🤩 Sleeping on it, without a doubt. Almost all marketing leading to sales is based on an emotional response, which in turn results in very impulsive decisions. Marketers thrive on that. Sleeping on it, even for 1 night if not 30 lulls the emotion to the point where logic now has a bit of a chance. Happy Tuesday peeps. 🙂

I have been using the 10% rule, learnt it from the Richest man in Babylon. I'm actually using the same rule so I can pay my taxes. As soon as I earn something I put aside 40% for taxes, 10% for savings and the rest is for every day life expenses. I have been learning about the "sit on it rule" lately. I have bought my latest camera after waiting for almost a year and it turns out it was the right choice.

Definitely going to make saving a habit: I've already begun to build a budget according to previous suggestions of yours. Applying the #konmarie method to my finances is GENIUS and I'm so excited to apply it to my finances!

[@roshan3311]

I don’t fully agree with attaching an emotional connection to saving I feel it should be as detached as much possible but keep a practical goal and process driven approach to saving

[@Alan7997]

A combination of 1.5 years of lockdown along with a lot of overtime at work and an investing mindset has allowed me to save 85% of my weekly pay. Now my investments are beginning to generate additional wealth which is far more satisfying to see than any gadget or item of clothing I don't need.

[@Abundantiaco]

That is AMAZING! Dude, saving 85% is huge.

If you have seen the movie "In Time" you have to think about currency the same way. As long as you work a 9 - 5 you are trading your time for money and then you spend that money on things which means that you are trading time off of your life for things.

[@hirrorstories]

Wowww this is a great tip. Even if someone doesn't work from 9-5 but freelance still they spend time in exchange to their effort/time

What impacted me the most from this video is viewing money as your hard earned TIME and not money. Also, as an American, I would for sure say us younger generations DEFINITELY value our time and having more life experiences in terms of travel much more than older generations. BUT, that doesn’t mean that corporate America has changed in terms of “allowed vacation time” I went to college and got a bachelors in Sociology to just come out of college unable to find a job in time to pay rent and my new lovely student loans. So I went back to nannying (which I had done all though college because it pays well) and could NEVER go back to working as an employee in the US. I always thought that it was strange that most other countries allow a whole months worth of vacation time. And that here your lucky to get 2 weeks s maybe even use your sick leave for some extra time off. It’s insanity here in the states because there is ZERO work life balance. It’s just go go go go. One thing I admired SO much in Europe when my fiancé and I went after I graduated (both of our first times out of the country) was that you see families and friends taking like 2-3 hours to sit and have lunch. Everything was so slow paced and people took their time to enjoy life and company with others. I really hope the US can achieve this one day.

SELL THE COUCH 😆 had same exact experience with a vintage chair I bought. The moment it was home, in the corner where it was planned to be, I started disliking it. 4 months later decided to sell it and was glad the chair was gone, along with frustration of impluse buying. And I got all my money back 🔥

[@vmambu1]

[@rhosymedra6628]

Really feel the saving thing. Even when I made 30k a year and was paying student loans, I saved. I didn't save much, but I saved some, and it let me travel (not much, but some. and I had a really good time on those travels). Now that I make more I save more. Once you get into the habit of saving and living below your means, it is easy to keep up. But you have to build the habit.

[@Abundantiaco]

Yes! It's all about building good habits

[@melissa_louise]

Thanks for this video Sorelle! I used to on days when I was feeling the urge to spend, go into a shop, walk around mindlessly pilling things into my basket, and then when I thought I was done, walk back around and put everything back where they belong and walk out of the shop, it used to give me the 'spending' satisfaction, without actually getting anything.

[@Stormageddon7]

Living a back packer lifestyle the past 2 years has really helped saving and keeping it minimal! You have to CARRY everything you buy! So it was easy to resist buying things if I asked myself "Do I really want to carry that?" If I ever have to buy anything, I always try to buy second hand first when it comes to clothing, better for the wallet and environment. The exemption to this is shoes. Always buy good shoes, since it saves in the long by not having to replace them as frequently.

