I am trying to make saving a job. However, as whatever amount of money I save, I think I am still on the way to putting myself in financial stability status.

A good post, I’m working towards changing my habits as well, to ensure I look for long term value (and spend less time – I’m not a shopping fan).

“Now I’m saving like it’s my job”. Love that sentence and I do the same. I too look back and realize how much I no longer resemble my former shopaholic self! Quality over quantity wins every time in our house.

It’s amazing how your perspective changes when you get frugal and minimalistic. I actually feel less stressed because I never shop anymore.

Way to go! I like to spend too, but more on me. I like money and consider investing as spending on me!

I can totally relate to the way you use to spend. I use to roam the malls during my lunch hours and “window shop” and buy anything that I thought was a “good deal”. In my eyes, all I saw was: 70% off! 50% off! extra 40% off sale price.

Now I shop for better quality and classic items where I can wear it many times or in different ways (transforming clothes – such as tunics can be worn as a tank or blazer that can turn into a jacket or a bag that can be both a shoulder and a cross body bag).

I’m with you 100%, my spending habits have changed drastically over the past few years. In my late teens/early twenties, I also spent loads on cheap trendy clothes and pretty much every piece has been donated by now. Total waste! I’ve always been a pretty healthy eater but back in the day I went out to the bars all.the.time and blew way too much money on drinks. I don’t do that nearly as much anymore 😀

I’ve also made a conscious effort to purchase quality items. I’d rather have a few key pieces that I wear to the ground than a closet overflowing with ill-fitting, cheap stuff. It’s funny how we all seem to grow into that mindset, eh?
