I think u feel rich when you have time. You don't need to rush, enjoy your coffee, take all the time to get ready. Having too much stuff to take care of only takes away from the richness of having time
I think so many people have changed their perspective this past year. At some point people realize that having the most luxurious car on their street is not what makes you rich. Neither is the million dollar house. Rich is happy. Rich is appreciating what you have. Rich is loving and sharing. Rich is treating people like you want to be treated. Rich is not monetary, it's a feeling and all the things you listed give us those feelings. You've learned some very wise lessons at a very young age. You have a gift and are gracious enough to share it. You are rich! 🌹 And since the pandemic started, I feel rich now that I can buy "good" toilet paper again. Oh yeah. 🙂
If you don’t have someone to share whatever you have in life, makes you feel so poor. I live by myself no friends, no family in the US. All I do is work. I feel so lonely. So I will add to your amazing video, having your family &/or true friends make you feel rich (happy - complete). Thank you and blessings for you and your adorable family and everyone reading me.
I'm not sure it would work during Covid, but one idea for you is to check your local library's "Friends of the Library." You can meet some very nice people and the meetings are usually at night. Good luck, I hope you find some good friends soon.
It also feels more luxurious to not have products around that show the labeling. I have a dishwashing soap and hand soap dispenser on my kitchen sink that really makes a difference. They don't have to be expensive, just pretty. I saw this tip on another channel.
Yes decanting things makes it look and feel better. I put my cooking oils in glass bottles and it just looks nice sitting out, even though it's not less stuff out than before.
Yes! I saw that on another video, too and it makes sense. It says that your brain unconsciously tries to "read" text even when you aren't focused on it. It's make me rethink a lot of things in my home. It's much calmer now.
@@jainthorne4136 Exactly. On a tangent, it's a big reason classrooms should NOT have written posters all over the walls. But the school boards require a gazillion things be posted. Completely contrary to a calm, focused learning environment!! Drives me crazy!
Not living paycheck to paycheck, is when I finally felt like I made it. It's very freeing but took many years and discipline. Also, comfy, soft sheets and bath towels. It was so nice to be able to afford something else other than cheap Walmart towels and bed sheets.
I took a huge pay cut in 2013 and it has remained almost the same to the penny. I am so with you. I had to change how I'm living NOW, and live off of this income instead of continuing to live as I had before. I sure miss it. But, that is real life. I have sheets and towels I love and I just drag the sheets off the bed, into the washer, back on the bed. One set you love is better than 10 you hate.
@@yesiownfrodo I lost my job several months after I posted this comment so I get it and only use the same two or three quality sheets, depending on the weather. One of them is from Costco that are my favorite. My income has changed too and not getting as much. I'm working towards that income again but realize it'll take time. I'd still rather save money for quality sheets and towels than have to buy cheap ones again after a year. Good luck to you and hope you get back the income you lost. It's tough but you have the knowledge and discipline to do it.
What I like having is good quality candles and designer perfumes, 2 or 3 bottles, set on a silver tray. I swear it makes me feel like a million dollars:)
When my grandmother was living on only social security and just getting by she would say she wasn't poor... only "financially embarrassed". Her house was spotless and she always wore a dress and earrings. Very elegant.
Living below your means is the first and most important advice I give to younger couples!! I was blessed to be able to buy a beautiful but modest house when I was 24 and single with one tiny dog. Since then, a husband, 2 (going on 3) kids, and another dog have moved in. The house is getting small and we've considered a bigger house so many times, and honestly we could afford a nice place in our ridiculously expensive city. But being comfortable financially has done so much for our marriage and family/personal peace. The extra bedrooms or bigger yard just isn't worth the stress. We're able to live comfortably, not worry when expenses come up, eat organic, be generous, and save a nice safety net without feeling the strain. Buy a safe, heavy car but don't make it fancy. Buy the good quality upgrades for your house when you need them, but don't install a pool or $10,000 piano you won't use. No one needs $900 shoes. The peace you'll feel saving that money is worth ALL the material stuff and more.
