One of the best ways to save money is to not spend it! The next time you're debating on buying something, remember this: for a $20 meal you get in the US, you can get five meals or more in another country (depends on the currency rate). Another method I used? I limited how much I spent per day. For example: if you set a $600 US cap on your monthly spending (excluding the rent), your daily spending would be $20. If your daily spending is $30, then your monthly spending is $900. Depending on how you want to save, you can adjust accordingly. You don't necessarily have to save A TON of money to travel. Your money can go a long way in another country! Look up currency rates and average cost of living to find out where. There are so many details to share! Should I make a blog post? Let me know. Hope you guys find this video helpful. Many still ask how I make money. I mentioned in previous videos and live streams, but I understand many viewers don't have time to watch every video :) Most of my income comes from TH-cam. As you may know, it is not the most stable source of revenue (sometimes TH-cam will demonetize videos suddenly and their changing algorithms are out of our hands). To expand sources of revenue, I've also set up a merch shop and am part of the Amazon Affiliate Program. I also do food photography on the side, which I really enjoy and would love to do more of! Saving money is a lifestyle change. As you see in the comment section, some will call you a "tightarse" along this process. Are they paying for your travels and other financial goals? I didn't think so. If you want to make your dreams a reality, you'll have to make certain sacrifices and create new habits. It can be a challenge, but also very rewarding! Try to surround yourself with supportive people. They will help make your journey more enjoyable. Also, saving money doesn't always equate to being stingy. You can still be giving. Rather than buy another jacket for yourself when you already have one that's perfectly fine, you can use the money for your close friend's birthday gift. Saving money is doesn't mean depriving yourself. After all, who are you saving the money for? YOU :)
I need advice. I want to go to Korea so badly I'm saving up, spending less etc. But, I am currently under 18 years of age and if i was to go i'd have to go with my whole family and that would limit my freedom when I do eventually go and no one else inmy family wants to go to Korea. Any advice for me?
Thank you for the tips! they're so handy and tou shohld definitely make a blog post about it, so many people like me can really benefit from learning more, especially from an expert like you!
You mentioned "Making meals at home" quickly, but I'd like to emphasize that point. We can all save one heck of a lot of money by eating at home, and preparing meals at home that we bring with us. And in most cases, it's a lot healthier than eating highly processed, prepared foods. Then multiply; we're typically eating three times each day, plus snacks. Over time that adds up quickly.
Its hard to say NO, but I've taught myself how to do it. it was a process, since everything i see, i want. Maybe to the people who thinks that its hard to do it, it will be at first, its not easy. As i grew as a person, I've noticed that its not hard to say NO after all.
After a major room declutter, i started to understand retail therapy in the busy city was such a waste of my hard earned money since it was hard to resell my excessive junk. Less is indeed more. Now i travel lighter & have greater clarity in my life!
After years of being in debt (credit cards, car loans, IRS) I stumbled across Dave Ramsey’s method of getting out of debt (really wish I had found this 20 years earlier). His method works exactly as designed and in 4 years I am now completely out of debt and it is very true that staying out of debt is the key to saving money. Many of the things you have in this video exactly mirror Dave’s advice; be frugal (especially with entertainment), budget (and stick to it and as he says “make every dollar count”), make extra money with a “side hustle” (delivering pizzas, turn a hobby into a business, etc.), avoid impulse buying, in other words “live like no one else so later you can live like no one else”. I am now retired and have sufficient in social security and some investments and can handle all expenses easily with a little left over, my wife (who is Chinese) is also very attuned to saving plus she works in a massage spa and all her money goes into savings. After 15 years of traveling internationally for work (mostly in Asia) we are looking forward to getting back out there.
You nailed it!!👏🏼 I do believe though everyone should not live with their parents ( long-term) to save money because I’ve seen people assume they have financial back-up. You’re such a good daughter when you mentioned that you don’t like coming home too late because you don’t want your parents to worry.
I think your hardwork and savings are also rewarding to your fans...i love your videos...they're literally soothing to the mind...after 1 or 2 i sleep so peacefully...it may be because your voice and tone are too soothing...your travel videos are very enjoyable and relaxing...thank you ❤
Omg, Tip#2 relates to me soooo much. I get a terrible case of FOMO whenever I say "No" but you're so right about the money you'll save. Thanks for the tips, they're definitely gonna help out!!
I can relate to FOMO. Though after you've been to a couple drinking parties, they start feeling like similar experiences. Some people really enjoy these parties and good for them! I do enjoy them on occasion. Just not on a regular basis. Sometimes I'd rather curl up with a good book or catch up on TH-cam videos :)
One of the good things with living in a small town is rent only being 570 for a two bedroom with heat and water included :) and yes, it is a nice apartment, not a crappy one.
New subscriber and nice video, and yes, I also just thought you were loaded and just living the dream. You are really down to earth and deserve whatever success comes your way. Take care and all the best
