How to Stop Spending SO FREAKIN MUCH | The Ultimate QUICK Money Saving Hack

[@villeguezk28]

Saving money is addictive honestly. Sometimes it’s hard at first but it feels good watching the bank account grow. The bigger the savings the better I feel about sacrificing the unnecessary spending!

[@KourttneyL]

KALENE I would love to get to the part where it’s addicting 😭😂😂

[@regvibe835]

Yes indeed saving is very crucial

[@villeguezk28]

Kourttney L it took me a while honestly, I used to be tempted to use it whenever I saw something I liked. I’d say oh I’ll use just $50 and spoil myself! No girl, what helped me? Honestly every time I see something I want really bad, I think to myself, is this going to benefit me? Is this going to push me further for my goal? If it pushes me further, it’s not worth it. It actually feels like I’m letting my “future self” down when I touch my savings. It’s money you worked hard for!

[@leahmcdermott4189]

I agree. I’m super addicted to saving money, especially when I was working a lot. I would be too tired and busy to spend money. I saved a tonne. Now I’ve dropped my job cause uni is super intense, & I’m always stress eating and buying KFC & Mc’D’s. It’s sooo hard. I’m sooo mad how I’ve kinda slipped off with my savings and spending sooo much 🙄🙄

[@user-in3fd5tk1v]

True and when you're done with saving, It's hard to spend tbh

[@imaniblanchard4682]

I definitely needed these tips. I have a bad spending habit ($200 AT LEAST per day) and I realized it’s due to boredom. Thanks again for the great tips!

[@Inoudidntask4my2cent]

I over grocery shop and then I don't feel like cooking😢

[@ErinOnDemand]

Girl don’t we all smh. Gotta really be mindful in those aisles lol. Xo E

[@MarGoGoBootz]

Girl me tooo..... so hard

[@savingqueenie8056]

Inoudidntask4my2cent oh boy. Sometimes I’m depressed about how much I spend on grocery and don’t feel to cook which is bad because then I would have to buy food which is wasting money unnecessarily and then my grocery bill is so high. Things are so expensive. It’s unbelievable. Soon I’m not sure if I’ll be able to afford groceries due to this high cost of living.

[@savingqueenie8056]

KinuGoddess777 omg that’s me. Buying produce and then not getting to cook all of it and then get it spoils. It breaks my heart cuz of how much I spend on it. I think I should consider the frozen too. I just like the fresh but then it spoils on me 😰

[@3layerzdeep]

lolz!!!

[@PlainAndChelsea]

In order for me to focus on NOT spending, I focus on other things. Working out, my budget, keeping myself busy with daily chores. They all keep me from distracting myself with stupid purchases. I also pack my lunch bag the day before and set my coffee machine up the night before. It’s helped me a lot for the past two weeks I’ve only spent $20 on eating out and that’s really good for me.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Chelseabellex0 That’s AMAZING!!! those are all great tips. Thanks for sharing xo E

[@quetta561]

That's what I do now minus the working out lol.. keep it going my plan is 2 retire at an early age and 2 stop living 4rm check 2 check. Stop making the rich richer they don't care about us "small people's anyway". Good luck don't give up or give in

[@dlhilliardful]

Love the focus on other things tip! Thank you for sharing.

[@danashaw8463]

TFS I'm going to try this

[@Chiblie7]

I did a spending freeze during the first quarter of 2019. I wanted to be mindful of the reasons I was spending money and my triggers. I learned a LOT about myself and use the things I have vs just buying something new because I’m bored tired or lonely. Everytime I saw something I had the urge to buy, I wrote it down. I then decided I needed to invest in a 2 new pairs of versatile pants. During my freeze I was able to save up for a trip to Puerto Rico ($800 yep). This became a lifestyle, I spend much more wisely now.

