I worked along with a few of my female nurse friends during Covid and we made hundreds of thousands of dollars. Few years after Covid, all my female friends told me they had spent all the money we made. And they said it was on clothes, bags and shoes. Me on the other hand bought two houses cash. Consumerism is a killer especially in the black community. I wish more girls can watch this video and take your advice seriously.
I’ve come to the point where I can watch hauls and not feel the need to run out and buy anything, It’s just entertaining for me now. I fell into the “self-care” rabbit hole 2 years ago. I only have things I need and actually use now.
The overconsumption has gotten out of hand. Young ppl will literally put frivolous things like makeup and clothes on credit cards….that’s not a necessity! You should never pay interest on these items. Crazy!
Same. I would stay in my tax bracket and stick with coach if I want something designer. But I won’t buy it unless I accomplished something major in life
I had an accident about a year ago that was nearly fatal. Nothing is more important than your health and peace. None of my handbags or shoes are of any help if you can’t walk. BUT I had an emergency fund that helped me keep my life going. I used to work in luxury fashion but once I I left that career, I don’t want to spend the money on that stuff. Drugstore makeup, skincare and Amazon clothes and shoes are just fine😊
This is so true. I was “that girl” when I was single. Afterngetting married I realized that seeing my money grow is a much better feeling of accomplishment and happiness than seeing the newest clothes, bags and shoes
Agree with every single point. I’ve been budgeting and being “this girl” since about 202-. All of these steps have genuinely helped me defeat consumerism. I was never into the having 12 body washes, 30 perfumes, and so much clothing that one couldn’t possible wear everything. The only think I really put big money into is traveling and experiences. Especially if that means it will grow my goals / quality of life or help me spend time with family and create memories.
I feel like most of my life I’ve known how to save, or how to buy things affordably. But it wasn’t until now that I’ve learned how to properly spend & manage my finances. I’m so grateful! Thank you so much for coming to watch me & support yet again! 💕
That’s brilliant! & sadly so true! So many people wouldn’t make the purchases they make if they couldn’t flex & seek the approval of other people. But I get it, it’s human nature to want to be accepted, but not at my pockets expense Lol.
One of the things I always loved about you is that you were always budget friendly. You would do trendy things but you were always doing them while keeping in mind that everyone isn't rolling in dough lol. You always came across as humble and simple to me. Continue to progress on your journey
You hit the nail on the head, people need to figure out what their dream life looks like. Truly. A lot of people are looking for respectability and thinking it comes with a designer bag, well...I got the bag but that didn't earn me anything. A lot of people are trying to LOOK rich, and not LIVE or BE rich. Its sad. The day I managed to save 5 figures CASH was the day nobody could tell me ISH, didn't matter what brand I wore, or how "rich" I looked, I had a very "F U" energy because I knew I had some backing. It hits different when you have CASH behind you, you move different. You stop caring about what others think or what "aesthetic" you fit into. I feel empowered when I budget. Its another goal.
I’m def a budget girlie ! Price checking , couponing and learning to shop my own closet . I used to be one of those “I don’t have anything to wear with a closet full of clothes , shoes , handbags etc ….. Things have changed for me drastically. I also started doing my own lashes , wearing press ons and will attempt to do my own hair going forward . ❤
I feel like I’ve been seeing way more women talk about budgeting and saving and going against over consumption and idk if it’s just that more women are speaking on it or the algorithm showing it more to me but I’m glad I’m seeing more of it. All hope is not lost. I never felt the need to go broke over material things.
It's the aftermath of the consumerism. Eventually, it's not financially sustainable to be "that girl" and we move on to budgeting trends. I wonder what comes next 😂
@@bymmim yeah I get this. I did get to a point where I thought about getting into lashes and hair and spend more money on my monthly maintenance but then I thought about it and was like once I start I know I will get attached and never stop and it won’t be sustainable. So I may as well stop while I am ahead. I’m glad I did.
Girl, that’s why I stopped doing Trya on hauls because I was buying clothes to make a TH-cam video and not even wearing the clothes after the video. I cleaned out my entire closet and I only have stuff that I actually wear ..its not even that much because I don’t even go anywhere🤣🤣 I also stopped following influencers didn’t align with where I was trying to go with my life.. we are in a recession ain’t nobody looking to buy no luxury items no more🤣🥹 I basically stop trying to keep up with the Joneses and just went back to real life and things that mattered to me. Great video I feel like a lot of people needed to hear this.
