Can’t stick to a budget? Try these tweaks instead | Your Money and Your Mind
Budgeting is the best way to get your spending under control, right? Behavioral scientist Wendy De La Rosa says there are actually better ways to limit your purchases — and get more satisfaction from them. Managing your money can feel scary and complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. In this TED series, behavioral scientist…

this video is another punch in the face to the already suffering restaurant/bar sector (because of covid) as well as to those cycling through red lights to get your food delivered warm (btw being in the precariat)

I don’t need more rules. I need more money. But this is good advice.

I love her approach, she gives alternatives and solutions instead of just pointing out problems. Thank you so much for the video.

Hi. Sorry for this but… Do you have an extra $1? Badly need help. Savin’ to get my laptop fixed or get a new one. Will use it for working. Swear to GOD, I’m not a bad person. Just desperate. Lost a lot since the pandemic. 😢

Although people might not be able to eat inside restaurants in the same way, even in most big cities throughout 2020 there was indoors dining available. When it wasn’t people were encouraged to support the local economy and restaurants (and all their workers) by ordering take out. In this context, many people have actually increased their spending in this category of the budget. And regardless of that, budgeting is more critical when you are in a place of limited financial means (maybe after a job loss or in the face of an emergency, so almost all of the last 12 months), so this topic is quite timely.

“Hey Bill, Josh and I are going out for beers after work, you want to come?”
“No thanks, I’m saving money. You guys want to go in on a picnic or yoga instead?”

Where are people even going out for beers these days? Maybe New Zealand? Bars here (California) have not been open for 11 months.

Let’s say you work £7 an hour and you want someone to clean your house and it costs £28 that’s 4 hours of your money when you could clean your house yourself in at least 1 hour. Think of money in hours people, not numbers.

Just use the apps to order pickup. Don’t have to pay delivery fee + tip and risk someone fucking up your order or being late.

With all due respect – during pandemic recommend not to eat out… Sounds like low-hanging fruit to me 🙂

Was this made before the pandemic? Eating out is not a social activity now. I haven’t eaten outside my house in a year. I have only gotten take-out from restaurants 3 times in the past 11 months and I ate it at home alone.

Ordering my groceries from Walmart and picking them up has been an absolute game changer. I am able to stick to $100/week budget because all those temptations you normally get walking through the store aren’t there. Not only is it saving me lots of money but it’s keeping my family healthy.

I agree but then sometimes I add more to get to the minimum or free shipping. 😬

My sister and I limit our happy money to $300 per month per person. Grocery and dining out for both of us is $300. To help us keep track we spend happy money on our individual credit cards and a grocery/dining out credit card. It helps.

Go to a work out class….does she know how expensive work out classes are to drop in? Easily twice the cost of eating out.

She talks about saving money, but her body says this is ridiculous. She clearly is on the upper end of a class and is flush with money.
