how i save more money

I stopped caring about a lot of things and saved so much money by doing that. My name is Shelby, I'm 24 and I'm trying to save 200k, documenting my life getting there. And one of the biggest money saving secrets is just to stop caring about things that don't matter. Corporations spend so much money to make you feel like the trendy version of whatever the $30 water bottle, another water bottle, the organizational accessory that are just bins with labels on them. Valentine's Day, Easter basket filler, the $30 sunscreen, the $30 lip gloss, the $30 face mist. I could go on. None of it is actually product. It's about making you feel like the regular version of what you have isn't good enough. Like you need the aesthetic version to be the kind of person who has it together. You don't, I promise. You know what? A heart shape pancake on Valentine's Day hits just as hard as a $30 decoration from Target. The bliss of not caring. You keep your money. You opt out of this endless cycle and nothing about your life actually gets worse. It's about making you feel like the regular version isn't good enough.
