How Can I AFFORD LUXURY ITEMS? Budgeting, Planning Purchases etc.

[@queencupcake]

I don’t see you doing a million unboxings, that’s one of the things I LOVE about your Chanel; you have balance with lots of other luxury fashion content. Also, you can genuinely tell that you love the pieces that you add to your collection and that you aren’t just purchasing for reviews. You truly have a curated collection specifically for you that you can wear over the years and it’s all screams Ca$$ie!

[@CassieThorpe]

Thank you so much!!!! I’m so glad it comes across that way because that’s exactly how it is! I’m true to my style and little to experiment a little but it’s still very “me”. I’d hate to buy stuff just for views etc. And also I’m a terrible liar so that wouldn’t be fun for me to film or you to watch 😂😂 thank you so much for always being so kind and supportive💖💖

[@samcassie9192]

You know Cassie, your channel is such a rarity in this KZbin space. Even though your content is obviously curated, you genuinely have a passion for the items you buy! I love that you keep collabs to a minimum, you don’t do hauls every week and then resell your items once the hype dies down and have a good variety of luxury items. Also, really appreciate you not putting ads in the body of the video, I happily run the ads before the video starts to support you, you are one of my fave content creators!

[@CassieThorpe]

Thanks so much for your support, really!! I’m glad that you see my passion for the items I own and that I buy them to enjoy them - otherwise it’s a slippery slope to fall down! 💕

[@vixw7974]

Agree with all of this! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@brunswick9806]

I love how real you are with us, especially when you were talking about haul videos. I think a lot of people can get caught up watching luxury KZbin channels and can get themselves in trouble thinking they need to “keep up” in a way. Instead, save up and only buy what you love. This was such sound advice! Hope you’re having a great trip!

[@CassieThorpe]

Yes! It’s so easy to think you have to “keep up”! Glad you enjoyed this one 🙌🏽💖💖

[@meghajanakiraman3344]

I AM SO DAMNED IMPRESSED! Like I feel proud to have subscribed to this channel (if that even makes sense) 😂 I've recently gotten into luxury (only been about 1.5 years since I started buying and 2 years since I've been saving) & I feel this insane pressure to start buying everything I see on YT unboxing! Especially for stuff like Chanel & Dior with the pressure to buy early bec of price rises! But this really reaffirms what I try and convince myself - it's a journey and it can take a while to get what I want! It doesn't all have to be bought in the next year or 2! So thank you for making this amazing video Cassie! ❤️❤️❤️

[@CassieThorpe]

Exactly! It’s journey - don’t rush yourself, take your time and buy what sets your heart on fire 🙌🏽💖💖

[@monimarz]

I feel that influencers have a responsibility to avoid unhealthy spending or projecting false spending habits (hiding sponsored items). I love watching you Cassie because you have videos that are diverse. If you never made a lux haul video I wouldn't be upset. I think discussing trends or chatting about fashion fails much more entertaining. Love the evidence you give and the hilarious critical commentary you make while shopping. The only reason I dabble in luxury hauls is when I am interested in a piece but want to see or hear another person's review of the item before I consider buying it.

[@CassieThorpe]

Thank you so much!! I like doing unboxings and hauls when I do them but I also love coming up with different kinds of videos outside of that like the ones you mentioned - I think variety is important 💖💖💖

[@superbadgem2635]

I have 8 accounts and my bank must think I'm nuts. One called spend it. One called bills. One called monthly budget (where I hide Travel, food expenses). I have a wedding savings account. Help to buy isa. Normal isa. Regular savings which is basically a float. And the most important account . . .My hubby's savings lol

[@CassieThorpe]

Oh wow that’s amazing! 💖

[@heidijay5902]

I only have one account, but it is split in a spreadsheet, so I know what is available for discretionary spending & what is not. I’m an accountant by trade, so I love a good spreadsheet.

[@CassieThorpe]

Thank you so much 🙌🏽💖

[@tanyap.1585]

Definitely one of the best videos you've made because I do feel some ppl watch these videos and put themselves in debt trying to keep up with all of the luxury items. I personally will only buy something once I have the money to fully pay off my credit card for that item. And I don't live beyond my means. If I can't afford it I will admire from afar! Lol. Have a great weekend!