[@ErinOnDemand]

THAT'S AMAZING!! So inspiring. Thank you for watching and sharing. Hope you stick around xo E

[@Vanessa_Labella]

I needed to hear this . Spending my money on food is a bad habit for me . I am going to try this technique . Thanks for the inspiration !! ✨

[@ErinOnDemand]

It's so tempting! Yes try it and let me know if it works for you! xo E

[@Kim.firsttimemomlife]

Same here! Living really minimalistic but since I’m in the USA I keep on eating out 🙈🙊

[@_.a.amina_.456]

same ubereats is killing me😭

[@mrsellison77]

Girl you so right we spend way too much "unnecessary" spending . I once checked my account and realized I had visited McDonald's everyday that week 😲.....bad spending also leads to other issues too. Sometimes we have to find the root of the problem as well. But ❤ your content. Faithful new subbie over here🙌😊

[@LoveeKmakeupTV]

Day 2 of spending freeze, the 5.77 in my account is laughing at me while i eat beans and rice.... Yet I havent spent.

[@ErinOnDemand]

You go girl!!!! xo E

[@Harmony_Aesthetics]

I’m definitely guilty of over shopping for groceries!!! Thanks for sharing this video

[@hannahjordan9958]

I'm 14 with no money but I'm ready to start saving.

[@sharonflonnory3078]

Yes! I spent to much money during this pandemic. I needed to hear this....online shopping is killing my budget🤦🏾‍♀️

[@lala40121]

Yes! I spend way less when I use cash instead of debit. My friends talked me into using a debit card because it is "safer" and carrying cash is "played out" 3 months later, I was out of 100s of dollars and can't remember where it went. I spend less if I can feel and see my money, I leave the cards at home for emergencies and travel purposes ONLY. I only carry what I need for that day and some days, I don't carry any money on purpose.

[@jazzy8766]

La'Rose I’m about to do this because I’m tired of spending

[@xMissdiorcherie]

I thought I was the only person doing this haha I leave my card at home on purpose 🤣

[@camillethomas9922]

I've done this several times over the last few years, but this video came just in time because it's time to put another freeze on myself. I love how conscious it makes me and the discipline I gain from it. It turned me into a saver. Thanks for posting this video!

[@ErinOnDemand]

Camille Thomas LOVE THAT! Yes it makes you so conscious about you ping points of spending. Thanks for commenting Camille! Hope you stick around xo E

[@CoachCollo]

I did this for a month an realized I only needed fuel for my car as I go to work, because I carry packed lunch and breakfast from home. its an eye opener

[@zerosn0se]

i find that rewarding yourself for not spending during the pay period is helpful at least for me. if i set a goal to not spend money for a certain amount of time, i think of a reward for the end of it and it feels nice to have that reward especially when you know you earned it.

[@natanalves6400]

That's so true. I have always been a very frugal person, but until a few months ago I hadn't realized that I was over grocery shopping

[@DASHBARKS]

This was helpful!! I need you to make a video on self-discipline TIPS and TRICKS to trick yourself into being an adult lol I love your videos!! I want to try a spending freeze for 1 week first then more!

[@DanielCastillo-nu3ym]

I agree with everything you said. I always feel like I'm on a good track when I hear advice that I already have been using for years.

[@danidtv5823]

Great saving tips. I recently did a savings challenge and was able to save $1300 a month by cutting down my monthly bills and "frivolous" spending. Keep up the good work!!!

[@lionessrising]

I’ve been doing this since the start of the year and I’ve saved thousands in my savings so far. Like I am being resourceful this week with food. I’m eating what’s at home this week. The only thing I plan to buy is water and fruits. Using cash envelopes has been a game changer for me too. I plan my splurges to avoid impulse shopping.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Lioness Rising that is amazing!! Thanks for sharing. Cash envelopes is a great idea! Old school methods be workinnn lol. Xo E

[@RoxieLove]

Cutting off the Apple Pay, no more target runs and leaving cards at home for the next week. It’s def draining seeing all your money being spent on food and clothes that aren’t needed. Love this! When I tell you this was right on time?!! New subscriber!

