If you can master the discipline of making more money but not spending more, you'll build wealth a LOT faster and even retire early. If you don't want to wake up one day and wonder where all your money went, make sure to keep that "lifestyle creep" in check!
It's about being aware of the tradeoffs. Because there is ALWAYS a tradeoff. Every time you say YES to something, you're saying NO to something else. Sure, you deserve to have nice things. But you know what else you deserve? You deserve to not have to work until you die. Everything has a tradeoff.

@ccccccchhhhhh808 3 года назад

I try to attach some spending with something else. For example, never eat out unless it's with friends (ie. Never buying breakfast or lunch for work), taking a girls trip after hitting saving and investing goals as a trip, buying new gym clothes after reaching fitness goals. I think it also helps motivate myself to reach goals but not depriving myself in the process.

@antoniosoria9433 3 года назад

Even when I was making $200k/year I still lived on about $80k/year and invested the rest into the stock market for decades. It’s really liberating to tell your boss to f-off and just quit when he’s a jerk. The last two jobs I just up and quit because of managers. Because of our money management discipline, our net worth hit $6M and we’re still in our mid-50s and will retire in 2.5 years .

@richbateman9029 3 года назад

Clothes can be so dangerous! I reached a point where every month I would go shopping and come home with mountains of clothes, thinking they'd make me happy. And I ended up barely wearing them or wanting to wear something else the next month. Nowadays I'll hit an outlet shopping center once a year, get clothes on a discount, and actually wear what I own. So much money saved!

@k-jax3533 3 года назад

I really enjoy all of Rose's videos, and agree with the "lifestyle creep" message. However, I think it's all about priorities. I'm a car guy, so I'd spend more on the car, and save on a smaller house, clothes, services, etc.

@celineg7584 3 года назад

I would say that deleting my Instagram has been one of the best ways to prevent lifestyle creep! I can’t see people posting about expensive clothes, food, or travel anymore, which has really realigned my expectations :)

@comicstvnfilmcritic 3 года назад

I started cooking my own meals in March. Dropped my spending by a lot!!! Also, if I do eat out, I try NOT to use apps and instead give the money to the Restaurant! No bottled water, either. Recyclable bottles are better for the environment and cost less in the long run. I wanted a bigger TV and found a 48" for $45 at a thrift store! No need to always buy the most expensive stuff!!! I have been following your videos to learn more about planning the future without sacrificing all of the now. Thanks for all the solid advice! I had a friend who's a CPA confirm it, since I know nothing about finances but should and she said your worksheets are legit!

@Ohh4udumn 3 года назад

Thinking I can buy stuff to cure my insecurities was my biggest weakness. Dealing with that lowered my spending on makeup, skincare, and clothes drastically. Now, I need to address my food spending. I discovered truffle mac & cheese at the grocery store and it's been tough trying to let go of that.

@Screech032 3 года назад

I've made adjustments in every area mentioned. Ironically, without every new gadget I honestly feel like I'm living in the future by living for my future if that makes sense. The hardest part was programming my thoughts to no longer care about comments family members and people around me make based on assumptions that I don't have much money. Only those very close to me know I've simply adopted a minimalistic lifestyle. I love it! The amount of stress gone is unbelievable!

@roxanneconner7185 3 года назад

Something I find helps with excess spending is making sure I'm getting dopamine from other sources - seeing friends, doing art, taking a walk, reading a book (that I ALREADY own haha) etc. If you're taking time for yourself to make sure you're happy, buying things becomes less tempting. Also, pre-cut veggies often have chemicals on them to stop them from oxidizing that are bad for you, so don't buy them on principle. Also, I love your hair!!!

@itsrosehan 3 года назад

That is SUCH a good way to put it! "making sure you get dopamine from other sources"... When it comes down to it, that's the reason we spend money huh? To get that hit of dopamine. But if we get it elsewhere we have less urge to spend. Good inspo for another video, thanks :D

