Things We Won’t Spend Money On In 2024 (with Minimal Mom)

[@AnnieDash]

Dawn is like everyone's best friend!! She is so encouraging and loving -- really spreads a message of hope and peace. Thank you, Rachel, for hosting her!

[@lydiah7184]

these two ladies are my favorite!

[@dotgietler]

Years ago, watching Dave, I thought I'd never get to the point where I could give generously. At 74 years with no debt at all and 2 grown children who have advanced medical degrees, my husband and I love to be able to give money to specific people we know who are deserving and need a little help. A thousand dollars to a waitress who needed a new car, a few thousand to a family for Christian school fees, a few thousand to a young lady to help with college costs, a thousand to a young violinist who could just use some supplemental income...these are a few of the pleasures of being debt-free. There was a time when I didn't spend 15 cents for a soda, because it seemed like a lot of money to me. That's how we are able now to bless worthy friends. Totally worth it!

This is awesome--just think of the difference you have made for the people you have helped.

[@lauragaddy8671]

I'm big on this. In previous life, my income outweighed my debt. I was in my 30s with one young son living a white collar life. But, I maintained my blue collar budget (plumbers daughter) so that one day I'd have money to a sare with young people. Unfortunately, a forced divorce from someone harmful upended that dynamic -- forced me into a mortgage. I'm almost 40 now, but hope to get back to place in which im well positioned to give.

[@miaaugustine4321]

Yes, the churches were really promoting Dave Ramsey. The problem I had was that most churches were not following the same principals. They borrow money for additions they don't need, etc. The only problem I have with these suggestions are the plugs for Target and Amazon. Why not buy less but spend the money at a small business owner. I do like the idea of thrift stores.

[@daisybuchanan5378]

I kept my paid off mini van for 13 years while I saved for another used car, which I paid cash for. Mortgage paid off, college tuitions paid with 529 funds, thank-you Lord !

[@noreen569]

When my kids were young and we wanted to go to a nicer restaurant, I would feed my boys dinner at home and let them order a dessert at the restaurant. We would have the waitress, bring out the desserts when they brought out our meals. They had already eaten at home so the waiting was easier on them and they were happy and excited about picking something out. The boys sat quietly enjoying their special desert and my husband and I were able to really enjoy our meal. I hope this helps someone.

[@JayJS1410]

We did the same when our kids were younger. Why should I pay 5x more for chicken nuggets???

[@maggiebates3941]

I’ve started to ask myself “if no one knew I was buying this and no one would see me owning it would I still want it?” This helps me say no to the “it” things that seemingly everyone has. If I’m buying it to impress people I shouldn’t be buying it!!!

I completely agree, I have to unfollow so many influencers because of their promotion of overconsumption for every holiday, season, event. They buy so many things and it seems wasteful and expensive!

[@chrisk4053]

I agree. I love one particular influencer and she often buys clothing in multiples if she likes different color selections. I used to be so interested but it seems wasteful and almost wrong when you think of some of the world that have no shoes or warm clothing. Of course it’s entertaining but recently has struck me as almost foolish

[@cajbaf]

You are sooo right. It is insane, the amount of money they spend on decor.

[@ginamcneal4435]

I've had to quit watching clothing haul videos ... It causes me to buy things I don't need and will be just fine without. I always think I will wear something but never do or only wear it once. So wasteful.

"This is the year of using everything up." Yes! I'm starting with the smallest quantity of each type of thing: almost empty shampoo, conditioner, lotion, cleaners, etc. I have way too many things that do the same task. Some need to be finished and tossed.

Two years ago I committed to using all of my hair products, regardless if liked them or not. If I bought it, I was going to use it. To this day, I still have stuff to use! I’ve had to buy the basics like shampoo and conditioner but apart from that its been so helpful to clear out what I had!

[@urbanfabchic]

I took my acrylic nails off and will only get pedicures in the Spring and Summer. Also, eating out less

[@maddylovesgood]

I love all of these! i actually like to take the opposite approach with my clothes now (not the kids of course I am talking about myself). I "invest" in high quality long lasting pieces that will last multiple years! I have thrifted majority of my denim and cashmere. If my size changes or I get sick of something, I donate them back. but Ive gotten really good at determining the quality of an item by looking at the fabric, stitching, brand, etc. :)

[@lydiah7184]

Microfiber is made of plastic but so it polyester, rayon, etc in all of those synthetic clothing materials. I try and focus on purchasing merino wool, cotton and other natural fiber clothing and home products for my family. You can find them for good prices if you look! I just purchased a rug for my living room for $130 and it was made of wool.