I couldn’t have said it better! Same here, don’t get me wrong, every now & then I crave a good vibe. But that’s just it. A vibe. It’s entertaining! But not real life. Atleast not mine, on purpose! It’s so much more comfortable to do your own thing, it’s flows organically! 💕
this so real i got rid of so many clothes just last week 😭 i made a haul video for tiktok but i only bought maybe 15 things i needed for the summer time/a future vacation.
Heavy on the “don’t even go out anywhere” I bought so many “brunch fits” and my only friends are my fiance and my cat, who am I going out with to show off these clothes???😂😂😂 On a serious note it feels so good to delete social media out of my phone and stop trying to keep up with these influencers who don’t even live in the real world.
I'm here for this message! A lot of times we only want things bc people do a good job of convincing us we need it. I had to stop watching influencers who were always "selling" something. Every video they trying to convince us we need all these things lol its TOXIC!!
A very good job! I understand though, it’s how they make their living. I don’t knock it. It just won’t happen at the expense of my wallet Lol. I need my coins! 😂
Love this kind of content. I work in finance and it changed the way I look at money especially when day to day I see how poor spending habits can destroy your life and mental peace. We need to normalize this. Because my motto is. This money needs to be in my pocket instead of a multi millionaires pockets
This makes sense with being influenced heavily on social media. Ever since I deleted TT and I’m NOT on IG anymore it’s helped a lot with staying focused and saving $. Thanks for posting this topic. I told myself I’m only buying a luxury bag once a year and stackin up…and budgeting for the stuff I do want. I’m an impulsive buyer and that has to STOP. 😂
These are some great tips,number 3 really resonated with me,also I noticed that if I sleep on a purchase I want to make,the next day I don’t want the item that I wanted so badly just a day before
I used to work in a high end retail store and every time new inventory would come in I would be like “wow that’s so cute I want it!” And of course it would be a $400 dress. For a full month, I would pass by it every day and each day I wanted it less and less.. I learned that I was just craving a dopamine rush from purchasing a product and not the actual product itself. Working in retail made me realize how worthless it all is. It’s just material. Window shopping is much more fun now than actually buying the product and going broke(:
I need to do that too, not going anywhere with 200 shoes and lots of of clothes that some still have tags and 60 bags, a lot even perfumes 120. I need to stop because it hard to save with this consuming life. But I’m glad that I’m progressing in stopping consuming in my life
It’s all a process my love! I’m not completely there myself, but everyday is a step! I’m striving for financial freedom & this is definitely my place to start! I’m so excited to share this journey with you all! Thank you so much for coming to watch me! I appreciate you! 💗
It has really been a big eye opener for me. There’s nothing wrong with treating myself, but I had to take a hard look at my why’s. & when it didn’t make sense, I had to cut it sis! Lol. I’m so happy you enjoyed this! I appreciate you! ❤️
Good for you girl! Following the trends not only ruin finances but can distract us from actual using things we have, enjoying the moment and have fulfilling life.
1000% agree! I’m always saying overconsumption is sick! I’m so looking forward to this new content! The financially savvy me is more than onboard with this content.
Instant subscriber from this video! I stopped buying “for the night” type clothes, less shien clothing unless it’s a basic, less clothes with prints because I notice I don’t wear them as often and they are harder to mix into other outfits.
Facts! I think long term, even if it is affordable fashion like shein, I’m a firm believer that it can still be somewhat lasting, it’s all about your method & mindset when making your purchases. I’m so happy we found each other and that you enjoyed the video! I appreciate you so much for watching! ❤️
@@CourtneyBee you’re welcome! You should watch Cara Nicole’s videos as well! She explains in depth how society keeps people poor and other great consumerism topics!
They’re called “influencers” for a reason. You’re the only person I’ve heard bring up that level of self-awareness. Basically ask yourself how much you want to be influenced!
Great video, I heard one quote which absolutely changed my spending habits: ''every time you buy something, you're making somebody else richer and yourself poorer''. I always say this quote in my head whenever I wanna buy something and it helps so much
How you explained your feeling of “lack” and insecurity when budgeting is exactly how I felt, but didn’t have words to explain it. I work hard and make good money, so I always feel like I should spend because “I can. I got it”. I need to change that about myself, so thank you!
I'm so glad I saw thus. It's what I needed. I had been using buying for thr last two years for grief... it was making me feel better at the moment. I love this. You are helping people break free... I want to live for my loved one through experiences now.