@160p2GHz 3 года назад

Thanks for making this; I don't think I've seen it addressed before but am experiencing it now. I went to buy a sofa for the first time in my life -- not a big fancy leather thing just a 700 dollar Ikea one --and at the register I was literally sweating beads because it hit me that I was about to spend the most at a check out I've ever spent in my life. I was homeless 15 years ago. The place I lived after that I slept on seat pads on a basement floor. Like you I just had a moment where I realized how different the numbers felt. I told myself I could get the sofa because I've wanted that model for years and I had set money aside for it. I don't worry about how much is in my account most of the time when I get food. Sometimes now if I do have an unexpected expense I still physically freak out and have to talk myself down like "it's ok, you have a savings now, and you can replenish that in a few months...". Sometimes I walk through my neighborhood now and see the nice cars people have and go "man if I could afford that I wouldn't be living here...", I can't see ever spending a lot on a car especially if I had to finance much of it. I'm gonna drive my beater into the ground. For me, I was really torn on whether to keep my apartment without a roommate, that was the hardest decision, still not sure it's right but it's an easy one to change if I want a roommate again. I'm at least still really good at not buying new clothes until I have like ... no option in that category left, and I am a super cheap traveller. I stay in Motel 6, hostels, or camp for 3 reasons: saves my money, i travel with a dog, and I get to stay in super nice hotels from time to time anyway through my work. PS your hair is sooooo beautiful! Love the colors.

@Theblondebass1 3 года назад

I needed this pep talk/reminder. I went from making $8 an hour and work 3 jobs to be able to eat in college to making $65,000 a year job 4 months after graduation and my spending became out of control! I had to have this same conversation with myself a few months ago when I was "replacing" items in my home that there was nothing wrong with or buying things I already had to "test or compare" to see if it was better ! I've experienced EXACTLY what you're talking about. You live up to you means and everytime your means increase so does your spending. So freaking crazy! I'm glad I'm not alone in this!!

it comes down to this. If you love what you have, you have everything you need. Lifestyle creep is (sometimes) a symptom of not being happy enough in your emotional or spiritual life.

Yes! I have made myself such a victim of this. I almost bought myself a sports car last year with $6k in credit card debt. Have a perfectly good car, great gas mileage, even has heated leather seats and a sunroof which is more than I ever even needed and still I convinced myself I needed a car that was "sexy" and "cool." To impress who I really have no idea. So glad I didn't fall into the trap of paying $500+ a month in car payments. I don't make a ton but I still travel a lot and people always ask me how I afford it....as they drive around in giant SUVs that won't be paid off for another 10 years.

@jenniwlee 3 года назад

Yes, so important not to creep up on every category at the same time! I think it's okay to choose and be mindful of your spending and splurges. That stuff changes over time too. I'm okay spending on convenience and certain services, like house cleaning, high quality groceries at the farmer's market. I'm also okay driving a normal car and picking up food directly from the restaurant.

Here's something that will wake you up....Imagine having your pay cut to $600/month. An acquaintance that I met while overseas legit only makes $600 per month. He lives with 5 other people in a room the size of a 1 car garage, no AC, and relies on a co-worker to pick him up and drop him off at his residence. $600/month....mind blown. It is humbling for me to listen to his story and reminds me the you don't have to make lots of money to be a good person.

Spending creep for me ended up in more expensive, higher-end alcohol. More expensive wines, more expensive hard liquors, hipster, pre-prohibition style drinks, better beer (or going out rather than a beer at home). And I drank at the same rate I was consuming the cheaper stuff. Now, I don’t abstain altogether, but I only drink with friends and enjoy “the good stuff” slowly in a sitting and once a month tops. Also way better for my health goals, btw. Crazy how spending habits can creep up so quickly.

Me too:) And I realized that when I am consuming those expensive drinks, what I am truly seeking is aesthetic. So I started choosing the locations carefully. My friends usually appreciate me doing the research and booking so it's win-win.

I live in San Diego and covid restrictions have begun to loosen up quite a bit. There's also tons of outdoor dining options available and definitely this month I have noticed a serious uptick in my "revenge spending" mainly in my dining out budget category. I've had fun and it feels good to get out and support local restaurants but it also just feels so wasteful considering probably 50% of that money is going towards alcohol. I've committed to making some lifestyle changes and instead of going to restaurants and bars in order to be social, I'm organizing more hiking and beach days. Things that are active and less expensive and kinder to my liver. I haven't nailed it yet, avoiding alcohol in social situations is really challenging, but I'm excited about the progress I'm making. If I could add a #9 to your list it would be "Don't drink your money"

Honestly, the kind of life I want is pretty simple. Living out in the country in a little cottage and buying lovely vintage clothes from a thrift store is my go-to lifestyle. For my first car, I’ve already decided I want something that works well yet is still affordable like a Honda Accord or a Honda civic at least to start with. The real problem I’ve been stuck with lately when it comes to getting too comfortable with living a more expensive lifestyle is the little things. It doesn’t seem like much but it adds up. It starts with something little and neat I wanted or just collect in my spare time. I’ve come to the realization recently that those things don’t hold a candle to the goals I want to achieve and to make the mature correct decisions, I need to put those things aside at least for a little while until I can afford them. Thank you for the great tips and for helping me out on my money-saving journey! God bless ❤️

I understand what you say about automobiles but that is my enjoyment. I live about 80 miles away from my aging parents that only drive to their local market. I have a nice car that I drive with my parents. I have a MX-5 that I love to drive on nice sunny-day weekends and a 4x4 truck that I use to explore the back roads.