[@CassieThorpe]

Exactly! There’s lots I admire from afar 😍😂💖💖

[@Foxtrotlima73]

I really find your honesty refreshing - it is a rare thing in the Luxury Community. I know it isn't quite the same, but hey, I class it as luxury - I saved up for a new computer and once I had got over being seduced on the Apple website I bought a (semi) ridiculous computer for my meagre needs. But the feeling of paying for it in full in one go, and unwrapping the bloody thing was marvellous, it truly was. Saving is always the way to go, those Klarna things are the work of some really evil person, they are dreadful. I hope you are having a great time with your Mum 😊

[@CassieThorpe]

Yes!!!! I feel you! Nothing like unwrapping that’s stunning new MacBook 🤤 💖

[@Nablaboy]

I feel like we were talking one on one, this felt so raw and I love how you’re not scared to talk money, I’ve noticed some other KZbinrs are scared to be open with their viewers about the statistics of it all

[@JaciraDeMatos]

[@sfjayhawk5810]

Yes! As soon as I see businesses offering this (especially lux resale sites), I just cannot shop w them anymore. It’s robbery and pushing addiction on ppl.

[@zeee4384]

Thank you for sharing your perspective! Absolutely love your thoughts and I’ve always felt the same. It’s truly important for people to enjoy luxury based on their financial capacity and be financially responsible. At the end of the day we can live without it and it’s about truly enjoying the things you really love as long as it does not harm you financially. Keep up the great work Cassie! ❤️

I love this video. I think it is great that you understand that people should value your videos for more than just unboxing and hauls. I like how you can enjoy the world of luxury fashion without owning every hot trendy piece. You are very genuine and intentional in your purchases and that is great!

[@lizp.6585]

Just discovered this video, so good! Regarding unboxing - different perspective: I am not into it because at that moment no true evaluation can be communicated about what it's like using the bag, the leather creasing, the hardware, the way it carries, what fits in it etc.

[@michelleandre1229]

Always appreciate how open and helpful you are to us!!!!!

[@CassieThorpe]

Thanks Michelle, it’s very important to me 💖

[@zabindhanji]

Thank you for this video. I have wondered how you and other influencers who purchase designer pieces can afford them. Your story is pretty realistic. I too try and budget for my purchases, but have been guilty of succumbing to instant gratification and buying first and feeling regret later. I am working on a plan to get my credit card debt paid off over the next couple of months so that I can once again feel at peace, and then if I make a purchase, I will feel the thrill of 100% guilt free so that I can truly enjoy that item.

[@hesterprynne5965]

Awesome video, Cassie. I'll be honest. Most KZbinrs have turned me off for one reason or another. As I've watched more of your videos, I've come to like you more, not less. Why? I love the authenticity. I don't feel like you're being deceitful, two-faced, etc. You are real. Please keep it that way. Also you don't unbox hauls every week. Thanks for thinking of fun content to show us...these videos take more work and we appreciate it!

[@CassieThorpe]

Thank you so so much!! I’m so glad you appreciate that and don’t worry I don’t plan on changing - Nii is around to make sure that doesn’t happen 😂🙌🏽💖

[@leahslux6726]

You are just one of 3 youtubers I still follow. Your content is out of this world, you keep it real. I have noticed some youtubers who buy unbox just to get views then they return the items. They find fault on how the Chanel, Gucci or Dior bag is poorly made is all just to get more views, I love the fact that you buy what you love and you keep and use them

[@CassieThorpe]

Thank you for sticking with me 🙏🏽💖 it’s a shame when luxury is treated like nothing when the whole point of it is to be special and exciting 💕

[@cindybrooks7227]

[@jaykay4479]

I love your collection Cassie. So many youtubers have the same collection more or less and its usually safe pieces. I understand why but its not fun to watch. Your collection is colorful, bold and unique.

[@CassieThorpe]

Thank you! I’m so glad you like my collection - I like to go for some different pieces 🙈💖

[@ea1420]

One of the reasons I enjoy your channel is that I never feel that you buy things to unbox them and then return them later. You unbox things, and then I see you use those items. I have stopped watching KZbin channels that have a lot of unboxing and either the item goes into a closet to never been seen or the item is returned. In the rare occasion I buy a luxury piece I have to use it. I can’t justify the price without using it regularly. Plus, I love your comment about influences receiving credit from sponsorships in addition to being paid. I think most influencers aren’t very transparent about that fact, which truly does lead people to wonder how on earth that person can order multiple bags, SLG, shoes, etc. so regularly.

