Not frugal, perhaps prudent?

Post date: 2022-06-30 07:48:00

I love spending money. This needs to stop. I am inspired by minimalism, don't have children or a car, and I rent my home, so housing expenses are relatively low. Fortunately, I have a secure-ish job, but I haven't always, and know there are no guarantees in this day and age. I want to pay off debt and start spending more responsibly. Please do not recommend Dave Ramsey.

What modern YouTube videos and podcasts inspire you to spend less? The FIRE community is way too intense. I still want to somewhat enjoy my hedonistic life. As an example, I enjoy Ramit Sehti's book and podcast.

The Minimalists have become too preachy for me. I enjoy Courtney Carver (Project 333, Soulful Simplicity)

Realistically, I will not be eating beans and rice or peanut butter sandwiches. I would appreciate any recommendations that are a bit more measured and take a balanced approach.
