Popular finance influencer Abbi shares her plan to combat overspending in the new year. She recommends creating a 'no spend items' list, focusing on essentials and utilizing what is already owned.
With the festive season's expenses still lingering, many are feeling the financial squeeze - and a thorough declutter could be just the remedy to avoid unnecessary spending this year. Personal finance guru Abbi has come up with a strategy for 2025, creating a 'no spend items' list, vowing to only purchase essentials. She recommends everyone to do a major clear-out to take stock of what they already own before hitting the shops again.
Sharing her insights on Instagram via her handle @abbitalksmoney, Abbi revealed: 'I've never done a list of no spend items before but my house is feeling so cluttered so I thought this would be exactly what I need for 2025. 'It's the perfect reminder to stop spending on things I don't need, and as you can see I definitely don't need anymore until I've used up what I already have.' She discovered an abundance of half-used candles at home and has decided not to buy any more. Additionally, she suggests saving money by not buying birthday cards, except for close family members, and instead opting for digital messages to friends. The financial advisor has declared she's got an abundance of pens and won't be purchasing any more if they run out, as she can simply type up any necessary information on her computer. In the realm of beauty, the content creator has vowed to resist the allure of new product trends this year, aiming to use up at least half of her ample toiletry collection before buying more. She also highlighted her extensive wardrobe, which includes 11 jumpers that often go unworn, expressing her intention to wear what she already owns rather than acquiring new pieces. 'Plants - just need to keep current ones alive,' Abbi further noted. Instagram The comments section quickly filled with others sharing their own spending cuts for the year in an effort to save money. One person admitted: 'Books... it's going to be really hard. I got back into reading in a big way in 2024'