I’m a budget girlie, as well! Been budgeting for ever and I’m always open to new tips. Would love to see how you budget, saving these coins all 2024 sis!! 😂
I’m so happy I’ve found the budgeting community! It has truly changed my life & has been a blessing! I’m so excited to share this smart money journey with you all! ❤️
Girl I needed it too! I’m still learning on this journey & I can’t wait for all of us to learn & get this coin together! I appreciate you so much for coming to watch me boo! 💕
Girl me too! They could’ve made me buy a pogo stick!! I dont even know how to work a pogo stick! 😂😂😂 but I understand, that’s how they make a living, I just can’t do it all the time
love this new content niece! I've been trying to find balance in this area. These conversations need to be had more often especially on social media. thx for sharing
I am so glad you are back! I loved your Baddie on a Budget videos! I would love for you to do a bag video of the bags you have, want to sale and what bags you like!
Love this! I’m catching myself with this lil consumerism chokehold and these are super practical tips on getting back to a clear head. Thank you for this! New subbie!❤
This video is SO GOOD 💕 I have not seen consumerism talked about enough and your video explains it perfectly with great tips. Especially your tip of questioning the purchase the way you did
Exactly! I’m so happy this is something I’m finally coming to grips with! Its all about what truly makes me happy & makes sense for my life! Thank you so much for coming to watch me! I appreciate you for being here! 💕
We definitely missed you and how relatable you are. You keep it authentic and to the point, while looking good and get us giggling all at once. Welcome back honey❤️
Y’all make me feel so bubbly inside, Lol as corny as it may sound! 😂😂😂 I appreciate you all so much! I appreciate you guys allowing me to be me & accepting of the changes I go through. You all welcomed me back with nothing but love & for that y’all will forever be the GOATS! 💕
Yes I was just talking about this. A lot of these vloggers are taking trips and buying all this stuff and are in so much debt. They are not teaching any positive lessons to anyone. I’m an it girl because I save my money, invest, and debt free, with a budget❤
this was actually a really good video! Well delivered and relatable. Both men and women of all ages can benefit from this content. Side note.. that whole "period" thing the culture is doing is so dumb. No need. It doesn't add anything to the conversation nor make you sound any more professional . Great content.
This is a GREAT video! the point about questioning purchasing habits was a good think piece. I'll say for me I want the item for free and the cash in hand so therefore, I won't be buying it 🤣
I don’t think a lot of these girls even pay for some of the stuff they get. It’s a trend because the world likes to see it and it makes for good TH-cam content. Hence Allyiahsface. But these girls are not really spending that money once they start making more money. 95% of what they get is free. I say keep doing you IT GIRLS! ❤❤❤
The consumerism and it girl trend will have you broke cause you are constantly trying to keep up with the Joneses. I had to learn first hand. I had to limit my social media cause it is easy to get influenced to run and go get all these must have products.
This is good, sis! I never been big on name brand clothing, but I’ll purchase fast fashion fit QUICK, lol! I can barely fit any of my clothes due to the quality, which is resulting in purging. I’m researching higher quality clothes, that can last, and ultimately be my basic capsule. This will help with overconsumption and overspending.
I’m what ppl consider a IG corporate baddie. I deactivated all social media. Only using TH-cam app now with an anonymous profile and I honestly feel free. I haven’t bought a Stanley or any crap…I don’t own any makeup and live a minimalist lifestyle in my nice apt in south Florida with my fiance…I’ll reactive if to post wedding pics but other than that I’m not falling for any more cults…already fell for that mlm cult bs when I was in a vulnerable place back in 2020
For me, it’s as simple as I don’t want a load of ish in my house and in my room that I don’t use. Seeing clutter and seeing stuff everywhere irritates me more than the joy I get from buying a new thing. I also like my money to stay in my bank account
YES! I'm a big saver and believer in treating money like it's not mine 🤣 it feels like I am stealing if I over spend or touch money in my savings account I am always asking myself am I actually going to use this.. and getting rid of things I don't touch or wear regularly. I am also a big fan of thrifting to save money. Stores like Plato's Closet, they have gotten kinda pricy but if you catch them on a good day like at the end of a season or during a clearance sale you can find some nice pieces. I have found brand new dresses, coats etc for $10 sometimes with the original tag being $20+
I love everything you’re saying I just have a question. It’s OK just to be myself right? Cause sometimes I get depressed. If I’m not doing the right thing, I don’t know.
I used to think I couldn’t be that girl because I am not spending my whole paycheck to look like everyone else. Then I realized that I am That Girl. I am an original It Girl because what I do makes me feel good. The products I use make me feel good. And I am a budget baddie and I love seeing my money work for me.
