    9:00 - buying less we can afford to work less. That hit me like a tonne of bricks!

    My new year's resolution, no clothes and shoes this year. Been doing really great up until now, i decluttered my closet and sold a lot of pieces, now the urge to buy new clothes is strong becaue of the extra money. What helps is watching videos like yours in youtube.

      yes! how amazing! I do this too what I feel the urge to buy more stuff, I consume more minimalist content :D it helps!

      What is your favorite place to sell your clothes? I'm having a hard time selling new with tags items.

    I just got laid off and I had a lot of impulsive purchases when I still had a job. Now that I’m unemployed I need to learn to do a no-buy monthly unless it’s necessities.

      I can definitly relate to this! Wishing you all the best!

    I'm going to do my first no-buy next month. I'm nervous but excited. I'm also gonna document whenever I get the "buy itch". I'm curious to find out what type of things they'll be. Thanks for the video!

    Think of it as buying back your time. Less spending means you have to work less.

    • @CatchyCravings

    It might not seem like I owe that much but it is such a struggle, knowing my brain isn’t functioning properly. The inner conflict is brutal! I am encouraged knowing I can have a low buy vs no buy. After two knee injuries I HAVE TO walk. That’s where the temptation comes in as I walk in stores. Yesterday I walked the 10 aisles of a store with no purchase but I planned to have a pumpkin spice latte and hot dog totaling $3.50. I felt successful. I had to remind myself I wasn’t there to shop.

    I find it hard not to buy new cosmetics and care products. What I found out- I simply got bored by old ones and they still last.

    • @CatchyCravings
      @CatchyCravings  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I totally relate to this! my rule is 1 in, 1 out. I can only buy something new, when I've used up the old. Believe me it's hard sometimes. Maybe try out new things with existing products, it gives it a fresh breath of air, like combining old clothes into new outfits. Incorporate your skincare into a new cozy routine :)

    I’m broke/low income in a time of high inflation and coupled with a budget with embedded financial goals it’s easy to stay motivated, basically have no choice

    Yep…staying away from stores,malls, any shopping places that are not related to grocery shopping.Definitely my weakness. Getting better. I’m doing a no buy this 2024 .Wish me luck 😅 I definitely don’t need anything…..I need to downsize. I have to much stuff

    • @CatchyCravings
      @CatchyCravings  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      yes! we can to this! I'm also doing a low-buy this year! stay tuned!

    I get tempted when I look at websites that go over testing of different clothing items and list the winners of the testing. So I think the best items are better than what I own and am tempted to buy.

    • @CatchyCravings
      @CatchyCravings  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I totally understand. It is often through comparison that we see what we "lack". But we can reframe our mindeset and see all the amazing things we have as blessings! :)

    I have multiples of everything including craft items. I can go for 10 years without wearing out shoes, repeating outfits, tired of bags, or running out of craft supplies. This simple fact is really what I was horrified in realizing. I am keeping this in mind daily starting 2024. Really, there is no excuse to buy anything except grocery.

    • @CatchyCravings
      @CatchyCravings  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      yes! I love this! realizing it is the first step :)

  • @watchmethriving
    @watchmethriving 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    while I'm watching this I am making a list of things I can do with stuff I already have. I'll have the lists to refer to so I'll be less tempted to buy stuff when bored.
