Mia McGrath, a 24-year-old Londoner, has shocked the world with her brutally honest money-saving tips. While most of us drown in debt buying expensive phone cases and trendy bags, Mia has managed to save over 100,000 euros! How? She revealed five popular habits that keep us all stuck in financial quicksand.
First, Mia says trying to be “cool” or “aesthetic” is just throwing money away. Buying new clothes or the latest phone case only empties your wallet. She admits she used to waste money on nonsense until she realized she was working for others, not herself.
The second mistake is blindly following trends. Do you really need the latest “trendy” bag or expensive clothes? Mia says no! Instead, she advises being honest with yourself before buying anything. She even suggests waiting 30 days before purchasing, as you’ll probably realize you don’t want that item anymore.
The third mistake is not saving because people think it’s pointless. Mia insists it doesn’t matter how little you put aside, what matters is starting. She began with small amounts even while relying on a student stipend.
The fourth tip is to start a side hustle. Mia worked extra jobs while holding a full-time office job because she believes “I don’t have time” is just an excuse, not a real reason.
Finally, Mia warns not to expect a rich man to save you. The so-called “soft life”—living on your own terms without a full-time job—isn’t real without your own money. First, get your finances in order, then enjoy life.
Her message is clear: discipline, patience, and honesty with yourself are the keys to success. Her video sparked a flood of positive comments because Mia didn’t tell a single lie. If you want to change your financial life, maybe it’s time to listen to Mia and stop wasting money on nonsense.
So, what do you think? Ready to ditch your “cool” habits and start saving? Or will you keep chasing trends and emptying your wallet? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s really ready for change!
