You were suppose to waste 10 minutes of my life, dragging the answer out.
Underrated comment to an underrated video.
"How to Stop Eating Half Your Money"
Step 1: Stop Eating Half Your Money
[Looks up, mouth stuffed with dollar bills] What?
Repeats step 1
Looks down
"Shit"
Step 2: Eat ALL of your money you coward
Step 1: Don't
I only eat two-FIFTHS of MY money! Hah
"START REJECTING CONVENIENCE" i don't know how you came up with this, but i salute you. We don't need a subcription for hot sauce, half the sandwiches we buy for 12 bucks can easily be made at home, bar food is frozen food warmed up for you. It's just ridiculous.
Don’t forget that cup of coffee that costs like 10 bucks in that underrated special coffee shop
yesh
Don't forget spending $7 on a beer you can get for $1 at the liquor store
Don’t forget when literal chain Supermarkets run out of supplies for basic living and survival... Idk why efficiency isn’t taught in schools.
@@micahcook2408 what do you mean? Where is the break down in efficiency for your answer?
I work at a deli and every day we have someone come in and order a sandwich that's just turkey and white bread-nothing else-and they're fully willing to pay $8.99 for it. I bet you could buy half a pound of lunch meat, a loaf bread, and probably even a bag of chips for $10 and have sandwiches for a week. Rejecting convenience is half the reason I started cooking and realizing it could save me money is just more motivation to keep learning.
I save money just to spend it on travels. I love traveling. Love seeing how others live.
Better than 90% of the 10 minutes so-called inspirational videos on TH-cam, I didn't know I needed this. Thx
Also better than 99% of economic advising videos on TH-cam. He was able to say exactly what they say, but more understandable and in less than fraction of the time they'd take.
@@AmateurContendr the financial sector likes give bad advice and laugh all the way to the bank, considering they don't even have to leave their chair to do that its a win/win.
Two things I would like to correct in this video is his notion that hard work is a key to success, total nonsense. boomers created a system to live off of other people's hard work. An ira started now is going to generate more money for the finance sector than it will for you. boomers and the silent generation made bank in the 90s, but their iras aren't the same iras you can pick up now when you go to get one, for a start hedge funding came out of the Bush depression, they purposefully bundle "too big to fail" stocks with whatever is trendy to keep Exxon/Mobil, BofA, and hundreds of other corporate wrecks afloat. If you want Netflix or Chipotle, both strong performers, you are going to have to take some Wall Fargo and Chevron. Bundling works for these deadbeats because it creates the illusion of interest, people are always buying because they have to, but it also comes at the expense of hampering new upstarts. when capitalism isn't capitalism anymore its American capitalism. Like Dr. MLK Jr said welfare for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor.
The kitchen is a great place to start taking your life back if you are an American you don't have the luxury of social programs the rest of the world has, so eating out or stopping by a bar on the way home are luxuries, same as getting your own apt, boomers don't like affordable housing, it mucks up their neighborhood with commoners. Eating out is a social tradition younger generations have been shut out of, get used to it. You will have more cash on hand by not going to Chipotle than investing in Chipotle.
Interesting how you've done nothing with it
Correction: 100%
It just takes $27 dollars of needless spending a day to miss out on $10,000 a year
Its actually 27.3972 , 27 would be short a few doordash orders
$27 a day is batshit crazy spending.
Who TF is making this kind of money
@@EamonBurke Come to my country, mcdonalds is $15 for one meal, want to uber eats a subway? thats $30
I know people that spend over 200 bucks on just fast food in 2 weeks or less. Most people in my area are like this, so everyone is broke as hell. Additionally, people here are extremely materialist so everyone's essentially under serfdom trying to pay off their Iphone 10s and new cars. I don't get how people can live with such stress. It just wouldn't be worth it.
I live in one of the most expensive countries in the world and live on a few Euros a day. Student life is rough.
A week ago I ate a salmon sandwich for 6.5€. Then I realized: wait I coul've easily bought a pack of salmon, some baguetes and make 4 sandwiches at home
and hopefully it was a good sandwich at least :)
@@FrightNFight thanks karl marx
Yes but you would have also spend time, energy, have stuff to clean etc.
I'm not saying that making it homemade wasn't a good idea. I'm saying it's not a zero sum game
@@DimT670 So many people seem to forget this. A lot of the time when you order out instead of cooking at home, you're doing so for the convinience. After you spend all day at work, or getting errands done, sometimes you're just too sick and tired to cook, so you spend a little extra to have someone do the work for you.
@@Silburific and it's not just the cooking. You have to buy the things, get them to your home, have the right tools, clean up. And not to mention that cookware and kitchens take space and you might not have that. And then you have to factor is that you have to learn how to do all these things.
It's not that cooking at home is a bad idea or impossible. But acting like everyone can do it easily and mocking people for not doing it is not ok