When we got rid of our debt, we started putting what we were paying each month debt wise into a savings account and kept living on that budget (so was below our means) and when we look at the bank now we have such a pleasant surprise. It really helps put our minds at ease knowing we have that money if something happens.
What a good idea! :-) I’m loving the idea of getting out of debt, even though mine is quite small compared to many’s. And it’s a great idea to take that same amount, or even a portion of it, and have it put into savings each month. 💞👍🏼✨
In 2013 I had a stroke at work. This resulted in a big loss of wages and rather an identity crisis (who was I without my career?). This was an excellent video. You should be a guest on Dave Ramsey. This was wonderful. For me, I feel rich when I have cash in my pocket, just $5 of wiggle money is enough. To me, that makes a big difference so that I don't feel stifled by my budget. Access to beautiful music and art makes me feel richer than a Vanderbilt. I agree with you on amazing coffee. It's worth the effort. I try to make time to just sit and be grateful. Gratitude is something no one else can do for you, and that no one can prevent you from doing. I so agree on the pajamas!! I have a set that is the pajamas and the robe and I feel like a star when I wear them. LOL And I'm single. I do it for me.
We are the house with good toilet paper. We used to host foster children and they always commented on the soft toilet paper and good smelling soaps. 🥰😍
My husband and I did a similar thing. We created a budget and a schedule and we both paid off our college loans and we saved for our first home which we purchased 3 yrs ago and saved enough I could stay home with our boys (6yoand almost 4yo).
I really like that you focus on the whole money picture, and being debt free. And giving simple steps to get there. I love your cleaning videos, they give me hope that I can finally get my house in order whereas before I just didn't know where to start and it made me feel so overwhelmed. You've helped me so much! I really appreciate your videos.
I grew up neglected and then into Foster Care. After that I struggled with drugs/alcohol... Now later into my 30's I really relate to these things, what makes me feel rich are simple but quality things. I bought matching Pjs last year instead of old clothes! lol. My favourite thing once a month is: drinking my Tea china tea cup I got for FREE, in my matching Pjs putting some more money into my sinking/emergency fund. - I am RICH compared to the homeless duggie kid.
I finally ditched wearing the oversized t-shirt to bed thing I went to Burlington and grabbed matching pajamas on sale. They are so soft and I do feel rich without spending much. Now if I could get my hair picture perfect when I wake up like in the movies....lol
I think doing things yourself instead of hiring them done makes me feel richer. I know that seems backwards but the FEELING it gives you to know that you did something yourself I LOVE IT.
I was happy to see that this video went a different direction than I expected. We just got out of vehicle and credit card debt and it feels great. I have also been reducing my clutter by donating and selling things I will never or rarely use. I've got a long way to go but am feeling better. I think decluttering will definitely reduce my stress.
I’m not rich or well paid or overly comfortable that I don’t have to watch my spending BUT we have a nice home ( could be bigger could do with renovations but I’m happy), a car (paying it monthly but again it’s safe drives well looks good and will last us another few years), food in cupboards, eat out or cinema once a money as a family (offers/take our own treats etc) and we have nice clothes & shoes that we wear until the kids grow too big and/or they are worn. I am happy living like this & teaching my children they can’t have everything now & we have to work hard to pay for nights out, nice clothes & furnishings. Kids should be taught this x
Absolutely LOVE this video! I’m 46 and have always lived paycheck to paycheck! I had all four of my kids by age 26! I am now going to college to get my Masters in Social Work and I have not been in school since I graduated in 1993! A day at a time ❤️❤️❤️
What makes me feel rich is when I buy 2 or 3 sets of bed sheets that are so soft and awesome to the touch that I don't want to get out of bed. Makes me feel like I'm in a luxury hotel. Also my Clinique face creams. I can't use anything with fragrance in it so this is something I have to use. And my shower time is important to me. But my bath gel or soaps can smell good but not linger on my body due to my sense of smell is very sensitive. Not to picky on toilet paper so I'm good there.
