When you talk about money, people have opinions!

- I knew that talking openly about my finances here would encourage 'opinions' so here are my thoughts on that! As I keep saying this is how I live well on less, other ways of doing it are available!
You know Ali, I think some people get jealous when they see a bright, capable,clever women with a lovely home coping really well on a low budget. This is because they know they couldn’t do it! You have to have a disciplined mindset and lots of confidence which you do. Keep going, you have really inspired me.
Thanks! My wee house isn't quite lovely yet but it will be in time!! I might do a home tour if people are interested 🙂
Yes please to the home tour.@@aliliveswellonless
@@aliliveswellonlessyes please! 😊
@@aliliveswellonlessyes that would bevfgun
I love your video
You are down to earth
Ignore the rude people
I think u are great. Live is too short. My dad worked 2 jobs for most of his life to rear a large irish family. I'm the youngest of 8. When he retired at 65, he planned to travel to visit his siblings abroad. He got sick 2 months after his retirement, had 2 years of treatment for cancer, and died at 67. I'm 56 and gave up work 6 months ago. I love my life now. I spend time with my son, who is 16, I cook dinners from scratch. I enjoy my dogs, and I swim every day. I feel I can breathe again.
Life is very short.
My Mam never reached pension age and died suddenly at 51.
Enjoy every day x
People in the comments never fail to disappoint me. I think part of it is the disconnect when people communicate online. The rest is ignorance and a dire lack of manners 🙈
Bless you, I think you’re honest and straight forward. Who cares what people think. I’m 60 and don’t want to be everyone’s friend, love me or hate me, I’m past pleasing people. ❤
Me too
If you don't like me stay away from me, I don't care
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Well done.
Dogs are so much nicer than people. Shame on you, those who left nasty comments. Go away and grumble somewhere else! X
Oh dear lord! The rudeness is truly astounding. Jealousy and bitterness are not very becoming traits. I'm pleased to have found your channel. Humour, intelligence, frankness, transparency and frugality all in one place. 🎉
Retiring early is a brave and bold move! I retired at 55. I will be 62 in two months. I have never regretted saying goodbye to working.
I think you are amazing and i love your channel .....i lived on a reduced nurses pension 630 a month no saving no debt no mortgage, it was doable with reduced expectations .... but i had a good life... i also paid house and car costs from that....
It’s very generous of you to share your history and your financial journey and it is appreciated by the majority I’m sure. Listening to you in this past few weeks has made me wake up and address some financial imbalances in my marriage, so thank you Ali 🙂👍🏽🙏🏽🙂
Same here. X
Me too
You are very brave talking about money! I refuse to explain to anyone how I managed to retire at 60! Like you Covid was the final straw. Had a very good job as a nurse, but enough!
Do not regret it. Live in a 1 bedroom flat. Small car. Happy. Don’t need more. Shame on those rude people who can’t budget!
I think some people confuse living well with living lavishly. It is perfectly possible to curate a cosy, clean, well presented home in a very frugal way.Anyone who has ever been in the position of having to live very frugally at some point in their lives (myself included) often comes through it having learned very valuable life skills and with a different attitude towards life and money. I identify with a lot of what you say and am enjoying your channel. If certain people do not believe you can manage on your stated income then I think that is simply because they personally could not !
Yaaaay to the algorithm 😆
I don’t think many people realise there are a lot of people whose earned wages are around £10k a year and they manage (and some even manage to support a family on that)
Hi Ali, some people are so rude they just are not really worth bothering about. I really enjoy your channel and your blunt Scottish accent. I am 89 and have enjoyed my life. I live with my son now because when my husband and I retired we sold up in the UK and moved to Spain we had 10 wonderful years out there then my husband got terminal cancer so we came back and he died 6 months later. I sold my villa in Spain and was able to give my two grandsons the deposit for their own homes and help my two children out as well. I live in the South East and property is very expensive so I was able to sent them up while I was still alive to see them enjoy it. I live with my son because he is alone and we enjoy each others company I have a good state pension and two small private pensions and some savings as well. I have paid for my funeral so now I am enjoying the rest of my life with my children.