My coworkers spend almost $15-20 a day eating lunch. Imagine that money in an investment account.
What the fuck that's the amount I spend weekly on groceries... (My student lunch costs 2.60€ daily on top of that). However, life is more than just making money. If their every day life is improved by spending that much on lunch good for them. But if they could be just as happy cooking their own food which is likely then yeah...

wowww... he would be earning like a whole 20 cents extra each day.
@@tonysopranooo1 We only made like 13.5 an hour at the time. So that is pretty significant.
@@RCmies depends on where you live too, like in my country buy the cheapest food in the cheapest part would be at least $15 if you don't included a drink and that's only on lunch

i was expecting a sponsor plug or whatever but theres nothing. its nice but also weird at the same time like wtf, this guy actually cares about me?
ok pero who is gonna clean my deeshus

Or just spend 150$ on a was dish washer and skip the arduous 5 minute washing up time by dumping everything in a machine if you realy dont want to wash things.
@@r4tl_ I suppose it depends on how you wash your dishes but I can see it saving water
@@lewisw3436 People without a dishwasher usually don't have a dishwasher-sized hole in their kitchen..
@@arootube They make countertop dishwashers these days that hook to your sink and they are quite nice, which is what he meant since no incounter dishwasher will cost $150.

Ever since entering the lock-down, I have stopped eating outside, improved my cooking (thanks to you) and saved a ton of money. At the end of the day I am still alive not having eaten that pizza, sandwich, bag of chips, etc It's all just craving, and convenience.
I highly recommend you learn to shape pizza though ! Its so satisfying to control everything abt it down to the toppings you no longer have to pay $2 extra each for !!!
Bro... Learn how to make homemade pizza and you will be able to construct your Perfect Pie
Good stuff man. This is probably my first youtube comment; I'm older than your norm demographic and not known for my social media skills. But your channel has quickly become one of my favs; and considering my premier cooking item is hard boiled eggs in an electric kettle, that is saying a lot. Anyway, keep on going man, love annoying my friends with "hey you need to watch this guys shit" and hijacking their chrome cast.

