CHALLENGE. honestly, i still have jeans from high school. (if they become too tight I go back to the gym; if they get too loose I go less HAM at the gym). *wool balls instead of dryer sheets *i also stopped buying gifts for people during holidays-- instead i take them out for an event (i.e. dinner, concert...) or we spend time together (i.e. cooking Christmas dinner together, a hike with my mom for Mother's Day...)
I stop buy 2 years ago unnecessary things that I can't even store.had sale them ran out money. Water I bought and stored.,food 25 yr.exp.generators.liquior.phones.sim cards.propane .back packs.survival needs.but thing r getting crazy.but will see.take care.thanx for all shows.
I love gadgets, but I've never been one who has to have the latest and greatest. I've used my cell phones until they either died or got lost. I have driven every car I've owned into the ground before acquiring another. All have been purchased used except my current one. I've never really cared about TVs. I paid A LOT of money for them 10 years ago, and I STILL have the same ones to this day. I don't even watch TV anymore for the past year. BUT . . . my weakness is kitchen gadgets/appliances!!! I just don't swap them out for newer ones all the time. I do buy laptops quite regularly, but I use them all for work. I literally have five laptops in use at a time. One of the best things I did was quit my Starbucks habit. I don't even miss it. The only time I buy Starbucks now is from gifts cards for birthdays, etc. I don't know how old you are, but you look young. You are not unattractive! Your great attitude and intelligence makes you even more appealing. Love your videos. Blessings to you.
All good points, I’m gonna attempt to take this challenge. I will say I’ve owned the same car for 8 years, all while my income has tripled. I actually take pride in driving a base model Mazda lol
One good rule is if you do buy something buy good quality, whatever it is. It might be more than you want to pay but it will last you maybe 5x longer and you will save money in the long term. Wealthy people buy good quality not necessarily to show off but they realize it would be money well spent and last longer.
@@martinrbookermb a good point that Tommy has covered, can’t remember if it was in this video or another one but yes for sure. It’s important to know quality is not really luxury but instead something that last, my base model Mazda has been a shinning example of that. It’s actually a cheap car but the quality of it is unmatched to a comparable American vehicle.
I have the 10XR too! I’ve had it for almost four years and it just started acting up- but I refuse to spend a thousand dollars on a new one. I’ll look into the battery. And congratulations on your weight loss! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I have had my car since 2004 - it owes me nothing. I can’t imagine buying a new car especially when they are probably going to roll out compulsory evs so I’m happy as is. I pray that it keeps going 💪
(4:25) This can also be applied to laptops/desktops. My laptop is 5+ years old and it takes 2 minutes to load to proceed to the password menu. It was also taking too long to load the apps. I was at the point where I need to buy a brand new computer. So, before considering buying one, I did research about how can my computer operate faster. The results where this: I replaced my battery, changed the backup C battery, installed more RAM, and installed a brand new SSD (with free cloning software and a SATA transfer cable to replace the old HDD) last year. My computer startup time to go to the password screen after turning on is now 14 seconds. All of this cost about a 1/3 of what a brand new laptop cost.
I lost $26000. I tried to withdraw some of my money, but it was useless. After filing complaints with no response,l reached out to a recovery firm that has helped some victims in similar situations to get their money back. How do I gain back my money?
Challenge! Done it for years we only buy things that need replace. Weve been able to pay our house off at age 26 its a small house but iys paid off Now at age 36 we have 3 rentals paid off now we started investing in index funds just started 3months ago so if we did it anyone can do it! It will pay off at the end
To be honest I used to buy generic foods but sometimes certain generic foods don’t taste good (but there are some that do) ….. I was wasting money buying generic and end up not eating it because it tasted bad….so now I buy the name brand foods I know I will eat and buy the generics of what I know taste good….
Ok Tommy...here goes...Not being cheap but i stopped washing my hair roughly three years ago? no more shampoo..And i cut my own hair...Not always great but ok....After the last 65 dollar haircut, i said no more....lol..Savings shot straight up....
That bottled water one. I rarely buy bottled water. Just use a water distiller and use my water bottle. Saves lots of cash. Kudos
"CHALLENGE" - I also recommend having AT LEAST 90 days of food and water in your home at all times. Tough times are ahead...
That’s smart
Especially canned goods
@@AyeJye 100% and beans & rice and anything you already eat on a daily basis.
Let's not forgot about ammo and toilet paper

