Surprise!! A Tuesday upload?! *cue the gasps* Hope you enjoy this bonus video for the week :) Let me know a purchase you regret to make me feel better about that dress sitting in my closet LOL
@@caitlinmariedasilva You could always rent a dress from Null or Rent the Runway. Great way to have a dress when you need it but not spend the full price and have to keep it for no reason
Best purchase: airpods just because it makes life easier. Worst purchase: buying a fancy suitcase that is 1,5 cm too wide as a hand luggage for every airline in the world 😂.
I wish I was as smart as you are when I was 24! Purchases that I don't regret - decent footwear (I never skimp on comfort & quality) and winter tires (firm believer in these!). Purchases I regret - clothes that are a little too small (bought with the hope that they would be incentive to lose that extra bit of weight...so foolish!) and my second car (should have done more research...lesson learned!). Even though I'm old, I enjoy watching your videos on money management - they're really informative and interesting to me. :)
Happy to hear my money videos are helpful, Deborah! 🥰 I totally get what you mean about the clothing one- nowadays I don’t let myself buy something I don’t feel 100% comfortable in! Not worth the dollars or space 🤪
I’m only 22 and my husband is 21 however so far our best purchases have been 1. Truck 2. Wedding 3. Canvas family photos 4.bedroom set Our worst purchases have been 1. Fabric couch and automan (we have a 2 yr old and a 14 month old so it’s always dirty and we can’t wash the cushions.) 2. Eating out to often (we eat supper at home, then crave something when we go for a drive to get the children to sleep) 3. I purchased a Cricut thinking I was going to have time to craft/ and be willing to put money into materials.
I am laughing out loud because at the end of 2020 I realized that rainboots are my best purchase of the year :D But I live in a climate and town that is perfect for them.
@@caitlinmariedasilva well.... technically if you use it more than once, that’s better value for money even if that’s at home 🤣 after all that’s how people suggest you see whether an item is worth the price (by how often you wear it and so how much it costs per wear and if it’s worth it)! 😂
Oh my gosh the dress thing is exactly what my mom said to me when I was prom dress shopping a few years ago! This was an amazing video! Me thinking about how much stationery I've bought that I hardly ever use. 🤦🏼♀️
My husband and I bought a very expensive mattress with a lifetime warranty! It put a big dent in our savings but it has been SO worth it! I am so guilty of buying fast food or packs of underwear that end up being uncomfortable and don't fit, when I could have spent the money on a good pair of underwear in the color I actually want!
Also in terms of shopping for events, consider borrowing from a friend or family members (there are even rental services now) and also purchasing a versatile dress/item that can be worn multiple ways or to multiple events.
I just want to say, about the dress, that I BOUGTH TWO WEDDING DRESSES. The first one was "good enough" but I was not really convinced, because it wasn't a clear dress (i didn't want a white dress, nor a super colorful dress). So I bought a second one, a green-white-pearl dress that was PERFECT. And i cannot return the first one, so... yeah, two wedding dresses.
Great video, my fave recent purchase my Kindle. I love books to hold but oh my days the convenience of the Kindle is mind blowing. My hunter boots have lasted more than 10 years and I wear them everyday walking, you got a purchase for life there😅 x
Best purchases of 2020/2021: Ipod helped me be a better runner, Deebot (cheaper version of ROOMBA) helped with vacuuming chore, WORX cart helps in my garden and a Dyson vacuum that's cordless. It makes for quick cleanups. Worst purchase: Olympus OM-D em10 mark iii mirrorless camera. I find it too hard to autofocus for wildlife photography.
You are my role model. You gave me joy and inspo when i need it the most. Keep doing what ur doing and never stop being you, You are amazing . Thank you.
Yay a bonus video! So one of my worst purchases is my curling station (not sure what to call it). It's a little device that heats up all your curl roll thingies so you can get beautiful curls! Let me tell you, I am a "brush and go" kinda person so this thing has been gathering dust for a solid 8+ years.
Best: ergonomic desk set-up (chair, foot rest), pricey but so worth it for spending time working and playing at my computer. Worst: Archer bows-never ended up getting into archery. Although I always think it would be fun they’ve had no use and I spent way too much getting much higher quality than my skill level. Thank you for doing a finances/money video. Keep them coming!