I got my own apartment last year and vowed to never again spend money on things I can make or learn to make. I have been learning to cook (how I found your videos) and I have saved a lot from not eating out and put it to other things like audiobooks and car payments. I honestly feel the act of not eating out puts you on a more responsible path in life.
Libby is a great app you can link through (US) public libraries to get audiobooks for free. I don't know why everyone pays for Audible when that's literally what library's are for.
@@Eriktheinventor Because Libby is a shitty system for fucking audio books. Imagine borrowing a fucking audio book on your phone. It is infinitely more convenient at that point to just pop over to an actual fucking Library and ask for a CD audio book. Least that way you'll get some fucking sunlight.
@@plantain.1739 why are you so unnecessarily angry?
the next step is learning not to lease/buy new cars so you arent making those payments.
@@GibbaBites you still have to make payments on a used car.
After working on a restaurant and keeping up with inventory costs, price margins, and all the other fun stuff, eating out lost all semblance of sense to me. Now I take all of that money I could have been spending on eating out and just buy copious amounts of alcohol. Problem solved
sure
That's genuinely one of the reasons I avoid alcohol. Besides just not being interested, the amount of money I save warms my little cheapskate heart. Same with caffeine. I know I could learn to love coffee, but I don't wanna be someone that needs to drop 3 dollars each morning to look alive. Growing up with my caffeine-addicted parents taught me that lol
Hi me and my partner went from spending 400 a week on food to 100 thanks to this video. Over $50 a day on take out meals was easy for us to hit as a couple, but now we do a big shop each Sunday and it costs anywhere from $60 - $100 for the whole weeks food. Also much healthier now and lost a lot of weight. Thanks for your vids
You’re right. I always take a packed lunch and a coffee flask for work. I see people spend so much money on food and coffee everyday. Also not healthy.
nice profile picture
It always blows my mind when I hear that my friends are getting takeout like once a week. Maybe its from growing up poor (actually now that I think about it, it's almost certainly from growing up poor) but I dont really feel the need or want to get takeout or go out to eat that often. It's a special occasion, once a month at MOST (which sometimes even feels like a lot because growing up my family would go out to eat for birthdays and that was pretty much it). Saves me so much money. I'm currently 20, have my own one bedroom apartment in Minneapolis, and work at a bagel shop. Not exactly high paying work but between tips, low expenses (my housing is decently cheap for what it is and I dont drive), and a little bit of luck, I could pretty easily save about $700/month back when I was working full time (cut down to part time the last few weeks to work on building my animation portfolio to switch careers- I'm self taught, so no college debt either yay) and like sure I'm not gonna retire early to a tropical island on $700 a month in savings but I feel like people really underestimate how much of a difference it can make to be more mindful of your unnecessary spending and build good spending habits early. It'll make it so much easier to start saving more when I'm not working a minimum wage job
700 a month could get you up around a million dollars by age 50. That's enough to have 40k a year in safe spending without touching your principal. If you have paid off your house in that 30 years you can have really cheap housing and live quite well.
Kudos to you. Make sure you invest it so it grows. Avoid people who write about money, unless you can validate they've made money before writing books. The guy rich dad poor dad makes all good money telling others how to invest, but his track record is non existent, for eg.
Bro growing up poor is the reason I was bad with money. I always wanted to eat out but never got to, so as soon as I started making real money I wasted a lot. Lesson learned though.

@@starlightt4094 Thank you!!! I was so motivated, I ended up buying a second home in California this past October (2020)
I found out I had a bunch of hard to avoid food allergies recently so I can't go out to eat anymore. My older brother always wanted me to open a Roth IRA when I got my first job, so I think now is a great time to start. Thanks for the motivation in a non-condescending way. I appreciate it!
The money that I save from never eating out goes to not defaulting on my rent payments, not my bank account.

"Reject Convenience" is some of the best advice for the modern world.
I gave up going to pawn shops, Craigslist, thrift shops, local government/police auctions and garage sales to find deals for the sake of convenience. I have justifications tho:
Here is a common scenario. Let's say we're buying a used speaker from a pawn shop.
1. It's probably not exactly what you want, it might be a knock off brand, an older model, or a weird color. Literally just got to work with what they got. (tho you gotta shop around, that's the trick.)
2: The guy sells it at 90% of the original price because "it's only a little used." and he looked up the prices on the internet Even though it's taken 25% damage. (before the internet was popular there were some DEALS on uncommon items)
3: Had to drive there and haul it back. "Hey man can I borrow your crappy ford ranger to get this junk back home?"
4: Now you got to fix it, which will take time plus you might have to buy more crap to repair it (although if you buy a ton of broke stuff this has increasing returns since you'll accumulate spare parts and repair skillz)
5: It *probably* is still not going to "work like new" or at least not "look like new" unless you want to also repair the cosmetics. (or you've accumulated the aforementioned "skillz")
Now all of that is usually why I prefer to just shop online. I pay more. Plus shipping. But I don't have to deal with most of the above mentioned BS. It's convenient. (tho the downside imo, you can't see the thing in person before buying it typically)
BUT if you have the GUTS for it and or you got an eye for good deals, thrift shopping ain't bad.
Side tip: You gotta know when it's better to replace and when it's better to repair. On a PC for example, you can do updates and "repair" the thing with basic maintenance. But if the power supply is broke you gotta replace that. DON'T try and repair it, it's not worth it and it's dangerous. If the motherboard needs repairs it's probably not worth buying, but technically it can be done. (Unless a capacitor is leaking, same warning as the power supply.)
went in expecting a lecture. Left with sound advice and optimism. Good shit, man.
Worked for three years at a place that matched 4% of my 401k contributions (ended up doing 5%) and ended up saving around $7000 just from that. Left and converted it to a personal Roth IRA, took a penalty for that (😭) which knocked me down to about $6000 but I continued to contribute $25 from each paycheck ($50 a month) over the next two years and I’m already at $7500. It truly adds up.
So refreshing to see someone on youtube who actually cuts to the chase and gives us the real deal! SUBSCRIBED ❤️
Honestly, stocking up on food before lockdown and then only going shopping once a week really taught me to be more creative with the food I have at home and making more out of the basics.
“An indecipherably cryptic tome of jargon” is one of the most geniusly hilarious lines out of context I’ve ever heard
I love you king. I come back to this video at least once a year.
This channel literally saves lives
It's very cool to see someone in our generation using their soapbox for things we actually need. Thanks dude.
This is second video i watched I’m already realizing that i needed your channel in my life love your distinctive fun personality
Im 25, no one my ages has money, they all trip balls that i bought my car cash.
Modern day impulse, instant gratification culture is what messes people up.
I’m 19 bought my car cash, live alone and yes I pay me rent in cash every month. I’ve worked over 50 hours a week since I was 17 right out of high school. Moved out the week I turned 18.

