1. Keep more than £2,500 in a regular savings account. I’d much rather invest. 2. Spend more than 50% of my income on rent & bills. Anything more than this will shrink your lifestyle money. 3. Alcohol. I hate drinking, it makes me feel crap and it’s a waste of money, so I’m good. 4. Buy cheap fast fashion. I’d rather pay more for better quality. 5. A car. I hate the unpredictable cost of maintenance, I would much rather use public transport. 6. Makeup. Old me used to spend so much on this; now I use a product until it’s empty, I don’t overconsume here. 7. Gimmicky skincare. I buy the low-maintenance products I need and that’s that. 8. Hair. I no longer get my hair coloured, and my friend’s mum cuts my hair for free. #PersonalFinance #investing #moneysavingtips