[@heatherrowe2979]

I didn't know that before watching this video, and was just about to order a set of microfiber towels from Amazon. Thank you for the information.

[@pollydolly9723]

I applaud your desire for more natural fabrics. It is important to note however that Rayon is semi- synthetic and therefore has both durable and less durable sides. The fabric is biodegradable and is made from renewable raw materials, namely cellulose from wood. Therefore the production of the rayon fabric does not contribute to the “plastic soup”.

[@lydiah7184]

@@pollydolly9723 I didn't know that, thank you.

[@househannah333]

After I had my son literally none of my clothing fit or things were stretched out and ruined from being pregnant. Something about starting from scratch with my clothes felt so amazing! I have a lot fewer items but I feel great in every I own, it's all on trend, fits well, and getting dressed is fun now!

[@azbuckeyegirl9523]

When we first got married I told my husband that I’d like to “invest” in good luggage. He asked me, “Are you planning on being able to sell it for more than you paid for it?” (I thought, “what are you talking about, of course not.”) Apparently, he only uses the words “invest or investment” for things that appreciate in value. It sounds kind harsh, but it’s helped me to keep my thinking straight concerning real spending. (And not trying to justify buying things as an “investment.”)

[@angelacastagna3824]

The thing I would agree with about “investing in good luggage” is that it will likely outlast cheap luggage several times over, thereby not adding to the overwhelming amount of stuff that keeps adding to our landfills which hurts the environment. I believe in spending/investing in higher quality items that will last.

[@bethcase5800]

I find the older I get less is more. I don’t have to follow the trends I decorate and dress with what I like. Took me a while to get to this way of thinking.

[@lisakallunki5042]

I agree with all of this. I really need to get some weight off but instead of getting a gym membership or new workout clothes at this point, I’ve just made a paper chart for me to track my activity and I’m using Apple Fitness videos which are free to me. Even though I’m super uncoordinated I am enjoying the dance videos and even if I’m not following the moves 100%, I’m still moving and burning calories!

I love artificial plants. They bring a feeling of nature. Also, I have a cat who destroys live plants. I’m retired and home all day. I like some decor for my eyes to look at. Brings me joy. I have decluttered so much old decor that I used to switch out. Now I keep and display only what I truly love. No need for excess. Dawn is so right about creating space in your kitchen cabinets. No more playing tetris with dishes.

[@linda1909]

When we visit cemeteries now it's dollar store to buy the artificial flowers. They last longer look when placing and cheaper

[@carmenscasita6390]

I started cleaning cabinets and using everything we have - shampoos., etc combining small bottles into a reused bottled.

[@brg2743]

We stopped spending a lot on unneccesary things a few years ago. Due to a high expensive necessary item, we had to. Sticking mostly to things needed and try to get those wants on special days and birthdays. Got new thermal blackout curtains for Christmas and wow what a difference they make. Rooms have never been so warm even with plastic wrap on windows.

[@sarahvogel1359]

Dawn and Rachel, this sounds like a "Buy Nothing Year"! Use up what you have, don't buy anything until you run out and only if it's a necessity. All of the categories you talked about are things that most of us already have at home in abundance, a blessing for sure. From my understanding, a Buy Nothing Year is mostly repleninshing groceries and other consumables when we have a real need. My husband and I have begun this for 2024... it is very tempting when at the store to not be inticed by a cheap clearance price or to stock up on a great sale. I am looking forward to seeing how much less money is going out each month, resulting in real savings. I predict it could be significant and addictive! Also, it's already freeing up my cluttered mind and physical space in my home. Thank you for being very comprehensive and transparent in this video!! Great job.

Yes to so many of these things mentioned. I am guilty of being crazy about subscription boxes and the target dollar spot. So much unnecessary stuff that I got bored with or didn’t really fit my home. So glad I pulled the plug on that. Dawn is so right about the home decor subscription boxes. I am currently decluttering so many items from past subscription boxes that no longer interest me

Oddly, we don’t do many of these things, BUT our families gift us mugs, blankets, candles, etc…I use my skincare daily, my haircare routine, I have 3 pairs of jeans (2 flare legs and a skinny (b/c it’s the best)) and minimal jewelry. One thing I have a weakness for is books, BUT this year I am using my library vs buying (not that I didn’t before, but this year I’m way more conscious of it). I will spend on a kindle version if it’s on sale, but no more physicals to take up space on my shelves. I do have $70 in giftcards/rewards to Barnes and Noble, so I will treat myself sometime. All good ideas! Love your segments Rachel!