abductedbyaliens8892 It says a lot about you that you brag about traveling all the time. Maybe if you took a second to think about people who can’t afford to do that or have bad spending habits, you would know why they ask about money. A variety of tips are given in this video to help viewers figure out what they can do to also travel often. Understanding and having empathy are two great traits to have! My tip to you.
Good tips! I went through my bank statements a few weeks ago and realized my boyfriend and I spend ATLEAST $600 on eating out in 1 month and another $300 on unnecessary purchases. That’s $900 a month we could’ve been saving to travel! It was a real eye opener for us.
fab vid and great advice. I do these things in order to be able to live in two different countries. One of them requires at least 6 months of residence in it (out of any 12 months) in order to be granted the right to live there legally and the other one is where my parents are. So... when I'm home it's free rent and opportunity to save money, sure, but also lovely to be able to spend time with my folks as they are getting old. Glad I can also help them out with different things when I am home, like admin stuff, some fixing around the flat, decluttering, and relieving my Mum from cooking for a while :) I am a freelancer, so that works with my job too
What kind of friends do you have that all they want to do is party? My friends and I meet at each other’s houses or just go to a cafe, grab a coffee and talk for hours and hours. We rarely spend money on getting wasted when what we actually want to do is catch up.
Well late in the game, but got to say I love your honesty, tips I can recommend is putting the money in a high saving account which give you like 1.70% interested now which is not much, but it will help your money grow a little bit. Also Uber or lift can help you make some extra money, just make sure to keep all your expenses listed for your taxes the next year.
Don’t ever go to school to become a designer. It’s cost a fortunate to be a designer. All my paychecks went to buying fabrics and sewing notions. I wish I can save a lot of money to travel!! For now school is taking over my money.
You are so right. Living with parents is restricting in certain respects . But the financial gain is worth it. I dropped out of college a few years ago but now ive returned part time, I've passed my exams and I'm progressing to second year. Being able to live at home without to much expense has been a lifeline. Paying to put a car on the road and paying for rent as well I couldn't afford it on my current wage . I certainly wouldn't have traveled as much as I did or as much as I plan to.
I drove cabs , 12 hours a day , 7 days a week . You only have time to sleep and no time to spend . The money piles up fast . Then onto a plane and away . Then you can work overseas as well to extend your travel into years .
You had me up until the "move in with your parents" part. I would say that's definitely not really an option for a good chunk of people (especially those of us pushing, or past 30). It's often more accepted in a lot of Asian cultures, but I know at this point in my life, if I tried that, my parents would definitely not want that (unless I was in some sort of crisis). Not knocking you, or anyone else who does live at home though! That being said, the rest of your points are spot on! I also travel a lot as well. Moved from Canada, to Germany because I wanted to experience Europe. Got a Visa, a job with vacation and traveled to 25 countries in Europe within 2 years. Recently, my girlfriend and I packed up and moved to Vietnam to do the same in Asia. KEY POINTS, as you said...minimal spending on frivolous things, work hard and save harder! 😉💪👍
Another great way to save money that doesn't take much thought and effort is saving all of your change. I have a teacup on my dresser that I empty my pockets into when I come home from work. Once the teacup is full, I separate everything into individual jars. When those are full, I roll all of it and take it to the bank. Side note: don't let the rolls pile up and finally take $350 worth of quarters into the bank. I did that once and everyone stopped what they were doing to stare at me.
I'm watching this because I need to save $3,000 by May. I'm going to EDC in Las Vegas (I'm from Los Angeles,CA) and have never been to a huge event like that. I know the saving journey is going to suck but at the end it will be so worth it. Thanks for the tips!
You must have a flexible job because when you leave and come back, will you still have a job? but then you would need some time to find a job again afterwards. But it seems worth it.
Miss Mina oh that's cool but by the way I've been wondering if your are travelling for the first time how are things suppose to be? Like when you go to bali that ma help you visit places and all that. If I ever want to travel to korea should I do the same thing ?
Loving your blogs! I watched your South Korea vlogs before visiting South Korea! Now, I’m binge watching all your Japan vlogs ~ planning a trip to Japan next year! 2020!
Thank you for the help! Me and my other 6 friends are going to Canada, Paris, South Korea, Japan, Nepal, and India! And we can’t wait to go when we finish high school and collage! Thanks for the tip Mina!! Saranghae~~
I love this! Thank you. I will do this. I'll be planning on going to the Philippines. I also watched your video of what you pack when you're traveling. And writing some stuff down
Mina! I love you! You are so inspiring! I'm setting off on my adventure to Thailand come Tuesday. Maybe we'll cross paths in the world, ill say hi! lol
What really amazed me, is not how you save money for travelling but rather, how do get visas so easily to all those countries around the world? Money is easy, visa is SoO hard to get !
The #1 way to save money living here in the bay area is to live at home. You'll save yourself close to $2K a month on rent depending on where you are located.