This was such a fun video to watch!! I haven't seen any videos like this before and from someone that already does most of these, I can confirm that they really do make you feel richer! Off to find matching pajamas now!!
I can’t explain the feeling of having a supply of things on hand. I was literally able to supply my household and 2 others with toilet paper and hand sanitizer during the crisis based on what I had at home. I was close with my depression era great grandparents and I am so grateful for the lessons they taught me about keeping a supply of things at home.
I agree. My first thought was when you can pay all your bills in full, and don’t have to figure out how much of each one to pay, then you said “be out of debt.” Well said.
I appreciate some of these tips. Especially the debt-free, clutter free and capsules wardrobe. But for some things, I prefer feeling more green than more rich. Bamboo TP makes me feel good. Shopping local feels good snd makes one a healthy participant in the community. Some tips aren’t doable for some since a reasonable salary is not available to so many. I like your ending. I visited a small town in Mexico a long time ago and was impressed with how happy the seemingly poor people there were. They had each other. They were rich in family and community.
I keep my house clean ,organized neutral colors with glamorous candles and accessories 🤩 that's luxurious and rich for me aside my hygiene or perfume and put together even at home or in everyday wear 👍🏻
Yessss! No debt and even just Something in a savings account is life changing! Dave Ramsey has it right! You are a genius for putting all of these together. I’ve never thought about it before but for example you point of buying local feeling more special. We just yesterday purchased from a local shop and it was available online but it made us feel better that someone locks would get a commission, it supported our local business itself and the customer service experience was special compared to ordering online.
Love starting my mornings with you! 1/have a coffee 2/ your such a bright personality 3/ totally reachable tidying goals 4/ my house has improved so much since starting because YEAH I HAD 5-15 MINUTES. Thanks for all your videos and please keep calling me out! #dollar tree bestie
Can’t agree more with the pajamas and food skincare. Quality bath products too for that once a month at home spa day or tub soak followed by skin care routine and comfy, cute pjs. Love it!
Awesome that you eliminated debt! Keep promoting that as you will do a lot of people a huge service. A cloth shower curtain liner rather than plastic is a $10 luxury that makes me feel richer.
Thanks so much! I agree! Asking Jesus in your life and having that relationship will definitely make you feel rich! My loving husband makes me feel rich! May the Lord continue to bless you and your family
You really nailed it here. Clean house, flowers, matching pj's, clothes you love and wear, being organised ( aka mental clarity), savings$, yes, so important. Community connection, buy local, love your neighbourhood, love what you have, enjoy being you. Thank you oxo
I already do most of these and you are absolutely correct on these as long as you remember to apply number 15 to all of them and living below your means is imperative
Buying cheap TP last year was ROUGH! also I just got on the matching pj train and both my husband and I love it! My husband said he doesn't like the silk ones so I went for the viscose from amazon and so far so good! Around $30?! Very happy. Great video Make sure youre resting with that freah baby girl💜
You are spot on on so many topics. Before I initially thought some ideas (organization, true budget, savings, etc) were crazy but, I have found your & others comments cause us to change from listening toward action.
Doing the coffee/ tea at home trick is really money saving! I'm using extra creamy oat milk with Matcha powder for my "special coffee/ tea" fix without spending money on restaurant or bistro coffee, and it's healthier too.