[@erintannehill]

Sending you the biggest hug! This message speaks to my heart so much! I love saving. I'm a natural saver, so #1 is my favorite! To keep a long story short, I've recently given myself a raise by taking on a second job for fun versus necessity. My husband and I have big dreams and each month, that extra money goes directly towards them. Every time I drive my school bus, I'm not just thinking about the kids I'm driving to and from school, but also how each trip is one step closer to making my dreams come true. I personally love knowing where my time and effort are going. It drives me to do my best.

[@unclemick-synths]

Additional tips: monitor your financial health by the balance in your bank account immediately before your pay goes in. Also keep one savings account dedicated to your spending within the year (birthdays, holidays, car maintenance, etc.) and another for long-term spending (next car, new kitchen, air conditioning repairs, etc.). Have a plan for each so you know how much you need to contribute from each pay. Reduces the nasty surprises and avoids buying things on credit.

[@JOETB]

Hey girl, love your content! side note; Don't feel bad about the couch! Sometimes a reactional buy like that can also be a good thing, especially if you don't do them often. Something in you really liked it, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to make your home feel nice - it's where you spend your time! so what if you felt a little boujee? Enjoy it! Worst case, check if you can buy new covers, and change it to the colours you want 👏🏼 but if you really don't want it, you can consider reselling it to someone locally, since you bought it in your city, someone else might be looking to get one too 😊

[@KeturaSaint-Fleurose]

Hi Sorelle, just wanna say, I'm so glad you made the financial channel! Been a watcher of your photography/travel channel for years and getting to hear your financial side of things (something I've been striving towards in order to live a travel lifestyle that I want to) has been so inspiring because of the same lifestyle! I barely see this sort of background and while I want to grow rich and am astounded by the financial and wealth books, a lot of them come from a business background and one I don't feel too connected with. None of my friends also share the same type of enthusiasm as I grow upon this financial journey and I respect you so much for making this, teaching us, and inspiring us ❤️

[@ukholida8320]

1. Attach emotional reason to saving. When you want to spend, Write 100 reasons why is it beneficial to save now. 2. Think of time in terms of hours. When you want to spend, think is it worth to sacrifice 2 hours of your life for. 3. Dont buy on reaction to pretty stuff on discounts. Reaction buying sucks. Big companies have way to hijack your psychologies. Keep your mind focus on reasons for saving. 4. MAKE THE HABIT OF SAVING. Take 10% straight off to emergency account. First time. Before anything. Hide your emergency n travel accounts. Just see the daily accounts. Seeing that you only have small amounts to spend is a great help. 5. IGNORE YOUR INCOME INCREASES. Put it straight into savings. 6. BE AWARE OF CHANGING NARRATIVES. Minimalism.

[@walterpen371]

Bang On Sorelle ! You have a unique, intelligent, common sense, disciplined mind set. Don't worry about the couch because a warm hearted person like you deserves a break sometime. Snuggle on your couch and listen to your favourite music. A famous billionaire once told his impulse buying story. He purchased a yacht and said honestly the two best days of boating was the day I bought it and the day I sold the Damm thing! Peace and stay healthy.

[@ariellejosephine]

Ignoring income increases has definitely been the best way for me to save. When I was studying I was working part-time to support myself and made only enough to pay my expenses and maybe put $20 a week into savings. Now, my income has quadrupled but I still spend the same amount on expenses which allows me to save and invest 65% of my after deductions income while also giving me some extra money to treat myself. Another mindset hack I use is to carefully choose which accounts I follow on social media - I make sure that whoever I follow has the same priorities in terms of what money should be spent on. For me, it's travel so I avoid following style influencers even though style is an interest of mine - it's just not what I want to spend most of my money on.

