  1. When I lost my job last year, I learned that most utility companies have financial hardship programs that you can apply for. It’s not usually a huge discount, but if you’re struggling financially every little bit helps. The electricity company only took about 10% off the bill, but my water bill was reduced by 2/3rds.

    I was recently inspired by a Wheezy Waiter video where he talked about gamifying savings. I’ve started doing a thing where every few days I look at my account balances and transfer any “loose change” (amounts under $1) to savings. It’s not much, but over time it will add up. Same too with any amount that was budgeted for a bill but was left over. As you say, it’s more of a mindset shift; now instead of looking for money in my budget to spend, I am looking for money to squirrel away.

  2. I love this video. I'm born and raised in the US. My girlfriend is totally no-confrontation. I'm 180° opposite in that respect. Props to you for standing your ground during that concert fiasco. Gotta say that aversion to confrontation is some of the most Canadian stuff I've ever seen–being a US native, believe me this is a good thing. Given our current climate here in the States, I think we can all give others a bit more grace at times. It's also good to know when to be the walker and not the doormat.

  3. Thanks for the tips! I just got paid today and as soon as you said to pay yourself first…I just logged into my bank account and moved 10% of my pay to my savings and will continue to do so! Thanks! I always wash everything in cold water, but by hand as I don’t have a washer or dryer… and I hang everything to dry. I wear pajamas several times, I wear tops twice and I wear pants 5 times. I just go to work and sit at a desk all day, so my clothes aren’t really getting dirty. 😊

  4. Yall get this. No washing machine no dryer. Dont wanna pay the laundromat. I just bought a bucket. Fill it with water, rinse first to get rid of diry. Second with soap. Third with soap again. Dry in the sun. Sometimes i take things that i need a lot like socks or underwear or workout clothes in the shower with me. I grew up with a washing and drying machine and picked up doing this while traveling and never stopped. Never paid a laundromat in my life.

  5. Does anyone have a HYSA that they are happy with? I joined ALLY a few years ago when they were at 4.50% interest; now they are down to 3.50%. I've been searching for, not a new one but a separate one, and haven't found one that I really like.

  6. Thank you for the tip i need to stop online shopping now… every week im buying online groceries every week and cook share to my neighbors…but every week im cooking to share in church…i cannot cut that sharing foods in church…

  7. Love the pit police!!! I've never been in or near a pit where people were rude, but that might speak to the nineties, and the fact that the bands I knew would stop playing or even jump into the crowd to help. Have not been to any shows lately!
