āœØļøAre these products really worth your money?šŸ’ø 

It’s surprisingly easy to get caught up in the excitement of wanting the latest must-have items. I’ll be honest — in my early twenties, I made my fair share of impulse purchases, chasing after trends without much thought.

This year, I'm focusing on being more intentional with my spending — seeking out true ā€˜investment’ pieces, from clothing and everyday essentials to technology.

Here are my honest reflections on the products I believe are worth the splurge — and the ones that aren’t.

Why did no one tell me about these apps sooner?! Why did no one tell me about these apps sooner?!

If I could turn back time, these are the apps and tools I wish I had discovered earlier — they've made everyday life, productivity, trip planning, money stuff, and even reading so much easier.

3. Planning a group trip? This next app is a game-changer for coordinating and keeping everyone on track. āœˆļø

4. Jetting off soon? This money transfer app saved me more than once — best rates and so easy to use. There's a referral link in my bio for a free card or zero fees on transfers up to $1,000. šŸ’µ

🤫 what no one tells you about being in your tw 🤫 what no one tells you about being in your twenties money edition ✨

šŸ“ŒExtra tips & lessons I’ve learned along the way:

ā‘  A sinking fund is money you set aside each month for a specific expense.  I set aside a little each month for specific expenses—mine include medical bills, holidays, gifts and insurance.

ā‘”  Having a capsule wardrobe have helped me curb impulse shopping. If I feel the urge to buy something new, I add it to a wishlist and give myself time to reflect. If I still want it later, I’ll consider buying it—ideally secondhand.

ā‘¢ I personally prefer redirecting the money I might’ve spent on things like nails or facials towards bigger priorities—like my emergency fund, monthly investments, or my high-yield savings account.

ā‘£ Project panning (using up your existing skincare/haircare before buying more) has been a surprisingly effective way to reduce overconsumption.

⑤ Eating out is totally fine! I’m currently doing a low-buy year, so I allow myself to eat out once a week or for special occasions—it’s about balance, not restriction. 

ā‘„ If you’re on the hunt for secondhand gems, try Depop, Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, or local Facebook swap/sell groups. You’ll be surprised at what you can find!

→ are feeling lost in their twenties
