It starts to become addictive once you see your savings grow, you start to feel more defensive of your savings when it comes to purchasing decisions.

[@GabeBult]

100%!

[@jasonparham8926]

Yep!

[@Sir_Ken179]

Yeah this is something I noticed once I started using money more wisely. I used to spend every dime I had and would impulse like crazy and now I find it so hard to let go of money even if its something I need.

[@TheFittnixx]

I never believed this until my savings grew and grew, then I began to see big purchases as "how long will it take to replace this?" And helped immensely. Realising the $200 sheet set would take an extra week to replace to get back to where I am now... I didn't need them now and will wait as current sheets are fine.

Something I always remember about sales. No matter how big the discount is, the only 100% discount is the item you don't buy. Before you buy it, ask yourself if you truly 'need' something, or if you just 'want' it.

[@SachinS-sf2vm]

Absolutely

[@canadafree2087]

"When you are young" THAT is your super power! My mistake was not growing up poor (which I did) but not thinking that I wasn't in a position to save. There is always that one movie you can not see, that one fast food meal you can not buy. Save even $10 every pay if that is all you can. Get those spending and saving habits down now so you won't even have to think about it when you get that "better job" and you will already have money saved before you even start that "better job". Your youth is your super power.

[@annachristeencirbo9168]

Becoming debt free is a total game changer. Knowing that you are not an indentured servant to anyone is a freedom that is indescribable.

[@jrcannon8945]

I've told friends to make daily list of all spending for a few weeks..separate items by needs vs want...kill most wants an improve on needs..like fix meals at home...we build one brick at a time.

[@michaels9612]

Auto save. Every Friday. Invest bi monthly bout half my paycheck. Live way below my means. House hack. Just consume information rather than things. Be grateful. Stay busy with work school and information. Keep going towards goals.

[@guillaumel2049]

Hi Gabe! I agree. I started decluttering but it's like a never ending process! haha :D

[@MB-ml2ss]

When I go to the grocery store I only buy things with coupons, on sale, or on clearance. I then make my meals based on what I purchased. I'm vegetarian and eat mostly organic and have saved much money shopping this way. Also, the grocery store has a savings plan with a gas station to save on gas. It's a win win.

[@TheVividBeast]

Great video Gabe!!

[@investyourmoney6348]

Unbelievable to think how important it is to save. When you have a husband who no longer wants to be married or be a responsible Dad, you better have a support system with work and save, save save!

[@jasonparham8926]

My favorite money saving tip is to PAY YOURSELF FIRST! As soon as i get my paycheck I take a certain percentage out and put it towards my investments. Love watching my account grow!!

[@theshyone28]

My Dad said that once. I said I had no money to save cuz when I do save, i need it again. He said at least you have it. So if anything the discipline of putting 20 bucks in gives you something.

[@dudtopics159]

Great advice 👍 where do you save? Just out of interest. Or how do you save rather

[@meganhamlyn1694]

Currently decluttering/selling and doing a no buy to pay off a small amount of debt. Thanks for the great video!!

[@prioritizeonething9382]

Hey thanks for letting us follow your journey & being the same as us. It has definatley built a bridge to show us how to get from one place to another. My particular upsetting dilemma is when you don't have a lot coming in, but need to make ends meet & your time is already tied up. Would love to hear more on those solutions without killing yourself doing that or open ended polls on this topic. Thx!

[@ElMexipon]

As always awesome video man! your content helps me a lot with being more conscious with the way i spend money. Thank you!

[@dianaohh]

Love your videos! They are so inspiring 🤗🤩🤓

[@mickanvonfootscraymarket5520]

Learning how to have a healthy diet at the lowest cost goes a long way. Buying fruit in bulk, buying frozen veggies and reduced meats. Also, switching to store brand detergents, laundry powder, soaps etc. They do the exact same thing as named brands. Unless you wanna be a body builder (or are losing a lot of weight) working out from home or in parks, screw the gym member ship. Not going to the gym saved me like 600 dollars a year, and my fitness routine is still productive. - Joe, Melbourne Australia

[@pawsnotclaws2772]

It's a good thing to save. Not only for you, also for the planet. Think a week before buy something. Great videos!!!

