I would like to add: mattress and pillows. Maybe if this video was sponsored by a mattress company it would've made the list, but man I've bought so many cheap mattresses and always regret not getting a better one.

[@DisneyDahling]

Little tip from a woman who loves overseas travelling: You cannot go on the same trips as ones in your 20s when you're in your 30s and so on. Your body can tolerate tougher schedules when you are younger, and the trips will end up being cheaper and you'll get to have more experiences in the same amount of time the earlier you go. Hope you have fun in Europe!

[@thefinancialfreedomgirl]

thank you!! that's a great reminder - it's easy to think we'll always feel the exact way we feel now, but travel can easily feel more exhausting as we get older. thanks for your comment!

[@elin_]

As someone who missed so much in my 20s and now is in my 30s; I do not like the sound of what you just said.. because it sounds like time is running out for me 😢

[@DisneyDahling]

@@elin_ You can still go on nice trips when you're older! You just won't be able to manage everything in a really tight schedule is all. I learned it the hard way...and I try to plan my trips to be more chill now.

[@elin_]

@@DisneyDahling I can't afford any trips anyway 😔

[@BB-bx4dp]

I'm glad I wasn't financially irresponsible about traveling in my 20s. Plus, memories fade quickly. If I blew tons of money on a trip in my 20s, I'd be in debt now over a few weeks of fun I had over a decade ago.

[@TheWeekendYogurt]

A lot of frugal KZbin finance people say skip the gym but I feel like it’s the best money I spend each month. I go everyday even if I don’t workout to steam/sauna which greatly clears my mind.

[@78town]

Agreed. I work at a skilled rehab facility. I can’t tell you how many people I work with worked all their youth away, retired a millionaire, and never got to travel because they had a stroke etc

[@thefinancialfreedomgirl]

oh wow! definitely a good warning to try and maintain a balance rather than just tuck money away with no purpose

[@PB-jo9vq]

I really do not recommend BetterHelp. They sponsor a lot of creators so they’re super well known, but please do your research on them before signing up for anything. They’re super accessible which is nice, but the draw back is a lot of their therapists are not great and they have charged people without their permission a lot in the past on top of this. Just wanted to leave this here for anyone considering them, just please research a bit first so you can make the right decision for you :)

[@EmmaneTheCreated]

Yea I've never tried them myself but the majority of feedbacks I've seen are negative. Anyway I side-eye every company which seem to be on massive sponsor campaigns.

[@TheWeekendYogurt]

I’ve heard they treat their employees very poorly. I also think that for acute serious exacerbation of mental illness it is not a substitute for in person assessment by a skilled clinician.

[@lisahines532]

I have heard that it is pretty terrible to their therapists, which in turn will probably cause a lot of turnover and you'll end up getting new therapists who are not experienced.

[@Jose04537]

They also sell your data to Facebook.

Its interesting growing older I realize you have to balance saving and having financial goals with the realities of life. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and people who just save without ever using it for life experiences realize too late

[@thefinancialfreedomgirl]

100%! I have to fight the urge to be like this, because I love tucking my money away for a rainy day - which is good until it means you're tucking away money you'll never even use. definitely tricky to figure out the balance

[@hanisscosplay]

What I am happy to spend money on is mostly good quality food. And I’m not saying dining in a restaurant every day, but spending some more time in the kitchen (which I love actually) and buying just better quality ingredients than a student can afford. You really can do that with a little effort but I’d rather spend this money on food than on healthcare in 20 years

[@120kilobytes-sd6lp]

I once was too cheap to spend lots of money on fitness. Then I started to track my expenses, saw how much money i actually still had left at the end of the month and realized that 40 bucks to go swimming each month is money well spent. Honestly, if you have trouble spending money, tracking your expenses really can help to alleviate some of the stress and make you realize that it's ok to spend money on activities you really want to do.

[@alwayspooh1588]

Cara, I like your videos and agree with a lot of what you say. However, for me you missed two crucial things to spend money on: 1. food - not cheap, processed crap, but good quality and nutritious food. 2. things that bring you happiness whatever they may be, as long as they are not damaging to your health. Aside from that, good video.

[@thefinancialfreedomgirl]

ooh the food thing is something I'm starting to invest a bit more money into! I'm finally moving on from my constant lean cuisine meal days hahaha thanks for watching :)

[@alwayspooh1588]

@@thefinancialfreedomgirl Good to hear it! Good nutrition starts with good quality food, an assessment of your biome, an evaluation of your dietary needs, and pleasure in good food!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I too thought you’d mention higher quality food. Taking care of your health, whether through food, exercise, dental health, skin care (SPF), not smoking, all contribute to making your “golden years” worth living. Not only will you feel better, you’re not going to spend your hard-earned money healing. Take it from someone in their late 60s.

For me the idea of a memory bank makes experiences a commodity to collect. I don’t think we can fully live if we are always focused on collecting and saving “things” (even if they are memories). I would prefer to find some balance between spending conciously and living in a wider sense. I guess its in our culture to try to grasp anything we have (money, memories, moments…)

[@trutzblankerhans]

Found your channel this week and I love it! I'm about to get 25 and start a job and your videos tell me things I already believe in, which is nice to hear from someone else in this well-worded way. Also loved seeing you go from 85k to 86k in just a few days. You go

Money buys comfort, so everything. Clothes, house, shampoo, traveling, education, perfume, and etc. Also, traveling until you feel the world is small.

