Wow u have done 2 low buy years in a row! That's amazing! Good luck on your 3rd year ❤. 2024 was my 1st low buy year & initially I only committed to January. But then I was shocked by how much money I saved so I kept going! I'll be doing it again in 2025 & will just make my daily spend tracking a little less detailed, so categories instead of listing every item!
@FIRE_DrNinjaTurtle Definitely. This year was a little bit difficult and busy with returning to work full time and ne longer being able to work remotely. Hopefully 2025 will be easier.
@sebastianbucur5135 absolutely! But I'm also trying to not sacrifice my time for money by spending intentionally so that soon I will not have to work so much.
@@kronsonfamily You're absolutely right! Here's a tip, tho: always ask yourself how can I increase my family income? Maybe you need a better paid job, maybe buying and selling baby items on eBay, maybe learning a new skill that will help you earn more. But reduce your expenses and increase your income should go hand in hand.
@sebastianbucur5135 so true! I could probably increase my income and my husband could definitely increase his. He's so undervalued and underpaid at his current job, but he likes it there so what can I do?
@@kronsonfamily Quantify. Sit down with him and put it all on paper. Quantify how much your fam budget would increase had he changed his job. [What's measured gets cut. If you don't measure.. you will not cut].
@sebastianbucur5135 Sound advice and he knows how impactful it would be if he made more money. He could easily work where I do and almost double his salary but he's been where he is his whole career and it's a small company that's almost like a family business. But I could do the same by going to work for Google or Microsoft or something but I'm choosing the stability of my workplace where layoffs never happen over a bump in pay.

@myaccount9498 Thanks! It's getting easier each time! I think that once you get control of your spending, just tracking categories is just fine.
This year has been hectic but you've done great! I also think I'm going to try to do a low spend next year 🐮💖
@BovineBudgeting Thank you!
You are not crazy and I am with you in 2025.
@FIRE_DrNinjaTurtle Yay! We can do it!
I am creating more spreadsheet views. Thank you for the software
@FIRE_DrNinjaTurtle Nice!
I am giving you another shout out in my 27th video. You have inspired me.
Let’s improve our quality of life in 2025. We deserve it 🙂

don't sacrifice your life for money - you cannot turn back the time
