How to Crush a NO BUY YEAR in 2025

[@ElAgustin]

Why are you doing a No Buy Year??

[@sandrabryan9106]

Hoping to retire this year.

[@myaccount9498]

To boost my emergency fund

[@joshallison2966]

To clear my debt

[@amydecker6207]

I WILL clear out 18000 of debt next year. I bought several items ahead of time to beat tariffs, so we good over here.

[@surfside75]

Property.

[@7931lila]

I plan to do no-buy steps. 1-day, 3-days, 1-, 2-, 3, weeks, then 1-month, 3-months, 6-months, 9-months and finally a 1-year no-buy year. I know myself. I have to start small or I’ll quit after a few days. Thank you, Austin; I appreciate you so much !!

[@thewanderingstarseed]

Great idea! I’m going to implement this

[@Observe199-l6w]

Planning is different from executing. Live your life, dear.

[@jayogee913]

Good strategy, I like it. I'm doing the thing where if I am compelled to shop online (and I do have a compulsive shopping problem), I leave all the stuff in my cart, do NOT complete the sale, and walk away for 48 hours. About 90% of the time, I end up not making the purchase because the compulsion has passed. Saving money feels SO much better than clogging my life up with cr@p I end up not even wanting!

[@montoriabryan167]

This is such a great idea

[@19laura76]

Next year is gonna be a yes buy year for me : new car, and new iPad. ...but as I planned this many years ahead, the money is ready and I won't have any debts. 😊

[@BrianK-zz4fk]

Start now, no reason to wait till January 😊

[@ElAgustin]

Exactly!

[@myaccount9498]

I did my 1st no buy challenge in Jan 24 & I was so shocked by how much money I saved that I kept going all year! So 3 weeks left. Most helpful thing was tracking every dollar I spent daily & putting a tick where I didn't spend anything. I'm so proud of myself, especially as I'm on a fixed low income. 2025 will be an action replay! ❤

[@therachelexperience_2209]

How much did you save?

[@myaccount9498]

@therachelexperience_2209 20% of my low income

[@matildamatilda1836w]

Wow! Well done! 🎉

[@melodramatiqueable]

Wow! That Sounds great!!! Congratulation! I am an impulse shopper and I also wanna heal. I am doing a no Buy year Next year. I am Tracking my Money and I was shocked how much Money I spend on clothes… 😮

[@susanp.collins7834]

Hoo Boy! I am a South African State Pensioner on an income of R2190 per month plus a small (very small!) side hustle. Save? SAVE??? On THAT amount?? But in February of this year a good friend of mine sat me down and said she thought I could. I thought, 'Sweetheart, you are NUTS!' But I agreed to have a bash and we settled on R300 per month. And because I trust her I agreed to hand her the money to put in her safe. Not only that but I gave her R600 that month for January as well as February. It is now December. I am up to date. And in about 3 of this years months I have actually doubled up because I had to go to Cape Town to visit a relative and had to 'take out' some money which I wanted to put back. And do you know what? I have HARDLY NOTICED IT. And I am hoping to give her an extra R400 before New Year to bring the R3600 up to R4000 which is a nice round amount. And next year I hope to do better. January will be a No Spend month as I will be fasting and in any event have enough food in my freezer. I want to do a TEFL course... I'm very excited.

[@sandrabryan9106]

I did a no buy for 4 years and my savings/investments sky rocketed. I took a break this year, but I will be going back to it in the new year.

[@ElAgustin]

Adding an extra 1k to savings is life changing for many people!

[@Dreamer-by4nk]

@@sandrabryan9106 wow how did you do it?

[@MNSkolGirl]

I am so committed to doing a no buy year. I'm so behind with retirement and savings that it's scaring me. I'll be making my list this weekend!

[@marycramer2650]

Good luck!!

[@LilannB]

I am doing a no buy month this month (Dec) to prepare for a no buy year in 2025. I am doing this to practice simplicity and gratitude.

[@thewanderingstarseed]

I failed the last two years at my no buy year aspirations. Third times a charm 🤞 I know my mistakes, and what changes I need to make in order to succeed. I’m ready! I started yesterday lol my biggest issue is the internet. I quit IG (I’m not on anything else) and today is my last day of KZbin. I want to feel like I’m living again in the days before internet. Slow living, no outer/online influence. Going within.

[@CHPCHPCHP123]

I love the idea of a no-buy year and mainly making the lists, not so much for saving money, but to be kinder to the planet , not so much junk, rubbish, waste and pollution !!! ❤👍🏻😀🤩

[@karenbachar5253]

I am planning a 'no buy year in 2025'. My why is healing from being an impulsive spender and to better use what I have. I will spent time thinking about the rules for this. Thank you for putting this out there.