What I’ve been doing is pulling $100 from my paychecks and putting it aside as money that I’ll never touch. So when I do travel whatever money I’ve pulled go toward traveling expenses and such. And all the money I get back from my tax return will also go toward that. Another thing I’ve been doing is if I have a bad day or a bad experience at work, I’ll put a dollar into a jar and I do this for the year.
"I don't have a sugar daddy, I've never had a sugar daddy, if I wanted a sugar daddy, yes I could probably go out and get one, because I am what?? SICKENING. You could never have a sugar daddy because YOU ARE NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL. Baby everything I have I have worked for and gotten myself, i've built my self from the ground up. YOU FUCKING BITCH" *throws drink* (anyone get this reference wins the internet) XD
Hanne Clausen Let's see when is time to retire and she has burn her bridge's because you would have to quit you job every time you travel like that I for example would definitely get fired if I tell them that going on vacation every 3 to 6 months.
Thanks so much for this. I realize I don't buy stuff like clothes, etc. But I end up spending so much on experiences and eating out at those experiences. Very helpful video.
I must say that when being alone, you are more in control of your lifestyle in many ways. There is less influence from others... for better or for worse :)
Thank you for this. I cancelled all my subscriptions just now because i want to travel! Starting now I am saving. Where is the cheapest place to start out traveling? Where are the best places for travel? How would you rank them? The most exciting places?
Rena Hi, I’m probably too old to reply but where’s the most exciting place for you? I’m from Indonesia and went to college in US that open my eyes to learn that most Americans my age (18 at the time) had never step foot outside of their own state let alone the country. You should start by figuring out what you like and what you’re looking for in traveling. Mina has figured out that she wants to do TH-cam and share all her travel with us. It means that she’s more passionate about seeing the sights, eating the food and experiencing the different cultures. Not everybody kind of thing. If you live in northern part of US, even a trip across the border to Canada can be exciting.
Miss Mina I am skipping Bangkok, but I just arrived to Chiang Mai from Phuket. I am loving this place more than Phuket. Food here is amazing and the locals are so friendly. Thailand is definitely a cultural shock for me since I live in the states, specifically California. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the 17 hour flight from SF International to Thailand. Thanks
This really is the story of my life I wish to go to medical school in 2k19 n my entrance prep r good enough but I also need money for a the fees medical colleges demand n that's something I wanna work on and earn by teaching juniors the subjects I'm good at.
What if I'm buying stuff to support TH-camrs like you? The struggle haha. I don't party but I can't not attend a friend's birthday party. It only happens once a year. And then there are Christmas presents. I'm working part time and taking 6 college classes. What more can I do? I want to go to Korea, but as a college student, I'm barely holding up. I wish money would just rain down on us haha
Raining money sounds fantastic haha. How kind of you to support us TH-camrs! But we also want you to be a happy viewer :) Working while attending college is a challenge. I've had a taste of that myself. On one hand, you want to focus on studies, but also want to be financially free to do things you want! I know it can be frustrating. While everyone's path in life varies (ie: college major, career choice, etc), your income will rise with age and experience, generally speaking. Although the current situation may seem long and never-ending, it will end as nothing lasts forever! Another phase/chapter in life begins. Learn what you can now and you just might find today's life lessons to help you in the future years to come :)
When it comes to gifts, thrifting is an awesome way to save money and save things from going to landfill! You can also find great deals for events, treatments, and restaurants on sites like Groupon if you want to save money on going out :)
I want to spend 4 or 5 months in Asia next summer traveling and attending a language school .I'm saving money now. OH!!!!! A tip to save money open a bank account and have money direct deposited from your paycheck to this bank account, but DO NOT get a bank card to this account to get the money you have to physically go to the bank to withdraw money. This is how I paid for my first real vacation to Hawaii when I was 22.
Thank you for this video! Very Helpful! I was wondering in your vids it seems that you travel alone sometimes, how do you get confident enough to go to foreign places by yourself?
Wow!!! #2 is spot on for my life and what happened for me this year. I said no to going to london in a month because I knew I didn't have the money at the time and I got shit for it.
Now I realized that im on the right track haha im doing everything you just said :) I’ll add one though.. cook instead of eating outside :) when i wake up, i prepare my bfast.. when I arrived home I prepare dinner :) I dont know if that works for others but for me. Oh yeah!
i wish i can do samethings like you do but its little difficult for me hahah my english is not much good but maybe in future ahhmm maybe after 2 year i will try to travel different asian countries to taste their street foods
One of the best ways to save money is to not spend it! The next time you're debating on buying something, remember this: for a $20 meal you get in the US, you can get five meals or more in another country (depends on the currency rate). Another method I used? I limited how much I spent per day. For example: if you set a $600 US cap on your monthly spending (excluding the rent), your daily spending would be $20. If your daily spending is $30, then your monthly spending is $900. Depending on how you want to save, you can adjust accordingly. You don't necessarily have to save A TON of money to travel.

