Wow Nicole, thanks for your frankness in talking about $ role in relationship/marriage! It seems obvious but people seem restrained in talking about it, I would guess because it seems crass. People with no real financial issues are the ones that can hope for the cherished 50 or 60-year marriage.

Great Video 🥳👍😎. Typically, you only paint yourself into a corner once. 😊. I painted a spare bedroom (once…) with only a 2 1/2” paint brush. I had never done any indoor painting for 20+ years, and just didn’t think to purchase a roller duh!🙃 It would have gone faster for sure. Sometimes we climb up and don’t think about what it takes to come down till it’s time to step down. Great job on the bedroom make over for sure. My lamp next to my bed has a rheostat to adjust the intensity of the bulb(s). I can’t take all that light with only an on/off switch. There are rheostats that plug into the wall socket ~ like a short extension cord ~ that have the brightness controls (slider bar or other) that you plug the light into, then the rheostat into the wall socket. Simple, and pretty cheap if your lamp(s) don’t come with a way to adjust the light intensity already. {not as neat and clean looking as a single wire coming out of the lamp, but functional if you need the feature}. You’ll find a rug you like. There’s one out there. 👍😎

Yep, another person chiming in to say love the new 'do! If you decide to go back to bangs, just get a tiny flat iron just for bangs.

Using klarna is basically the same as saving the money then buying the item, only you can have the item first and save the money later. Some people won't be able to save any money unless they are forced to do so. That why klarna exists.

I need to hear this EVERY DAY.

Ur home is really filign out it looks so nice !

You are a cool person, Nicole - and I really dig your bag - but, man, "planned obsolescence" is even more terrifying than you can imagine... whence thou dost accept the fact that every "generation" since "Generation Z" (i.e., the last generation) is tolerated by our monied masters and in accordance to the theme behind the movie "In Time" (2011) as comparable to "Logan's Run" (1976) and-or "Soylent Green" (1973). Dig!? o/

When you quit they expect a 2 week notice. If they fire you or lay you off you dont get that. There is a stigma to not giving a 2 week notice when going for a new job but sometimes its so bad you cant go another 2 weeks. Also your on a need to know basis but when something is going on with you they want to know everything.

Do you have any advice for a Russian-Canadian alcoholic who lives in a boarding house, has a huge pile of trash, and is dying from a bone infection?

great video I hope to see more

Once again, you hit the nail on the head with this subject! My dad, who seemed to have mental problems (it was mentioned they used arsenic and lead on the vegetables grown on the farm when they were growing up very poor) - was always an extreme overspender. He hid the finances from my mom, who had to break into his desk with a knife to find out the truth - he bought 2 stripped down new cars when he was laid off work, trading in a nice 4 year old car - my mom made him trade in 1 of the 2 crappy cars and get her nice paid-off car back - and they barely hung unto the 1 new car the kept. Years later after much of the same, he insisted on investing in 2 back-yard greenhouses to grow jojoba seedlings - he did homework on this endeavor, and they guy doing this had done something similar in another state where people lost their homes - he did this anyway, got a few checks and then nothing - my mom told her she was divorcing him if he didn't go to marriage counseling and church with her - he refused. My brother wanted to let him totally off the hook - years later we were talking, and I said that there was nothing to do to help my dad. He was going down no matter what. He ran off with a boombo - within 3 weeks was returning minus his money - then he quickly married another woman who had a house paid for. He over improved her house, then still wasn't satisfied. Her house WAS paid off when she met him. Then he had to buy a place that was almost a mansion, and they were going to have to go bankrupt if they couldn't sell that place fast. Living in constant turmoil with someone claiming there will not be enough food on the table, then buying expensive unneeded stuff - sucks!

When i was young and dating, the type of car was the first thing they looked at. Espicially their parents. When i finally found a steady girl i saved up and bought a 84 corolla. Drove it for 17 years. My first car was a 74 phymouth satelite sebring. Which i wrecked multiple times. I would drive up to my date's house. Walk up with a silly grin on my face, hair way to long and clothes that didn't fit quite right. But i was stupid happy. It took awhile to figure out that i needed to make some serious changes. I had great parents but zero mentorship. Started life as a tv repair man....then a door repair. Finally a factory job that pays well. Been here 32 years. Divorced 2 years ago but i am still worth decent money. Look to retire soon (couple of years). Spend my time outdoors hiking and driving about.

Easiest way to save is not have kids!

I drive a 97 avalon. Still working at 63. My biggest joy in life here lately is walking my shih-tzu/bichon pooch on hiking trails at state parks here in missouri.

Hello Nicole , I saw you when you open your door and your pet was there greeting you, That is a great sight to see. - Burnout is a very serious condition facing millions, I use to look forward every year to my vacation and where I was planning to go. I feel when taking a job, Don't just look at the money, look beyond it and see how the time off works at that place , very important. Your video was very interesting and straight forward. Very good. take care Russ from Oregon.