About the nice toilet paper... I bought a bidet. They aren't expensive (I spent $30-40), they are better for the environment, and are super luxurious. Plus they save you all that money not buying toilet paper, making you actually richer. To dry off, just make your own cloth toilet paper
I definitely agree that buying from small businesses is so much better. The products r higher quality and so is the customer service. They really appreciate your business. I’ve especially found that if u want high quality handmade, reusable and sustainable products, Etsy is the place to shop. Since Covid, I’ve changed the things that I’ve purchased bc so many things r missing in the stores. I just bought handmade reusable makeup pads to take my eye makeup off from Etsy., it came in a cute bag with a handwritten note. Also, people in other countries r really struggling to make ends meat and their only means of support is to sell their talent in making things. It makes me feel really good when I know that I’m helping someone out that is struggling to provide for their family.
This evening I started watching your tips for happiness, which reminded me that I’ve been meaning to declutter my desk for months and I suddenly felt motivated. As I was getting stuck in I was glad that auto play was showing a few of your organisation videos then this one (which is also relevant to my stage of life). As I was putting things away I found myself organising other parts of my bedroom too. Man, I feel happy and proud of myself! Thanks for the inspiration Kallie. Just stumbled upon your channel today and have happily subscribed.
I thought of one. Have a cozy corner in your home whether it be the bedroom or the living room or another room where you have a comfy chair, a nice lamp and a stack of good books where you can curl up and just read or enjoy your coffee. Just a cozy corner.
Thank you for sharing how to budget paying down debts. January I've paid off one large debt, now working on my last debt. Wow I feel liberated. I look at things in the store in a much different way. Like what use is this to me, not how fast I can through my money. Have a wonderful day 😁
One of my favorites is a super soft, comfy bed! If your mattress isn’t comfortable and you can’t afford a new one, get a soft mattress topper. Super soft, but not expensive, bedding and pillows make your bed feel luxurious! The down side is I don’t want to get out of bed,
A couple of months ago I invested in a single-cup Keurig machine. For the longest time my husband was against the purchase since we already have a 10-cup coffee pot; BUT since he and I have different preferences at times with our coffee flavors, I figured it would save more water. I also agree with the toilet paper bit; one thing he's pretty adamant about is that no matter how bad things get financially, if we can swing it, we're paying for Charmin. (Btw, they have a new ULTRA soft toilet tissue that is absolutely divine. LOL!)
Wow, this is so interesting because I've naturally done a number of these things over the past year and it really does help! I would add some more: - cancel streaming services and instead only pay for one at a time - turn off all your app notifications (spend more time in the real world) - take advantage of free events in your city - split costs for things with friends and share items you don't use all the time 😉
1. Live debt free 2. Declutter 3. Toilet paper 4. Fresh flowers 5. Having what you need when you run out 6. Setting the table 7. Minimised wardrobe 8. Matching pj 9. Have money in a savings 10. Wiggle room budget 11.Skin care routine
Right now during these uncertain times it really is a good idea to try to shop local when you can support your local businesses especially right now during the pandemic when things are so uncertain those businesses are struggling right now Walmart Target Sam's Club and Costco even Aldi's we'll all survive more than your local businesses will I try to shop local as much as possible because the local grocery stores that I have here are very good about supporting the community they support the local 4-H clubs in also food banks many of the grocery stores here will donate the leftover Breads and cookies and other things that will otherwise get thrown out to help other people I don't see Walmart Target or any of the other big box stores doing this when they can really afford to do it
For fresh long lasting elegant flowers - orchids!!! Especially white orchids!!! Buy for $10-$15 at Trader Joes. Potter live plant lasts 2-4 months. Yes 2-4 months. Don't overwater. Like 1-2 ice cubes per week is enough water
My husband works full time for a local non profit and I work 3 days a week with children with special needs. We are by no means rich, but I feel good about where we are financially. We both have debt. Between the two of us we owe about $40,000 on our vehicles and still owe about $70,000 on our house. But we never miss payments and we are living within our means. It makes me feel rich that we can afford to buy the groceries we need and cover the bills we need to handle every month
WalMart sells great matching winter pajama sets - $10 for each a top and bottom. You can’t beat a matching set for $20! They’re super comfy, not too hot and not too cold. The pants even have pockets! Plus they come in cute prints and solids that can be mixed and matched.