Hope you guys find this video helpful. Many still ask how I make money. I mentioned in previous videos and live streams, but I understand many viewers don't have time to watch every video :) Most of my income comes from TH-cam. As you may know, it is not the most stable source of revenue (sometimes TH-cam will demonetize videos suddenly and their changing algorithms are out of our hands).

Saving money is a lifestyle change. As you see in the comment section, some will call you a "tightarse" along this process. Are they paying for your travels and other financial goals? I didn't think so. If you want to make your dreams a reality, you'll have to make certain sacrifices and create new habits. It can be a challenge, but also very rewarding! Try to surround yourself with supportive people. They will help make your journey more enjoyable.
Also, saving money doesn't always equate to being stingy. You can still be giving. Rather than buy another jacket for yourself when you already have one that's perfectly fine, you can use the money for your close friend's birthday gift. Saving money is doesn't mean depriving yourself. After all, who are you saving the money for? YOU :)

Miss Mina I know your fuckin lying. We all know you get paid by TH-cam and probably other things as well. Lol 😂
Sounds like you didn't thoroughly read the pinned comment. Also, please watch your language. You never know how young our fellow viewers are.
It's awesome that you did food Photography as a side job. By the way, you're the reason I started learning Korean almost 5 months ago. Thank you

Xol1004 sooo truuuu
It's weird, but I save money by never spending change or $5 bills that come into my possession. I put them in a bank. It's funny how it adds up.
tame112blood how has it been going ?
Its hard to say NO, but I've taught myself how to do it. it was a process, since everything i see, i want. Maybe to the people who thinks that its hard to do it, it will be at first, its not easy. As i grew as a person, I've noticed that its not hard to say NO after all.

In my country is soo expensive
Because not everyone in the world makes 500 a week. You ever think about that lmao
I literally get paid $3.50 an hour and with taxes it’s a lot less. So totally not the same for everyone 😒
Good tips! I went through my bank statements a few weeks ago and realized my boyfriend and I spend ATLEAST $600 on eating out in 1 month and another $300 on unnecessary purchases. That’s $900 a month we could’ve been saving to travel! It was a real eye opener for us.

Really great video. Some of the advice in this video can be applied to other things in life as well. Love it.

Koala Mochi what is her job thoo

Yes, it is mostly TH-cam.