How wonderful! It sounds like you and your husband made the best life possible for yourselves!❤
Ignore the ignorant ones Ali, your true community is here too and we appreciate you ☺️🌟💜
Keep on keeping on and doing what you're doing. Love your channel. I learn a lot and enjoy your videos immensely🤗💜
I LOVE the comment about not spelling the word correctly. Well done you. I laughed out loud ! Keep doing what you are doing 👍
Well said Ali 🙂 I think we both know from our years of blogging that people read and hear what they want to, and feel a real compunction to tell us we are lying, making things up or 'doing it wrong' ... which usually just means not doing it their way. My 36 year old son is starting to really see and moan about the 'younger generation' wanting it all immediately with no effort or saving up on their part ... gosh his ramblings make me feel old. 😂 But it's nice to be vindicated. Keep up the great videos. You're building a special place for all us 'old fogeys'. 😄
People can be so rude and judgemental sometimes- without knowing all the facts (and why should we know everything?)
There seems to be a total lack of understanding of the difference between being 'cash poor', which you are at present, and having built up resources over a working lifetime.
I am really enjoying your channel - I am lucky enough to be in a slightly better financial position than you are at present (full teacher's pension and carer's allowance - but like you, no state pension yet) but your tips and ideas are making me think about my weekly choices and spending habits, and I'm more in control at the moment.
Please keep going!
It’s all about choices, love to see your frugal tips and experiences.
Fully agree she is doing great 👍
Credit to you, my mum always taught us children to have a war cupboard and taught us how to make cheap hearty meals which I make to this day and freeze leftovers for another day…. I am looking forward to the day I retire and subbing to your channel as you really have some good tips … Haters love to hate ignore them 😊
you don't owe anyone an explanation
I'm 51 years old living in the south east with stressful job, we are selling up and moving to North east to be able to work part time and enjoy life a bit more. I love your channel, thanks for sharing.
I enjoy your vids , it inspires me foodwise and make me think about my own ER
The north east is wonderful. I am from the south east and now live in the north east. Great move.
I’m so sorry to hear you are getting these impertinent questions when all you are doing is sharing your life experiences and showing how you cope with your lot. Stay strong, ignore the keyboard warriors and keep sharing 💪🏼🙌🏻
Hi Ali, absolutely love your videos. You are so genuine and honest. It’s a shame that you have to justify yourself to the trolls but every channel gets them.
One of the most profound statements I’ve ever heard on the subject of work vs. retirement is, “Every time you put effort in to work, and you’re making a little bit of money, you’d better have a very good plan as to what you are going to do with that money, because you are using up you life”!
Always enjoy your videos Ali... ignore all the negative comments...
Keep going hen 😃
I can totally relate to you. I was totally burnt out with my career and took early retirement. I live a frugal but happy and peaceful life. I am so happy that I made this decision. I was diagnosed with breast cancer this summer and very grateful that I have the time to heal without the stress of work.We live in a world where everyone has to spend money to be happy and that is not case . Keep doing what you are doing.
I hope you are healing well and on the road to recovery. Sending you much love 💕
Can't believe you're having to explain about your sofa! But it shows that lots of people have no idea how to manage money or understand that sacrifices lead to better money management. You are doing good for others.
Yes! I think it's a money management issue. I've had to learn how to do it, so anyone can!! :-)
Hello Ali! I love your outlook. I am planning to retire early in 1-2 years - it’s tempting to carry on to earn more, but seeing you so happy convinces me that happiness and health are more important. Ignore the haters, you are great and so is Luna.