I want to believe that well-dressed does not equal designer! Well-dressed may just be well-fitted- which does not have to break the bank. Thanks for explaining every single point you made, especially how it may be difficult to avoid the creep with fashion because it’s visual. It helps me try to curb my own unconscious spending in this area.

The main concept I’m taking away from this video is to figure out what type of lifestyle I want to have- sustainably and long term. And to understand the trade offs because let’s be real- time and money are finite.

@jadelightsword 3 года назад

Convenience and subscriptions are such millennial lifestyle creep areas! Those aren't my weaknesses though. Mine are housing, fashion/beauty, and now furniture/home decor. Beauty and comfort are so important to me. But in comparison, I make well into the 6 figures and have never had a cleaning lady, and have never bought precut produce for myself. It's interesting what areas people have preferential creep in!

Things that creep, definitely designer pieces of clothing that I’ve never had, splurges of Jimmy Choo and Louboutin heels that I’ll wear once in a blue moon. Thank you for all these real unconscious unnecessary spending advice. Also of the refugee generation (not first generation, my kids are) and just learning about financially literacy in my 40s. Made tons of mistakes in 20s and 30s. Now no debt - living simply, saving, learning how to invest (with yours and some other you tubers). Travel is cheap because spouse and I hike so we don’t eat out much, wear the same clothes every trip basically, stay in cheap but safe and clean hotels because we just sleep, use CC for miles to fly.

@daveschmarder-1950 3 года назад

I bought my current house in 1981. Since I retired 14 years ago, my stash has doubled. I record my expenses on a spreadsheet. My house is small, so I don't buy much of anything. I drive to the grocery store once a week. I spend around $100 a year on clothes. Besides cable, I spend about $30 a month on subscriptions. I sure don't look very rich but I'm not paying for their view. No deliveries as I live too far away. We don't have Uber or anything like that. My crappy car is 11 years old now. I've owned it for 6. I think I am your poster child, Rose. :)

They usually have a nice phone, shoes, and all the streaming service accounts. Also, having status symbols make you a target for thieves.

I feel like healthy organic food is an investment for my health in the long term. I also like fashion, but still pick up things on sale. Also, I got to be careful with getting my hair done.

Good video ! I’m aware of all of these things already. On the cut veggie note : my mom told me last week that we shouldn’t do that (purchase them ) because we don’t know where they cut them and with what knife . She claimed her friend got HIV that way? Not sure . Anyways be careful . For the groceries the easiest thing is to shop off the app and do pick up ! Invest in the gadgets like the air fryer and pressure cookers. Have some items that are quick like pizzas 🍕 for those weekends you don’t want to cook . Like Trader Joe’s has an awesome orange chicken in the bag for $5 and with some white rice , in 10 minutes you have a quick Saturday dinner and frozen pizza for lunch lol , yes I’ve been doing the library for years for Audio ! I get Netflix through T-MOBILE. So like I said , good video !

@rickmarr8784 3 года назад

The only thing I can think of is getting a internet connection. But I'll doubt I'll be doing anything more then I do now. I still buy my groceries in Chinatown for produce anyways. It's so much cheaper then the super markets. Beef is the only thing I buy from the super markets along with Ice cream and snacks. But I usually only stock up with a 2 week supply and try to stretch it out. I don't really buy new clothes only if they start falling apart. So I really watch what I spend, my fear is ending up like my parents who only believed in the old way of thinking that saving up money would make a person successful but the world has changed and that way of thinking doesn't work anymore. BTW like the hair.

Totally relate to this video, especially the part about the car! I've never spent more than $3,000 in one place, and that was on a car... which took me all over the US with minimal repairs, and when it started having problems I no longer cared to deal with, I was still able to sell it for $500. Can't imagine trading a year or more of total freedom for a fancy car that I would only regularly drive a few miles to friends, church or the grocery store. Would rather put it in my house/devices that I use constantly, or better yet, invest it to reach financial freedom faster.
