"Dopamine Nation" was the book that opened my mind to this topic What a book (of any genre) that has opened your mind and given you a different point of view on any topic??? (I'm looking for good reads)

Austin, I'm a 23 year old man, I have no credit card, no debt but I always spend all my savings and spend all the money I have in the span of two weeks I know a lot about financial literacy but can't put that in practice

My problem is not having mindfulness and thinking I don't have enough now I'm going to change my mindset and work towards happiness
Comment from : @asran6941

Sorry I don't really like the way you talk Can you just talk normally and not over exaggerate your expressions and words? It feels like you're treating us like children I just want a normal lesson

I learned how to make my addiction work for me I can't wait to get up on payday and see how much money I can put in my savings account I am addicted to doing this It's like Christmas every week to my brain
Comment from : @SYoung-sd4ub

The reason Warren Buffett has a lot of money is because he isn't stimulated by the crowd He lives in solitude so no distractions He has even said that he works in Nebraska because he likes the lack of stimulation to focus on building wealth Its quiet and he can focus on the intellectual process People always assume its for tax reasons It is but not really Lack of stimulation allows you to focus on the facts and distractions
Comment from : @wadeharris348

Managing the feel good emotions of wanting to spend with working out instead has made me build wealth Not to mention having a brokerage account that automatically withdraws and puts it into set it and forget it really helps That keeps you disciplined Any time I feel like spending I just sit and think about do I want this or do I want a boatload of money to quit my job and stop working and live on my own terms? Guess which one I pick lol
Comment from : @wadeharris348

Spend money and time making happy memories, not buying stuff
Comment from : @Savvynomad225

I love Amazon
Comment from : @meropale

I grew up poor , this followed me into adulthood (not that I didn’t have money , but more that i felt i needed to “offload” my money before it got taken away) i have since changed my Habits and have started investing instead of spending and can honestly say i am loving my new investing addiction i am saving rather than spending and am getting the same pleasure from seeing my savings as i did from pointless purchases

Can you say "SELF CONTROL"??? Stop listening to those brainwashing ads and think for yourself!
Comment from : @johncipolletti5611

The Christmas lights are up in the local shopping precinct, Christmas ads on the TV, by the time Christmas is here I'm so sick of having it shoved down my throat, Christmas shouldn't start so early!!

You're a funny guy, telling us "How to stop spending money on unnecessary things" And we can learn how to do that by spending money on your bookbrbrFolks who need your book to learn how to manage their money will waste their money If they buy your book, that doesn't mean they will stop the spendingbrbrI remember back in the 1970's of someone who had a whole wall of books on one side of his room after many years of buying "self-help" books He finally gave up buying new books that promised change None of the books workedbrbrFolks, buying this book won't help you control your spending It just another book to add to your collection Want advice that won't cost you a penny and really works?brbrAll the advice you really need is found in Budda's last words, and they arebrbr"Be lamps into yourselvesbrRely on yourselves alonebrand don't seek reliance on external supportbrHold fast to the truth as a lampbrand seek salvation in the truth alonebrDo not look for assistance from anyone other than yourselves"brbrAll this means is meditation is way to learn what you want or need to know Believe me, it works like a charmbrbrThe key to finding a way to stop overspending, if you really want to, is meditate on the issue by asking yourself just before meditation out loud to your spirit guides "help me my spirit guides to understand why I spend money on things that don't help me"brbrDo this every day The answer will come to you when you least expect it A thought will come into your mind that prompts you to say to yourself out loud "I never thought of it that way"brbrFolks, be well be wise be informed
Comment from : @fritzsmith3296

Agustin, I live in England and I've never heard of a teeter totter or whatever you said! I call it a see-saw lol
Comment from : @TimelordUK

With Christmas approaching, we need to remember that Holidays attached to spending have been created by marketing companies Every single holiday now has a foundation of buying stuff Now "Black Friday" is insanity Agree to not spend on stuff and to spend time with each other

Another fantastic informative video Austin, keep em coming mate! 😎👍
Comment from : @leeallsopp5152

Another El Augustine video!brbrBuddhist Monks and Nuns are such an antithesis and antidote to today's manufactured falsehood; monks and nuns fine peace and content with basic food, shelter, robes, chants, meditation and basic temple choresbrbrSo the question is:brWhat is it they know that we don't know?brbror is it-brbrWhat is it they DONT KNOW that we know?