What interests me is how expectations have changed around retirement. My grandparents were retired; they lived in a small bungalow, ran a small old car and a small old dog and had very few luxuries. They spent their days gardening, walking by the sea and visiting their friends nearby and they were very happy. But people these days seem to expect a motorhome, cruises, big houses, big cars… it is reassuring to know that some people are content to live simply and frugally in retirement. The best things in life are free anyway - it’s a cliche but it’s true.
I had a little laugh when you said you answer back to some snarky comments. Good for you, but, it's awful how people think its ok to make nasty comments, what about the old saying...If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all! Also enjoyed the marshmallow analogy😂 Good luck with your channel, I will for one, continue to watch and enjoy☺️
I find your channel and the comments very interesting. One of my jobs involves working on household income and expenditure - meeting households face to face and doing a deep dive into their finances. The differences astound me - one can be a couple on £50k each, no debts and think they are just about getting by. Another can be a couple living on £18K who think they’re doing well.
Ali what are people like it amazes me. You are fantastic. Keep doing what you are doing. As a early retirey myself I know exactly where you are coming from. I get told constantly how lucky I am but you say choices were made. I like the marsh mallow analogy .You take care and of that beautiful dog you have .
You don't need to qualify yourself at all. You are money savvy and it's working for you. I was in a similar situation and if you have had the 'think ahead' plan like me and you then why not make the most of it. Block the nay sayers and just enjoy the community that you are building. Take care =-)
I find you and your channel inspirational
Give so much thought about the future
Hi Ali, the rude comments on line never cease to amaze me. As you said, if a viewer doesn’t like the channel, don’t watch. I’ve watched a couple of frugal channels that others love but I thought they were too ‘preachy’. I never made a rude comment though, I just unsubscribed. The difference I feel with you is that you constantly say ‘this is me’, and you talk about your choices, and that I find so relatable. We are all different, and that should be respected. Take care x
Oh boy, it must be exhausting judging everyone so much! Live & let live x
I think the issue around money is we've been encouraged to become a debt based society. It is possible to look at your outgoings and make a plan to reduce your debts. You can downsize your home, change your car. You can keep the same phone until it breaks. I think because our circumstances are all different you have to start where you are with what you have. It's a very triggering subject for some people.
I agree it is a very triggering subject for some people. And those are the very people who need to think about it. Great comment!
@@aliliveswellonless exactly we don't need to continuously have the latest gadget etc or designer gear or brand of car. It's good to learn to live within your means.
Your remark about keeping the same phone until it breaks made me chuckle. Last year my Nokia 3310 finally died. I was heartbroken and hate my new android phone with a vengeance. I bet it won't last as long either😂😂😂
@@nosnarcmik I had one of them battery lasted forever. I Google the top budget smart phones and go from there. As long as I can make phone calls and text that's all I'm bothered about 😁
Thank you for sharing these videos. Sorry to hear some people can be judgmental and rude, please don’t let this put you off continuing to share your hepful & frugal tips.
Don't worry, I will be! :-)
Thanks for this - I have nothing meaningful to add (not a morning person anyway, you don't get sense from me before midday), but you've just said that commenting adds to the algorithm, so I'm commenting!
Thanks! :-)
Ali, you have managed to plan and do something that has worked for you, and importantly, helped you stay healthy which keeping working may not have done. That’s something I admire and what some people say is more likely envy. I also would say that for many of us living alone, a pet is truly a wonderful furry friend who also keeps many of us sane and active, gets us out and helps us in so many ways. For those of us this applies to, I honestly don’t believe that anyone can judge or say it’s a luxury. It’s lovely that Luna joins in your videos too 💕🐾🐾
I like the fact you are giving a voice to women who are often disadvantaged through working part time and child rearing, don't listen to the haters. Financial planning and frugal living with cautious spending/living within your means is something alot of people don't want to think about. I have always saved hard and that mentality has passed onto my daughters. They are managing their student budgets and thinking about how to save money. They are not spending on drinking, but still having a great time.