I doubled my income this year entering a new career instead of splurging I’m still living how I lived with my previous income… paying debt while saving
I worked along with a few of my female nurse friends during Covid and we made hundreds of thousands of dollars. Few years after Covid, all my female friends told me they had spent all the money we made. And they said it was on clothes, bags and shoes. Me on the other hand bought two houses cash. Consumerism is a killer especially in the black community. I wish more girls can watch this video and take your advice seriously.
That is crazyyyy. But congrats on the two houses 🎉
This is really ridiculous it makes me so upset.
Going back to school, nursing school with the accounting education. Thank god !
No I truly realized how consumerism empties my pockets CRAZY. Savings is really the best feeling. Nothing lasts except savings.
Definitely set up for people of color. They just don’t realize it.
I’ve come to the point where I can watch hauls and not feel the need to run out and buy anything, It’s just entertaining for me now. I fell into the “self-care” rabbit hole 2 years ago. I only have things I need and actually use now.
Same nope I am decluttering and throwing them out/giving away
That’s amazing. I’m in the process myself of decentralising ‘products’ from my concept of self-care and going back to the basics!
Same here 😊
I broke the "self care" products addiction when I realize I couldn't track what was expired. Never going back again, just sticking to the basics
@@leticiaabreu2815 sounds like you're doing the right thing and focusing on what's sustainable for you. Keep it up! :)
The overconsumption has gotten out of hand. Young ppl will literally put frivolous things like makeup and clothes on credit cards….that’s not a necessity! You should never pay interest on these items. Crazy!
I love it!! Give me the cash. Those expensive bags and shoes will do me NO GOOD when an unexpected situation comes up. I am a saver.
You hear me! I can’t pay a bill with none of’em! I’d rather take a trip, create an experience that’ll last for a lifetime! I’ll pass, Lol.
This!
Exactly! You can’t pay with trendy handbag for emergency doctor appointment
Same. I would stay in my tax bracket and stick with coach if I want something designer. But I won’t buy it unless I accomplished something major in life
I had an accident about a year ago that was nearly fatal. Nothing is more important than your health and peace. None of my handbags or shoes are of any help if you can’t walk. BUT I had an emergency fund that helped me keep my life going. I used to work in luxury fashion but once I I left that career, I don’t want to spend the money on that stuff. Drugstore makeup, skincare and Amazon clothes and shoes are just fine😊
This is so true. I was “that girl” when I was single. Afterngetting married I realized that seeing my money grow is a much better feeling of accomplishment and happiness than seeing the newest clothes, bags and shoes

“This Girl” that’s right!

A question I started asking myself before a purchase is ‘would I buy this if I couldn’t post it on social media’ stopped me over-consuming a lot.
That’s brilliant! & sadly so true! So many people wouldn’t make the purchases they make if they couldn’t flex & seek the approval of other people. But I get it, it’s human nature to want to be accepted, but not at my pockets expense Lol.
One of the things I always loved about you is that you were always budget friendly. You would do trendy things but you were always doing them while keeping in mind that everyone isn't rolling in dough lol. You always came across as humble and simple to me. Continue to progress on your journey
I appreciate you so much, I can’t even begin to explain! Thank you for coming to watch me boo! ❤️
Vowing to be this girl, not that girl!!! Love it💕
ITS A MUST!!! WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES! 💪🏽 💕
Yes to minimalism, having only things that I love and being disciplined with what I want = being debt free 😊

They’re called “influencers” for a reason.

This video is SO GOOD 💕 I have not seen consumerism talked about enough and your video explains it perfectly with great tips.
Especially your tip of questioning the purchase the way you did
I have had the mentality for a long time that if I don’t LOVE something or NEED something then Im not buying it…
Exactly! I’m so happy this is something I’m finally coming to grips with! Its all about what truly makes me happy & makes sense for my life! Thank you so much for coming to watch me! I appreciate you for being here! 💕
Omg... I love this whole video. Definitely going to apply this to my life. Thank you!!!
We definitely missed you and how relatable you are. You keep it authentic and to the point, while looking good and get us giggling all at once. Welcome back honey❤️
Y’all make me feel so bubbly inside, Lol as corny as it may sound! 😂😂😂 I appreciate you all so much! I appreciate you guys allowing me to be me & accepting of the changes I go through. You all welcomed me back with nothing but love & for that y’all will forever be the GOATS! 💕
So proud of you! 🩷
THANK YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is right on time and a refreshing reminder! I’m always on the side of frugal. Thanks for sharing
Yesss for the growth, Cousin!! Growing and glowing! I love it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes I was just talking about this. A lot of these vloggers are taking trips and buying all this stuff and are in so much debt. They are not teaching any positive lessons to anyone. I’m an it girl because I save my money, invest, and debt free, with a budget❤
this was actually a really good video! Well delivered and relatable. Both men and women of all ages can benefit from this content.
