A dog can be expensive. I’m pleased and applaud you for making the responsible decision to hold off until you are financially set. Pet emergencies and special meds for unforeseen diets have cost us THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of dollars for our 16 yr old girl. One day vet hospital stay was $1500. It all adds up.

hi there.
I'm you big enthusiast, being Polish and living in UK.
I love your channel, Saving money tips in particular. I don't have too much debt but trying to save up for house deposit.
I already stopped buying clothes as after early spring binge clothing shopping I found out I have plenty clothes to wear I just need to get out of my comfort zone(I'm overweight and my weight fluctuate a lot)and make the most of those I have.
Also my 6 years old son is asking for a dog- but I explained him that its expensive and we don't have space for it now.
Im trying to be mindful with every purchase but I love to splurge here and there- after all, I'm working hard for it, so why not.
My clothes are very basic, my skincare is basic, my makeup is very streamlined and I'm very proud of what I achieved over last few years on my journey to be more minimalist. I tried not to dye my hair, but I'm just not ready for this yet, and its totally fine-there will be time when I wont mind my ashy hair with greys in it. And when I feel lost and depressed and want to buy something, I think twice and watch your videos...keep posting videos Christina, many of us need them to keep on track. with love xxxx

It's amazing when you see the cost of pets outlined how much it can really add up.

Excited to see what fur baby you get once that sinking fund is fully stocked! :)

You have fast become one of my favorite people to watch. Your content is always so fresh and rarely repeats what's already out there. You dig deep, you get personal, and you call it out (talking to you Fantasy Self) Thx for these videos Christina. I'm here for it all. <3

I started up buying fresh flowers again because I found they are good therapy. I keep them on my desk and notice they help to reduce my stress.

I truly enjoy your videos and your sincerity. I identify with the "fantasy self" I think we all do. ❤️

I can really relate to so many of these! Sometimes I feel like the odd ball because I’m not spending money on my hair or nails and so many other things. It feels so good to hear what you have to say and I’m not alone in my thinking!❤️

Excellent video Christina!
I love how “sensible” you are but yet still so fun and relatable. I really appreciate your content.👏

So with you about flowers (and I love the plants in the background)! ❤️ Instead of purchasing a bunch of flowers, I ended up getting dried ones that are elegant and last for years

Platinum blonde maintenance is just crazy expensive- it’s one of the biggest “wedding” expenses I had that for my wedding that should have been in 2020 but Covid cancelled it and it’s not until 2022 now… I’m now stuck with do I just move back to my natural colour knowing I won’t get it back to platinum for the wedding but knowing I will save a ton of is that just a waste of the last three years work…

Thank you for sharing, as always, Christina! Your pup was so beautiful!❤ Excellent choice to put funds aside for your future furbaby since many people don't realize how expensive medical bills, etc are.

I try to buy organic meat whenever possible, it really does make a difference on the taste and for me it’s worth the cost. I’d rather eat smaller amounts of organic meat than large quantities of non organic

Hi Christina. Just dropping in to say how much I love your wording in how you put things into perspective. I really relate to a lot of it, not just in this video. Thanks for your honesty.

About to finish my MSc in plant agriculture here, and yes I prioritize organic and local produce but it is an absolute privilege. Our food in Ontario, is so expensive bc we dont prioritize plant ag here nor do we subsidize farmers the way americans and europeans do. so we import everything when we shouldn't have to, especially since we have such a diverse soil profile ( tell me where else in the world you can grow grapes, peaches, winter wheat & beans!) its frustrating, especially since excessive pesticide use is so harmful to our health and environmental health. Don't feel bad about it, its more of a voting issue rather than a "vote with ur $" thing imho.

So proud of you 👏🏼 we started our no spend year together. I have a big savings now, debt free and thinking of going more minimalist clothing wise. I realized the colors I wear are ivory and black. Therefore, I just put a bag together today for goodwill and am going to try to stick to those colors see how it works for me. Not really having to put much thought into what you wear is ideal so we shall see. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙋🏻‍♀️

Working on my minimalism and intentional loving journey and you have helped me so much! I am not one for manicures anymore, pedicures I do every so often due to some ingrown toenails but not regularly.

I love these conversations they’re so so important. Thank you.