[@CassieThorpe]

That’s such a shame - I feel like at that point luxury is no longer fun when you never see them use the items again - you should enjoy using the items etc, otherwise what’s the point 🙈🙈 glad you enjoyed the video 💖💖

[@sandyholland501]

Thanks Cassie! I agree that paying for lux outright is the only way to go. What makes this difficult is when these brands have massive price increases back to back to back. It’s like dangling a carrot in front of a horse while on its back; it’s so close but just out of reach. No matter, I’ll keep saving. 💗

[@CassieThorpe]

I know what you mean - it can be really demotivating 🥺

[@fashiongr8_co178]

You're not the only one who's a hermit. My strategy to allow myself to buy luxury items is to buy from online outlets. There are several sites in Italy, Germany and the UK that have great discounts on older collections. They add new products every week, but I never buy more than I can pay cash.

[@staciabaek3503]

Thanks for sharing. As always, you keep it real and it’s so refreshing. I love that you included the social media aspect because let’s face it, most you tubers/ influencers don’t even mention that. Passion for fashion and luxury is true to you.

I tried it on, couldn't justify the price, and didn't feel the magic because I was so stressed about having bought it and sent it back. and having used affirm I ended up spending $60 just to try the damn bag on since the interest starting racking up immediately 🙃

[@CassieThorpe]

Arghh so sorry you went through that stress but at least it was $60, though it was a pricey lesson - now you know. I think ah one point or another we’ve all made stupid money decisions (me with my 5 credit card phase 🤦🏽‍♀️) but as long as you learn from it, it doesn’t matter 💖💖

@@CassieThorpe thank you for such a thoughtful response, cassie! I feel like I forgot to get to my final point which was to say i’m glad you brought up not using “buy now, pay later” companies because usually that just means it’s not the smartest financial decision. but you’re totally right!

Smart budgeting got me out of credit card debt. I did a 3 month no-buy and subsequent low buy.

Start investing in some stock, some crypto and maybe some freelance work on the side.

[@jf7222]

Cassie, I love your channel. Being a student, I do not have a lot of disposible income. But you know what, I still love spending money, and if that means to spend it on less expensive things and buy a coat for 100€ instead of 1000€ it still makes me happy. I was in the phase of buying items I loved so much but then didn’t even wear because I couldn’t enjoy them because I felt guilty of overspending. And well, last summer I bought a wallet on sale for 39€ from Liebeskind, and although on the luxury scale it is nowhere near, let’s say Chanel for example, it’s the one item I enjoy the most. And to me that’s what it’s all about.

Thanks Cassie for this video. I think it’s informative and like you said it’s for fun, luxury items aren’t fun when your broke and homeless because we spent all our money on Chanel and Hermes. (Chic homeless) and also buying things for the hype is never a good idea.

A wonderfully honest video that’s gives a reality check to many people who wish for this life. I know I may not be buying tons but I am getting a Birkin as my lifetime buy!

I love how the future Cassie explaining and clarifying things. Lots of love ❤

[@CassieThorpe]

Haha I always get so into the video that sometimes I forget things 😂💖

[@priyankasardana6420]

My biggest takeaway - ‘I can’t have it all’. And why do I need to anyways! If only we could all accept this in all actuality… Wow! You did great Cassie. I’m sure most of us will be inspired to redo our maths 💵💵💵 ❤️Mindful spender vibes ❤️🙌🏻

[@CassieThorpe]

My maths always needs re-doing 🙈😂 glad you enjoyed it though 💖💖

[@doney1996]

Love love love this video! Thanks Cassie! As a current college student I have always saved my hard earned money to buy luxury items. From starting out with luxury perfumes to sunglasses to then bags! You inspire me and many others!

[@CassieThorpe]

Stating saving towards things you love in college is amazing! 🙌🏽💖💖 you’re so sweet thank you!

[@junebug9224]

Thank you soooo soooo much for doing this vid. Yeah I am mentally asking you sometimes Girl how do you afford all of this?!?!! And the social media aspect. Totally makes sense. And credit cards. Yeah I will use them, but 80% or more of an item is already saved up for-Chanel and LV and their wretched price increases. Yessss LTR with my bags and love what you buy-like your love for your trainers. And supporting the economy, my fave for sure! But yeah all my bills are paid (paid off…we’re making progress-how did you get your CC paid off, if I can ask?) But overall making smart purchases (like luxury is smart 😂) that I’ll love and good pieces I can enjoy for years, and sell if/when I want to 💖 June
