Best tips for success with a no buy year!

[@dolosang]

starting today for a no spend year. Extra hard when tempted by cool stuff for the grandchildren. Here goes. I sure do appreciate you, Rachel, and the inspiration you facilitate

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

So pleased you are going to give this a go! It is worth trying! 🥰

I've decided I'm going to do a no buy for any purses/bags/clutches, eyeshadow palettes and purfumes for 2024. I like the idea of keeping track of everything I spend. I think I want to do that as well.

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

This sounds great. Keeping track will definitely help. 🥰

I've always been an avid thrifter, and am determined to do a no buy year for clothing, books, and anything else non-essential. It's going to be hard because charity shopping is my therapy and my hobby, but I am over inundated with stuff already, and need to downsize dramatically. Wish me luck!

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

Charity shops might still be helpful but first you need to edit down the wardrobe. Then you can work out if there are any items missing that will help you make more outfits combinations. Always shop with a list.

I find your videos really helpful! I'm doing a low-spend winter to start off 2024! I've already paid off a credit card and was able to pay a big veterinary bill with just a bit of struggle.

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

Thats amazing! Well done. It definitely makes it easier when unexpected costs arise. Keep going 👌🙌

I'm about to move into a bigger house so my expenses are going up massively. I'm starting low buy from September to start saving and also overpaying the mortgage. This sort of content is ideal to help me stay on track!

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

Good plan. So glad you enjoy these videos 🥰

I'm planning to do a no spend month of January. I haven't done anything like this before. 💜

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

We can do it together! Youve got this!

@@racheldeclutteryourlife I'm pretty perfect in making plans but then... 🙈... I'm coming from decades of eating disorder. Nowadays I wanna buy things to please myself instead of getting reward through food. That's tough. 😬 But I'm very motivated. 💜

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

That sounds difficult but a no spend month will definitely help you see things differently x

[@kellylee_p9076]

New subscriber here. Very inspiring thank you so much, I’m going to start small with a no buy week, and then try a whole month .

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

Welcome. Starting small is a great idea. One step at a time. It does get easier x

[@aeolanyiramoon6260]

This is very helpful thank you :) I have an extra book to write in how much money I get and what I spend it on. I really want to save more money next year

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

Great plan! Go for it 👌

[@aeolanyiramoon6260]

I would love to see a post on bring financially savvy with children!

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

As in getting them learning about money or as a single parent buying things for them? X

[@TheImperfectReader]

I really like your back drop.

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

Thank you 🥰

Doing a low spend year next year...planner done, budget done...saving for stupid expenses like heating costs 🤔

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

Go for it. Its frustrating that things are so expensive for every day costs.

[@dogdonut3]

Great ideas. This is something Ive been thinking of trying. Thanks!

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

Its definitely worth a try and becoming aware of how you spend x

[@TjrobertsdecoratingCoUk]

With been self employed I have put 1 year away to pay bills etc if ill, My plan for next year is to have at least 4 months where I don't buy anything on credit card even though I. pay it off at the end of the month. Also getting rid of just eat app as i have just seen how much money gets used on that over the year. which is just down to me been lazy after coming in after work. Do you have a link for the budget book?

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

Thats amazing! Well done. I know what you mean with the food apps. Get meal planning and plan in some quick and easy throw together meals for those days when you dont feel like doing much. Ive added the link in the description just now. And will link here too amzn.to/3t4zgWR

No spend year on make-up or personal care items that aren't replacements for used up products. No spend on shoes.

[@racheldeclutteryourlife]

Go for it! Youve got this 👌
