I am currently saving up to buy a house and move out from my parents house! Any tips on saving? I am currently actually doing pretty good, but any tips / ideas would be greatly appreciated :)

Just get extremely thrifty! Avoid any unnecessary expenses, which means no impulse buying and avoiding little luxuries. If you start enjoying how much you're saving it becomes easier to avoid the dopamine hit some of us get by spending money.

Yess I’ve had exactly that! Enjoying the feeling of saving so wanting to do more and more every month!

Don't buy anything unless you need to and when you need to, check out thrift stores, Poshmark, and eBay first. Set a budget and if you have the energy and time to earn a little extra with a side hustle, do it.

I already have a few side hustles! Oh absolutely, I love charity shops and in England we have an app called Vinted which is great for secondhand clothes

Cook at home, bring your lunch to work as often as possible as well as your tea/coffee in a travel mug. It’s amazing how much less I spend every day than my coworkers who purchase breakfast, lunch, and coffee daily

Great advice, I work from home most days so I do usually eat at home, but when I do work in the office I usually buy food so that’s a great idea!