[@ShamanicLightHealing]

Girl I have started watching your videos for a month now and seeing how beautiful you were inside and outside made me feel like I certainly want to reach that balance of being fashionable whilst being fiercely engaged in the flow of my work. Right now I knew it was an impossibility but wanted to see if I could make it work until you told us about you sacrificing the latest fashion trends so you can travel which is spot on with how I want to operate. You just made me feel so much better about my sacrifices and that advice you gave about writing things down is something my therapist implemented in many areas of my life. I'm impressed and it's a solid piece of advice that I never thought to use for financial goals which is a large portion of emotional influence in one's life. It just makes sense. You're a wonderful mentor. I'll continue studying the way you've lived since I can tell you're the kind of soul I wish to align with. 🥰

Thank you for this video! Extremely agree on sleeping on it, it can be beneficial not only on the financial side but also on the planning side. I slept for almost a year on the creative writing course. I wanted to buy it straight ahead, but finally, after sleeping on it I decided to postpone it, as I was sure not to have enough time. Well, this year I paid 60 euros more, than I have paid last year, but now I am sure that I have no other things that can prevent me from assisting classes on Wednesday and Friday evenings.

[@Kayla-yf3gc]

I like the goal and reward system. I normally set my savings goal for the month and if I reach it I reward myself with a free low cost experience or a low cost digital product like an audiobook! It makes me really excited and I tend to avoid overspending (especially if the reward is something i really want to buy) and it gives me a month to think about if i really want that experience or item.

[@YoniTempleArtGallery]

Sell the couch for the price you bought it for, its still a 30% less than the full price so whoever buys it is still getting a bargain, and maybe they will absolutely love it!. You have made your money back, and whilst you are selling it, buy one second hand that you are in love with. Moving on, I'm really loving your videos. I remember you from your selfie videos. Well done you for doing so well for yourself!!! SO great that you are inspiring so many people

[@thejonasonstyle]

I love your video. As a stylist and desigber growing up with littld money I am now showing even well- earning women how to style themselves extraordinary and uplevel thrir look without buying a lot. Actually, I felt a bit mimor about it, struggling with this focus, because I was afraid of attracting the wrong people. Now your video shows me that also the rich people love to buy smart and save money. Thank you so much, this inspires me to rethink my wording.

[@ladywiththelantern]

Tip 1. Work in back up systems to save money. If I don’t have time to pack a lunch I already have protein and fruit options I can grab to keep from spending money on snacks and take out. Tip 2. Because of our consumer habit, there is probably something already available to you that will fill the need you have. Try to think of five different ways you can acquire a thing or use something else for a different purpose to fulfill the need. For example, using a dining room chair as a bedroom side table. Tip 3. Learn about psychology and the tactics used to get you in a consumer trap. You are less likely to get caught up in the trap if you see the wire set up in advance. Check if a strong need has not been met. Are you too hungry, too tired or too angry to make a good decision? Then step away.

[@cassianaana8736]

Love the couch story hahaha and your personality is just beautiful! What helps the most to consistently save is to send the money away at the end of the month to different bank accounts + investments.

I slowed down my spending by going through my Amazon account for the past 18 months. I wrote down the amount of each purchase & added these all together. 😳 Holy sh*+. I could justify approx 1/3 of these purchases. Amazon isn't the only place I shopped online but it was the bulk of it bc of the oh so tempting "free shipping". Now if I think I need something, I'll put it in my cart for a few days. It doesn't seem so appealing after a few days. My online shopping has decreased dramatically. I've started keeping all of my receipts from day to day living. Fast food, gas, drug store etc. I know my checking account will divide these into categories for me but there is something about physically doing it myself that makes it seem more real. I also keep the majority of my money in my savings. I transfer the exact amount I need to spend on bills, groc etc. This also helps minimize my spending. My savings is almost 20k right now. May not be much for some but to me it is. I have always spent money w/o giving a single thought .