[@k.k4231kk]

Good to see fitness on the list!! Health is wealth, as they say. I think actually gym membership fees have a weird effect of motivating you to exercise more than you would otherwise bc of the financial pressure (guilt?), so it’s a good investment in an of itself. Nice video 😊

[@thefinancialfreedomgirl]

right?! there are definitely days where I'm like "I need to go to the gym to get my money's worth" thanks for watching!

[@sam1016kim]

I like the point about not having a perfect formula for the memory bank but still considering it. I think that just beginning to think about it is a step in a right direction in being able to figure out what that balance is for an individual. Love the thought provoking videos

I love your third and fourth points the best. I’m frugal, but don’t hesitate to spend money on experiences, like concerts. No, not all are worth it, but you learn. I also prefer to support smaller local venues. There are several charities I donate to monthly, because I’ve done my research, and I know what’s important to me. 1. charity: water (I love their 100% donations concept: admin is covered by a separate group of investors, so 100% of your money goes to bring clean water to those who desperately need it); 2. Mercy Ships 3. Cambodian Children’s Fund 4. International Rescue Committee (started by Albert Einstein) 5. Amnesty International. I also donate to progressive political candidates, again, after I’ve done my research.

[@zaritiez8851]

I like how Temu is advertising under your video lmao, these companies bro.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

She has no control over who advertises before/during/after videos. That’s why you’ll sometimes see ads for meat while watching vegan channels.

[@Moon-lt5bi]

I agree with this list except for travel. Unpopular opinion, I know. It’s just so overpriced. I would rather have things I love and use everyday and take a trip somewhere close to recharge. See me carry a nice leather bag to Vons instead of sipping overpriced espresso in a Venice cafe. I do take the occasional trip somewhere far. But It feels like travel in America has become an obsession in some crowds, and we are expected to go somewhere interesting in order to be viewed as cultured and enlightened. There’s a snobbery to travel. My two cents.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

I would suggest travel to a place YOU want to see/explore, not what’s cool or trendy. If you like coastal towns, go a bit off-season, stay at a quaint b&b or motel, enjoy the sights and the local foods. Ask the locals for food recommendations. Go to a museum that really interests you (like Boston Science Museum, or Clark Museum), and ask about local eateries for meals.

[@Waldemarvonanhalt]

Similar to my comment about shoes: If you want jeans made from quality denim (and with good pockets) by people earning decent wages, check out Varusteleka TST, 5.11, Vertex, Benzak, Naked&Famous, Momotaro etc. A good few retailers offering a bunch of them and more would be Selfedge, Blue Owl and Tate&Yoko.

You have to try freediving one day! It's like going on a hike only underwater and it's so peaceful being underwater where you have to constantly stay calm otherwise you'll run out of air faster. It really humbles you while showing you a world so many never ever get to see! Just don't ever go spearfishing when Great Whites are around 😂

[@thefinancialfreedomgirl]

I keep seeing videos of freediving and it looks so neat! maybe one day I'll build up the courage and lung capacity to try it hahaha

[@shahzebnasir4692]

@@thefinancialfreedomgirl Hahaha the courage comes only from being in the moment because we only feel sorrow and hurt when we think about the past and we only feel worry when we think about the future. Free diving has this funny way of forcing you to focus on every moment like it's your last because if you look up for the surface when rising you'll run out of air and if you only think about the depth you want to get to, you'll begin panicking the moment the light fades as you get deeper. You have to stay calm and focused in the moment! Also you have to dive with orcas and humpback whales in Norway when you're still young! You won't be able to handle the freezing cold water when you're older. It's actually a great reminder that yes while it's important to be set for the future (financially too) the only thing that is given is the present moment now!

I do NOT recommend BetterHelp. These people are social workers parading as therapists. They do not always keep their appointments with their clients. And it’s a hassle to cancel.

[@shinyanovikov2502]

I am quite the opposite. I refuse spending money on transportation and go to some the craziest lengths to save money on transportation. The fact that I don't drive because I take the bus not only saves me money but I can take advantage of waiting. Like I even carry a neck pillow to work to sleep on the bus. However I like spending money on food. One thing that I like in particular is bubble tea. When my favorite Canadian credit card arrived I drank 8 cups of bubble tea that day.

[@sanatanand2834]

You seem like a pretty reasonable and frugal person. So a genuine question: Why is therapy becoming so prevalent in our culture? Why not have the same conversation you have with the therapist instead with friends, family or spouse? Isn't that just better on the wallet (I don't mean to disparage therapy just trying to genuinely understand)

As soon as therapy made the list, I knew a Better Help sponsor was coming up. 😒

[@nette9836]

I've rarely found structured therapy helpful so I no longer invest in it. For me, prayer, nature, fitness, and plenty of socializing has been transformative.

Fitness and therapy are two things I actually don't invest in lol. Fitness because you can create a full routine without spending a dime as you said and therapy because somewhere down the line I start lying to them anyway hindering chances of progress. I like to spend money on: - skincare: Genetically my skin has always been struggling. Seeing your skin improving and looking good like it never has, bringing your confidence up, has no cost to me. - Travelling: There is nothing in this world like travelling imo. I am thankful that I have the privilege to do it, collecting experiences and memories.

[@thefinancialfreedomgirl]

these are great! skincare made such a difference for me once I finally invested in going to a dermatologist, and traveling is also something I like to put money into as part of my 'memory bank' where's your favorite place you've traveled? :)
