2 years ago i saw one of your videos where you said your goal was to pay off your house by 2024. I said wow, i wish i could do that too but i was at least 5 years away from payoff. Well, because of that 1 video, i said if this lady can do it , i will try my best. I am happy to report, 2 weeks ago i paid off my mortgage 3 years ahead of schedule. Thank you so much for the motivation and strength i got from your video❤

I started intermittent fasting, slowly working up to one meal per day, only drinking green tea, electrolytes, and water, no snacks between meals. I have reached the “one meal a day” goal, and have slowly lost 30 pounds!! Some of the “diet” is based on the Keto diet plan, but I don’t necessarily follow it. My goal is to eat what keeps my liver healthy. This is one “sure-fire” way to reduce the cost of groceries these days!!! Plus, I feel SO much better and healthier.

Life has changed so much. I never shop in stores except for groceries. I shop every two weeks or so. We replenish bread or dairy if needed. I do shopping for gifts online. The older we get the less we need. Now that we have a good stock of freezer and pantry it is easier to just supplement when you rotate your preps. I love KZbin because I choose the content I enjoy.

I have a cooking tip. Buy a bag of cheap egg noodles. Anytime you cook using something like Hamburger Helper, add vegetables to it and a big handful of those noodles.

We are saving so much money since turning down our heating system. It’s summer here in the UK & we turned it down in Spring.

Even on nice days, Everytime I left the back door open, it would turn on the heating 🤷🏻♀️ I’m worried about winter but right now, we’re doing well x

Hi Jennifer. I like your tips how to live more frugal. I try to live a more frugal way for y few years now. Not because i couldnt affor't more, but because i dont need to buy more to be happy. As you said in the video some tips will work for someone and others won't. Its all about our life style . You can always adjust the tips that doesn't work for you. Here are my "adjusted" tips that work for me. 1. No online suscriptions. I dont really need to watch those shows I rather pay a suscription to the publick library. I rather read books then whatching TV shows. You can learn a lot more by reading books. 2. Track your spendings for groceries (seperatly for fruits, vegetables and sweets and snacks) which you don't really need. You will be suprised how expensive sweets and snacks are. The first month after i followed my groceries expenses seperatly i noticed that i spent more for sweets then fruits. And that is not good for me so I adjusted my spending after that. 3. If you live in the flat you could grow your own tomatoes, salad or stawberries in vertical flower bads (vertical gardens) on your balcony. That vegetables will be a lot healthier then the one you buy in the market because there is no spraying with insecticides. 4. When you need to buy something just to supstitude your emontional needs rather visit a friend or go for a long walk to the nature. I guess you will get a better effect. I do that. 5. When your phone or tv doesn't work anymore maybe you should buy a "new" one on the platform for a second hend things.Usually works as good as a new one for a half the price of the new.

My goal is to have my condo paid off in one year. I’m currently working as a travel rad tech so I make double of what I would as a staff tech. I’m trying to pick up the contracts that are higher paying even if it sounds miserable. I pack my lunch every day. I cook my dinner every night and the only time I really eat out is when I get my acai bowls that I love on weekends. However , I learned how to make my own acai bowls ! I stopped online shopping. I just don’t look. I did buy a few things for fall ( boots , hoodies , comforter etc ) but I told myself I have enogh winter clothes , gloves and hats etc so I don’t need anything else for winter or fall. I stopped going to movies. I rarely go. I dropped cable. I only have HuLu. I keep the goal of paying off my mortgage in front of my face so every time I think I want that shirt I think back to my goal !! I also have a grocery budget and try my best to not go over it. If I do I look at what’s in my cart and I take a few things away . I will say this …. I do have two things I do splurge on. Hair care and coffee. I’m planning on opening a coffee shop. That is my one thing I HAVE to have lol. I do think cooking at home more , packing yoiur lunch every day , and have only one streaming platform has helped me to save so much money. Also , I do try my best to pay more toward my principal on my mortgage every month. The only times I don’t is if some emergency comes up like my health or my pets health or cat issues or something expensive in my home repairs.

23: I do that online shopping ALL THE TIME :) and then not actually buy anything.. I also notice (when doing this in the same store) when there´s an item I "shop" again and again, then I know that this would be something I would use and might just buy that one item. This online shopping works (at least for me) when I`m buying stocks and investing, I really feel like I`m buying something! And at the same time doing good with my money.

Take a tea bag with you. When ordering ask for hot water. This can work for any hot drink.

Learn to make candy I had four children I had to make candy for them because they always wanted candy. It’s easy to make you can make a whole pan of fudge for less than five dollars. Also you can make Reese’s peanut butter cups a whole 9 x 13 pan simple
