4 WAYS SAVING MONEY CHANGED MY LIFE

hey guys welcome back to my channel I hope you’re having a fantastic day and first of all thank you so much for 10,000 subscribers I cannot believe 10,000 people subscribe to my channel that just seems so surreal to me and thank you so much for support for all your lovely comments and yeah I love you guys so much I can’t thank you enough for following along on my little journey here so today I just wanted to sit down and casually talk with you guys about something that I’ve been thinking about lately I’ve been seeing a lot of comments lately of people asking either why I’m saving money or that they think saving money is just like I don’t know not a good idea or that people that save money are cheap or don’t enjoy their lives some people were saying if you just focus on saving money then your life is going to be really boring if all you do is work and save your money and don’t do anything and I feel like definitely I need to address this with you guys saving money does not make you boring it does not make you cheap it does not mean that you’re not enjoying your life and living in the moment it really doesn’t and I think it’s very important for everybody to save money especially young people who are just starting out because having that buffer that safety net is so critical to just a happy and healthy future and like I said there are a lot of arguments of people who are not saving money will try to tell you to tell you that you’re doing something wrong for saving like you’re not living in the moment and tomorrow isn’t promised but in reality tomorrow is promised for most of us so it is better to prepare for it so first of all if you are saving money do not let anybody make you feel bad for saving money you are not doing anything wrong I think that is a very wise thing to do and yeah let me get into the top reasons why I think you need to be saving first of all if you have a savings account even if it only has $500 in it you will find that having that account will make your life a lot less stressful so as you may have noticed in life often things go wrong things break down things don’t work things need to be replaced and this cost money so if you do not have any it can be highly stressful because all the sudden a flat tire turns into a big drama and it’s very stressful and you open a credit card at the tire store to pay for it and things like that you know and that is just not a good healthy way to live your life because that means every small thing that happens and then will happen I promise you it will happen it will become a very stressful situation and really just having a bit of money can make it very much easier to deal with those types of things so let’s stick with the car you know scenario imagine you have zero dollars in your bank account and you get a flat tire of your battery dies you know it’s a big hassle because you have to phone some people up to help get your car to the tire store you don’t have money you have to put it on a credit card or you have to open a credit card at the tire place and and then when it’s replaced and repaired you can’t even breathe because the bill will still come later on and you’re going to have to deal with it and maybe you can’t even pay it off in one month it drags out months over months and suddenly this 100 200 dollar car repair turns into a big thing that really weighs you down so just having that small amount of money can make your life so much easier imagine your car breaks down or you know you get a flat tire like we were saying and you have a couple thousand extra dollars in the bank account or even a couple hundred extra dollars in your bank account no big deal now you know it is just so much easier you can phone somebody up phone triple-a they’ll come take care of it you go to the tire store you get a new tire you pay you pay with cash and it’s done there is no continuation of the stress it’s just fixed and you can move on with your life and I keep bringing up the car repairs because these are things that have happened to my husband nine a lot we have replaced maybe three flat tires couple dead batteries and it’s just never a big deal to us anymore we have our savings account we expect these things to happen and when they do it’s like okay we know exactly what to do and we can afford it and it just makes life so much easier so if you have a savings account you will certainly find that the number of emergencies that happen in your life will just dramatically decrease I can say this it is a hundred percent true for me personally when my husband and I first got married and moved to the US and we didn’t have a savings account at all really we were just kind of working in paying bills and we didn’t really focus on saving every time something would happen it would be a little bit dramatic and usually I would cry and we would fight and there would be some sort of argument even if it’s nothing big it’s just that tension in the house when something goes wrong and it’s going to cost money to fix it it can be very stressful when you cannot afford it and you guys know how it is a lot of times these expenses they don’t cost more than a couple hundred dollars but when you have nothing that feels like the end of the world and you know what I don’t miss that feeling I am so happy that now when things go wrong we can afford to replace them and on with our life and not let it ruin my mood my day or anything like that and honestly you guys are probably thinking well