When I spend money it is physically painful to me because I think of money in terms of time. For example, if something costs $100 I would think how long did I work for that $100 ....10 hours or whatever the number is so then I'm like I worked for 10 hours basically for free in exchange for that item and it's physically painful to me. PS I still wear clothes that are like 5 years old. I look after them and the quality is good so there are no holes in them and they haven't decolored yet so I still wear them 🤷‍♀️

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs wore literally something that my dad would wear. What you wear doesn’t buy happiness so I’m so happy to hear you talk about how you preferred happiness over looking like how people expect you too.🥰

When I got my first employed job with a minimum wage salary and a long term contract, it was the first time I felt I had a form of financial safety, some down time and space to keep my stuff (before that I was always on the road). It made me want to buy A LOT of things. I knew I couldn't afford it all so I started writing down lists of "Things I want to buy", initally just to get an idea of the quantity of stuff I wanted and the price they cost. This way I would be able to know what I could afford this month, what would have to wait for next month wager, etc. The effects the list actually had that I didn't anticipate were that first, by writing them down, the things I desired weren't floating around in my head anymore so I stopped obsessing about them and some I completely forgot, so that when I occasionally had a look at the list I would think "jeez, why on earth did I desired this so badly a month ago? No idea." and scratch it off the list. Second, I realized that by the time I'd be able to afford that awesome ski jacket I wanted, two years would have passed and it would be summer... definitely not worth the time and effort. Third it took the sense of urgency out, if I felt there was something that I really needed or truly wanted, I would take the time to compare prices, look around for a second hand version, see if I could maybe make it myself, etc. Nowadays, the simple fact of writing down the list helps me get rid of the urge. The only thing that remains unchanged is "my house" :)

I love this! Thank you for the motivation

Hi Sorelle! Love your channels. This week I've also heard a very different kind of advice comparing to yours. The main idea was in order to become richer \ earn more money one should level up one's spendings (e.g. if you have 5 bags worth $30 each, next time you should buy one for $150 as a way of showing universe your intention to get more money). Another one is the idea that money comes for spending, so if you don't have any big purchases planned extra money won't come. And the one thing I've noticed about myself - making a decision of buying anything more valuable than food really stresses me out. And though I have enough money saved I still don't think that it's a good idea to buy something really expansive though affordable if there is a cheaper version. Is there a type of person like me who just likes hoarding money. Feels weird even just to realize it about myself.

Pay that statement balance off so you're not paying interest. Can pay to get to a certain total amount due past the statement balance to get ahead on the next bill if you want. If the bill is too high, can pay incrementally during the month so that it lowers over time so it is not due all at once. Try not to rack up the debt in the first place. (This has to do with CC bills. Other bills you can try to get on a payment plan if possible.)

Hey beautiful lady. Just the right person to come by with the perfect content to get me back in the right mind set. I needed a restart and to navigate into a new direction with money. I feel so inspired. Thankyou! Takes aways: Pay yourself first to show the universe you are worthy. Untouchable accounts. Been doing this for a while. Be can reassess and commit to this again with more direction. Just to rethink spending. Is this thing useful. Is this thing necessary? Can I do with out it?

I am turning 32, is it still possible to get ahead with finances? I just feel I should have chosen a better skill than going to college to study Theater Performance. I should have gotten it more together in my 20's. Anyways I want to say that I adore your channels and I get so much value from your video work. Thank you so much for doing what you do.

Hey Sorelle! Thank you for all the info that you share! Luckily I started my saving journey a few years ago and I have already moved a few steps in this field, but I'd like to do more. I know it is a delicate subject, but would you be able to make a video about how to find a financial advisor that fits our needs and that we can trust? I'd like to start investing into property and maybe silver&gold too, but I'm worried as I have no idea of how to navigate the world of financial advisors and what/who I should be looking for. Thank you very much!

I feel so attacked in the most polite way, I absolutely am grateful for this positive kick in the butt.

[@dianakijauskaite7615]

First of all - I am amazed by this channel - finally a millennial with a super conscious (and curious) mindset talks about finances! I really needed such an example in my life - eating up all your videos

[@howtoadultschool]

Absolutely, I felt like there was a need for more millennials (and women) to run finance channels on this platform as well. Sorelle has done a fabulous job!