Living at home with your mom and/or dad is a good way to save money. I'm sure Miss Mina would agree!
Loving your blogs!
I watched your South Korea vlogs before visiting South Korea!
Now, I’m binge watching all your Japan vlogs ~ planning a trip to Japan next year! 2020!
Holy crap, this was chock-full of awesome advice! Thanks, Mina!
Miss mina!!! I love how you explained this.
So helpful and informative! Thanks Mina :D
Live life to the fullest! Keep doing what you are doing!
Thanks for the awesome advice! I need to add this to my favorites because it's definitely something I need to watch periodically to keep me on track!
Thank you for the help! Me and my other 6 friends are going to Canada, Paris, South Korea, Japan, Nepal, and India! And we can’t wait to go when we finish high school and collage! Thanks for the tip Mina!! Saranghae~~

Great tips Mina! I'm going to put them to use.
Thanks Mina for the valuable tips on saving. I'm planning to travel more next year onwards and starting tomorrow i will start to save. 💖
What really amazed me, is not how you save money for travelling but rather, how do get visas so easily to all those countries around the world?
Money is easy, visa is SoO hard to get !

AYYY!! BAY SQUAD!! 😍🙌 So glad I found your channel.
The #1 way to save money living here in the bay area is to live at home. You'll save yourself close to $2K a month on rent depending on where you are located.
What I’ve been doing is pulling $100 from my paychecks and putting it aside as money that I’ll never touch. So when I do travel whatever money I’ve pulled go toward traveling expenses and such. And all the money I get back from my tax return will also go toward that.
Another thing I’ve been doing is if I have a bad day or a bad experience at work, I’ll put a dollar into a jar and I do this for the year.
"I don't have a sugar daddy, I've never had a sugar daddy, if I wanted a sugar daddy, yes I could probably go out and get one, because I am what?? SICKENING. You could never have a sugar daddy because YOU ARE NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL. Baby everything I have I have worked for and gotten myself, i've built my self from the ground up. YOU FUCKING BITCH"
*throws drink* (anyone get this reference wins the internet) XD
OMG YESSSS i knew i couldn't be the only one thinking of this!! :D
YASSS GAWD!!!
LOL. What a great quote to wake up to on a Friday morning!
Mina you watch rupaul drag race? :D if you don't, you MUST!
Hanne Clausen Let's see when is time to retire and she has burn her bridge's because you would have to quit you job every time you travel like that I for example would definitely get fired if I tell them that going on vacation every 3 to 6 months.
Hi Mina, this video is very useful especially I spend a lot. I will take note of all the things you said. KUDOS for you :)
I would love to see a video from you on how much to budget per day for the different countries you are visiting!
Mina you need more subscribers
This is great advice whether you travel or not. Like, for instance, paying off your college (or other) debt. Thanks Miss Mina.
Thanks so much for this. I realize I don't buy stuff like clothes, etc. But I end up spending so much on experiences and eating out at those experiences. Very helpful video.
You're an inspiration Mina!
thanks for sharing. you inspired me to keep saving money and accomplish my goals! 😊 keep sharing your experience
Very wise advise Mina!!
*advice
Definitely need. You are a gem Mina
Hey I’m from Sunnyvale, about an hour drive to SF... ! Partying and eating out is a spend indeed.
Awesome! Love your vids Mina :)
Amen!! I need to listen to this everyday!
Very helpful Miss Mina! 👍🏽👍🏽
Omg you need more subs I love this channel I’m Korean too! So you inspired me to travel to Korea as well!

