Awesome tips! I love your tip about making your home your sanctuary!

I’m 40 now but when I was 30 I realized no one is coming to save me!! I had $60 in the bank and zero savings and I was scared to death about my future. That’s when I became frugal and minimal and set up a weekly automatic savings plan. I started with $5 a week. That’s all I could commit to but the key was consistency. Once I had a few hundred dollars it was addicting and felt so good to know I took control of my life. Every few months after I got used to it I increased the amount. Sometimes by just a couple of dollars. I live with my boyfriend now and I’m in a much better situation but I will never let myself go back to that scary place. I just wish I started when I was 20.

You and I are on the same frequency. I have always said, "I want my home to be the place I most want to be when I'm on vacation."

Gratitude is a wonderful practice. We are so blessed in America, even if we are "poor." We are incredibly rich compared to most of the world. We have clean drinking water, fresh food, clothing, bed and a roof over our heads. We are blessed.

Wish I could go back in time to save for retirement. I relied on my ex instead of myself. Big mistake.

Great video! I also check my bank accounts daily. My husband thinks I'm nuts. Glad to hear I am not the only one who does this.

No is tricky for some reason. My family has no issues saying no to me but if I say No then the world is ending. I love it when Im told Im no fun. My family members could use less "Fun".

"I like looking at it and watching it grow." LOL Love

Money Mom suggested that I check out your videos. Awesome suggestions. I am 56 and did finally start a retirement fund 5 years ago. I SO wish that I'd started when I was in my early 20's. Stupid mistake!!! I subscribed. And am going to watch all of your videos over the next couple of days. Love, from Oklahoma. 💖

Don't pay full price for anything if you can help it.

Thank you so much Kate. Your tips are spot on. I've never heard of vipon. Another frugal tip is to love your job. Whatever your job is if you make the best of it and be grateful, you won't have to pay a therapist bc you hate it or you hate a coworker. And keep your house clean. A clean house makes it easier to stay on track. I love the frugal community too.

Save first! It made my finances so much better and more fun, and it gave me a calm mind such a relief👍

I use Zote soap for bath soap and laundry soap. $1 baby! Lol! the pink bar, in the laundry soap aisle.

I love staying home. I could never go on another vacation and feel just fine. My problem is my wonderful husband. He LOVES to go on vacations. One tip I NEVER see is UTILIZE YOUR STATE PARKS!!! There is usually a nominal fee to get in and you have access to all kinds of trails, swimming pools and a multitude of other activities that can be available such as fishing (no license is usually required), paddle boats, free guided birding and nature walks, biking....just a multitude of things for a small fee or free. It is just a good alternative to an area where expensive things are available. Fortunately the Hubby loves to do that.

I've had to learn to say "no" to donations to my family. I know that seems backwards, but if my family isn't going to use it, then I don't need it. I had to stop feeling guilty about that because I felt, for the longest time, that in order to show gratefulness I had to accept whatever it was. To be honest, many times the offer was for things that people typically think low income families need (food, clothes), but I had all those things. Then I realized that it's okay to say "no" and that the stuff will go to someone who actually needs it.

Don't forget to treat yourself as you meet your financial goal. Treat yourself about every quarter.

Love your tips, in 2 years I plan to live in a high top van, ( my kids grown, I'm 59) so I'm saving and practicing living small so I can travel and follow the weather.

I am well into my retirement years and pretty much lived by your 20 tips my whole life. You may want to add to your list to start investing those retirement dollars. Some may be overwhelmed with that but it is easy if you are saving through a 401k. YouTube has videos on that too. And yes, sometimes the market drops, but think of it as long term. The easy way to invest is with index mutual funds, start small and just keep adding to it. Grammy has spoken!

I like the idea of making savings a priority. The best way to save is to automate your savings. Then you don't have to think about it.. Another great way to save is the one dollar savings challenge. Save all your one dollar bills. It adds up over time!
