PREACH!! Seriously... people spend so much money that is not necessary. I'm talking about people that are living paycheck to paycheck too - they just don't realize how much less you can spend and still have a full life.
Some of the biggest areas I see people waste money are with cars, eating out, clothing, cell phone plans etc.
I've actually been on a mission to get as close to zero dollars spent on clothing this year. So far, so good! I buy most of my clothing second hand and then "seasonally cycle" it and sell it back to different consignment stores once I'm done with the item. haha
There are just so many little tricks and ways to approach expenses that can save a lot of money.
Loved your article!! Thanks for bringing up so many great points. Like you said... it really does come down to mindset. By controlling expenses, it can help create a lot more freedom in our lives.
Haha, nice thrift store clothes hustle you got there. I bet you have a good eye for fashion and you can find some amazing treasures at the thrift stores for so little! I mean, thrift stores are overwhelmed in clothes - they got clothes coming out the damn windows!