I used the same corporate finance book in Uni, just brought back such bad memories😂😂also feel your pain on buying new textbooks, I have too many stored in boxes that I couldn’t sell/give to friends
I love your savings/budgeting/money related content! Specially from a strong independent woman! jajaja The coffee purchases spoke to me 😂 thanks to quarantine and working from home I have really saved on my daily coffee purchase!
It's my first year of college, I had to buy a laptop for myself, and I splurged on some accessories. I sprung for a wrist support mousepad and an ergonomic mouse, but best accessory so far is my tablet. I didn't want to be printing out a zillion papers and slides, so I use one oneNote on my tablet and mark up the slides there, as well as snip macro and other questions to do them with the stylus. So convenient!
I love my hunter boots! Can't say I wore them for much of 2020 since I didn't go anywhere but for the few years before I was wearing them all the time in the fall-spring. They're the best boot ever when you just know your feet are gonna get wet. (and I live like 2 hours south of Toronto) :)
I love the reflections on the best and worst purchases!! I really think it's important to start these type of money conversations!! (I also really enjoyed your post AND video on budgeting!! 💵) UofT textbook prices made me want to NOT check my bank account, but alas, we learn and we grow 😩
Great video 😊 I would say my worst purchases (right now) were my desk and chair for my home office. I'm typically at work all day so for the chair I got a fancy zebra striped office chair that is not ideal spending hours at my desk during COVID! No butt support or back support, and no arm rests. BUT for the desk I was able to get creative and purchase a cheaper desk to make it into an L shape. So helpful! And was an easier fix than brand new L shape Edited to add that I got these years ago with no issues except during covid when working from home!
Oh yes! I have discovered my office chair is not ideal too - mine is pretty bad 🤪 glad you were able to make your desk work for you though! Thanks so much for sharing Tara ❤️
You never need to buy a textbook! Use library genesis and download the pdf. The only reason you may even want to buy is if you need the physical copy to comprehend better or something.
Because of your “plan with me” videos, I learned about Archer & Olive notebooks. I love these notebooks because they have the best paper. It’s worth the investment. (Cheap therapy) Thanks for the Tuesday upload. 💕
My biggest mistake I made in my 30s when I moved to downtown Toronto. I love my Mississauga and this is where I belong. I’m glad it only made me 14 months in Toronto this realize this
I loveeee my Hunter boots. I'm also in Toronto and I honestly just use them as my winter boots too by putting the big sock inserts in them when it's really cold. I tend to go back and forth between my Hunters and my Timberlands as my go-to boots in the winter depending on the outfit so I can use these both interchangeably throughout the year.
A lot of the time warranties are not needed. It’s a good idea to check your jurisdictional consumer laws because you MIGHT be covered for a period of time that would be deemed “reasonable” to expect the item to last, warranty or not. I have found that this has covered me a couple of times for longer than the warranty would have been anyway. Not always, but for big ticket items, it sometimes holds true. It is a bit more paperwork though. Great video! Love the new money content
I totally relate to the hunter boots. I actually made the mistake of wearing them in the winter and they cracked! So then they literally didn't do what they were made for (keep my feet dry lol). Definitely a waste of money!
YAY!!!! I know it’s work coming up with content and filming/editing/posting, but when I see your posts I get super excited!!! Thanks for gracing us with another wonderful post today. I love to have your posts running while I’m working.. makes for a peaceful day. 😊
I love these money videos- keep them coming! I’m glad you’re planning on making more this year. I have many best and worst purchases, maybe too many 😅 some small, some big. Best purchase is an adapter for my car so I can charge my phone on the go. I’ve got an old car so it doesn’t have a USB port. Also, another best purchase is my laptop that isn’t refurbished. Worst purchases include folders that I bought “just in case” and excessive amount of pens that are refillable- why didn’t I just buy the ink?!
Glad to hear you’re looking forward to them!! And omgggg I kind of relate to the folders one- I have so many unused binders in my office. Had a habit of buying a couple at the start of every school year lol 😅 thanks for sharing!!
