Do you have any savings goals you're trying to reach? What are they and what steps are you taking to reach them? ✨ P.S. Whatever they are, know I'm cheering you on! 🎉

Saying no to alcohol is such a huge tip for saving money! As someone who grew up surrounded by alcoholism, I saw the people I love spend $50-$80 a day on alcohol and I live in an area where that would be seen as normal. Hard to stray from the norm, but it is definitely necessary

I love this. I wish I saw this when I was 25. Also, a huge tip is to make sure you marry someone who has the same money mindset.

I don’t understand all the negative comments here. If you don’t find this helpful or inspiring, move on to videos about how to make a million dollars FAST! She is giving you her experience so you can be inspired and figure out how you might apply it to your life. She is putting herself out there. Nice job, Ashlynne. While you have, admittedly, had advantages others may not have had, you’ve made a lot of tough choices that others won’t make and will instead blame on this or that. I am 60 and while I did have student loans, I could have made a lot of better decisions that would have put me in a much better financial situation now. But, it’s never too late to implement a lot of your suggestions now. Great job! 🌷

I am so glad you made your channel. At your age I was in the opposite direction and had to fix, fix and fix in my late twenties. A lot of people do not see the value in setting up your future. I see it as being a manager of the life God has blessed us with. I always believed it in faith but it takes a whole new meaning when you go from poverty and needing provision. Then to having your heart give to others so they won’t need. This is the first video I have ever seen on your channel and had to say, I am happy for two! 👍🏻😊

What a such helpful and necessary video, Ashlynne! Thanks for always giving such incredible tips! ❤️

By the time I was 25 I was a registered nurse, was married and had two small children. My life was going ok until I had a catastrophic accident when I was 38 and then I lost everything, job, savings and house - unfortunately somethings in life cannot be prepared for no matter how you save. It's good to save but live your life as well.

Focusing on the big 3 expenses such as housing, transportation and food in our survival/optional categories first was key to our success as well! Great insight and advice Ashlynne!

Really appreciate your honesty and openness in this video! This is impressive and inspiring with some good advice 👍

Thanks beautiful Ashlynne🌸 what a fantastic video. You're very clever and I hope that you save even more money. Well wishes and best of luck 💕😘

you're such an inspiration ashlynne <33

My husband and I are hoping to pay off our mortgage early. These are spot-on tips for today's time that you listed! I find that over time, exercising the counter-culture muscle gets stronger.

I work as an illustrator and I'm specializing in art within the local car community. I find that my car is a huge staple for my business, and after crashing my old one, insurance made it possible for me to have my car completely paid off. I was previously stuck in a horrible car loan, so I think the biggest lesson I learned was never to finance a car. It seriously impacted my ability to rent an apartment, thankfully once I got out of the loan, life got so much easier in that regard. One thing I wanted to mention was that since cars are my passion (and an expensive hobby), I've been thinking for months on modifying my car. The modifications I want are around $7k+... This video really helped me reconsider, haha. I already do have my dream car... I don't think it'll benefit my business the amount of money it'll cost to grasp the attention to it with the car... Hm. My income isn't too great, but between me and my boyfriend, we definitely could use to work as a team more. I know he's going to keep modifying his car, and refinance his car loan too. I just wanted to say this really helped inspire me to maybe make savings more of a priority with my boyfriend, so we can work as a team to kinda meet in the middle. Maybe cut our car modifications down by half or something, idk. Thanks anyway, sorry this is so scattered <3

I am 26 and just started my career. You inspired me to save from the first paycheck itself. Love these money-related videos. Keep them coming. ❤

My favorite kind of videos on your channel!! ❤️❤️❤️

Living minimally since 2018 has helped me a lot to save. It became a habit to me to say no to things i don't need even if I can afford. Until now at 28, I don't use things to impress people.

That's exactly how it works! I was married and we had two full incomes. But we made debts instead of savings. After I got divorced and unfortunately became disabled, I really had to overthink my financial situation, because I owned two cats and five birds which had to be fed, too. And you know what? I developed the same techniques you did ( adapted to my personal needs) and now my depts are all payed off and I start building up savings, although I can't work full time anymore and I only have this small income plus some social money (I live in Germany, different social system than USA). My new minimalistic live is so much better than the life I had before. I never thought that! I love my tiny little apartment, a capsule wardrobe is sooo uncomplicated, simple, fresh, selfmade meals are so delicious and healthy and going by bus and train has many more advantages, than I thought!

Can't believe you are not 25 yet. Amazing job you guys done at this age!

I love watching my savings go up! I don't have any debt, either.

Watching this and being lower-middle-class lowkey makes me kinda sad lol. We don’t even make 40,000 in a year and we’re lucky if we can even save 100-200 a month. Who knows, maybe we’ll “get there” one day but even being debt free isn’t always possible when, say, you need a car now but would have to save a year or more in order to even get even just a beater car.
