I've lived like this all my life, I called it poverty 🙂 but I love how young people have changed the name and the meaning behind it 👍

[@bayjustin3885]

It’s not poverty … it’s being frugal. ❤

[@hellraiser1306]

Ah yes my family is poor so this is how I lived my life too even into adulthood. We're being YONO instead of being POOR ❤

[@머니다람쥐]

Hi, I'm Money Squirrel💰🐿️ appeared in the interview. I‘m honored to have this opportunity. I will continue to spend rationally to achieve my goals. I wanna cheer YONO people around the world up.

Do you have a website?

[@WhippedForJeonJungkook]

Cost of living crisis, you buy only the essentials and what you can afford now

[@Way2go926]

Funny, i used to only wear 1 pair of shoes to work for years until it wear down. It’s a choice. Not a trend

[@BonaKim-hd8ec]

Frugality is adulting

[@sumayyasheraf4973]

This world, not just Korea is getting too much costly nowadays!! So, coping up with it is the only way!

[@sumayyasheraf4973]

Well, not just Younger generation, I guess everyone can switch to Consume good , only which they need! Overconsumption must be tackled!!

[@PeenchPeench]

Excellent topic. It's great that young people are taking charge of their situation.

[@Andizu1]

Oh no, everybody has stopped spending crazy amounts of money on stuff we don't need! 🙄 A good development if you ask me.

[@mkoreamtanzania]

YONO is a good slogan for economic survival...!!! P.S 2:28 -2:31 is she watching Pinggyego ep 58?

[@머니다람쥐]

@@mkoreamtanzania OMG! you are correct🤣

[@curiousinkorea91]

It’s more apt for minimalism actually, specially now with the fast paced shopping culture and throw-away mindset of people. Not only we saved some dough, we also save the planet from the over consumerism’s effect.

[@ILIVEAGOODLIFE]

Celebrities are created to drive consumerism. Imo, these are the celebrities we need. The ones that help you develop

[@1hotshon]

This sounds like a healthy trend!! Love it!

[@Appellate_999]

This is awesome content! The new host Lia is very good

[@yhnoh89]

Started getting into baking bread (because i love pizza) and loving saving money and getting something that is comparatively "healthier" than commercial bread. Hopefully, the initial investment on new cooking tools will eventually reach an amortization point where the gains outweigh the cost of store products Fyi i used to buy a large pizza every 2 weeks

[@chauminh]

Merci, sorry that isn't saving on grocery, she increased her grocery price.

[@ASoundscapeofOurOwn]

Her hack is basically being an influencer who gets paid to eat and post paid blogs and using coupons...

[@JosephEthan-ky7zp]

it's not everything was paid for, she has a side hustle that is blogging that is paying for it. my side hustle nets me 60-80 usd a day on top of my full time corporate job. my side hustle itself is able to fund a monthly vacation but of course, i don't have the time to since im busy with work and my side hustle :,)

She seems to be living in a nice place tbh

[@zevil89]

Kind of odd to see this considering Korea has a higher salary than Japan and only behind Hong Kong and Singapore. The standard of living ideally should be better than Japan

[@Lalalalala98872]

the Hong Kong and Macau standard of living are definitely not on par to the Korean one - even though salaries are higher. Housing and bills are expensive af in Hong Kong because land is so small. It's like 2k a month for and old, moldy, one room one bath apartment in the city - when that would be 800 in Seoul, or 600 for a much nice apartment 2 room across the border in Shenzhen

[@zevil89]

@@Lalalalala98872 Just goes to show that GDP per Capita does not mean anything if the real estate industry is out of control.

[@Dakshin-x3f]

Do u think before typing anything. Higher salary so what ? When the prices of goods and services are so high. So they have to pay more than some other country where people get less salary. 1 kg potatoes in my place is 1/2 dollar, carrot is 1/3rd and garlic that much is 1/2 dollar. When u compare countries compare using ppp index . And its higher ppp means u are getting looted.

[@shebe957]

😮😮

[@justmytwocentsdontgetmad]

"The trend to dial back on spending is a global phenomenon" Sorry but are the youth today this ignorant? The need for frugality is basic common sense

[@redpurse]

Really like watching yr videos but this switching English and Korean cc really doesn't work! We're clicking cc on and off just to continue reading English cc. Would it be possible to be consistent for chosen language, english in our case? 🙏🙇🏻‍♀️🙇‍♂️

[@bqanto]

You are confusing the subtitles provided by KZbin with the subtitles inserted into the video by Korea Now.

[@WooSungChoi]

So... they have to learn to live like us: normal latinoamericans.

Ur Latin American ? Mr. Woo Sung Choi ? 😮