[@cherylrougeau3824]

Hi Erin, I started my spending freeze at the beginning of the year. I’m so happy that someone put this out here. We do spend too much money. Thanks! I will continue to look for your videos.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Thanks so much for watching! That's amazing - I hope it's going well for you! xo E

[@elizabethkass49]

That's so true. I always buy more at the grocery store. I do need to stop and make use of What I have. Love the video so far

[@itsqueendebae]

I think I’m definitely going to start doing spending freezes maybe once every 3 weeks or twice a month (considering I live at home and don’t have an expenses other then a phone bill) so all my spending is random little things anyways, I want to save now so I can secure my future later when I do have bills and such!! These videos are so helpful

[@ErinOnDemand]

So glad they've been helpful for you Queen! xo E

[@atouchofbalance1336]

I really like the way Jordan Page breaks down a budget and how to grocery shop

[@Marshay]

I love the background of your video, your lighting, tone and information.

[@dlhilliardful]

Love the cushion idea! I think it can help me stay on target with the spending freeze.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Yes! It helps it not feel so extreme! xo E

[@scotttrujillo1989]

I definitely want to try it out by not spending all week. Me and my girl are smart with our money to begin with but your very intelligent and are smart with your money. We save and only spend when we need it. We do have fun on the side and you gotta live life too. I've been taught also to not spend money you don't have! Keep up the great work and pass it on 👍

[@tatattaylor]

Definitely doing this for 2023. I have a horrible eating out and online shopping habit. This is why I can't move out and get my own place and lose weight. This year, I'm taking a drastic overhaul over my finances and health. Love this video.

[@mandykwiatkowski2653]

Honestly, this helped open my eyes and really got me to thinking about what I actually spend my pay check on. Thank you so much. Everything you said about spending on unnecessary things related to my habits. I’m definitely going to try the spending freeze! 🤞🏼

[@meganhopkins9788]

You should have more subscribers. But people don’t like positive stuff like this

[@ErinOnDemand]

Thank you so much! I started not too long ago but my subscribers are growing! Feel free to share it xo E

[@deec121]

[@annadavis6361]

Lmbo….. you got me on the online spending! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ErinOnDemand]

Lol! Online shopping got all of us at one point.

[@lorealdrayton6164]

I started writing checks again a bit.....i noticed that the more I write down the "debt" on my check book ledger, the more i pass up on things.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Loreal Drayton oooh that’s a good one! It’s just so hard to find places that still take checks lol.

[@kimw.6473]

Yes!! I will start my freezer May 1 until July 1. Pray for me 🙏

[@violetcarter1921]

Me too...I wish you well

[@amberneider7453]

how is it going? Its almost July! I'm thinking if doing this.

[@bzmom85]

I like your vlog. Its straight to the point, concise and genuine. Keep on vlogging. Thank you for ypur advice! From the Philippines.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate you xo E

[@ErinOnDemand]

Great advise Lisa! Those are HUGE ways to cut back on spending. Thanks for your input! xo E

[@millsaaron20]

I. Know I'm late but I'm trying 7 day freeze starting today. This actually is this best advice I've heard, thank you.

[@briam143_]

Love this. I just started my freeze the beginning of the month and it’s going great so far! I only eat out if someone else paying lmao

[@tonysteel1377]

BriAmour :::: 😂😁...!!!!!

[@ErinOnDemand]

BriAmour 😂😂😂 aye, they aren’t your coins so that works too lol. Keep the freeze up! Lmk how it goes by the end. Xo E

[@quetta561]

BriAmour that's right I was invited to sky zone I said NOPE that's not in my budget

[@sharstarg2414]

Sooo happy this was recommended to me!❤️My hubby is a saver & Im the spender🤦🏽‍♀️😩. Gotta do way better especially since I wanna start a business👍🏾🤔😉

[@ErinOnDemand]

Yes girl! Time to crack down and get serious! Hope this helps xo E

[@sharstarg2414]

Erin On Demand thank u!

[@savingqueenie8056]

Sharstar G and I’m the saver and my hubby the spender hmmm

[@ItsBeautifulMe16]

I’m going to do a spend freeze this week! This sounds like a great way to save money and only buy what you absolutely need.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Agreed! I love doing them every so often. I'm glad this video inspired you to try it out too. xx

[@annadavis6361]

Well done ladybug! ❤ starting today until I go on vacation Feb 2nd🎉

[@ErinOnDemand]

You got this Anna! It'll be worth it in the end!