Comment from : @Jenniferhneway0

Some excellent tips, thank you Browsing Etsy for me has become an addiction, one I want to stop By the way, we call seesaws seesaws in England, I thought teeter totter was American xx
Comment from : @heatherlou-v9c

This completely resonates with me and is basically the reason I'm watching your channel!
Comment from : @SirenaSpades

I use to be soo addicted to shopping I remember saying to myself while in a store,"I must buy something before i get out" also to impress people i didn't like Im so glad i got out of that rabbit hole!
Comment from : @VoniDiaa

Apart from the prehistoric man… everything makes sense Thanks 😊
Comment from : @VitalBigras

Thanks for this video, you have covered this topic in a way that I haven't encountered before and which is very interesting and helpful I saw that you put out a survey about why we like your videos I like the style of your presentations (short, sharp and creative), your voice & personality, humour, sincerity, and the topics and ideas you cover Your graphics make everything clearer I hope you can keep bringing out this sort of content for us, thanks

Curtail temptation such as social media, ads, tv, show off people, rich people, etc
Comment from : @noseefood1943

Frugal Hedonism is a book that joyfully reinforced my frugality It has a lot of short chapters that talk about using creativity instead of money to create a rich life The authors are Australian and their writing is funny and clever, encouraging us to think outside the consumer mindset Can't recommend it enough Another great video! ❤

This video was on point Great info and yes starving out the want helps for sure
Comment from : @scnason1300

Yes, I know that this is true Just today I was looking at one if the shopping channels I had my phone in hand, I was in the process of ordering an item I paused and said to myself, "ya know you are getting played" I stopped immediately and was in awe as to how close I came to being "played" Think ya'll thinkfor yourself!
Comment from : @kathleenepugh9495

This is wild! I have doing in-depth self-research on dopamine vs neuroadaption gremlins (pleasure vs pain) To date, I have a theory that real joy comes from the mundane (when the seesaw is in balance) I also believe that people these days are scared of joy because they are afraid it will be boring Thank you for this It is sooooo important!
Comment from : @Revert2017

😮love your video!!!! I’m a liquidator of estates Your excellent frugal ideas are spot on!!!! 😊

What do they call a see saw in England????
Comment from : @workinprogresssince1974

Everything is turned into an addiction because retailers need profit profit profit at consumer expense because they just don't care
Comment from : @workinprogresssince1974

helping my son with his ADHD Tax! i only buy essentials and wait for holiday sales for new sweaters, clothes, shoes if needed my extra money goes strictly into retirement accounts
Comment from : @autobotdiva9268

lol nothing worse than telling people their behavior is not their fault my spendthrift buddy years ago told me it wasn't his fault society made him the consumer he is we are the exact same age i spend less than $500 a month outside of rent and utilities about $100 on gas, $50 on medical insurance, $25 on a gym membership and the rest on food and entertianment
Comment from : @JimHarris-g7p

Thank you, Austin!

I'm just trying to spend money on things that will benefit me the most I just spent 3500 on a dehydrator so I can dry my own herbs and vegetables
Comment from : @judyduncan1852

I know someone suggested it before but would it be possible to maybe a video on how you personally grocery shop? I know myself and definitely others get caught in the grocery store tactics that cause excessive spending and falling into the trap of getting items we weren’t originally planning to get
Comment from : @RoxUnlimited

05:17 As we say in Englanda what!? lol
Comment from : @cardermedia

Great video!! I will be unsubscribing from all shopping emails and staying off-line until after the holidays I’ll be spending time outside doing things I love to avoid over spending Thank you for what you do

Comment from : @burpeesquad

Love your videos thanks for sharing I think many pple have a twisted definiton of abundance, not focusing enough on spiritual one We are becoming so lazy and entitled Can you please do a video about ethical investments or purchases? That would be cool

What's really important to me is that my home every room is functional that I don't have unnecessary I'm happy with the balance that I have in my life now I'm an artist and I like my artist supplies some of the things the average Joe would think our trash but I have my home neat organizing every room is functional I think that's the key

I've just purchased a new iphone and watch but after this I wil not buy anything for a year 😅
Comment from : @cathychats

I must admit that I still find things to buy My dog bites herself so I ordered something that hopefully will stop that I also ordered her fish food because I hate going places And something to make my skin look better And on and on it goesI still haven't found a bargain on a turkey for Thanksgiving I may have to buy the Aldi's special turkey
Comment from : @danicegewiss862

I'm preparing for 2024 low buy year About 4 years ago, I noticed that my problem was overconsumption, and now I am gradually working on it I don't plan to "have fun" on Black Friday and Cyber Monday at the end of 2023 like I did in the past Thank you for your videos!
Comment from : @IrinaVanRonkel

My biggest spending problem is caused by the ridiculous commercialization of holidays I'm expected to go out and blow a bunch of money on gifts for the people I love And since I don't need anything from anyone, whatever gifts I receive in return are virtually useless So both parties end up wasting money trying to do what's socially acceptable As a kid I loved holidays As an adult, I dread almost all of them
Comment from : @highlyillogical9399

Wow Agustin, your advice just gets better and better You must study ALL the time This one got me for sure
Comment from : @GrannyLinn

OH MY GOSH!! This video is for me!! Thank you! I haven't used the credit card in three weeks I haven't stopped shopping but I'm paying with cash now Baby steps Thanks for these tips
Comment from : @juliem3936

Right now I’m getting pleasure from not spending! From saving! Getting a good amount from a high yield savings account

I realized how much consumerism doesn’t matter once I got sick “A healthy person has a million wishes a sick person only has one”
