Things I Stopped Buying (Saved $3,200/Year)

Things I Stopped Buying (Saved $3,200/Year)

STOPPED -> SAVED
- Daily coffee shop ($5/day) -> $1,825/year
- Impulse Amazon orders ($50/mo) -> $600/year
- Forgotten subscriptions ($35/mo) -> $420/year
- Bottled water (bought a filter) -> $180/year
- Monthly clothes shopping -> $900/year

REPLACED WITH
- Home coffee machine (paid for itself in 2 weeks)
- 48-hour rule before buying anything
- Monthly subscription audit
- $30 Brita filter
- Thrift stores and capsule wardrobe

I did not cut joy. I cut waste. Big difference.

Right? The TikTok shop is like a dopamine trap. I've started putting stuff in my cart and just walking away for two full days - saved a ton that way. You should give it a try!

Right? That 48-hour rule is a total game changer. I use it for anything over $20 and it's saved me so much regret money. Happy it clicked for you

Right? The TikTok shop is dangerous. I swear half the stuff I almost bought I forgot about by day 3. Glad that rule is helping you too!