[@krystiesolfyre5340]

There is such peace in your videos. Thank you for educating on this topic. With these tips, I was able to get debt free, I have an emergency fund, started my own business and for the first time I am able to pay for my mom to come see me and didn’t have to sweat it because I save much better now :)

[@fdamdrmt]

I like you and your insights about handling finances

[@alisonforrester4612]

The concept that really helped me start saving money was.... actually just before turning 50, deciding to STOP spending money! Paid off debts, stopped spending and started decluttering and minimising... Gabe, thanks to your channel for one...

[@AhmetKaan]

*The moment you stop complaining and take FULL responsibility for your life, that's the moment you get the full control on your life to achieve your goals...*

Believing your capable in life is another tip. Lack of self esteem is a killer to success.

[@natashatheresa]

I loved the whole video but my favorite part by far was the NerdWallet ad. Ty hahahaha

[@davidalder6558]

Good points and presentation Gabe. Another way to save is to learn some carpentry skills so that you can work with one professional carpenter and use some project management common sense to build your own small home. I did that when I was 37 and I paid off the small mortgage quickly which helped me retire early.

[@katthompson1838]

Thank you for these videos! They are inspirational and informative. I am recently debt free and am currently saving as much as possible but I do cave here and there and spend money on purchases that I didn’t budget for. I’m wanting to eliminate the desire to do that. I’m very grateful for these reminders. :) May I ask what kind of coffee warmer you use for your Chemex?

[@thesoiney24]

What about health insurance when a person retires early, I've heard alot of people not retiring early because it'll cost too much for them...im 30 and still want to retire between 50-58 years old.

[@debsmith7460]

I was just going to post the same question. Gabe, could you address this??

[@KittyKat-vb1nd]

Leave the US. I feel sad for older people there. Whilst working there it struck me the sad and hard lives so many older people have. And speaks volumes of how civilsed a society is.

[@impactingothers3354]

@@debsmith7460 I think we need trade offs. For me it was staying home & keeping my family as healthy as i could with cooking from scratch, & enjoying life while taking medicaid. It made economical sense.

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Haha, I can totally relate with the lazy part. I can get really creative and clever just to avoid doing too much work. And the opportunity part is real too!

[@highvaluelady7080]

Who you listen to in life matters. You could have a partner who wants a expensive home but they can't afford it. You will never get ahead with people who want more than they are willing to give.

[@richiehustle]

Hands down agree

[@lamoon1525]

I think one thing young people "buy into" is the retiring from a job after 20 yrs. That myth is keeping a lot of people in dead end jobs, and the facts are...at 19 1/2 yrs or so...the company you poured your youth into is going to find a reason to fire you outright, and find a way to keep your hard earned pension...if you even have one. The more honest look is you're going to have at least 6 to 10 different places you will work during your life. Why? The facts are companies reorganize, bankrupt, embezzle wages etc., only hire people they can enslave etc. The only way out of this, is to find your version of what Gabe Bult does. Do it now.

[@ijaen]

1) Booty! 2) loved the fun bit for the sponsor 3) an “Ah ha!” Moment here: saving is efficient as it already paid the taxes. I keep saying this to people, they don’t understand the power of small and compounded savings. This month: £100, next month £125, next month £150 and so on.

[@impactingothers3354]

Go see how others do things. Saves time and money.

[@alexwood1390]

Focusing on reducing the big expenses and ignoring the "how dare you but takeout coffee and have nice things!" crowd. Why save small amounts depriving yourself of small nice things when you can save large amounta on big expenses that you'll barely notice. Rent, utilities, car (finance is such a con, buy a cheap reliable second hand car), phone bills etc are better ways to save that still let you enjoy the small things