Things that make me feel rich: 1. Living on a budget 2. Utilizing my credit cards wisely 3. Being clean and well groomed 4. Maintaining a clean environment 5. Finishing my to do list 6. Getting enough rest 7. Working out and eating healthy 8. Reading 9. Praying 10. Traveling
Kallie, thank you so much for your videos and your knowledge. This is one of my favorite ones. I appreciate you sharing the debt that you and your husband had. Including my school loan I owe close to 24 k. And I hate it.
You know what else makes me feel rich? I like to put on a good lipstick. I don't wear a lot of cosmetics and most of what I have is just like cover girl or something from marshalls. But I really like estee lauder lipstick and always have a tube of that that I use and put on every day.
Once again, great video and you definitely look like you "have it together"! A lot of the tips are things my mother likes to tell me (but I never listen, hahaha) I do like how you have it broken down and with examples of each. Keep them coming! :)
Having my husband makes me feel richer. He’s had cancer twice and Thank God he’s still with us. Thank You for your videos. I’m new to watching you.
Praise God for your blessing.
Amen! My husband has had 4 types of cancer now including stage 4 melanoma. So thankful he is still here with me and our young boys.
@@MyDrummingJourney Amen. Thank God he’s doing great. I’m so happy for you and your family. I know how hard it was for you. God Bless You and You’re Family.
I hope your husband is doing good :)
Prayers for your husband Linda for a full recovery in Jesus's name amen!

Thanks..well thought out list. Some of the changes are easy enough to put into practice immediately
Well said and I definitely agree!!!
These type of comments are my favorite comments because sometimes I don't wanna watch the video. I just wanna know the quick answer lol
Being rich isn't about how MUCH you make, it's about how you manage what you make 👌
Love this!
Very well said 👍🏻
It’s also about how much you keep $💰💎
@@silverhoney6969 And how money are being invested. Saving alone is not enough.
I am learning this guys! Literally managing what I make so I can thrive in life
I think u feel rich when you have time. You don't need to rush, enjoy your coffee, take all the time to get ready. Having too much stuff to take care of only takes away from the richness of having time
Well said 👍🏻
I agree
💯 and exactly how I prefer my time! Meandering instead of rushing is the best feeling in the world :)

Matching hangers in my closet. That’s a luxury to me LOL
Yes, I agree : )
Facts I just brought more yesterday lol.
For me: wooden hangers =)
Didn't buy any more, just spray painted the ones I had.

Jenny. I don't like cheap towel. I understand what you say. I love a pretty elegant table setting. With a beautiful vase of flowers.

Silk pillowcases are good for your skin (from another YT channel).
I took a huge pay cut in 2013 and it has remained almost the same to the penny. I am so with you.

I agree with #2 wholeheartedly! When my home feels cluttered or messy, it gives me anxiety and makes me feel like I don’t want to be in my own home.
Me also veey definitely

Absolutely LOVE this video! I’m 46 and have always lived paycheck to paycheck! I had all four of my kids by age 26! I am now going to college to get my Masters in Social Work and I have not been in school since I graduated in 1993! A day at a time ❤️❤️❤️
Much love and luck to you 🤗
What makes me feel rich is when I buy 2 or 3 sets of bed sheets that are so soft and awesome to the touch that I don't want to get out of bed. Makes me feel like I'm in a luxury hotel. Also my Clinique face creams. I can't use anything with fragrance in it so this is something I have to use. And my shower time is important to me. But my bath gel or soaps can smell good but not linger on my body due to my sense of smell is very sensitive. Not to picky on toilet paper so I'm good there.
I feel the same way about Clinique ♥️
You do not have to use clinique. You're just rich
LOL I knew a lady who insisted in finding nice toilet paper that also was color matched to her bathroom. And yes, that DID seem very luxurious.