My boy, I followed your crepe video to the tee and impressed my girlfriend at the time for breakfast!
Absolutely love your videos and how you go through the steps - most underrated channel on TH-cam but you'll totally make it in no time!
I’ve been resisting ordering uber eats for the last 3 hours and this vid popped up during my recipe vid binge. 🤤😛🤤
before getting back to work (great advice, btw, thanks) just wanted to say that your channel is super neat! the best discovery of my evening.
Your brussle sprouts video was the first one I watched and I've been subscribed ever since. you have a great personality and I think you bring something new to the youtube cooking genre. Keep it up!
Its so weird to not hear "whats up guys" or something like that at the start of a video ... its like a whole new world
I’m a good cook. However, after cooking 3 meals a day for the last 5 weeks because of the lockdown I would give up my left testicle and my 401k just to have a decent sit down meal in a restaurant.
Add a pint of beer in the hot summer sun and we have a date
how you holding up now?
Yikes bud learn to meal prep
A little excessive but ok
You, uhhhhhh........you still good?
Damn I just got confused and ate the cash in my wallet
I’ve watched like 6 of your videos but this is the one that got me to sub. This is legitimately helpful advice. Most of my money is going to food and it’s not even good.
I feel like the market has gotten better and better at discouraging people from rejecting convenience in the years since this video came out !!
I am almost 60. I totally agree that learning how and what to cook can go a long way towards keeping you healthier as well as saving tons of money. As an aside, for at least 40 years of my life I did the traditional route of working, school, saving, and hoping to be able to retire. A few years ago I saw that as frugal as I was I was not going to be able to retire. So I did something that I've wanted to do my entire adult life. I started buying junk houses, fixing them up, and leasing them. I am not quite where I need to be but my passive income has almost surpassed my earned income. This meaning I am almost effectively retired. As with anything thing in life there are two sides. We need to save, but also earn. Most of my life I concentrated on saving. Now I am doing both. I am not saying real estate is the only way, but most millionaires got that way from real estate. I'd encourage you to find something you enjoy doing and find a way to make money doing it. Working for someone else is not necessarily the best option.
wow you go gordon!!! that's so cool!!
I love your videos dude they’re simple and straightforward unlike other cooking channels thanks for the dope content 😊

Best thing my husband and I ever did was start making larger portion meals and saving extra sauce (if we used a crock pot).
We spend maybe $500 a month on food now for 2 people. We were spending so much more then that (canada is pricey yo) and it's been fucking LIT
"stop eating half your money" video ended with a long ad for Door Dash..
ah yes the final test
pretty excited to see a notification this AM that you uploaded!
cooking AND personal finance?! this channel was made for me. You did an excellent job of summing up the problem with how people our age spend their money.
Im not stranger to meal prep, but some how little side "snacks" took over the past year. On Jan 2019, I've spent $47 on a (restaurant) dinner for 2. That was $460 down my average spending/mo for 2018. My grocery bill was 60% less than my 2018 monthly expense. Change and consistency has been hard, but I'm appreciating the extra cash...which is going into my IRA.
salute, comrade.
a few fancy meals per month is not worth a lifetime of wage slavery
nice video man - i def spend a majority of my money on food. gotta start cooking more.