Best: ikea raskog kart, I can store all my pens in one place Most expensive: My laptop (i'm 17), but I needed it so yea Worst: a sweater that didn't fit :> Can't think of another bad purchase:)
Hi Caitlin!!! I love your videos. Not sure if you will see this but I am into art and journaling so the best purchase I ever made were my supplies obviously!!😍😍 My worst purchase was.. Probably a 3 tier shelf as I thought I need it but now I dont use it. Also, it was expensive!!😅😅🤪
Love this video, it made me feel a little bit better for my impulse buys 🥵 would love to see a video on how to budget with a varying income or what you’ve learned about money and spending money when you moved out or “grew up” 😊 anyways love your videos and always look forward to watching them every week
This was such a great video!! 👏🏼 In terms of those Hunter boots, could you wear them on snowy days too? I have a pair and they’re my go-to thrown on boots after snow storms since they’re waterproof. Might be an option if you want to wear them more often in Toronto.
I totally agree! I get more use out of Hunters than my actual winter boots, especially when I was doing slushy commutes. But I have the short ankle style, I find them a lot more practical and easier to wear than the tall ones.
Thanks !! Yeah I definitely could get a sock insert but you have to be careful with the temperature you wear them in because at a certain point, you risk cracking the boot (Canada problems LOL)! I personally find a winter boot still ideal for snow....also easier to take off haha 🤣 but it’s nice that they have those add-ons to give the boots more purposes 😍🙌
Worse lockdown purchase for me was a shakti acupuncture mat - I hate it, and a garmin fenix watch - far to chunky to wear and complicated to use. Oh, and my annual parking permit for work which I brought at the beginning of March last year - used for 2 weeks and I’ve not been back to the office since (uk COVID restrictions)
Check out Paperblanks journals!! They are Canadian-made and they are so beautiful, they even sometimes have discounts on their website which is totally worth it. Their bookmarks are such good quality as well :) Love your videos!
As a cat owner, the best purchase is my vacuum cleaner. My previous one was cheap and didn't really do anything but with this current one I actually like cleaning :DDd
I love your videos Caitlin!! One time I saw you at Almond Butterly (UofT student too!) and I’m so sad I was too shy to say hi😂 Thanks so much for you thoughtful, enjoyable content!!
This is less of a material purchase, but no doubt one of the best purchases I’ve ever made was hiring movers when moving into our home, instead of trying to manage it all by ourselves!
Love this! Also i just saw that your in Canada and you should definitely check out book outlet! I love reading and e-books but some times I really want a physical copy and they have such great steals on books!
I think my worst purchase has to be my desk chair... I bought it just because it looked good with the rest of the room, but I didn't know it would be THAT uncomfortable. I spend many hours a day working on my computer sitting on that chair... I'm saving now to buy a really good chair next 😂 Kind of similar to what happened to you with your mattress...
Best purchase: Journals and getting into journaling Worst purchase: probably iPod because I don't use it as often right now as I used to in the past (also due to the pandemic and being constantly in home office)
I really regret my hunter boots too. I wore them in the winter with the socks for them that they sell, and they CRACKED IN HALF LOL. A huge slit that my toe was coming out! When I called Hunter they told me they aren't to be worn in less than 1 degree? So why do they sell the socks for cold weather 😂 Never again lol
My worst purchase and one that I still do is to buy cheap headphones, I always say I'm going to invest in ones with good quality but I never do it and I have to replace them very often since they don't really last much
Ok so. I don't wear dresses but this one time I went to the mall and saw this beautiful long dress in navy blue. I thought at the time that I will wear it when the time comes. It's been two years and I have never worn it. lol!
Surprise!! A Tuesday upload?! *cue the gasps* Hope you enjoy this bonus video for the week :) Let me know a purchase you regret to make me feel better about that dress sitting in my closet LOL
That was a nice surprise Caitlin! Thanks! Now I am gonna have some coffee!😍😍☕️👌
Love love love money conversations especially from a female perspective.
Aww thanks !! I think it’s such an important conversation to have...definitely plan to do more money focused videos in 2021!
The dress thing is so relatable! I have a collection of dresses that I bought for one party and never wore after that! 😅
We always think we’ll have a reason to wear them again lol 🤪