When I open the last bottle of something, I immediately put it on my shopping list
This was such a fun video to watch!! I haven't seen any videos like this before and from someone that already does most of these, I can confirm that they really do make you feel richer! Off to find matching pajamas now!!
Having replacements would double the amount of things I have. I feel richer not stressing about running out of something.
Easy to do if you shop two for one, or Costco,lol
I can’t explain the feeling of having a supply of things on hand. I was literally able to supply my household and 2 others with toilet paper and hand sanitizer during the crisis based on what I had at home. I was close with my depression era great grandparents and I am so grateful for the lessons they taught me about keeping a supply of things at home.
I agree. My first thought was when you can pay all your bills in full, and don’t have to figure out how much of each one to pay, then you said “be out of debt.” Well said.
I appreciate some of these tips. Especially the debt-free, clutter free and capsules wardrobe. But for some things, I prefer feeling more green than more rich. Bamboo TP makes me feel good. Shopping local feels good snd makes one a healthy participant in the community. Some tips aren’t doable for some since a reasonable salary is not available to so many. I like your ending. I visited a small town in Mexico a long time ago and was impressed with how happy the seemingly poor people there were. They had each other. They were rich in family and community.
I keep my house clean ,organized neutral colors with glamorous candles and accessories 🤩 that's luxurious and rich for me aside my hygiene or perfume and put together even at home or in everyday wear 👍🏻
Yessss! No debt and even just Something in a savings account is life changing! Dave Ramsey has it right! You are a genius for putting all of these together. I’ve never thought about it before but for example you point of buying local feeling more special. We just yesterday purchased from a local shop and it was available online but it made us feel better that someone locks would get a commission, it supported our local business itself and the customer service experience was special compared to ordering online.
Potted flowers 🌸 are my favorite because they last longer!
Love starting my mornings with you! 1/have a coffee 2/ your such a bright personality 3/ totally reachable tidying goals 4/ my house has improved so much since starting because YEAH I HAD 5-15 MINUTES. Thanks for all your videos and please keep calling me out! #dollar tree bestie
I’m rich in blessings and lessons I’ve learned.
Can’t agree more with the pajamas and food skincare. Quality bath products too for that once a month at home spa day or tub soak followed by skin care routine and comfy, cute pjs. Love it!
I think the mindset is the only one. We struggled at one time to even have TP so having fluffy expensive was not an option. I think it is a mindset.
Baby Finley is so gorgeous! Congratulations!
Awesome that you eliminated debt! Keep promoting that as you will do a lot of people a huge service. A cloth shower curtain liner rather than plastic is a $10 luxury that makes me feel richer.
Another great tip to feel rich is exercising daily, I did that 3 days in a row and not only did I feel good but surprisingly I felt rich
Thanks so much! I agree!
Asking Jesus in your life and having that relationship will definitely make you feel rich! My loving husband makes me feel rich!
May the Lord continue to bless you and your family
When I put out a plate of grapes during dinner, my daughter comments it feels like a feast lol
Real matching pajamas...YES I just started ditching the big tees for matching pj's and it does make a difference. Thank you for sharing!
I totally agree with you. Everything you said is true.
It's the little big things that really make us feel rich!....TFS.....
You really nailed it here. Clean house, flowers, matching pj's, clothes you love and wear, being organised ( aka mental clarity), savings$, yes, so important. Community connection, buy local, love your neighbourhood, love what you have, enjoy being you. Thank you oxo
I already do most of these and you are absolutely correct on these as long as you remember to apply number 15 to all of them and living below your means is imperative
You pegged it! Absolutely! Just being responsible with what is given to us makes us rich! Rich with so many things. Thank you!
Being rich is to each day whether it rains or is sunny
......love the kind smiles of people and hustle of the city
I’m really trying to live by the “15 minute pick up plan”. Lol that’s what I call it
I like that sound of that!
