I love spending on experiences rather than on excessive clothes or shoes until I realise I have nothing decent to wear to work or to workout. Great video as usual.

[@garrettk7166]

100% this.

[@creative45630]

Yep. And I find experiences (holidays, day trips) tend to be much more expensive than buying things. I’d rather have an extra pair of nice shoes to enjoy every day than a trip that costs double the shoes and is over and done with in a day.

[@priskruger314]

​@@creative45630this is what I thought as well. It's due to Inflation and hopefully will improve :/ but for now it's stuff and free experiences such as a walk

[@cfloster]

Meeeeeeeee

[@daCubanaqt]

@@creative45630 ​​⁠ Agreed. The narrative being pushed now is to spend on experiences instead of things. You are still spending. Everything should be in balance with your budget. Live within your means and you will be financially happy.

[@danielkaniowski5694]

First tip was actually game changing for me. I stopped buying pointless tech items and clothes, and within under a year I cleared any credit card debt and saved half my deposit

[@abhitoshghongade5098]

I do following 1 use public transport mostly. 2 always plan my future purchases 3 Spend on good food habits and a hobby i have 4 Save rest of my income.

[@howellwong11]

Don't forget medical expenses.

[@BeastTitan213]

You make it sound so easy lol..

[@howellwong11]

Rent, utilities and taxes.

[@hoverauto2]

I definitely believe in spending on experiences rather than material things. However, I also believe that if a material thing genuinely makes your life easier and more efficient then it’s worth the buy.

[@GarySaini8]

Saving with a purpose, or meaning, is the biggest game changer. Mindless savings is hard, and quite frankly, dumb. But once a purpose is attached, it’s a huge motivator! Def recommend!

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

You say mindless saving is dumb, I say mindless spending is dumber.

[@GarySaini8]

@@gatekeeperboxing5898 both are dumb. I agree!

[@robyndismon394]

There is NO such thing as 'mindless saving'. You don't need an attachment, or a reason to save based on someone ELSE'S approval or attempt at a standard

I like to invest in interior decoration because I actually pay attention to it every single day. I actively enjoy my home environment every single day. But the things I don't actively focus on every day aren't really that worthy of spending money on.

[@literaturtee]

I've been basically binge watching your videos for the last two weeks. There are so many helpful tips, so much inspiration and motivation to finally deal with my finances in a more serious way. I really want to thank your for all the hard work you've put into them and for letting us learn from your experience and knowledge. You've built something special here!

[@nischa]

It's a real pleasure, thank you for being here!

I really like your videos and am trying to get my kids to watch them. I want them to have this knowledge at their age (18&15) unlike me who didn't have the same easy access to information at such an age. Thank you for spreading the word!

[@samdroid5851]

I am guilty of spending more on objects rather than experiences but i love how you analysed it and made it clear how experiences can be better. I guess sometimes i am too pessemistic that I wont enjoy things so objects seem a safer bet but I need to work on that outlook.

[@Andrometamorphose1]

I watch your videos almost every day, they're so inspiring and informative. Thank you for your work!

[@helenhoier1742]

Nischa - your advice to pay yourself a percentage of your income first has been game changing for me. I'm using this method to overpay my mortgage so thanks very much! 😊

[@enelrahcreivaj]

Meaning around the saving -- true! That's why I use this online bank that compartmentalizes which saving account is for what (e.g. household items, birthday gift for mother etc). Good advice, Nischa!

[@candro5510]

There is a big caveat on buying things! It's referring to buying good quality tools that you can regularly or you can use them only once in a while. You see, there is a big difference between having 5 Prada bags or having a good set of wrenches.

[@vasilivanov6977]

Very well said, managing and saving money is more important than making them

[@markatchison9974]

I agree. One can add value to life by taking more holidays, rather than renewing ones car, for instance. Both involve spending money, but holidays enrich the soul. The mind always wants more & can't be satisfied.

[@shannin91]

I really admire the reasons you pointed out behind savings. Inspiring!

[@veesvoyages]

Great video! I agree with the happiness cap. Experiences over material things is so much better!

[@peyarobbins]

Can't wait for this workshop!

[@kh884488]

Wonderful post and great content. Another big benefit of experiences is that they don't take up space. Having moved from one house to another recently, dealing with clutter can be just a big hassle. Especially when clutter involves large items that people don't necessarily want like furniture. Physical assets are a hassle. Even giving them away often costs time and effort to find someone willing to take the item.

Hi Nisha, love your videos. Can you do a video for aging fools who partied into their 40s, bought a house very late in life, are still mortgaged at 60 and have no pension!!! But are freelance and earn good money - for now! X

[@stucunningham1]

Also applies when relationships end around that age, and you suddenly have to buy another house from scratch, refurnish, life restart basically.

[@TiaChoudhury]

I absolutely love your videos. I never really invested any time in learning about these habits and finance in general and I paid for it big time. I was running a small business without tracking anything and before you know it everything came crashing down. I’ve restarted everything and I am now investing a good chunk of my time learning and applying good financial habits.

I really like all of your videos. They are all honestly very good. I absolutely loved your video about how to invest 1000$. Even though that question is not relevant for me, the video really showed that you are honest and don´t just go for whatever gets you the most clicks. Which is what most finance YTers do. Keep up the good work! I wish you all the best in your endevours!

As to saving on a regular basis, we find that having each paycheck deposited into our online savings account, then, at start of each month, transferring whatever we need for that month’s bills to our checking account.

[@angelintuition1962]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@cavandavidson1185]

Neither my wife nor I like holidays very much. Being stuck on a motorway or in an airport is hell on earth as far as we are concerned. The whole 'buy experiences not things' philosophy seems to revolve around going on ever more exotic trips. This should not be followed simplistically. Experience like growing your roses, seeing your friends and family, going for a country walk are far more satisfying for us. Having said that, we traveled constantly for years during our prime working life so we may be slightly different. I guess my point is that everyone is different and "experiences " are not necessarily for sale.

[@annamira3342]

I used to buy a lot of clothes, way too many. I got depressed and gained weight and had to buy some more. I had debts that I stopped paying. One day I bought my dog ​​and everything changed. I walk her a lot and I have less need to wear chic clothes. I joined the sport and lost weight. So I can wear the clothes from before. I only buy what I need and in two to three years my debts will be paid. My second son will start his studies in two years and his school will cost ten thousand euros per year. I have to figure out how I'm going to pay for it. Thank you for your video

Depends on what you buy. I like buying films to view at home, for the experience, like reading a book, I use certain quality films to learn about the human condition and learn from this art form empathy of others. So material goods depend on your usage. Many of us hoard things, for the buying dopamine, and don't use them, that is a waste.

Experiences can be overrated too. The money I’ve spent on ‘experiences’ that had great reviews but I found underwhelming, like trips, restaurants etc - vastly outnumber the money I’ve ‘wasted’ on stuff.

[@samroberts2066]

Circumstances are incredibly important as well i.e when saving for a house you have to get serious otherwise you won’t reach your goal. The hardest part for me is when you save to spend on house renovation meaning you do not have anything left for experiences or material items 🙃
