Habits of Frugal People Married Young | FRUGAL FEBRUARY

[@dogsdorulehazel9232]

My husband always says it’s easier to spend less money than it is to make more money.

[@OldWorldHome]

Smart man!

[@lindaplumley4060]

Dogsdorule Hazel - I’ve never heard that before, but isn’t it the truth!? Love that! I’ll be saying that now too. Lol

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

This is soooooo true! I try to encourage my son to save. The less you spend the more likely you can retire early. Why work just to keep mindless spending?

[@cooldesert30]

Words to live by.

[@patriciareeps3389]

Such great tips.my friend wanted to buy a set of dishes at a thrift store. Her husband refused to buy used. I told him when you go out to eat they don’t reserve plates just for him. He is eating off used dishes

[@OldWorldHome]

Great point!

[@susanf4857]

The same for "new" clothes. Most clothes have been tried on in stores by many people!

[@barbaram5214]

My aunt (dirt poor) used to say “ Eww! that’s unsanitary” when my mom mentioned buying used sheets and pillowcases at yard sales. My mom’s response was to ask if she brought her own sheets when she slept in a hotel.

[@paulacostello6912]

I've seen lots of your videos but this has to be my favourite. I hadn't even picked up on the fact that you're frugal. As a convert to frugality a couple of years ago, I encourage anyone who poo poos the idea to check out your beautiful home and your full, happy life. I'd bet you have healthier savings than they do too.

[@pjl2963]

The fresh face of a teenager...the sage mind of a 60 year old! As always, I am so impressed with your wisdom, Hilary! I'm looking forward to the rest of "Frugal February", and am already thinking ahead to March...perhaps you could do a "Mindful March?" lol. I love that you follow the mottos you shared toward the end of this video as a pattern for your spending. One of my favorites is, "Watch the pennies, and the dollars will take care of themselves." -Ben Franklin.

[@lanataliamaria]

Yay frugal Feb! My fave time of year :) I’m vlogging my frugal Feb this year too!

[@chlexiel.1022]

You are wise beyond your years Hilary, and I think you both married wisely, are a good match and are on the same page. 😊

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

I agree. My husband and I had the same mindset as Hilary and her husband. If you and your partner both have the same mindset it makes life so much easier. The trouble comes when one is a saver but the other is a spender.😫

[@newenglandcoast-b4p]

One tip I would like to share. If you have a car payment, when you have paid your last payment, save the amount of the payment in a savings account, every month (you won't miss it, you are already used to living without that money, monthly). You would be amazed how quickly the account grows. I was able to purchase a home, just from saving my car payment for a year and a half! I never finance anything, if I can't afford to buy it, I wait and save. The only payments I have are mortgage, utilities, food, insurance etc. I also pay a credit card, in FULL every month, it's important and convenient to have and use a card, but I also know whatever I charge, I have to pay in full. Great video, thanks.

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

Love Frugal February. Great and helpful ideas. My husband and I have been married 49 years and have never had or lived in debt except for our mortgage which has been paid off since 2000. We paid for college for our two sons so they could start life debt free.

[@dellnichols4625]

I’m older and I want you to know how valuable and wise your advice is! Spending time together and helping and receiving help from others has more than a financial benefit. You are modeling for your family the importance of giving. Giving is such a huge part of financial well-being, whether of money or time. Well done!

[@susanrobinson408]

As a 72 year old mom and grandma, I sure wish I had known many of these things years ago and had someone teach these skills to me. Great job, Hilary!!

[@janetta5827]

Dell and Susan, I couldn't agree with y'all more. I am of the older generation too and so wish I had known these things in my very early years. Hilary has given such good advice here and is so fortunate to know these things at her young age, also very generous of her to share what she has learned with others. Have a great day.

[@alexa574]

Thank you, great video! I find thrifted, second hand kids clothes not only saves so much money, but we are able to find better quality name brands that we wouldn't go to the department stores to pay full price. When our 2 girls were teenages, we would give them acylothing allowance and let them go to the mall to window shop to see what they were looking for, then head to thrift store to compare styles and prices. They then had a choice "where" they could buy their own clothes from,,,they always chose the thrift store. They saw they could get what needed, (usually better brands and quality), buy extras, buy books and still have money left over for themselves. Best strategy ever!

[@annw1395]

That's a great idea to have them check out the fashions and prices at the mall first, and then go to the thrift store.

[@TTaddicted]

Ooo!! I love this! I'm going through do this with my kids too!

[@themeganburns]

When you have been doing this for so long you don't even realize you are doing frugal things! Yes to all of this!

[@OldWorldHome]

That’s why I had to ask my husband, it’s hard to know what you do and don’t do when it’s just normal habits

[@poodlegirl55]

Looking back on financial decisions we made in our marriage the one that made the most impact on our senior years was when my husband changed jobs at age 40, had a big increase in salary and we decided as a couple to continue our current budget and lifestyle as it was "good enough". He had the extra money taken from his check and put in a savings plan. We didn't miss what we didn't see and never had. When you are old you never wish you had saved less.