Sarah I just don’t have the extra money I can’t that kind of a luxury I promise you anybody can do this we started saving money we were on one income because my husband was not allowed to work legally because he did not have his residence permit sorted in the United States and I was working as a waitress so that was our situation and we made it out and we saved our little box up and anyone can do it you do not need a high paying job you do not need to be married and have two incomes absolutely anybody can save you just need to make it a priority and you can live a much more comfortable lifestyle I promise you and is not that hard and another reason to save obviously it is no surprise that many marriages and relationships and due to turmoil in the relationship over money problems I’m not sure about the statistic on this but I know it is the reason for most divorces or you know relationships ending is over money problems and money fights so having an emergency fund I don’t care how small it is you need a buffer in your life because it’s going to make your relationships and everything function much more smooth you will not need to argue every time something goes wrong because like I said things will go wrong Dave Ramsey likes to say it is going to rain I promise and you’re going to need an umbrella so having that savings account it’s an umbrella it’s a buffer whatever you want to call it it makes your life a lot lot easier and yeah you guys I don’t even know if I’m coming across how passionate I am about this but it is so important and I can’t emphasize enough how much your life will change when you just focus and get that savings account together because then mmm your life is just so much less stressful and you guys I don’t handle stress well I don’t like to feel like I’m under pressure or under stress so for me having that buffer in our life it alleviates like 90% of all stresses that come into our life we can just take care of them with one phone call or check or whatever needs to be done and you just get it done you also see when you start to save money it changes your mindset you can start to think more future oriented because as you see the money starting to save up you’ll say hey what can we do with this we are starting to really get good at the same thing let’s start investing let’s build a business maybe I can afford to quit my job so the more that you say the more light you will feel and the more clearer you can start to think cleaver and you’ll start to think more clearly when you’re not always focused on just how you’re going to pay the pay bills how you’re going to cover emergencies when that is taken care of your mindset will completely change and you can start to think about bigger and more important and more meaningful things than how to deal with the next fire and putting it out and just yeah because nobody wants to live from fire to fire and when you did not have a savings account it’s easy to live like that it’s easy to live from one bill to the next bill or someone emergency to the next emergency so if you take some time to save to build it up you guys it can change everything for you it can change your mindset I know certainly for us as soon as we had the money situation in control we could think about so many things that you cannot think about if you’re in the grind of paying bills and paying for emergencies and things like that so it just changes your whole mindset and you can think more future-oriented dreaming and planning and executing things to improve your future of yourself and family and hopefully for the next generations and leaving like a legacy and all that kind of amazing stuff I also feel like it’s very important that I let you guys know again if you are saving money if you are making that a priority do not let anybody around you try to convince you that you’re doing the wrong thing don’t let them tell you that you need to live in the moment you need to be enjoying your life because the reality is those short-term sacrifices it can change the course of the rest of your life like I’ve said many times for my husband and I was three years of sacrifice but now we are set up and of our life we don’t really have to worry because we’ve changed our mindset about money we’ve you know just learned so many skills while we were in that little grind period that we made it out to the other side and we never have to do that again and we never have to argue about money ever again we don’t have to stress when small things go wrong and it’s an amazing way to live so please don’t feel bad if you are saving and your friends are calling you and your friends are calling you cheap and your family is telling you that you need to enjoy your life and go spend your money because like I said for most of us the future is promise and we will get there we will grow we will turn you know we will see our next birthday and it’s important to be prepared for it and for me personally having a secure financial position with some buffer is what brings me a lot of peace in my life and allows me to be less stressed out and less anxious and I know a lot of people feel the same way so don’t let anyone make you feel bad about what you’re doing because you’re doing the right thing I promise you thank you guys so so much for watching I really hope you enjoyed this video if you did if you’re saving money if you’re changing your life give this video a thumbs up I would appreciate it so much I love you guys and I’ll see you very soon in the next video bye