"put away a majority of your money" is valid advice if you make enough money to not have to live with nothing but a mattress in your apartment. It's all well and good to tell someone with a 9 to 5 that advice but a minimum wage worker isn't going to be able to afford much in the way of anything bar bare essentials
Congrats on breaking 10k subscribers btw. When you hit one million I'd like a kiss on the cheek 😘
I know this is an old ass video, but I just rewatched it and saw how many comments either completely missed the point or are purposely ignoring it. I’ll preface a bit by saying that I hate hustle/grind culture type shit as much if not more than most people, but there is absolutely some truth to it. I also am very much of the opinion that we should enjoy life while we can, but enjoying life doesn’t have to mean spending money. Lots of people are complaining about how they never eat out and are still completely broke because they have a shit, low paying job. Clearly this video isn’t directed at you, it’s pretty obvious this video is directed at folks with above poverty wages. And then everyone else is complaining about not having the energy to cook food after working, but if you are working 8 hour shifts and assume like an hour commute either way, you still have 14 hours in the day. If you are one the few that are actually getting your full 8 hours of sleep, that’s still 6 hours of time every day that you have mostly free. If you can’t muster up the will to spend less than an hour of that time a day on fixing yourself some food and would rather spend it jerking off and watching Netflix and waiting on your Uber eats, that is absolutely a you problem. Again, I’m not saying you need to always be on the grind or whatever, no breaks, no days off, but you’re investing in your future, and things won’t get better for you unless you put a bit of effort in. If you have to think of cooking and saving money as extra time you spend at work to make yourself do it, then do it, but the best thing you can ever do is to get yourself to enjoy it. I love cooking, it’s not a chore for me, so I see it as a recreational activity. It’s fun for me to make something that tastes good, so instead of taking away from my “me time” it’s actually a great way to spend it. Hell, I even enjoy going to the grocery store and just thinking about what kind of things I can cook with the ingredients I’m buying.
The amount of my friends that literally never cook for themselves is absurd. Sometimes I just want to grab them and be like “Bro, you are making $13 an hour and eat out or Uber eats every single meal, you literally eat half of your pay check.” If you think about it that way, if it takes an hour’s work to buy your daily groceries and an hour of time to prepare it, that’s like an average of an hour of work less you have to do in the future if you quit eating out.
And less applicable to most people but is so to a lot of college students, you don’t need to go out 2-3 nights per week. Tons of my friends probably spend like $100 a week if not more on drinks. I love a good night out, but I refuse to spend what could buy a weeks worth of food in one night on a regular basis. If you absolutely have to go out, just keep some cheap shitty liquor around that you can pregame the fuck out of so that you can just sip on a couple beers for the rest of the night. Still not a great financial decision, but way better than paying for expensive ass drinks at the club that they make using even worse alcohol than the poison you’ve been pregaming with.
The numbers there might have somewhat been pulled out of my ass, but the principle is absolutely true and almost every 20-something, and probably most folks that are older, would benefit significantly by being honest with themselves about how much unnecessary spending they do.
TLDR You probably “don’t have the energy” to work 8+ hours every day either, but you do it anyways because you have to make money, so just think of saving money as the same thing. Unless you can get friendly with a well off relative on their death bed, your situation won’t improve unless you do something about it, so quit spending so much fucking money all the time.
You are an amazing speaker and performer, thank you for the great advice!
Powerful message, super concise, I love it
Based on the comments it seems like people benefitted from this advice. (I found your channel clicking through from the short where you pointed out the rediculousness of saying "I'll just give up and become a stripper".)
I went ahead and subscribed because I like the effort to keep it short and could use some ideas even though I'm not outside your being audience at 41. (I switched careers away from a desk job and have a tough time finding energy to do much cooking.)
One thing I wish you had spelled out: This may be why your audience is so broke, but "you rely on too much convenience" is not why your generation is struggling. And I think anyone who can benefit from the avacado toast suggestion very much needs a reminder that their personal experience is WILDLY unrepresentative of the general population.
And while I became a car mechanic not a stripper, I just wanted to say that it's nice to see someone talking about sex work being... well... work. (And to relate that story about the clueless boss without heaping on a bunch of misogyny.)