I find it inspiring how you live on such low income! This is the reason I found your channel. Frugality is a mindset and a matter of a series of decisions on a daily basis to CHOOSE how one uses their resources.
When the haters and critics come out, you know you are onto something 💪 Keep up the great work!
Brilliant comment! It's absolutely a mindset and all about choices :-)
Telling people about your credit card experience is very important. We've been married for 40 years and are now retired. We've always used the same credit card, same number but a card each with our own names on it. My husband read an article and was shocked to learn that there is no such thing as a joint credit card (which is what we thought it was). We visited the bank who said that there was a primary holder and a secondary holder. If the primary holder dies, the secondary holder CANNOT use the card any longer -- the bank will definitely cut off the card and could even charge the secondary holder with fraud if they continue to use the card. Since I was the secondary holder I had to apply for a card in my name. Many people don't know this until the worst happens. What a shock that would be.
Well done for being on the ball and doing it before you were in a sad situation that could have been made worse by having no credit card. That's why it's so important to talk about this :-)
@@aliliveswellonless I obtained a card with me as the primary holder. We live frugally too and ALWAYS pay our balance every month. Some places don't even take cash any more! The joint bank account was really a joint bank account. Good channel Ali!
G'morning from S Africa. I'm glad you don't take opinions of the rubbish to heart. You do you. You have a lot of subscribers who obviously enjoy and find your channel interesting (like me) so carry on Girl 🎉
We did everything wrong but still did okay. I like your honesty and how you get along on so little. It’s helpful and insightful. I’m older but old dogs can learn new tricks!❤
Love your wee channel and please ignore the trolls, your lifestyle and honest delivery is why we watch, 5k already🎉🎉🎉🎉
It constantly amazes and shocks me how rude and judgemental some people can be in comments. Are they as rude in their face to face relationships I wonder? Despicable behaviour in my view....
I love the marshmallow experiment. It sums up human nature I think. Some of us wait patiently for the good things in life and some of us want them NOW! For too long we have been encouraged into debt for a new/top of the range car, the latest iPhone, newest technology etc Hubby and I never did that and have still enjoyed life.
Thank you for sharing your story, Ali, you are one amazing woman 😊❤
Angie
Ali, your channel is brilliant! It's interesting how the green-eyed monster rears its ugly head in some people! Love from a fellow Australian teacher... ❤
The key thing I think you talk about is quality of life and abundance whether health, wealth and Luna is the epitome of that ❤
Ignore any negative comments. You're doing fantastically 🎉🎉
Hi, people have 'tunnel vision' & can only see life the way they live it & a lot of people don't manage their money properly, so they think others can't possibly live on a small amount of money. Also, over 50s get car insurance cheaper. Older people like you & me I'm 57 don't need as much & I certainly don't understand where these rude dudes are coming from! Annoys the hell out of me.Unless you've been there don't assume, ask questions! Great channel thank you 😊
To all those people who want to leave rude or intrusive comments please move on elsewhere else Ali is building her channel for herself and others who will get so much from it..Manners cost nothing and your trolling says more about you than the response you are seeking to acquire.....Loving the channel Ali - Your communtiy is increasing for a reason.