[@INTERESTEDINFORMEDINSPIRED]

Girl! The groceries is it. How many times I write a list for groceries, only to get back home to realize I forgot eggs or toilet papers, basic items! Lol ❤️ this. I made a video on this too about 3 months back.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Yes! We deffff overspend on groceries! I will check your video out :). xo E

[@qualitylawncare3367]

thanks for the motivation I'm starting a 7 day spending freeze today

[@soniaestrada8190]

Definitely going to try this out. Thanks for giving us all these great tips

[@Lucky-et8cx]

I hate wasting food. So I only buy food I will cook on that week. This helps me save money as well.

[@13yawnie]

Thank goodness for this video! Been spending like crazy during this pandemic and I’ve failed at every attempt to save. I’m gonna try this out this is great advice thanks 😊

[@AliciaWilliams]

I sure needed this video. To be honest, window online helps me because I love shopping but if I put everything in my cart I really think if I really need it but I still get my shopping fix in

[@ErinOnDemand]

Alicia Williams Really?! Online window shopping is too tempting for me (😂) but that’s good that you can handle it!

[@Sapphire_Moonlight927]

I'm the same way. I'll take an entire day to really make a decision about if I really need it if I'm shopping online. If i'm in the store I'm more likely to buy on impulse. I started unsubscribing to store sale emails so there's no temptation though.

[@ryanrenae]

Omg I’m late to the party but I’m definitely going to try this. I definitely need to get my savings & weekly spending in order.

[@mihaiuhh]

i spend so so so much money unnecessarily! i just got to your video so i'm gonna try freeze my spendings for 2 weeks to start with. thank you so much for your advice! wish me luck! 🤩

[@3layerzdeep]

I been on freeze 4 ever...I watch my money very well.. I have 4 diff accounts all 4 diff things. I know what comes out of what account at all times.. I have my holy grail budget book that has literally changed my financial life over the course of just a year. that notebook has saved my financial life.

[@heathernugent1760]

Well, I have to subscribe to you now because you caught me on all my little tricks...."no online shopping, either...", over-shopping the grocery store.... yep.

[@heathernugent1760]

Seven day spending freeze to commence April 14th. I was trying to do a no spend month but I fell off the wagon last night, so my compromise is to start over, a little smaller, and achieve that success.

[@kyliedaly1306]

This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and I really love it. Definitely subscribing. Love the laid back personality, keep up the good work👍🏻

[@ErinOnDemand]

I am going on a spending freeze for the month of May!!

[@ErinOnDemand]

Yay!! I hope it goes amazingly! 🙌🏽

[@zerosn0se]

it’s a challenge but i like to go out to my favorite places to try some self control. sometimes that means walking out with what i came in with or even buying one small thing. the more i tell myself i need to start saving to move out soon after i graduate, the more motivated i am to save money.

[@lifeastoldbydrea]

Gonna try this for five months. I've been so horrible with my money since forever. Doing it to save as well as to gain some discipline.

[@lifebeyondthesalary2458]

I am on a spending freeze this month (not hubby, just me) & instead of giving myself an allowance I’m not allowing myself to buy anything that isn’t on the approved already list. Out to eat with our church group (once this month) & $10/family dinners on Wednesday nights (2 nights at home, 2 nights there). & groceries (milk and heavy cream, in a week or so). But for the most part? Eating down all of our reserves ESPECIALLY in our deep freeze (which desperately needs to be cleaned out) & all the fresh foods in both refrigerators! Beyond that? Selling the stuff we don’t need anymore.

[@emilymccool3558]

Love this video Erin!

[@kv1815]

Brilliant advice, thank you.

[@lipglosslover83]

Thank you so much ! I started this two weeks ago ... I literally never thought of saving money by not spending it lol ... and I’m going to enroll in keep the change