Omg I loved that faced u made!
Lol!!! I can’t stop laughing!
Mina wish me good luck I'll start the law budget lifestyle and meal prepping. i hope I'll do well. I'll keep you updated! 💪💪💪
THANK YOU! and I'll never forget miss Mina 💕 YOUR STILL A BADASS WHEN YOU GOT YOUR PHONE BACK FROM THAT LADY
Good advice for all. You are a great role model.
I always ask if it’s a “need or a want” before I buy stuff🙋🏿. I live in Oakland which is super expensive like living in The City😳😳😳😳😳
U know this is an eye opener. Thanks for sharing
Nice answers😍😍😘
Lol I’m spending more since I moved back home. Living alone was better. I’m paying off some expenses before I want to travel.
I must say that when being alone, you are more in control of your lifestyle in many ways. There is less influence from others... for better or for worse :)
Miss Mina Egggsactly. Living alone I worried about myself. Home I’m paying the utilities and buying food for 4.
You are so inspirational! Thank you! ❤️
This is great. Thank you for the tips!
I loved what you said I wished everybody listened to your advices.👍
Thank you for this. I cancelled all my subscriptions just now because i want to travel! Starting now I am saving. Where is the cheapest place to start out traveling? Where are the best places for travel? How would you rank them? The most exciting places?
Rena Hi, I’m probably too old to reply but where’s the most exciting place for you? I’m from Indonesia and went to college in US that open my eyes to learn that most Americans my age (18 at the time) had never step foot outside of their own state let alone the country. You should start by figuring out what you like and what you’re looking for in traveling. Mina has figured out that she wants to do TH-cam and share all her travel with us. It means that she’s more passionate about seeing the sights, eating the food and experiencing the different cultures. Not everybody kind of thing. If you live in northern part of US, even a trip across the border to Canada can be exciting.
I am on vacation right now in Phuket, Thailand and it is pricey for a tourist location. It is almost to what I pay in the states.
There are places in Bangkok where your dollar will really stretchhhhhhhhhhh! Enjoy beautiful Phuket nonetheless :)
Miss Mina I am skipping Bangkok, but I just arrived to Chiang Mai from Phuket. I am loving this place more than Phuket. Food here is amazing and the locals are so friendly. Thailand is definitely a cultural shock for me since I live in the states, specifically California. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the 17 hour flight from SF International to Thailand.
Thanks
Good solid advice! 👌
This really is the story of my life I wish to go to medical school in 2k19 n my entrance prep r good enough but I also need money for a the fees medical colleges demand n that's something I wanna work on and earn by teaching juniors the subjects I'm good at.
omg...thanks for inspiring me.
I want to see your nail polish collection!
You are wise beyond your years..
What if I'm buying stuff to support TH-camrs like you? The struggle haha. I don't party but I can't not attend a friend's birthday party. It only happens once a year. And then there are Christmas presents. I'm working part time and taking 6 college classes. What more can I do? I want to go to Korea, but as a college student, I'm barely holding up. I wish money would just rain down on us haha
Raining money sounds fantastic haha. How kind of you to support us TH-camrs! But we also want you to be a happy viewer :) Working while attending college is a challenge. I've had a taste of that myself. On one hand, you want to focus on studies, but also want to be financially free to do things you want! I know it can be frustrating. While everyone's path in life varies (ie: college major, career choice, etc), your income will rise with age and experience, generally speaking. Although the current situation may seem long and never-ending, it will end as nothing lasts forever! Another phase/chapter in life begins. Learn what you can now and you just might find today's life lessons to help you in the future years to come :)

See if you can study abroad! You’ll take classes + travel and experience a new culture.
When it comes to gifts, thrifting is an awesome way to save money and save things from going to landfill! You can also find great deals for events, treatments, and restaurants on sites like Groupon if you want to save money on going out :)
You needa be patient you’re in college, gotta do the boring stuff before you do the fun stuff lol.
Great video.... sending love from Santa Cruz 831!!!!.....
U should do a meet up / eating video in the 831/408!!!! Xoxox
Girl! I live in the Bay Area too. And rent is no joke. Everything is expensive.
I want to spend 4 or 5 months in Asia next summer traveling and attending a language school .I'm saving money now. OH!!!!! A tip to save money open a bank account and have money direct deposited from your paycheck to this bank account, but DO NOT get a bank card to this account to get the money you have to physically go to the bank to withdraw money. This is how I paid for my first real vacation to Hawaii when I was 22.
Very good advice. Thanks.
thanks for the tips !they are great
Can you please upload more travel advice videos?
Thank you for this video! Very Helpful!
I was wondering in your vids it seems that you travel alone sometimes, how do you get confident enough to go to foreign places by yourself?
Sugar daddy!!!!!! Seriously!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that's so funny 😂😂😂
i love the part when you say NOO! at the start :D
Mina i miss your dialogue mukbang are you going to make anymore? Luv you and really enjoy your videos 😊
Video on that coming up! :D
Wow!!! #2 is spot on for my life and what happened for me this year. I said no to going to london in a month because I knew I didn't have the money at the time and I got shit for it.
What's your job? What do you do at work?
Now I realized that im on the right track haha im doing everything you just said :) I’ll add one though.. cook instead of eating outside :) when i wake up, i prepare my bfast.. when I arrived home I prepare dinner :)
I dont know if that works for others but for me. Oh yeah!
i wish i can do samethings like you do but its little difficult for me hahah my english is not much good but maybe in future ahhmm maybe after 2 year i will try to travel different asian countries to taste their street foods