[@simplifiedmommy9718]

Same here, secondhand first. It is amazing what you can find if you do a little digging. Also, if you want a kitchen gadget, give it a little bit and you will find them used for cheap. People get them for presents and don’t want and you reap the benefit.

[@lindalovescrafting4551]

The "Use It Up.." motto was a WW2 advertising campaign in 1944, To keep down prices and save resources. I was born just after the war and my mother quoted that slogan often. Good advice then, better advice now.

[@iamzeffyandilove2scr]

Hilary a good answer would be...did you know that Hotel sheets and towels are "used"!,

[@OldWorldHome]

Good point!

[@megan2176]

Also, even items in retail stores may have been "used" by people trying them on, and who's to say they showered that day, or wore underwear (sorry, grossed myself out just typing that!). Plus, thrifted items have been cleansed of the "fresh from factory" chemicals. Sooo many reasons to buy second hand. :)

[@DH-qz2so]

...and we eat off of USED dishes in restaurants, sit on a USED toilet in the mall, put forks in our mouths that have been USED before in restaurants, and used fabric napkins - USED before, to wipe our mouths there as well! I mentioned this to my friend, when she crinkled up her nose at my thrifted teapot, as she was telling me about her dinner out, the night before! LOL!

[@kathywinstead7460]

I was fortunate enough to work as an executive assistant for a Certified Financial Planner for eight years, and during that time I learned so much about finances and how to handle money. It changed my whole mindset about spending and saving! I married very young as well--unfortunately the marriage didn't last and am so grateful that I learned how to handle my own finances and continue to be able to be a strong, independent woman in my retirement years.

[@te4545]

Frugal February - I love this theme. My favourite tip was the one about helping others. Really that is the key here in so many ways. Having a frugal mindset really does free us up to focus on the important things which are the people in our life, not the things in our life. Most importantly it is a great gift you are giving to your children in modelling frugality and teaching them to have a healthy relationship with money. Thanks for the wonderful tips. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Have a lovely day 😊.

[@yvonnebrown1585]

Another timely topic. Well done. Many young people don't realize this and get into financial trouble. My 5 children often said they didn't realize we were poor compared to their friends. We made do. Crafts, homemade items. And made it fun.

[@wyoag12]

Such great advice! Diane in Denmark talked about a custom they have in her country where ladies get together and do a clothing swap. I think that’d be a fun way to freshen a wardrobe for free!

[@kellybarfoot8124]

I love the Frugal February theme! I believe money should be talked about and advice should be offered about money matters. I was 17 when I got married and my husband was 19 and we've been married 32 years. His dad arranged a financial advisor to visit us in the early days to give us help and he has remained a trusted help for all these years. We've made some really bad decisions with our finances and some really good ones over the years and are ready and able to pass on the things we've learned to our two daughters. I'm really enjoying your tips and experiences and really look forward to this months videos🙂

[@cherylT321]

That’s great. I wish my parents were like that. They would not talk about money with my two brothers or myself. Money was a taboo topic in our home. I didn’t know how much they earned, how they spent money, nothing! As a result, l made a lot of money mistakes when l was younger. It wasn’t until my late 40’s that l wised up, paid off my debt, and started living below my means! I’m now debt free and saving for retirement. I’m doing well, but the sad thing is, one of my brother’s never learned what he needed to in order to thrive. I have steered him and his wife to frugal channels, given them books on frugal living...they don’t want to know, so now l just leave them alone. You can’t help everyone!

[@Maililnajul]

As always, love what you say. Save first has always been our mantra for 51 years of marriage. We have always bought used things when they fit our life. But new is also good if you pay cash, don’t compromise quality and style and you know it will last. Our coffee table was bought in 1970 with wedding present money. It has made it through three sofas, two kids and 11 moves and is still something I love.

[@leesabrown3169]

Hilary, your frugality is honorable! I believe frugle means sensible, not cheap! I grew up with this norm, and have lived it in my adult life as well; I'm twice your age, I'm an adult! Even during very prosperous years, we have never been those that, "keep up with the Jones". Designer clothes? Sure, when they pay me to advertise their emblem, lol. Second hand, pre-loved, is recycling. Landfills are filling! "One man's trash, is another man's treasure"! Great video Hilary, thank you👍

[@maryohare4141]

I buy big bags of fruit or 3 for one price sale items and then share "thinking of you" boxes with young, single just starting out adults and elderly fixed income friends and family members. These are items they may not have bought because it was too much in bulk or would go bad quickly, like big bags of apples and oranges...but split with several people...all can enjoy a treat. I love to bake homemade sweet breads, cupcakes, cookies etc. ...but don't want to over indulge...so give most of what I bake as little "culinary hugs" to my college age or 20 somethings in my family ...and to elderly friends who love a treat, a visit and a cup of tea. It is a way to check on family, let them feel loved and to keep active baking and doing as I age and adapt to life during covid.

