Simple (boring) habits that save me money 💸

Reaching financial goals requires financial sacrifice - there’s no way around it

Think about the life you’re trying to build, and spend accordingly

💭 Comment BUDGET if you want to take control of your money in 2026 and i’ll send you a copy of my template!

You can’t fix what you don’t track. You need to know where your money is going and how much you’re spending every month

📈 For the past decade, I’ve aimed to save/invest ~50%of my income (impossible to know your savings rate if you don’t track it)

📈 I track my income and expenses in my budgeting template every single month (sometimes by category, sometimes bulked together)

Over time, I got clear on what I DO value:

→ Travel + experiences
→ Tech that improves my business or health
→ Education + personal growth
→ Health + wellness
→ Investments that buy freedom

✨ Identify the 2–3 categories you truly value. Spend there. Ignore the rest.

Things I don’t buy (how I save money):

1️⃣ Fast fashion - I buy based on label quality
2️⃣ Dining out - I cook at home ~90% of the time
3️⃣ Home decor (Easy when I don’t have a home base)
4️⃣ I don’t need the newest tech every year
5️⃣ Items that serve one purpose or have one use
6️⃣ Impulse buys. I wait 1–2 months before big purchases
7️⃣ Trend-based shopping
8️⃣ I cut Cj’s hair (and sometimes my own)

Mindset shifts that help:

1️⃣ Pause before purchasing
2️⃣ Use what you already have (check under your sink)
3️⃣ Unsubscribe + unfollow to reduce temptation
4️⃣ One in, one out rule
5️⃣ Quality > quantity // experiences > things
6️⃣ I cycle subscriptions and don’t pay for multiple at once

You don’t have to spend more to live well - you just have to spend in alignment with the life you’re trying to build

The sooner you realize retirement is a number, not an age, the sooner you understand that money isn’t just for stuff - it buys options, freedom, and the power to design your life on your own terms

💭 Do you track your expenses?

Are we still the greatest country? 🙄

Stop letting fear-based headlines, biased narratives, and censored media scare you away from traveling the world. The truth is, the US ranks among the lowest in global peace and societal safety - and things aren’t exactly trending upward

If you didn’t know, the US has fallen from the world's 10 most powerful passports for the first time ever (we ranked 1 in 2014 and have been steadily dropping since)

The declining strength of the US passport over the past decade reflects a deeper shift in global mobility. Countries that prioritize openness, connection and collaboration are moving forward, while those clinging to dominance and relying on old systems are falling behind

If you take anything from my page, let it be this: the media’s representation of a country is often one-sided and flawed. The US has plenty of places that aren’t safe to visit, it doesn’t mean people shouldn’t visit. The same applies for other countries too

When you travel, do these things:
➝ Practice common sense
➝ Respect the local culture
➝ Familiarize yourself with local scams (they happen everywhere)
➝ Be respectful and mindful of local laws and customs
➝ Stay alert and aware of your surroundings
➝ Avoid flashy cars or clothing/accessories that make you stand out

If you let it, travel is transformative. It pushes you out of your comfort zone, immerses you in new cultures, and opens your mind. It’s truly the greatest teacher
