Any of you follow "Prepper Princess?" Some good money saving tips. But most are small potatoes. Maybe save you $100 a year. But if you are living on$10k annually that is significant.
No idea who she is, but I'd be happy to save $100 a year that could be spent on something I want and hadn't been frittered away with nothing to show for it and no idea where it went.
If you have dozen things each year that you save $100 on, that starts turning into enough money to be useful in your retirement account. Of course, that only applies if you intend to live long enough to retire and you realize that Social Security might be some nice extra change but it isn't enough to live on.
I have watched a few of her videos. I think she is a bit "off". Searching through abandoned items in a homeless camp does not strike me as a good idea and is not what I think of as being "frugal".
Yes I subscribe to the channel. She has great ideas on where to move (30 min from a Wallmart, where min wage is high, etc) She's bought her home with inheritance and it's doubled in value since. She has almost completely eliminated her monthly bills but not in a way that is too much effort. She uses Solar power, the right lights so if you spent the night, you'd still experience modern convienences. She isn't into food so spends very little. Lives at the border of Arizona so can cross into two states quite easily.
She isn't so much into prepping as she was.
Her walking into an abandoned homeless camp keeps her interest. Anything that keeps your interest keeps you exercising, that was the point. Not what you find. Homeless people don't have much. She makes a game of it. Her money is invested so she will be just fine in retirement.
She grew up extremely poor so the way she lives now probably feels like royalty. The channel shows how spoiled we all are
My father's father died in 1929 when he was 10 years old. My grandmother saved good paper, string, everything. My dad always made sure that we had enough food in the house to last us for at least a few months. He'd been hungry more than a few times when he was young.
My mother was a teen in England during WWII. Grandfather had a good job as a tool and die maker, and grandmother was an astounding gardener. She'd grown up on a farm. She could sew a bit, but was an excellent knitter. There was a lot of bartering going on.
I don't think that Prepper Princess could tell me anything that I don't already know.

I have been watching a few of her videos lately.