[@OldWorldHome]

That is so wonderful, those recipients I’m sure are immensely grateful 💓

[@michellemanzer5162]

Love the phrase you've used in regards to decluttering. "If everything is special, then nothing is special." Has really stuck with me.

[@gigieyre]

The key to me is that you are 2 like minded people working together. You both value the same thing and want to live a harmonious life. That's an important thing to model for your children (which you are both doing so well). That's why it works and isn't acrimonious.

[@annw1395]

First, I must say that I love your home furnishings -- mellow, harmonious, comfortable, peaceful, welcoming! Second: your advice is spot-on, and so needed in these times! But I might add that -- while you are courting / before you ever get married -- have many talks with your potential partner about money, how they spend, how they save, do they save now, etc. Make sure you would approach money management in a similar way, and TOGETHER. Make money decisions together. It won't work if one of you is a saver, and one is a spendthrift.

[@Dranma51]

You make so much sense! We’ve been married for 52 years and last month we bought our first new set of matching washer and dryer! But we always had them even though they were used. We raised 4 kids and always shopped second hand!

[@jeansmith5668]

Wonderful video Hilary. I am 62 and hubby is 65. We have always lived frugally and because of this we paid off our mortgage in 5 years. Any home improvements were done with cash. It was a real sacrifice on our part but well worth it.. we were also able to retire early. Honestly you really don’t need all the “stuff”.

[@heartofchocolate9433]

Waste not - want not. Save up to buy. Sometimes imagining what you want is better than buying it / having it! Great video Hillary your beautiful home and family are great examples.

[@virginiamarie2760]

I'm so impressed by your family and how you take care of the little things and how you help your husband by saving money and I was also 19 when I got married my husband was 20 years old know we been married for 46 years know and still so much in love we each other God bless you both

Hilary, I was looking at a pretty set of dishes that I really don't need on Ebay at the exact moment that you said you weren't tempted to buy more dishes etc. Needless to say I didn't buy! I would love for you to expand on the topic of practicing contentment with what you have. ♥️ Thank you !

[@briannah1915]

Also when you buy secondhand especially clothes not only do you save money it helps the charity shop you buy from, cut down on waste, not being that first consumer of the most often than not slave labor garmet.

So good Hilary. You know, not a lot of people are giving this advice nowadays...it all seems so materialistic lately. Thank you so much.

[@JolovesDecor]

Great tips. When my kids were home, every Thursday was leftover night. The kids and husband at the time knew it was all leftovers. We had some interesting dinners. Lol. However, through the years I learned how to create recipes with odds and ends. We only ate out once on the weekends as a family. The kids got to pick which meal. Here where I live there’s a mailbox type box in neighborhoods where people put books they no longer want. So anyone can look and take free books, and when you’re done you can put it back for someone else or keep. I also donated books myself. It’s basically trade, and replenish. Free reading, and very fun.

We also married young ( we were both 20) and have always lived on 1 income. Such great advice! It really offers so much freedom of choice for the future.

[@lindas8350]

Great advise Hilary, some people you can shout this from the rooftop and they won't do it. We have never liked to not have a savings. Ours has never been big savings but we don't like to be totally broke. Our income has never been big but we have learned to live like You & Dan. It took a few years to get my husband totally on board but he finally saw the benefits. I taught our children unless you are wealthy you can't have everything NEW. Sometimes have to be bought in the middle range as appliances or used if possible or even trade. They have learned this. Thanks Hilary! God Bless You and your Family.

[@marymartinez8047]

This video is PACKED with great advice! Wholeheartedly agree savings is a “bill” to be paid each month. We move a lot and the first place I always check into is our church; we need community and connection. Looking forward to the rest of Frugal February!

[@tooblessedtobestressed9715]

Buy nothing groups can be great! I've seen so many things that would be saved from a landfill simply because their owner wanted the newer, fancier model! I've even seen sealed food & drink items where they tried it but their household didn't like it but don't want it to go to waste. Thrifting is such a great way of life! I have a MUCH better quality of wardrobe because I thrift rather than buying new from places like Walmart. There are sooooooo many resources for anyone who wants to learn how to be more frugal and save their money! Heather xo

Yay for Buy Nothing groups! My local group has been a great place to post up so many things from our house: bookcases, DVDs, clothing, jewelery, kitchen items, books, shoes, toys, and even food! I've also picked up exercise equipment for free. I now have a pull up bar and a spin bike and all it cost was a little time and gas from my car. Such a cool concept. People offer up free things or post in hopes of finding something. A wonderful community

[@CountryLissa]

My parents both worked in the financial field so I heard a lot of your advice when growing up. If my sibling or I wanted something (besides the regular necessities) we were asked if we needed it or wanted it. If we wanted it, we had to save our own money and buy it. Good financial planning helped us both graduate from college with zero debt as well.