that transition from your laptop to the sit-down footage tho ✨ really loved this video and I'm super interested in more finance-related content!
Thanks for noticing that, Isadora- I was reallllly proud of that one 🤣🙌

Please could you share your at home coffee recipes, fellow coffee lover here :)
I need to remember to showcase in a vlog!!
The cut to you editing this video and the audio lined up??? That scratched a part of my brain I didn’t know was itchy
I'm twenty and love these types of advice/life chat videos from you!! It's like talking to the big sister i never had 😊😊
Okay, but let's see the dress 👀💃🏻
just the level of happiness you show when talking about coffee makes me so happy 😂
Truly my love 🤣🙌
You know, maybe one of these days, you can wear this dress for a video or a normal work day 😂
I am determined to save it for an event so I get the most value for my money LOLOL
@@caitlinmariedasilva Your self control is super admirable! I hope one of these days we all get to see it and say "It's THE dress!!"
Haha yeah I wonder how long it’ll take for that moment to happen 🤪🤣

Totally agree with you in regards to textbooks... But my books... I'm proud of those! And I'm saving up for a Roomba!!! ;)
Books are always something to be proud of 😍🙌
the squatty potty was my best for sure
Great video, my fave recent purchase my Kindle. I love books to hold but oh my days the convenience of the Kindle is mind blowing.
My hunter boots have lasted more than 10 years and I wear them everyday walking, you got a purchase for life there😅 x
Kindle is probably on my top 3 best purchases of life, I'm not even gonna say of my twenties ❤
the switch from you talking in the editing software to fullscreen 🤯🤯 that was trippy
Sometimes I have a “wow look at that” editing moment and that was definitely one of them 🤣🙌
It was the Hunter Boots walk for me! LOL. Loved this video!!

❤️❤️❤️ thank-you so much for the sweet words 🥺
I feel you. The first mattress I bought was HORRIBLE. It’s now sitting in a storage unit

Wahoo! Hope you enjoyed, Laura ❤️
I love these money videos- keep them coming! I’m glad you’re planning on making more this year.
I have many best and worst purchases, maybe too many 😅 some small, some big. Best purchase is an adapter for my car so I can charge my phone on the go. I’ve got an old car so it doesn’t have a USB port. Also, another best purchase is my laptop that isn’t refurbished.
Worst purchases include folders that I bought “just in case” and excessive amount of pens that are refillable- why didn’t I just buy the ink?!
Glad to hear you’re looking forward to them!! And omgggg I kind of relate to the folders one- I have so many unused binders in my office. Had a habit of buying a couple at the start of every school year lol 😅 thanks for sharing!!
Best: ikea raskog kart, I can store all my pens in one place
Most expensive: My laptop (i'm 17), but I needed it so yea
Worst: a sweater that didn't fit :>
Can't think of another bad purchase:)
Ohhhh that cart has been a great purchase for me too 😍🙌
I TOTALLY agree for the mattress, i've made the same error 😅 now : confort before price
Painful, right?! 🤣
@@caitlinmariedasilva yes 🥴
I live in the states and use Libby for books now that I am an adult. It is great! Plus audio books are available!
The excitement I get everytime you upload thoooo ❤️ excited to hang out with you 🤗
For me, best decision: laptop and worst: acrylic paint. Bought so much when I had a "painting" phase that I gave most of it away.
Best Purchase: Good heavy fabric shears!!
Hi Caitlin!!! I love your videos. Not sure if you will see this
but I am into art and journaling so the best purchase I ever made were my supplies obviously!!😍😍
My worst purchase was.. Probably a 3 tier shelf as I thought I need it but now I dont use it. Also, it was expensive!!😅😅🤪

So glad this video was helpful 😭🙌 ohhh those are some great ideas...I’m making note! I plan to do more budget talk this year!

I totally agree! I get more use out of Hunters than my actual winter boots, especially when I was doing slushy commutes. But I have the short ankle style, I find them a lot more practical and easier to wear than the tall ones.