Thanks and yeah battery replacement does magic
I watch here when I’ve watched all Dave Ramsey for the day but I’m starting liking this channel more. Kinda more relatable.
I have had my car since 2004 - it owes me nothing. I can’t imagine buying a new car especially when they are probably going to roll out compulsory evs so I’m happy as is. I pray that it keeps going 💪
thank you for these videos Tommy. I'm starting to do some things to change my life, and you're a big part of that, Thank you brother.
Always brother keep going

Did the same. Still using a laptop that’s nearly 15 years old but it’s a totally different machine with the new RAM and SSHD.
Damn, Black Friday came and gone! U a lil late playa, but the info remains the same. Thanks 4 the video
Lol 😂

THIS COMMENT SECTION IS A SCAM !!!
Used items have the previous owner energy, either negative or positive.
SHILL
Sure I accept
I would love to see some of the things you do spend on as someone cutting wasteful spending.
Good job on the weight loss! Interesting video too!
Challenge!
Done it for years we only buy things that need replace. Weve been able to pay our house off at age 26 its a small house but iys paid off Now at age 36 we have 3 rentals paid off now we started investing in index funds just started 3months ago so if we did it anyone can do it!

Challenge! Which water filter do you have? Ive been looking to stop the water bottle purchases myself.
Brita ones are solid
@@TommyBryson appreciate it, thank you!
I have brita for 3years and its still good. I usually buy filters for 12pack and it lasts for long time😀
The water filter is so clutch, people spend mad money on a thing that's free.
Exactly
100% true again.
To be honest I used to buy generic foods but sometimes certain generic foods don’t taste good (but there are some that do) ….. I was wasting money buying generic and end up not eating it because it tasted bad….so now I buy the name brand foods I know I will eat and buy the generics of what I know taste good….
Some generic brands taste better than name brand
What’s important is to find a balance and try products out, and not just go for the brand one without checking the generic
@@hurtspublishing3906 SOME do….. not all…. Certain ones I tried taste awful and certain things I’ve tried taste good so I both name brand and generic
@@TommyBryson do you think there should be money set aside for “trying foods out” that way you won’t feel like you wasted your grocery budget?
Challenge!! Gracias hermano for inspiration.
Ok Tommy...here goes...Not being cheap but i stopped washing my hair roughly three years ago? no more shampoo..And i cut my own hair...Not always great but ok....After the last 65 dollar haircut, i said no more....lol..Savings shot straight up....
The hair cuts I did also, the shampoo 🧴 ( what alternative did you fine )
Great Advice!
Get extra napkins from fast food. Extra sauces if free.
Challenge!! I found myself saying thats me to a lot of the items you mentioned.
I think I could do this until the week or two before Black Friday. "Challenge".
Dimelo Tommy 🇵🇷
Ayeee
Here are a couple of things I do to save money.
1. Cut my own hair. Saves a few hundred $ a year.
2. Limit myself to buy takeout food once a week.
I use to cut my hair, for awhile and limited eating out all together lol. However this is solid
Smart man. I hope you were surgical with the clippers and not walking around with a bowl cut.
I cut my own hair . Easy to do if you are allready bald.
…. I’ll try to not buy anything except necessities until December. 2023…! Challenge keep ❤😊

Stay at home on black Friday and get 100% off! You didn't get 50% off something you didn't really need? You spent 100% more than you needed to.
Well said
soap is overrated... you can brush with baking soda n peroxide...live on water, rice/beans. no haircuts, ride a bicycle..
Could of sworn I allready watched this video a couple weeks back 🤔🤔
Sometimes it feels like that
I'll try but no promises...ure funny on this content

Congrats on the weight lost!