Yes for millenials learning how to cook! And I say cool it on those meal kit boxes too. I'm amazed how many people are spending that kinda money on chopped veggies and a recipe card! Great video!
The best thing to come out of meal kit subscriptions is that the grocery stores in my area are starting to package up their own. They end up cheaper, fresher, more local, and not shipped to my door in a diesel truck
@@internetshaquille totally. So many more pre-cooked things in the produce section these days. Cooked beets seem to be getting some traction..
@@internetshaquille Which ones? I haven't noticed those things at my Kroger, Meijer, Aldi, or my small town grocery.
How does quality content like this not have AT LEAST 1 million yet?
Your the 🐐 man thanks for making this channel it's very informative and fun
I have to comment. I used to watch him on vine. What a likeable guy
SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
i feel a good tack on to “reject convenience” is making your own convenience. dont order jarred sauce, make your own (you have a vid on that already) and freeze it. freeze smoothies, learn to jazz up plain greek yogurt, go nuts!
Incredible. This means a lot, and I want to truly thank you for the bite-size knowledge.That last part was a direct attack that I do NOT appreciate, however. As far as my co-workers are concerned, I AM working!
Bro I just wanted you to tell me how to freeze my foods better.

Me, an intellectual: _jobless, with 500 dollars in debt_ Nailed it
there's so many of us, eventually we'll be the examples to follow from the newspapers. HA! take that responsible adults!

$500 isn’t bad at all!! I was like 2.5k in January. Many people have way more, 5k, 50, 100
Only 500 dollars in debt!!!!!!!!!! I’m still paying off a hospital stay from 2015. I’m 28.
Its amazing a subway veggie sandwich can cost $11 here where I live. When add up the ingredients, it barely adds to $1! A piece of lettuce, 2 pieces of bread, a slice of cheese, a cucumber slice here and there...
Appreciate the vids brotha.
Since stay-at-home orders started, I've learned how to cook a bit more. I've stock with basic things I am given at my local food bank. Just made a one pan English Breakfast, which was delish. Having said that, please try to throw some dollars at your local favorite restaurants/cafes/bars with kitchens to help them stay a float. Thanks for reading.
I just wanted to grow hydroponic tomatoes. Now I'm enamored of a high-value channel full of short, no-BS videos delivering solid advice. What happened?
I'm late to this and I like the general advice here. But spending money on food isn't the root of my financial problems. It's the fact that almost half my wage goes toward rent
I dunno how you ended up on my front page, but i like your steeze, no filler bs. Subbed.
The way he speaks radiates intelligence i-
A lot of my friends are 35+, including myself, and one thing we all kind of collectively realized at the same time, is once you hit a level of cooking, going out to eat doesn't even taste as good anymore.
I still buy maruchan ramen. Not as a survival staple, but just as a quick and easy meal. You make your maruchan, you add your own spices, toss in an egg and a piece of porkbelly, and you basically have a bomb ass bowl of soup for around 2-3$ a serving, IF THAT. Where as if you just go to one of any ramen shops you're paying anywhere between 8-15$ for basically the same bowl. It also helps that my favorite genre of food to cook, is basically fast food recreations. Once i've mastered crunchwrap supremes and quesaritos it pretty much guarantees i'm never eating at a taco bell again.
Cooking is a great way to save money, i also find it fun and calming that i can just throw on a podcast and make a quick meal. You'll also impress you're current/future spouse, so that helps.
I don't know why it took me so long to subscribe to you but I'm here now. Good shit.
I just found this channel and neeeeed more of this content- everything from cooking to occasionally advice
I love this shit and I love you. You're so on the pulse, man. You are all the best things about the internet. Wait, I guess that explains your name...
When the Applebee’s logo came on I said 😳
I love you man. Great video!
Most entertaining cooking show I’ve seen in a while