[@danielleg8257]

Same

[@moneybymonica]

My husband and I practiced a No Spend in 2020 with a goal of saving $26k for a downpayment for our first home. We had no kids. At the end of that year, we had 26k 👏🏻👏🏻 Since then we’ve practiced No Spend Months, No Spend Winters, No Spend “10Days” or even No Spend Weekends and have meet more smaller goals. We now have 2 kids and 1 income. Our next goal is a No Spend from December 21-May 31 👏🏻👏🏻 I think it’s “easier” when basic human needs are still being met. Good homemade food, free activities and simple desires help too. This lifestyle feels normal

[@Jet-h7q]

It sounds lovely too

[@DW...]

1 way to get ahead is live below your means😉 so a no buy it is!

[@kayu7941]

12 months. To remind me I have what I need.

[@maha77]

I'm doing a 'NO BUY' for *6 years,* only buying food and essentials, I'm playing 'catch up' on my retirement, my house is stocked with triple of everything I need materially, so I'm following a super-strict budget. I've been doing it for months now, and it's been amazingly easy. The feeling of accumulating money is so much more rewarding than spending it. I'm kinda mad at myself for how much money I wasted in the past buying useless things

[@shadygrove3738]

During the pandemic I did not go into stores except for groceries. My bank account soared during that time. I stopped going to coffee shops and made my coffee at home and took a thermos to the beach or for a drive instead. Packed homemade lunches for outtings. A good picnic is just as much fun as eating in restaurant. This year I want to combine spending less with selling off excess.

[@AnneAtsusa]

I'm already doing this challenge since January 2024 and so far I'm totally enjoying it. I noticed I value my purchases way more than before and avoid impulse shopping. Gaining more control over my finances and having more money in my savings account makes me feel at ease. Of course I had to adjust my allowed spending list a couple of times, but the amount of allowed items stayed the same (just crossed out and replaced some options). This challenge was so much fun that I'll continue it in 2025. :D

[@seekingtheminimumlevel1830]

As a person who lives mostly a no buy life, as in I have a detailed budget, track every expenditure, live below my means, and buy very few non-essential items because I just like a simpler life that's more eco-friendly, this is the best video I've seen to explain the no buy concept. Yes, knowing your why and setting goals is crucial to success. Thank you for doing this. I hope it is helpful to many people trying to use this concept to reach their goals.

[@milicamarshastefanovich3312]

I live in CA and the cost of living combined with inflation has forced me into a no buy these past few years. 2025, will be no different! I only buy what is an absolute must, zero wants and I only replace what has to be replaced. I still use my iPhone 10, she runs like a champ and cell service is through Visible @ $25 a month. I’ve drastically cut corners and I’m thankful for these lessons. There’s no going back.

[@jacqueslee2592]

That is still expensive. You should try Mint and you only pay annually at a fraction of the cost. There are different plans but you pay more with Visible.

[@4eolian]

There's something exhilarating and empowering about your videos. I feel understood and motivated to take matters into my own hands!

[@ElAgustin]

Awesome!! I try to format them in an easy to digest way!

[@susanarodriguez1675]

Learn to differentiate between WANTS AND NEEDS!!!!

[@susanp.collins7834]

Most people can't...

[@cynthiat3630]

A year feels like a long time so I am going to take it one month at a time

[@PattiHartley-o4s]

Good idea at first. You can tweak your model as you move along.

[@susanp.collins7834]

Cynthia, I started in January this year with a goal of ZAR 300 per month. It is now December and I am not only up to date but I want to add an extra R400 to the R3600 to bring it up to a nice round R4000. I am SO proud of myself!

[@mimim9265]

😎

[@anacuevas9273]

I definitely live in a not buying mode. I plan ahead as much as possible. I am going to a close friend wedding in March , I already set the limit $ for gift + my dress. What I have is enough for me and my wants are not extravagant. A night out with friends is always good, $50 is the most expensive night that I have spent.

[@MissNewsky]

I have a goal to save half of my income in 2025. No buy, let's go🎉😅

[@GrannyLinn]

Ooh, please let us know how that goes! Good luck!!

[@MissNewsky]

@@GrannyLinn I will, thank you!😊

[@Iamreallyhungry]

My goal as well. I'll be back by next year December to give a feedback

[@MissNewsky]

@@Iamreallyhungry yes, do that!😊

[@shaneeh9361]

Commenting so that I can get the updates 🎉🎉

[@plappin]

Excellent idea for the coming year! I wonder if you might explore why buying feels so good to so many people (if you haven't already): is it just the dopamine effect? If it is, and we stop making non-essential purchases, how do we find a dopamine substitute? Also, how about collecting? Why do people collect and is it always a negative thing (increasing clutter, purchasing non-necessities, etc.)?