Side note.. that whole "period" thing the culture is doing is so dumb. No need. It doesn't add anything to the conversation nor make you sound any more professional .
Great content.
First video I have seen of yours and automatic subscribe! Great video!
thanks for the big sis talk cause i feel myself gettin pulled in
The problem is people who aren't financially wise or don't have money are just buying things to feel better emotionally.
Hey girl I see you been busy. Glad your back. Congrats on everything.
This is a GREAT video! the point about questioning purchasing habits was a good think piece. I'll say for me I want the item for free and the cash in hand so therefore, I won't be buying it 🤣
You are glowiinnngg 🤍🌸 so pretty
I appreciate you so much! 💗 thank you!!!!
Great video! So glad you’re back!!! Blessings to you and your new family ❤
It feels so good to be back!! I appreciate you for coming to see me!
Yess do a video on that!!!!! Cause I miss those!!!!🥰😘😘
This was very refreshing. Thanks for sharing ❤
I don’t think a lot of these girls even pay for some of the stuff they get. It’s a trend because the world likes to see it and it makes for good TH-cam content. Hence Allyiahsface. But these girls are not really spending that money once they start making more money. 95% of what they get is free. I say keep doing you IT GIRLS! ❤❤❤
I would love to see the updated bag collection ❤
This is fantastic advice! I LOVE when considering an item, would I want the cash or the item!!!
I Wish I Could Like This 1000 Times ❤️
The consumerism and it girl trend will have you broke cause you are constantly trying to keep up with the Joneses. I had to learn first hand. I had to limit my social media cause it is easy to get influenced to run and go get all these must have products.
An amazing video this is the kind of content I want to be seeing ❤
Awesome video/word!!! I couldn't agree with you more!
I’m so happy you enjoyed this! I appreciate you so much for coming to watch! 💕
@@CourtneyBee nooooo problem! Ur welcome 🙏🏽 💕
I totally needed this video and this girl is subscribing ❤
This is good, sis! I never been big on name brand clothing, but I’ll purchase fast fashion fit QUICK, lol! I can barely fit any of my clothes due to the quality, which is resulting in purging. I’m researching higher quality clothes, that can last, and ultimately be my basic capsule. This will help with overconsumption and overspending.
I’m what ppl consider a IG corporate baddie. I deactivated all social media. Only using TH-cam app now with an anonymous profile and I honestly feel free. I haven’t bought a Stanley or any crap…I don’t own any makeup and live a minimalist lifestyle in my nice apt in south Florida with my fiance…I’ll reactive if to post wedding pics but other than that I’m not falling for any more cults…already fell for that mlm cult bs when I was in a vulnerable place back in 2020
Loved everything about this ❤
I’m so happy you enjoyed this! I appreciate you so much! 💕
For me, it’s as simple as I don’t want a load of ish in my house and in my room that I don’t use. Seeing clutter and seeing stuff everywhere irritates me more than the joy I get from buying a new thing. I also like my money to stay in my bank account
Heavy on staying off social media, it’s so sneaky in getting you to buy stuff you don’t need.
Loved this
I’m so happy you did! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
YES! I'm a big saver and believer in treating money like it's not mine 🤣 it feels like I am stealing if I over spend or touch money in my savings account
I am always asking myself am I actually going to use this.. and getting rid of things I don't touch or wear regularly.
I am also a big fan of thrifting to save money. Stores like Plato's Closet, they have gotten kinda pricy but if you catch them on a good day like at the end of a season or during a clearance sale you can find some nice pieces. I have found brand new dresses, coats etc for $10 sometimes with the original tag being $20+
Applause!! Good vid/message. Kudos to you 👏🏽
I appreciate you so much! ❤️

I love everything you’re saying I just have a question. It’s OK just to be myself right? Cause sometimes I get depressed. If I’m not doing the right thing, I don’t know.
That cash baby period!!! Because I can take five of that and get things I need for my home and put the other five away!!!!!🥰
Hey friend!!!!🥰☺️😘
I used to think I couldn’t be that girl because I am not spending my whole paycheck to look like everyone else. Then I realized that I am That Girl. I am an original It Girl because what I do makes me feel good. The products I use make me feel good. And I am a budget baddie and I love seeing my money work for me.
This was a great video.
You are a doll -- thanks!
