Things you shouldn’t spend your money on 💰

1. “Luxury services”

If I can do it at home or get it myself, I’m saving money. Going through subscriptions is an easy way to add extra dough in your pocket.

2. “Extra upgrades”

I already have everything I need. If something stops working, sure I’ll replace it but until then..

3. “Sale items”

9/10 I don’t need that thing that is on sale. $5 off a $20 purchase is still $15 or an hour of my life.

If you wanna hear more about subscriptions, the 30 day rule, or even saving hacks let me know and I can make a post!

... Read moreIn today's financial landscape, making informed spending decisions is crucial for maintaining a healthy budget. Many people find themselves drawn to luxury services, such as food delivery and salon treatments, without realizing they can save significant amounts by opting for in-home alternatives or DIY solutions. By avoiding unnecessary subscription services, individuals can free up extra cash, allowing for more mindful spending on essentials. Additionally, the temptation of extra upgrades can drain your wallet. It's wise to stick with your current devices and make replacements only when necessary. Before making a purchase, ask yourself if an upgrade is truly needed or if it's just an impulse buy. Sale items can also lead to overspending; the allure of discounts often masks the reality that these items may not be needed. Practicing the 30-day rule—waiting 30 days before making a purchase—can help curb impulsive behavior and foster better spending habits. If you’re interested in exploring more money-saving hacks or strategies, let’s chat about budgeting techniques that can enhance your financial literacy and keep your cash flow positive throughout the year.

Why You Shouldn’t Buy Full Sized Perfume…
When I first stated collecting fragrances the biggest misstep I made was buying full sized bottles before I truly fell in love with a fragrance. These days, with a collection of 300+ bottles, I do not buy full sized fragrances without sampling first! Many companies offer samples, minis and trav