Buying cheap TP last year was ROUGH! also I just got on the matching pj train and both my husband and I love it! My husband said he doesn't like the silk ones so I went for the viscose from amazon and so far so good! Around $30?! Very happy. Great video
Make sure youre resting with that freah baby girl💜
Kallie, these are great, actionable things we can all do to some degree!
Being able to make a monthly donation to an organization I love makes me feel rich. ♥️
Trader Joe’s flowers are great!! I try to buy them once a week depending on what they are. It’s $4-8 for the nice ones!!
I went full minimalist on my closet and it has been wonderful! I need to go through it again, actually.
Great video! Your content is always relevant and well thought out. I hope you're having a great day 💓.
You are spot on on so many topics. Before I initially thought some ideas (organization, true budget, savings, etc) were crazy but, I have found your & others comments cause us to change from listening toward action.
Yes! I agree with all of this. The matching pajamas thing is something I actually just did lol
So I'm clearly a grown up now 😎😎
Doing the coffee/ tea at home trick is really money saving! I'm using extra creamy oat milk with Matcha powder for my "special coffee/ tea" fix without spending money on restaurant or bistro coffee, and it's healthier too.
Hello! I really like that you addressed the concept of being RICH! 💫
Best wishes to your little Girl! 💝 ( also for Miles, obviously 😊 )
About the nice toilet paper... I bought a bidet. They aren't expensive (I spent $30-40), they are better for the environment, and are super luxurious. Plus they save you all that money not buying toilet paper, making you actually richer. To dry off, just make your own cloth toilet paper
I definitely agree that buying from small businesses is so much better. The products r higher quality and so is the customer service. They really appreciate your business. I’ve especially found that if u want high quality handmade, reusable and sustainable products, Etsy is the place to shop. Since Covid, I’ve changed the things that I’ve purchased bc so many things r missing in the stores. I just bought handmade reusable makeup pads to take my eye makeup off from Etsy., it came in a cute bag with a handwritten note. Also, people in other countries r really struggling to make ends meat and their only means of support is to sell their talent in making things. It makes me feel really good when I know that I’m helping someone out that is struggling to provide for their family.
The toilet paper made me laugh cause I told my friend many times, when you have Kleenex and don't use toilet paper made me feel rich 😂😂
This evening I started watching your tips for happiness, which reminded me that I’ve been meaning to declutter my desk for months and I suddenly felt motivated. As I was getting stuck in I was glad that auto play was showing a few of your organisation videos then this one (which is also relevant to my stage of life). As I was putting things away I found myself organising other parts of my bedroom too. Man, I feel happy and proud of myself! Thanks for the inspiration Kallie. Just stumbled upon your channel today and have happily subscribed.
I thought of one. Have a cozy corner in your home whether it be the bedroom or the living room or another room where you have a comfy chair, a nice lamp and a stack of good books where you can curl up and just read or enjoy your coffee. Just a cozy corner.
Girl you're talking the truth here. I love every tip you've shared. The toilet paper had me laughing ahahhaa.
Thank you for sharing how to budget paying down debts. January I've paid off one large debt, now working on my last debt. Wow I feel liberated. I look at things in the store in a much different way. Like what use is this to me, not how fast I can through my money. Have a wonderful day 😁
One of my favorites is a super soft, comfy bed! If your mattress isn’t comfortable and you can’t afford a new one, get a soft mattress topper. Super soft, but not expensive, bedding and pillows make your bed feel luxurious! The down side is I don’t want to get out of bed,
A couple of months ago I invested in a single-cup Keurig machine. For the longest time my husband was against the purchase since we already have a 10-cup coffee pot; BUT since he and I have different preferences at times with our coffee flavors, I figured it would save more water. I also agree with the toilet paper bit; one thing he's pretty adamant about is that no matter how bad things get financially, if we can swing it, we're paying for Charmin. (Btw, they have a new ULTRA soft toilet tissue that is absolutely divine. LOL!)