Sagittarius ?

Got fired from kfc so I decided to make the club my full time job. It turned into (today) a full on fitness business, I wrote a book and started a TH-cam channel. Gained the confidence from that one decision to be my own boss. Never look back. 💯👏🏻

Omg..love the hair!!! It shows your featyres more, beautiful❤

"I'm also really grateful to that asshole that fired me" best quote of the year so far.

Your hair off your face looks great.

I wouldn’t work at looking poor. Just don’t look rich.

Screw trying to keep up with Jones's down the street. I'm 61 years old and recently retired. My home and Honda SUV are paid for. I don't have any credit card debts.

Ive been selfemployed for 20 years doing office cleaning and window cleaning best desicion I have made i own some real estate abroad and invest in ETFs for passive income.

I've lived alone 19 years! It's weird when I go to visit family or when friends come to visit me. I can't find anything after guests leave. If I go visit it's always "put some clothes on" or "close the door when you're in the bathroom" The best part about being alone is being able to think.

Intelligent content.

Do you know about the book ‘bullshit jobs’ by David greaber?

Better than dealing with rude cashiers any day.

Seeing your eyebrows makes me completely understand how people never saw Clark Kent as Superman. Love it!

So glad you've changed your hair. Nice to see your EYES!

Money can’t buy happiness. But it can rent it.

Lol. 1. Govt isn't overregulating blue jeans and washing machines. 2. Competition is a thing. 3. Assuming real money (only gold & silver), deflation is the natural trend of prices. But, um, yeah, some of the stuff you said holds, a little. However, the "dollar" has already hyperinflated, so there's that too...

Nicole gets last laugh. Excellent choice for your sponsor, too.

Guilty as charged, hold on I think my Amazon just showed up.....

Reminds me of the person who spends a bunch of money on a nice guitar and amp because they want to learn. They end up learning a one string version of Smoke On The Water and then their nice new set up becomes a decoration in the living room doomed to collect dust for the next 3 years.

Me personally, your content is good, so fancier cameras and effects aren't that important, but glad you're happy!

wise, truthful, illuminating, resonating video. thank you.

Thank you for Teaching This Course of Life. You are doing this for all of us. Born 1960. Made a good amount of dollars and spent it all. By no effort on my part I inherited a MH on a lot and can afford to live on not much over $1000.00 per month. I enjoy what I have and dont desire alot or much at all really. I buy quality whole food plant exclusive and work on my attitudes each day. There are food banks and used everything to help me make ends. Life is Great

You're absolutely right! The quality of consumer goods today is the shits! Garment factories overseas are supplied cheap quality materials and fabrics including plastic zipper teeth. This along with underpaid overworked employees who have unfit and unsafe working conditions just as shitty are disgruntled and unhealthy and they don't give a hell about care or quality! That's why we get utter trash when we shop! We used to do our own manufacturing but manufacturers sold our jobs out to cheap labor in the orient and it gets worse as they follow cheap labor around the globe!

I’m from Thailand. Good service there is supposed to be “included” because they are already selling you something. How can a Thai sell you something if service is not included? However Thais tip a small amount to show appreciation, but not 20% or more on total amount. Thirty years ago I came to USA with my mom and dad. I tipped the server 15% on $200 meal and my parents thought I was crazy. I explained that when in Rome do as the Romans do. But now it’s out of control because they now expect you to tip for take out and self service too. That’s totally absurd. I agree with everything this lady is saying. When a cashier expects tips for doing minimum work which they were paid a salary already, that’s high pressure begging.

Anker power bank... I bought a 10,000 amp hour battery pack and it was one of the best investments I've made. I use it everyday.

I'm glad Hulu raised their rates. When I was paying $8.56 a month, it didn't bother me, even though I hardly watched anything. 10 months at $85.60. I could've bought the entire series of one show I watched (and cluttered my house with it). But $10 a month? All of a sudden it was outrageous.

Good stuff. I’m going through all you videos

I'm a tinkerer and for years took things apart(when they passed away) and saved the screws (toaster, coffee maker, wash machine etc.). About 6-8 years ago I stopped. Even the screws and washers have shitified. I'ts insane.

up

I love the Mom's convo pic is flipping you off 🤣

If you haven't already, check out the book The Obstacle is the Way, by Ryan Holliday; it has some great thoughts and inspiring examples on handling setbacks and difficulties. Thanks for sharing your journey

well you sure as hell aint splurging on a hairdresser

Hi Nicole! Love your channel. I’m interested in the. Build your store option you mentioned. You said you do “a little marketing” to get sales. Can you go into more detail on that? I have an Etsy store with great products but the struggle has been getting people to the store. Any advice you have? Thank you!