@dylandog51 Very well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ach, I feel for you lovely...I've been getting this for the last seven and a half years.....and it doesn't get easier to deal with! I've been called every nasty name under the sun. Some folk (the nasties) simply can't imagine how we live on so little and therefore assume there must be a secret pot of gold under the bed....or that we are lying. 😉 No matter how much you explain it all they will still be nasty to you. I shalln't tell you to simply ignore them......because it's impossible to.......just keep being you with all your honesty and integrity.....because there will be far more lovely people who will enjoy your channel and get really great inspiration from it than there will be nasty suspicious types! Hear, hear for delayed gratification! Good on you lovely. 😊❤
Aww, thanks Vivi! I have lots of lovely people leave amazing comments but it's always the less lovely ones that stick in my mind. Human nature I guess to want everyone to like us! I've followed you for many years and was totally inspired by you. I knew it was possible to be happy living on a small income because I've watched you do it! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your move goes well and happens soon. And that you get a wee place with a garden or court yard. Good luck! xxx
@@aliliveswellonless Thank you so much lovely. I think you're doing a splendid job on the Tube! It's great to let people see that it's possible to live on a tiny amount and still be happy and fulfilled. Bravo lovely. X
Im, new to your channel Ali and I'm really enjoying the content. I stopped working at 60 due to I'll health, like yourself I had constant problems with my health in the last few years of working. I made the decision to give up work and six months later after making several changes to my out going expenditure I handed in my notice. Six months was not enough time to prepare and that became obvious quite quickly. I am now in touching distance of my state pension and I can't wait. However life is so different. Thank you for your insite and advice. Almost 5000 subscribers already proves your site is of interest to a lot of people. Well done.
Yes ma'am, save for your future retired self! Just as you said, there is no magic involved. Live beneath your means! I enjoy your channel and aspire to get my budget as trim as yours!!!
I love your channel. I think hostile people can be envious. It was shocking to me to see how much money I save by not taking trips and staying away from fast food and restaurants. We've been taught to see these as rights, not luxuries. Mary in Maine.
I just want to say well done for saving so well and being able to do this. It’s amazing what you have achieved. It gives me hope for the future 😊
This is why I won't do a TH-cam channel, having to justify myself to all the numpties.... I understand you perfectly but then I am the same age x
I would say that no-one needs to justify themselves on their own TH-cam channel 😊
Mine’s too small to get many comments at all, but if I do ever get negative ones at some point, I will treat them lightly and leave it at that.
If Ali wants to respond with a video like this, that is her choice and absolutely fine, but no way should she have too justify anything 😊
People on the internet never cease to amaze me, I used to share my journey on here under a different account and I stopped because I was trolled so heavily, people assumed they knew me / my circumstances through a few videos, always telling me what I should or shouldn’t do, how I should give up my freedom of living alone to take in a lodger….. that will never happen unless I was in dire need. I love your channel, 1 because I’m looking to move to Stirling area next year, and 2 because you are real and don’t pretend to be someone you are not!!!!! Ps I’ll be looking for a rental next year if your family member happened to move out 😂 I mean it in the nicest way, the rental market is scary after owning for the last 8 years, but logistically buying a place in Scotland and selling in England is waaaay too complicated at the same time and way to risky
Go for it and enjoy, I am 57 retired at 55 and still have 2 kids under 18. I was never a boss and had an average wage, car is 10 years old, mortgage paid and no debt so called it a day and loving it with no 5am alarm. Enjoy your retirement 🙂
Hi there, I like your channel, Love your dog.
Not sure why your channel showed up in my feed, but happy it did. You appear very straight forward and to have a good head on your shoulders. I am fascinated with life in the UK and your accent is the sweetest sound. I live in California and am excited to learn of life different from my own. I plan to retire in 1.5 years and hope to be able to implement some of your tips. Sorry you had to be bothered by people who have nothing better to do than nit pick. What is so difficult about changing channels if they don’t agree. Best of luck as you navigate your retirement and you tube.
Its living within our means that is the struggle in our society. Its an individual pursuit and all who achieve it should be congratulated, not judged as having it easier or tougher. We each run our own race, but platforms like this are encouraging and full of wisdom that can help us along the way. Thanks for the content.
Well said Ali, I think you're fantastic. You keep going doing things your way. 😊
Well said (again), Ali. Your vlog, your life, your words and if people don't like it, they know what they can do!
You do live well on what sounds like quite a little but the foundations are secure and that's down to your acumen and wisdom over a number of years - and I love your version of living well.
xx
I love your Chanel. I actually use it from time to time to teach my students about economy and how to prepare for a good life💸
I find the comments very illuminating with a lot of experienced people offering their perspective which is useful I find. I’ve learnt a lot from comment debates on other channels but I’m new here.