[@ElAgustin]

Excellent idea! I'll actually do this!

[@sarajaved5552]

We want to increase Serotnonin. google it. It brings joy. Dopamine gives pleasure---big problem

[@josephineesan8703]

I like the "setting ground rules" part as that helps with focus. I'm doing a No Buy Year because I had to spend my emergency fund this year and I need to build that back up in 2025. Thanks for the video, El Agustin!

[@ElAgustin]

Thanks for watching, Josephine!

[@amydecker6207]

Austin- this is an EXCELLENT video. Congratulations on hitting this one right out of the park.

[@ElAgustin]

Thanks! How to videos are my favorite to make. Next week's is another how to! It's New Year time!

[@klaudia9298]

I am planing to do my no buy year for a whole year. I just purchased my first home and I want to rebuild my financial cushion.Thanks for this video.

[@Shantelle6253]

I've been in a No Buy for 3 years. I definitely know my 2025 why. And i know what my next Why is going to be when i do it again in 2026. 😂 No Buy forevermore ❤

[@nicolletelangdon2694]

I've been doing a no buy challenge for almost a decade now. I've been purging my closet and been giving clothes away to people who need them. I no longer donate to the thrift store since their prices have gone up and it's becoming unnafordable. However, I budget myself $50.00 a week to eat out. Other than thant, just the basics. for those of you who like to go to bars/clubs, budget yourselves. When I used to go, I would only take a $20.00, my ID, and that was it. That's how much I allowed myself to spend. That was enough to buy someone a drink, and myself a drink or two. I know times have changed, so maybe increase it to $25.00, but not an extra penny. Remember, every time you waste your money on something, it means someone else made money off of you.

[@ElAgustin]

Right on!

[@GrannyLinn]

Great idea if you need to pay down debt or build up your savings!

[@TravisMcMurray]

I’m privileged in that I work from home full time. I also live in northeast TN where the cost of living is much lower than metropolitan areas. 2024 has been my reset year. My boy (cat) became very ill and eventually passed. The treatments and vet bills were incredibly expensive. Through the loss of my baby, I was faced with what really matters in life. That had a direct impact on my frivolous spending.

[@Luncheon23]

This is something within my reach and I will try my best to have a no buy year in 2025! Thank you, as always, Agustin 😊

[@thebes118]

I don't buy hardly anything I don't need. If I need clothes etc, I will go to thrift stores. Even food I try to look for clearance sales. Eat out maybe twice a month at the most. In other words, stay frugal.

[@mattp2607]

Into a 18 months no buy challenge, already 4 months. Habits are changing a lot and motivated !!! It is a life changing for the best. Thanks for your inspiration !

[@ElAgustin]

Thanks for watching, Matt!

[@mirchimome]

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.

[@GertonTootle]

She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states

[@bennettross1]

The very first time we tried, we invested $1400 and after a week, we received $5230. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.

[@DianaLinden-l6q]

[@BroxsonDeighan]

I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills

I think I'll start with a no-spend month. I did it last year and was surprised how automatic it was for me to browse Amazon in search of stuff to buy.

[@papaschlumpf68]

Challenge accepted!! Greetings from germany. Loving your videos. Always a great inspiration.

[@stacyw607]

I have had mint mobile for just over a year now ( they send you an anniversary card!!) and I LOVE it!!!

[@Denise_Cocoa]

I’ve been doing “Low Buy Years” instead of no buys cuz I know myself. It has worked out cuz even tho I haven’t stuck to it 100%, I’ve spent less than last year and I’m way more mindful with my spending. I plan to be more disciplined next year cuz I want to pay my car off and I have a balance of $25,000. So, let the games begin!!

[@carolynadams4963]

I completed a no spend year in 2019 and started my second no spend year 6 weeks ago.

[@ElAgustin]

Nice!

[@danicegewiss862]

I do no buy week by week. I'm weeding plastic out so I'm replacing it bit by bit. My husband needs dress shoes. Our brother in law may not make it to 2025. We may be going to a funeral. He only has sneakers and work boots. I'm buying plastic to help block the cold out. The end...at this point. No TV. I have more than enough beauty products. I sorted them into containers so I could see what I have at all times. You have spam in your comments. I reported it, but it's still there.

[@ElAgustin]

I try to stay on top of it! Honestly I don't read many of the comments in my older videos to protect my mental health. But whenever I see spam in the new videos I try to delete them. They usually come when the topic of the video is really related to finance.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket; instead, diversify into different asset classes to mitigate risk. If you lack extensive knowledge, consult a financial advisor.

