mode, the browser won't save cookies so I had to type in password everytime, it gets kinda annoying and I just stopped logging in as frequent. Same principle applies to money: make payment process harder, if you want to buy something on amazon? type your card number everytime you make a purchase, you will think twice before you actually make the purchase because you hesitate when you type in card number, and you will buy less and save more down the path.

I'm saving up for when I go to university I'm only 14 and I started saving in January I've saved just over 300 pounds and I think for someone who doesn't have a job that's pretty good! (ik University is very expensive but I want to pay some of the chunk x)

Since childhood, one of the best things my mother taught and encouraged us is to save money. Later I came across so many people who faced frustrations just because not spending money in a correct way rather investing extravagantly. Watching your video is helping me understand how I can inspire them effectively to save money. Thank you Lana. You are not only influencing me, but also influencing those persons whom I am going to share the thoughts you expressed.

A trick I used to do, automatically takes 10% of my income and put it into a savings account before I spend it on anything. It was called paying yourself first. That worked well. The book "The Richest Man in Babylon" is all about that. What has read that book?