Ignore the nay-sayers. Keep up the good work. Often get similar on my comments. They are usually the self-righteous or the inadequate. I did go through a phase when I would demolish their arguments, now I just ignore them and give a thumbs down.
I live alone on well below the average wage with state and small private pension but am reasonably comfortable. I worked from age 17 to 70, retiring twice. I own my house, run a secondhand car and buy many thing used. Charity shops love me. Probably downsize the house at some point as I am fit now but aware that I am ageing, garden and household chores take a little longer than they used to.
Looked after youngest grandchildren since they were 6 months old. They stay with me from Friday evening to Sunday morning so the parents can work in retail, they are now 14 and 10 and each have their own bedrooms here.
You're so refreshing. Good for you doing you. People will always be bitter and complain that someone has made sacrifices they aren't willing to make. And being a landlord, well you're the devil himself in some people's eyes. Because all landlords spend their weekends on their private yatchs didn't you know 🤣
Keep being you 😊
I so agree with you - folk are envious at how 'well off' I am! But it has taken years of frugality ( which i still practice). Thank you for your videos!
Well done to you❤❤ some begrudger's out there
Ali well said. You're fiesty and straight talking, like it. I concur with alot of what you say!! Keep it up 😊
Hi Ali. I think you are an inspiration and brave to share your journey with us all. Please don't let the negative people get to you. Hope you feel inspired to continue adding content to your channel
I admire how you live well on a tight budget and Luna is lovely. We just adopted a Cairn Terrier puppy and are enjoying her so much. I always have told my sons "if you don't spend your money you won't have to earn so much."
I grew up with Cairn terriers! Have fun with your puppy :-)
I’m a new subscriber and have enjoyed your videos. Keep going!
I think you’re lovely and a total inspiration. If people aren’t interested, rather than leaving nasty comments (keyboard warrior trolls) they should MOVE on. Simples 😊 xx
Hello again Ali ☺. What about putting a little statement in your vlog to briefly explain your position so that you don't have to tell us about the naysayers ever time. You could just tell them at the beginning to read it for themsleves. What sad little lives these people have, they could just turn you off! And how could anyone begrudge you Luna's companionship 🐶. Don't know what I d do without my fur babies 🐺🐱 now that I'm on my own. Take care xx
That's a great idea!! Thanks :-)
Ali, well done...Luna is part of your rich life. Thank you for sharing! Beautiful doggie🐾
Much respect to you! Also, you don’t have to explain yourself to anybody, you’re going a great job and are an inspiration thank you- Louise and Emily ❤
I love your channel Ali. You’re an inspiration and I would have loved to have had you as my teacher.
Great video, I'm in a similar situation, I chose to semi retire, only working 12 hours a week, which only just cover my bills. However I'm time rich and have more time for me.
My first venture online was to join a Christian chatroom. My goodness they were vicious! Awful comments, cruelty and celebrating morally dubious behaviour! I developed a thick skin, and I learned to close that window if I needed to. Hope you are ok. Keep up your good work.
Dear Ali I thought this video was very honest and I enjoy your content very much. I am also retired and on a very restricted income but I always ensure that I have enough money for my four beautiful dogs they bring me so much pleasure and I happily do without other luxuries for them. Ignore the rude and intrusive comments you are being true to yourself and enjoying life 😊hugs to Luna 🐶🐾
Ali just love your honest down to earth content .Been there done it ..I’m with you all the way .❤
Hello Ali, I for one think you are an inspiration and I too am looking at doing something very similar to you (currently 39 working hard and squirreling away money for the greater good)
I really hope you are aware that you are talking to the minority in this video, there are soooo many more people who value you and your opinion ! Keep up the good work and congrats on the channel growing so quickly….theres a reason for this. 😊
Just found your channel and enjoyed your rant 😊
I also am lucky enough that 51 to be retired early. We did not buy a big house, worked hard for 30 years, saved hard- we live in a 1 bed cottage and own 2 rental flats one which is rented very cheaply to my son. My wife and I and 3 dogs live on €1200 per month and manage just fine.