@@shannonm2558 I have the shorter ones too, NO problem taking them off!
Maybe an odd one but my best purchase last year was period panties! My God, life changer!
Worse lockdown purchase for me was a shakti acupuncture mat - I hate it, and a garmin fenix watch - far to chunky to wear and complicated to use. Oh, and my annual parking permit for work which I brought at the beginning of March last year - used for 2 weeks and I’ve not been back to the office since (uk COVID restrictions)
Not the work permit!! Ahhhh!! Beginning of March 2020 was a different time 😅😅😅
Best: dyson, "new" car, "new" fridge, scrimba subscription. 💖
Check out Paperblanks journals!! They are Canadian-made and they are so beautiful, they even sometimes have discounts on their website which is totally worth it. Their bookmarks are such good quality as well :) Love your videos!
Oh I will have to look into those 😍 thanks so much!! 🥰🙌
My worst purchase is probably my silhouette portrait cutting machine, because I never use it (anymore) 😅 Best purchase is my iPad mini!
I agree with the mattress. I did the same thing!
As a cat owner, the best purchase is my vacuum cleaner. My previous one was cheap and didn't really do anything but with this current one I actually like cleaning :DDd
I love your videos Caitlin!! One time I saw you at Almond Butterly (UofT student too!) and I’m so sad I was too shy to say hi😂 Thanks so much for you thoughtful, enjoyable content!!
Omg no way! Next time you see me, say hi! 😍🙌 never regret a visit to Almond Butterfly...their chocolate chip cookies are delishhhh 🥰
I really relate to this, I love your money content!
my best purchase in 2020 was definitely my record player + records!!
You can always try to sell the hunter boots or the other purchases that you haven’t used that often! Ps love these kind of videos !
This is less of a material purchase, but no doubt one of the best purchases I’ve ever made was hiring movers when moving into our home, instead of trying to manage it all by ourselves!
I will be taking note of this whenever I move LOL
Love this! Also i just saw that your in Canada and you should definitely check out book outlet! I love reading and e-books but some times I really want a physical copy and they have such great steals on books!
Oh yes! I have bought from Book Outlet before- another great way to save $$$!! Thanks for sharing !
I love your vids!!
Thanks so much ☺️
I think my worst purchase has to be my desk chair... I bought it just because it looked good with the rest of the room, but I didn't know it would be THAT uncomfortable. I spend many hours a day working on my computer sitting on that chair... I'm saving now to buy a really good chair next 😂 Kind of similar to what happened to you with your mattress...
Best purchase: Journals and getting into journaling
Worst purchase: probably iPod because I don't use it as often right now as I used to in the past (also due to the pandemic and being constantly in home office)
One of my best purchases of 2020 was a cyan Bluetooth Speaker
Love the personal finance videos!! Like how you run your business and pay yourself off of youtube
Thanks, Alicia! 🥰❤️
Hi Caitlin's Corner, I like your content. I love watching your videos.
Thanks so much, Joyleen!
My best purchase for myself, university degrees!!!
I really regret my hunter boots too. I wore them in the winter with the socks for them that they sell, and they CRACKED IN HALF LOL. A huge slit that my toe was coming out! When I called Hunter they told me they aren't to be worn in less than 1 degree? So why do they sell the socks for cold weather 😂 Never again lol
hey mama do you think you can do an advice cideo for new content creators?
My worst purchase and one that I still do is to buy cheap headphones, I always say I'm going to invest in ones with good quality but I never do it and I have to replace them very often since they don't really last much
Oh yes, I have bought my fair share of cheap headphones too 😅
"oh its sad" hahahah I love your videos
If you have the resources, do you recommend a separate ereader and tablet? Or is paying more for a spacious IPad (or similar device) better?
Loved the video! Now I want to get a roomba :D
Great video!
Ok so. I don't wear dresses but this one time I went to the mall and saw this beautiful long dress in navy blue. I thought at the time that I will wear it when the time comes. It's been two years and I have never worn it. lol!
Oh these are so me to dresses are the worst and coffee I spend soooo much on coffee lol
Such a pleasant surprise! ♥️♥️
Wahoo! Enjoy the video, Merlin ❤️🥰
And you’ll need those rain boots whenever you come to Vancouver 😅
I bought a condo when i was 30. Big mistake and regretted it a lot. Now i rent and much happier

With your mattress, can’t you return it within 6mo to a year?
You mean you live in Ontario not Canada haha. Here in Vancouver rain boots are worth it!
