How to Save $10K Effortlessly: 4 Saving Tips

[@DominicQuintanilla]

Tracking finances is like tracking your fitness progress. If you don't, it's almost impossible to notice the changes yourself until you look at before and after pictures

[@LycorisThe]

Finance is also similar to fitness in that you only make progress equal to your effort and both are a gradual improvement, not immediate result.

Hi Nischa! 😊 I’ve been watching your content for about 6 months now and it has helped me tremendously in improving my personal financial health! You’ve found the “sweet spot” of combining productivity tools with financial literacy- quite a niche you’ve landed on! And I’m American and we love British accents lol 😂 so I find it so pleasing to listen to you talk about finances! Keep shining - your drive , consistency and passion is so inspiring ! 🎉

[@nischa]

Thank you!

[@MannyL04]

Your videos are great. Back in the end of November when you did your 3 courses, it was a great reminder that I’m doing great with my finances. I realized I invest/save 60% of my monthly income into my savings accounts and IUL , while the remaining 40% goes to bills, going out, traveling, food, date nights, and clothing. I track my money every month on a calendar that I have, what comes in and out, and it’s been great for me to see where my money goes. Budgeting isn’t the most fun thing to do but it really does help and give an idea how you spend your money. I’m grateful I’m able to do this. It’s never late to start.

1:18 This expansion of expenses is also called "lifestyle creep." A lot of it is driven by external prompting: comparing yourself to your neighbors, or family/friends encouraging more spending.

Tip - if you are going to have takeaway, go to the outlet and pay cash. Paying through an app for delivery is sometimes up to 50% more expensive. Even ordering via an app for you to pickup can be more expensive. I'm saving enough each month doing this to have an additional takeaway for free if I chose to (I don't).

[@alistairsmith2901]

Honestly I have found that takeaways lately are just crap. Why do I keep ordering from them? Laziness/convenience. What do you get in return for having a takeaway, you generally feel like crap for the rest of the night and probably the next morning too. But I agree with your point. When we decided to try our local Chinese in years we couldn't believe how much cheaper it was and weirdly enough the food tasted way better too. But still an unnecessary cost that makes you feel like poo often mentally and physically... But as I stated before... Laziness is my main problem in life.

[@Abdul_Rahman86]

Great video. My approach is. 10k divided by 12 is 833. The moment I get paid. 1)Invest £833 lump sum into a SIPP. 2) pay bills. 3) enjoy what’s left. 4) repeat 12 times 😂

[@LK-ol6pr]

So nothing unusual.

[@masterdon187]

An average salary of £30k gives you around £2k a month after rent/mortgage and bills you're barely left with £800. Unfortunately half the UK population can't even save £500 a month, especially if you have mouths to feed.

[@carinaadams6797]

I was doing £735 and living very frugally but now I have no job, so…..

[@Station9.75]

@@masterdon187- The average isn’t all that useful either because it’s not a “real world” figure. The vast majority of the working class are no where near £30k a year. I’m around half that for example.

[@masterdon187]

@@Station9.75 if you're earning almost half of minimum wage and you're past the age of 21 you're getting taken advantage of. There's plenty of minimum wage jobs going around, keep applying you'll eventually get accepted and get at least £7k raise

[@ToNy97one]

This Channel changed my mindset and my life forever. Thank you

[@adelesonora9681]

Another great vid nischa. Thank you! I keep an excel spreadsheet for my finances and several times a year set myself a GOAL of $ to come out of the line items and go into savings. Like even $50 or $100. Then if I have 20 categories of spending, if I can cut out just $5 from each, its easier to come up with more to save. If I don't set myself a goal number then its harder.

[@wealth.harvest]

To save $10,000 quickly in 2024: 1. Create a strict budget and track expenses. 2. Eliminate unnecessary expenditures, like dining out. 3 .Increase income through side gigs or overtime. 4. Automate savings to a high-interest account. 5. Cut down on utilities and subscriptions. 6. Shop smarter using discounts and bulk purchases. 7. Prioritize high-interest debt repayment.

[@dallassukerkin6878]

Also ... and quite importantly ... earn enough so that you can survive not spending 10k of what you earn! :lol: I love Nischa to bits and her content is wonderfully done but I am, in general, 'over' finance gurus on the 'Tinternet. The whole niche is populated by folk who think 100k a year is a low salary!

[@leahnjokik.1450]

Yes I would love to see your video on yearly evaluation. Thanks for this powerful inspirational video. God bless you.

[@NicholasBall130]

One lesson I've learnt from billionaires is to always put your money to work, and diversifying your investments. I'm planning to invest about $30k of my savings in stocks this year, and I hope I make profits.

[@StacieBMui]

You are right. The best approach I feel is to diversify investments- by spreading investments across different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.

[@StocksWolf752]

That makes sense. I’ve been using a financial market expert for two years now and I own a six-figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. I want to diversify more this year, though.

[@cowell621]

Could you kindly elaborate on the advisor's background and qualifications?

[@StocksWolf752]

Finding financial advisors like Sonya Lee Mitchell who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

Yes, I do love Monzo! It's nice for me and I love the analytics! I do like the round-ups; they really work well.

[@CharleneCong]

Great insights Nisha! One approach I've found particularly helpful for me is using automated savings plans. By setting up automatic transfers to a savings or investment account, you effectively "pay yourself first." This not only ensures consistent savings growth but also reduces the temptation to spend impulsively. Also exploring high-interest savings accounts or low-risk investments can provide a boost to your savings through compounding interest over time. Keep up the fantastic work!

This is very good advice! I would add that changing your mindset around money is the most important change one can make... How most people live: 1. Trade time for money 2. Use money to buy stuff 3. Save remainder 4. Repeat What wealthy people do: 1. Trade knowledge for equity 2. Use equity as leverage to acquire more equity 3. Use equity to buy your time back

a year in review has helped me so much! At the start of last year I started tracking how much I REALLY spend on health insurance (premiums+gaps) and how much this compares to how much I would have spent if I didn't have private health insurance at all.. was VERY insightful to say the least!

Love these. What’s helped me recently is keeping a list of in and out items. For me those are non-food purchases as I don’t overdo that. Then each month I look at what I brought in and review whether it was a useful purchase. It’s helped me identify things I don’t value and it makes me think twice before doing an Amazon purchase.

Parkinson's Law is actually not a scientifc method. I wasn't familiar with the term, so I've searched and I got the point but it depends on personality and circumstances. So I guess the point is to avoid procrastination. Cal Newport mentioned in one of his books that we should challenge ourselves, like if we know we will need 3 hours for a working acitvity, we should take an hour and try to achieve it. Maybe we will succeed, maybe not, but it's a good exercise I practice myself. 🙂
