Today's video is all about
simple ways to save money.
And this video was actually
inspired by prepper princess's
video.
She did one very similar,
and if you haven't checked out
her channel definitely would
because she is the queen of
saving money.
36% of Americans do not have
enough cash on hand to cover a
$400 emergency.
And 56% of Americans can not
even cover a thousand dollar
emergency.
So clearly we need to be
saving more money.
So let's talk about over 20
ways that we can save money.
I am Tiffany Thomas with
wealthy tiffany.com
and I achieved financial
freedom and became a
millionaire.
If you're looking to do one or
even both of those things,
make sure and hit that like
button and hit the subscribe
button.
And we're going to dive right
in.
And today's video is in a
little bit different format.
So I apologize for the not so
great audio.
When I do go out to eat,
I save half of my meal so that
I can have it for lunch the
next day.
And this is actually from the
Texas road house,
which I love.
So I fill up on their rolls
with cinnamon butter and
salad,
and then I have plenty of
chicken and broccoli
leftovers.
So sometimes my leftovers can
be even more than just one
meal.
I buy items that I'm going to
eat a lot in bulk to help save
on costs,
especially where I eat oatmeal
every day for breakfast.
I started growing my own
vegetables so that I wouldn't
have to buy so many vegetables
at the grocery store.
I will leave the lights off
and open the blinds so that I
can use the outside light
free.
I have blackout curtains on
some of my windows to help
with the heat that's coming in
during the summer and the cold
that tries to come in during
the winter.
And they're also great so that
not a lot of sunshine comes in
if I am trying to sleep early
in the morning,
I use a fan instead of turning
on the air conditioner all of
the time.
I use led motion sensor
nightlights.
So when you come in at night,
you don't have to flip on a
light.
I use power strips to help
save on electricity.
I can just turn the button on
and off when I'm not using the
items plugged into the power
strip.
I have an Amazon fire stick
that I use instead of paying
for cable or satellite.
And I also have just a smart
TV.
I will use pictures that I
have taken myself and use them
as artwork in my house.
I have roommates that help me
save on housing costs and I'm
not going to go in their
bedrooms.
I reuse the towel that I dry
off with multiple times before
I wash it.
I used to buy this product to
clean my shower,
but now I have refilled this
bottle with Don and a vinegar.
And that is what I clean my
shower with.
And while we were in the
shower,
I also do not wash my hair
every single day.
I use the generic brand of
baby oil for eye makeup
remover and for shaving.
I run all of my errands at
once when I'm already out and
about and doing something.
I go to the library and check
out books free.
I also check out DVDs so I can
watch movies free and they
have CDs that you can listen
to.
So I have music to listen to
that is free.
And not only that,
the library has a free app
that you can download books
too,
or even listen to books.
Instead of spending a lot of
money on extracurricular
activities,
I go walking outside,
which is completely free.
I found a free place to do
zumba and I also teach zumba.
So I am not paying for a gym
membership in order to
exercise.
I've unsubscribed from a lot
of newsletters so I'm not
tempted to buy anything.
Comment below and tell me your
favorite way that you are able
to save money.
And what is the point of
sharing all of these different
ways to save money with you?
It is to help you save money
because clearly,
like I shared in the beginning
of the video,
stats show that we are not
saving enough money and that
is super scary.
So if we can just do these
little things around our house
and save a little bit of extra
money that is going to add up
over time and what are we
going to do with that money we
are saving?
We are going to pay off high
interest debt first,
if we have that,
and next we are going to make
sure that we have an emergency
fund in place so that we do
not go into that again,
if another emergency comes up.
And then the next thing we
were going to do is invest our
money.
We are going to make our money
work for us so that we do not
have to continue to work for
the money.
And I have a lot of videos
about how to invest your money
and keep it very,
very simple.
It is not something that needs
to be overwhelming or scary.
So make sure and check out my
videos about how to invest
your money,
because really the ultimate
goal is to become financially
free so that we can have that
peace of mind so that we don't
have to be worrying about
money all the time or where
our next paycheck is going to
come from,
or have debt hanging over our
heads and making us feel awful
and stressed all of the time.
And I actually just completed
a five step video series about
how to actually become
financially free.
So make sure and check those
videos out.
I will leave a link to that
playlist below in the
description.
And if you're thinking,
well,
I want my money to work for me
right now,
but I just don't have money to
invest.
Webull is doing a promotion
where they are giving away six
free stocks if you set up a
free account using my referral
link.
So I will leave that link
below in the description.
You can click on that to set
up a free brokerage account
and get six free stocks.