Hahahaha I’m dying at the toilet paper one. It’s so true! 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, this is so interesting because I've naturally done a number of these things over the past year and it really does help! I would add some more:
- cancel streaming services and instead only pay for one at a time
- turn off all your app notifications (spend more time in the real world)
- take advantage of free events in your city
- split costs for things with friends and share items you don't use all the time 😉
You are so right about the closet. If I even see a closet full of clothes and shoes I get anxious! I do not want lost of clothes.

Toilet paper...yass!! 🤣 I really enjoyed this video...thank you for the insights!
I agree with these statements , plus having someone who loves & cares for you makes you feel rich to ,I’m lucky to have this someone in my hubby ❤️
Right now during these uncertain times it really is a good idea to try to shop local when you can support your local businesses especially right now during the pandemic when things are so uncertain those businesses are struggling right now Walmart Target Sam's Club and Costco even Aldi's we'll all survive more than your local businesses will I try to shop local as much as possible because the local grocery stores that I have here are very good about supporting the community they support the local 4-H clubs in also food banks many of the grocery stores here will donate the leftover Breads and cookies and other things that will otherwise get thrown out to help other people I don't see Walmart Target or any of the other big box stores doing this when they can really afford to do it
Almost 20 years ago, I had a friend compliment my toilet paper. We laughed about it but I’ve always remembered it!
Great video! I really appreciated the thought you put into this. It did not sound like every other money-saving video on TH-cam. 🙌🎉
For fresh long lasting elegant flowers - orchids!!! Especially white orchids!!! Buy for $10-$15 at Trader Joes. Potter live plant lasts 2-4 months. Yes 2-4 months. Don't overwater. Like 1-2 ice cubes per week is enough water
Save for retirement too!
My husband works full time for a local non profit and I work 3 days a week with children with special needs. We are by no means rich, but I feel good about where we are financially. We both have debt. Between the two of us we owe about $40,000 on our vehicles and still owe about $70,000 on our house. But we never miss payments and we are living within our means. It makes me feel rich that we can afford to buy the groceries we need and cover the bills we need to handle every month
“ opulent “ is the word of the day 😃😃😃. Very nice video Kellie.. so useful 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
WalMart sells great matching winter pajama sets - $10 for each a top and bottom. You can’t beat a matching set for $20! They’re super comfy, not too hot and not too cold. The pants even have pockets! Plus they come in cute prints and solids that can be mixed and matched.
My Nespresso totally makes me feel rich! You are spot on with all these tips
Things that make me feel rich:

7. Working out and eating healthy
8. Reading
9. Praying

Kallie, thank you so much for your videos and your knowledge. This is one of my favorite ones. I appreciate you sharing the debt that you and your husband had. Including my school loan I owe close to 24 k. And I hate it.
Dang momma! You look so good for JUST having a baby. Did you even take a break?
Having plants :) and taking care of them. It’s a great decor item
Love this video!! and yes to the matching pajamas! Silk are my fave ❤️
You know what else makes me feel rich? I like to put on a good lipstick. I don't wear a lot of cosmetics and most of what I have is just like cover girl or something from marshalls. But I really like estee lauder lipstick and always have a tube of that that I use and put on every day.
while I would agree with you, with having to wear masks all the time, lipstick has become a thing of the past
@@lisachauvin I wear it at home. Makes me feel happy.
@@susanhammitt7080 that’s a great idea!
Once again, great video and you definitely look like you "have it together"! A lot of the tips are things my mother likes to tell me (but I never listen, hahaha) I do like how you have it broken down and with examples of each. Keep them coming! :)
I recommend getting a coffee whisk!!!
Best video I have seen in a long time. Ringing that bell.
I needed this so much! Thank you!
I love this. So humbling and original content!
*make it rain* "dolla dolla bills y'all"🤣😂🤣
Man i loved this video! Thank you!😁❤