[@debbieholt8261]

Wonderful video Hillary, with great tips and advice! My only disagreement is in not being prepared for the unexpected when it comes to the food for your family. You have a Savings Account, Home Owners Insurance and Health Insurance! You need Food Insurance too because you never know when that Snowstorm keeps you housebound or a Tornado or Hurricane hits and you have lost power for sometimes up to weeks on end. God forbid, perhaps another nationwide shortage only this time it’s not Toilet Paper and Clorox wipes, it’s Food! You are excellent at making sure to eat all the food in your refrigerator and rotate any can goods you have, so I have no doubt you would be able to manage rotating a small emergency food storage of say up to 30 days or so. Something I’m glad I’ve done with all of the scary and unpredictability we’ve experienced this past year!

[@OldWorldHome]

I can see where you’re coming from, and yes we do keep some extras on hand, but I suppose I come from a standpoint where I’ve never experienced not being able to go out to a store and get food, despite any weather or other extreme situation. We stocked up a lot more back in the spring and found it to be unnecessary in the end. To each their own 💛

[@jackiebest5613]

What a wise young lady you are. Thanks for sharing

[@carolynb1413]

We are on the exact same page. I implemented almost every tip as a single frugal mom. Now with my boys in their 20s, I am very proud of their attitude of never needing an excess of things and being proud and content with what they have. Another thing I have done is to never subscribe to store emails or read flyers, that way all temptation to purchase items I don’t “really” need has been removed. Also by ordering my groceries online and picking up, I’m not tempted by the extras that are just that 😬. And of course as you do I choose fresh fruits and vegetables at a local market.

[@kaylaf1205]

Growing up with a frugal mom put me in the same mindset. My hubby came from the mountains of Virginia where having a real floor (not packed dirt) wasn't common. He's a bit of a hoarder but we both now have a house with only our mortgage and monthly bills (electric, gas, etc) I was blessed with parents that every few years would gift me their car ( after my divorce ) so I haven't had a car loan since my first marriage ended. We will have to get a new car in a couple yrs as both our cars are starting to have real problems, my parents are deceased now for the last 5 yrs and their last gift was their 2008 Envoy.

[@maryannchandonnait8094]

Great advice Hilary. I've always hated the "living beyond your means mentality". I used to see people at work coming in with designer coffee every day,knowing they really couldn't afford it. Sometimes the feeling of entitlement is used to justify these purchases but using your own ingenuity is so much more satisfying.

Our 10 year old TV stopped working. My husband investigated on KZbin for ideas about what might be wrong and fixed it! It needs a replacement sensor (but is currently working ok without it.) which he ordered for £20 online. It saved us buying a new TV which would have cost over £500!! KZbin is a great resource!😊

[@OldWorldHome]

Absolutely, that’s so great!!

[@jessicakoppers1121]

Yes 🙌 my fiancé just bought our first home and we really believe it was because we kept things simple and were frugal. We have learned to enjoy simple dates that don’t cost little to nothing and to set goals with savings as motivation to save more and reach dreams! And sometimes you have to say no to things but sometimes you can just encourage others to think simple like instead of having to go out to eat to spend time together why not have a board game night where everyone brings a treat! It’s all about collecting memories not things! 💕

I dream of being able to be a minamalist but I get so overwhelmed by it all. Thank God my daughter is not like me, she's a bit of a minimalist. Don't get me wrong my stuff is well taken care of but there's just too much of it. Your videos are very helpful and I've been watching the minimalist mom I believe it is so I have been getting motivated but moving alot slower these days not like when I was young, lol.

Great tips Hilary! My husband and I have been together since we were young too, 16. We try to live this way also, but lately we have been spending way too much, Costco mostly, on things we do not need and this was definitely the reminder I needed to get back on track so thank you for this video 😊

Yes,yes,yes! Great wisdom and great video ♥️. We are living debt free! God bless you and your sweet family.........💞😊

All great tips! I especially agree with doing laundry regularly to keep from buying new clothes. My schedule of washing clothes twice a week makes it so easy to always have options from what I already own. There simply isn't a need for more.

Perfect timing! My focus for February is to save money and this video is perfect! Thanks, Hilary :)

It’s so refreshing to see a young couple making such smart choices. It’s honestly like looking at my husband and myself 20 years ago. I wish all couples would have the same mindset. I pray that my son and his fiancé will make the same wise decisions.😊❤️🙏

Hillary thank you for the inspiration.

Good points and great tips! New clothes at the store have many times been tried on by other people. My teen girls shop almost exclusively at thrift stores for their clothes and get great deals.