People have lost focus in modern life, waste so much money on things they just don’t need - we are not rich with money but we are rich with time we have to ourselves to enjoy life, crafts and hobbies. I am going to enjoy catching up on your videos 😊
Brilliant comment! Totally agree modern life has encouraged people to lose focus on what makes a rich life :-)
I really enjoy your channel. I am at a very different stage of life to you, but it's so helpful to have people talk openly about money, life and reality. Of course everyone is in different situations. But you can learn from others even if you're not quite where they are in life. It's so, so helpful to talk about money, especially as women, who even now are still very often secondary earners and disadvantaged in terms of pensions and savings.
Hi Ali I can relate to you on that. I wasp a reduced pension owing to paying class 3 contributions ish to the government and NHS owing to lower wages back in the 1970s hence not on full
Pension with either. To get the full pension I was to contribute nearly 5k for the exa £10 or so a month. What you do with your money is your own business. You don’t have to justify anything to us as I respect this.Ignorant people just ignore as I would never ask you at personal patents
All the best and have a nice week and see you in the next one x
Hi Ali,
Love your honest chat and life tips😊
Subscribed. I'm 53, and will in a few months have a go at retirement; I'll be 54. I've had a job since 17, other than breaks to do degrees. I have no idea what I will do or if I will manage, but I'm interested in your story to see how it can be.
As one approaching retirement a couple of years early, I value your insights and observations. Each of us is different and on a different journey through life, so we are all going to do it differently, but we can learn from one another. Keep going!
Again from me smashing watch love ❤️ it
Some people are rude just for the sake of it and enjoy trying to get a reaction.
Yep and I'm not responding any more :-)
Sent by Frugal Queen in France and have subscribed! Looking forward to your videos! ❤
Thank you for your videos. The TH-cam algorithm decided that you were worth watching and, for once, I agree. I have just subscribed as I had a quick look at some of your other videos and you make a lot of sense. Have a lovely day.
Hi Ali I’m a new subscriber and I have been so impressed with your content! Keep doing you ❤️
Ok , I'm a new subscriber and slowly ploughing my way through your videos so have only just found out you have a second property and to be honest I'm very relieved for you that you do have a safety net and potential for an income from rental because yes I probably was someone who worried for you about unexpected expenses and thought you should be keeping any income from TH-cam so hearing this I'm really happy for you and if other people have a problem with it then as you say it's their problem not yours. I'll keep trying to catch up with more old videos and look forward to seeing your new ones .
I've come to realise the people who have a problem don't actually watch whole videos where I explain how it came about. If I'm lucky, in time I should have a few hundred pounds each month to put into savings/emergency fund. It's definitely not a quick way to make a fortune!! Thanks for watching all my videos :-)
❤ You are a very brave woman putting yourself out,good on you I watch a lot of cash stuffers there are interesting and informative .
you were smart in your financial decisions at a earlier age and now you can benefit from being smart and frugal....i applaud this.
To be honest life is to short you have done your work life your health comes first
Great video Ali. People think they know what you have even though they have no idea how much you have or what you own and spend. It makes my blood boil when people say it’s ok for you. I live frugally and have done for many years. I try to buy good quality cloths but am doing the majority of my shopping at the charity shops. I look after what I have and make it last. I agree you shouldn’t need to disclose all your private financal matters. How dare people think they have a right to decide what your situation is. If they don’t believe you why do they bother to watch your videos.
As for what you spend for your furry companion , Luna, they are family. It is your decision as to how much you spend. You give every dollar a job to do and how you choose to do this is no one’s business but your own. Keep on doing what you are doing and enjoy the naysayers! Best wishes from a new subscriber from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA.