Accurate asset allocation is crucial with an Experts guidance.

[@anitapekarik3711]

Love this channel!! I retired so I need to start on some "no-buy" years.

[@mentalmadness9783]

My why is to get used to actually using the stuff I already own. I'm an expert on getting things that I really don't need that just sits there on the shelf or I'm very careful to use my things because I don't want them to get used up, but isn't that the point of stuff? I haven't tossed away or sold a thing for a very long time, the most recent thing I tossed was a pair of jeans that I had for 4 years and wore them a lot until it literally was nothing left. Found myself a new pair of favorite jeans at the flea market for 3 dollars, as new, only had a small hole in the crutch, probable from getting stuck on a barbed wire or similar and that was enough for the old owner to sell it. I sewed it and wear the jeans daily. That is my why, getting used to use the stuff I already have, read the books that I already own, watch the dvd's I already own, learn the board games that I already own, use my hiking equipment that I already own...

[@oliviayin6363]

My first attempt at a No Buy year is this coming year, 2025, and my why is to save money and pay down debt. Mindfulness and Gratitude would be very welcome additional benefits too!

[@N.Az-Mill]

I already buy very little, but sometimes I splurge.

[@cassiecolon9519]

I plan on doing the 30 day challenge in January. That sounds like a realistic plan for me. I'm doing this because I want to reset my spending habits and get better at managing my money to feel more in control.

[@CherylMurphy-i8i]

Great advice. Keep up the good work.

[@SuperSteveJO]

I have enough books & painting projects for a whole year this is why I don’t need to spend on these in 2025

[@magdalezag]

I am not a natural spender nor shopper (I honestly dislike both) :), however, doing an intentional no-buy year made me much more mindful about all the things that I already owned and use them even more, decreasing cost per use. I truly recommend to make such a time a first step to minimalism as well, instead of decluttering first, which a lot of minimalism influencers suggest to start with :)

[@caffeNoizette]

Planning for 12 months , but will periodically cut it in half so 1st step is until June & reboot for another 6 months ! I have done a No buy year in 2021 and extend it until end of 2022… I never have been so happy and content in life 🎉 2023 was good too but this year I have done me good!!

[@yatshie8717]

I did a low buy year last years where I was allowed to buy from certain categories within a fixed budget (for example books with a monthly budget of 30€). I managed to save 1500€ which doesn't sound much but I'm a student who didn't manage to live within my monthly salary before and made debt. I also payed off my debt which was about 1000€. So in total I saved 2500. Next year I wanna do a no buy year because I want to build an emergency fund. My dog got quite sick a few weeks ago and we had to pay around 500€ for medical costs. I wanna be able to always pay his emergency medical bills without going into debt. This year I wanna unravel why every single inconvenience makes me wanna buy stuff. I wish you all the best and that you may achieve your financial goals!

[@carnivorecaveman]

Well, in this year 2024, I spent less than $300 on “stuff”... The most expensive item was a Silky Nata Outback Edition Hatchet, which cost $110. I needed it for bushcrafting. But based on the “one in - one out” minimalist principle, I immediately got rid of the Estwing hatchet I had until then, because the Nata also performs its function, and even much more efficiently! I also threw away an unnecessary knife and two smaller meat cleavers. So the Nata was indeed a good purchase, because it got rid of not only one but also several other things. Moreover, I got $12 for the thrown-away knife and $21 for the Estwing hatchet, so I can consider the Nata to have cost me this much - a total of $33 - less! The above-mentioned amount of approximately $300 does not include what I spent on food, of course.

[@patriciapokam5974]

Thank you very much for your KZbin videos and it has really helped and motivated me to adopt a frugal lifestyle. I am planning to do a no buy for 1 year. Due to my financial experience of losing all my savings and emergency funds 🙏😊

I did a no buy year and my wife said "by by dear". Lolol. Great video for disciplining yourself. I think The no by year is the ultimate test. I would start out in baby steps such as do a no by month, a no by quarter and then if you can step it up to a no-by half year year-on to something. Just like with Marathon training you need to build up overtime, you just can't run the 26.2 from the get-go.

Did she genuinely ditch you?

I plan to do a low-buy. I feel I'll set myself up for failure with the terminology of 'NO' buy. Why I'm doing it? To build restraint in frivolous spending and have an emergency fund/investment portfolio

[@SvestkovaDraha-p7x]

Starting 2nd year of no buy. Need to sell my house and move so trying to create the largest financial cushion I can since moving is expensive.

I don't even wanna think about the no of books I've bought this year. It's embarrassing 😂My priority is no books. If I can pull it off I'd be so proud of myself 😇

I did it a few years ago when I had thrice less money. So that was one year without alcohol, for instance.
