How to Stop Wanting to Buy Stuff | Deinfluencing Yourself

[@shellbell8062]

My favourite point is the one about paying everything first and then deciding if your budget has the capacity for shopping. If you have loans, credit card bills etc you shouldn't be shopping; you're just digging yourself into a deeper hole. It's so easy to do when everything is accessible with a few clicks and you don't have a realistic perspective of how much you are spending.

[@Gemaryermus]

Couldn't agree more.

[@julialongo]

The wishlist really works, I often go back to my wishlist and find that I’ve changed my mind about the item !

[@anjelicaa]

A tip I have is to go into the dressing room & try on every single item you’re considering purchasing because even though you know your size it’s not the same as trying it on & seeing how the clothes lay on your body.

[@myhazyyyy8512]

heavy on the wishlists! as a thrifter, they helped me stop buying useless junk i've also made a rule that whenever i go thrifting, i donate things i don't wear. i think our generation is leaning towards hoarding tendencies with all the overconsumption. my grandpa was a hoarder and it is scary! glad influencers like you are promoting safe habits ❤

[@jenntruong6023]

Good tips overall! I have always made wishlists and I also save up for my shopping trips! Those shopping trips usually happen for my birthday, Black Friday, Christmas, and Mother's Day!

[@violetteg.1709]

I've been making wishlists since 2018 and can hands down say this has helped my spending SO much. As always, love all of your tips Gemary. You're a great influence on the internet, thank you for another great video!

[@Gemaryermus]

Yessss, wishlists help me TREMENDOUSLY. & tysm 🥹🤍

[@Maybequizz]

It had been a while since I watched your channel. I don't know how to explain it but you seem more mature and confident now ❤

[@alanascialo808]

This video title is literally THE thing I need to work on this year. Thank you Gemary!!!

[@Gemaryermus]

Let’s start 2024 off STRONG! 💪🏻 you got this.

[@coronnss]

The timing of this video is so perfect! Have you ever considered making a video on how you organize your finances/save? If so, this would definitely be a video I would enjoy seeing in the future.

[@Gemaryermus]

Yess, I’ll put something together for a future video 🤍🤍

[@hermig1711]

Just came across this video and it was a good reminder to not get sucked into buying things that aren't for my body type - though I admire other's aesthetics, I have come into the awareness that I can admire things but I don't have to own them if the aesthetic doesn't match me. I'm still figuring out what does but that will come with time. Thanks for your tips!

[@Loveroflifee]

Please continue to make these! Such great advice thank you! ❤️

[@Gemaryermus]

Thank you! Will do!

[@zozofab02]

Thank you for posting this. I needed this as a guide for more proactive tips. I started cutting down consumption last year in all categories. I got much better and am trying to remain consistent in this new year 💕😤.

[@Gemaryermus]

You got this!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@zozofab02]

@@Gemaryermus Thank you 😤💪🏽. I’m definitely going to try lol 😂

[@thisisme6137]

YES, YES, YES... tysm, Gemary! ❤

[@lgreen2605]

I am influenced to buy this green too!

[@reggieb5145]

Thank you I really needed this message to be reminded to focus on my own body type

[@z-6517]

What you said around 4:20 is very true and I use this even with makeup/beauty. Using seasonal color analysis has helped a lot.

[@Gemaryermus]

Such a good point. I love my light neutrals but darker colors and just colors in general work so much better for me! I want to do a future video on this.

[@z-6517]

You should definitely do it! I think the video would be amazing. It took me a long time for me to figure out my type because videos always made it seem that hair and eye color mattered a lot when figuring it out, but that's actually secondary according to some. So I went from thinking I was neutral, leaning warm to neutral, leaning slightly cool. My makeup looks 10x better and I don't get influenced as much on makeup. I just get inspired, or I get more discerning on what colors to pick. Even if they're not my exact type, I borrow from the whole season or sneak options from the other cool season. It's like I've saved more money but have gotten to know myself, and love myself.@@Gemaryermus

Thank you so much for this - I appreciate how your advice is against your interests

[@jasminetyxo]

Love your content so much!! This was so helpful 🖤

[@Gemaryermus]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mingomango1]

One thing I do if I want something but know I don't need it and can't justify buying it for myself is simply asking for it as a gift for my birthday or xmas. I only do this for close friends and family where I have a general sense for what their budget for a gift would be for me so I don't ask for something too expensive for their budget. It's been great because it eliminates the gifting anxiety a lot of people might have and I also know I will love what I get!

Gemary your videos don't show up on my feed anymore 😢. However I have to actually search for your name to get to see any new content 👍 Happy New Year ❤

[@Gemaryermus]

Aww man, yea idk why KZbin keeps doing that. Maybe try unsubscribing and re-subscribing + turning notifications on so that it refreshes your subscription? I’ve tried contacting KZbin about it and it’ impossible to get ahold of anyone. 😭🤍