I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio dwindle away is such an eye -sore.

Years ago here in TO my sister called me to ask my husband, a paramedic 3rd level, if she should take her ill feeling youngest daughter, to the closest hospital or Sick Kids, she had a blueish tinge to her arms and torso. He said Sick Kids, well after putting the students and new Doctors through their paces and no answers, the seasoned nurse asked my Sister if she had bought any new dresses for the kids as it was Christmas time, she admitted buying a lovely navy velvet gown, the penny dropped, she was appalled, and the nurse went for a washcloth and soap, Solution found! It was a huge relief, and they stayed as the Dr wanted to test some seasoned Dr's, and write up a test case for the teaching curriculum. It makes me howl with laughter in hindsight!

If I spot a pair of jeans that fit and look good I have to buy them. I don’t go for any trends like ripped or extreme flare though. You can never have too many pairs of good jeans (varying colors too). I did stop buying colored jeans though. I stick to denim (both light and dark), black, and white (off white too). I have 3 different sizes due to unintentional weight fluctuation (115-132 pounds) from medical issues. So I keep a bin of each size handy. I know this is not normal, but I always have something comfortable to wear. Also, I use the larger size in cooler weather so that I can wear a pair of Cuddl duds under them for warmth. I am all for minimalism (have purged a LOT of other clothes, kitchen stuff, and decor). But this is one thing I can’t do without

It was so much drama! “You don’t use them!” “I got those at my wedding shower, they were gifts! They’re perfectly fine!” I cried, called my sister, my cat came in and stayed with me. I think this came about when he began attending meetings at the Congregational church youth group with his best friend, but he didn’t explain it to me. It was like Jesus in the temple with the money changers. But he was right.

Hey I love this! I've just recently started watching Dawn's channel this year and her videos have been SO helpful. I love her cleaning suggestions as well.

Its so much cheaper!

[@deanvanlaarhoven1413]

Good quality running shoes are not simply part of a cute outfit. You need to start with good shoes that cost more money to protect your ankles, your knees, your hips, and your lower back. They are important equipment. Please do not run in cheap shoes. Don't wait until after you run to reward yourself with running equipment. Buy good shoes.

[@rebeccab_bwlt]

I prioritize living plants, but love to have a couple of green (faux) plants in dark corners of my house without enough natural light for living plants, or places where watering/care would be really hard. But I have a few, specifically for those places, and then what I do is (sort of like with holiday decor) I concentrate the live plants in the parts of the rooms where natural light is abundant year round. It's easier to remember to take care of them when they are grouped together, and they have enough light (and aren't out of sight, out of mind). I love the jeans tip. Seriously. So frustrating to feel like you're always just behind the trend on denim. I also have found VERY few influencer-promoted items that have really changed things for me. High five to both of you.

Love this. Note regarding clothes though, “fast fashion” wears out faster and is a huge problem if it ends up in the land fill. If you bring the worn out clothes to H & M and other retailers that recycle fabric, that helps. Also, so city/town recycling centers take fabrics. Check out your city or town.

[@Imzadi]

I never could get into microfiber. I detest the way it feels. I use Swedish dishcloths 😊

[@Isaiah41_10]

Yes! My hands are really dry and the feeling of those towels is soooooo....cringy!😆

[@charityhunt1248]

Love you two together! Thank you for the simplistic approach to home and happiness!

The Target Dollar Section? I don't even shop at Target and it's about 10 miles from me! LOL

[@MissJewell77]

Dawn is such a blessing!! I’m so glad to see you guys collaborating!! ❤

My goal is to stop buying “new” products. For example, shampoo. I have tried so many different shampoos, but I always go back to the shampoo I have used for years and end up wasting money. I need to keep it simple and stick with what I know I like.

[@Brittanylee5104]

Same! I'll buy new makeup new bath things! Eventually I go back to the things I've always used! No more

We have been using things up for a year and as something’s break like drinking glasses I don’t replace. We do living plants but bypass cut flowers.

The dollar spot section at Target always gets me! LOL I went a couple days ago and was so tempted to get all the cute stuff for Valentine's Day LOL

My kid loves to get boxes and just anything cardboard. He spends weeks playing with them, and I just decided I was not going to get any more new toys unless it was something special he wanted or a soecial occasion. 🎉

I need to stay out of Walmart! 😂

[@mmaddielion]

Yay for having dawn on!!! We love her!

❤ this! I would stop the video after every point y’all made and go declutter, donate, trash and unfollow! But hey, I am stuck in this ice in East TN so what else am I gonna do?! 😂 Thanks, ladies!
