I feel like other luxury uk KZitemrs are so unrealistic. We’re not all born into rich families or have rich husbands some of us have full time 8-6 jobs that we break our backs to be able to afford luxury items. You’re so much more real and relatable starting as a cleaner, you talk about debt and aren’t embarrassed to say you’ve been in it. I have so much respect for you. Your channel will always be so much more special to me because you’re just a normal hardworking empowering woman! Love you for that 💕

If it will take you two years to save up for a Chanel bag, perhaps that price range isn’t feasible for you at the moment. What you can do is: 1. Work hard for a lifestyle that is sustainable for your expenditures 2. Stay in the price range that you’re currently comfortable in until you’ve climbed up the income ladder. I don’t mean to be discriminating, but fashion unfortunately is not as accessible as social media makes it out to be. Luxury at the end of the day should be the last thing you put your money into. Lovely video, Sophie!

I hired her just once a week to do the major things. I found myself cleaning before she'd come over ( didn't want her thinking we were slobs!) Lol.....after only a month I told her we didn't need her anymore. I can't remember my excuse. I also didn't feel she cleaned the house how I wanted it, plus with her as our neighbor I was afraid of being judged by what we had or didn't have. Silly Right?? Lol

I sold two bags and saved up a bit more to buy my Chanel jumbo ( last Wednesday) and I regret not purchasing the Chanel any sooner. Instead I bought a Chanel mini one and a half years ago which I wasn’t using, as I use bigger bags way more often, and something else that I regret purchasing. This was actually the only two times I regretted something. I always really plan my purchases well and I never buy trendy bags. I just prefer the more timeless pieces. And when I bought the Chanel mini I didn’t realize I wasn’t going to use it a lot. But I wasn’t going out a lot anymore and it was lambskin so I was afraid to use it. So you really need a little checklist for yourself when you’re considering saving up for a bag and don’t get distracted. I think it’s so much fun to save up for a luxury purchase and see the amount grow. Xoxo

We were lucky to get double holiday pay and profit sharing from the company we worked for. Also we always payed our credit card off each month, and didn't get loans for anything. You're doing well so far! Good luck for the future! Xx

Investment wasn't part of this video. What the OP (and I) are talking about is dollar cost averaging into a 401K or other retirement fund, making even small individual stock purchase typically into an indexed mutual fund, purchasing real estate, or investing money into a business. Dollar cost averaging is simply investing the same amount routinely knowing that some stock purchases will be more $ and some will be less $, but over time it will average out. This is the opposite of day trading where you are chasing the best price--not a game for amateurs. Growing wealth is not a big mystery. It's about investing small amounts over a long period of time. When I started investing into an index fund (after I had maxed out my 401K option) it was with $25.00 a week that I pulled together by saying "no" to all kinds of easy to blow money on stuff. That was about 20 years ago and my shares in the fund are now worth 600X what I paid for them. The first place to start is with your 401K especially if you have a decent match from you employer. After that, even $50.00 a month ($600.00 per year) invested into a no-load mutual fund will surprise you in ten years at how much it is worth. If you want to save for a house rather than retirement, consider a Roth option where the money is after tax so when you cash out that fund to cover your downpayment the only tax burden is on the income rather than the principal. Did this help?

Sophie, you are a lovely person. But if people cannot afford to buy such a bag from a regular income and have really to save for the purchase, it is the worst piece of advice to suggest to save for luxury consumption, which is out of one's income range. Savings should be dedicated for development and future, like education/ self-development /repaying the debt/. Saving for a designer bag is consumption and would not bring one further.

In less than a year, I saved enough to buy for 8 SLG, 1 keychain, 1 bandeau and 1 clapton backpack from Louis Vuitton. Now, I'm saving for another purchase like silk scarf, sandals and sunglasses from Louis Vuitton again 😊 savings are fun! and worth waiting for. 👍

another thing i’ve figured out: it’s actually cheaper to fly to europe from the US (and i’m guessing most east asian countries) - london, paris, etc in the off-seasons (this is typically fall or september-november) for a night, and do all of your shopping in one go then it is to buy each item in the states or East Asia at normal price. the tax/duties charged on luxury is INSANE. however, i will say that this really only makes sense if you plan on buying a large quantity of items at once, for example, i save my wardrobe/luxury budget for pretty much an entire year before I do this, and does take quite a bit of self-control.

At the end of the month I am left with a nice and big amount of money, but I am not planning of spending it. Last week for the first time I bought Moschino shoes (I'm not really a fan of fancy labels, but they were nice and on sale) and while I felt really bad about it, I told myself that every month I can spend at least 100€ on myself (even though I am left with much more than that at the end of the month). I agree that it is better to put the money you are left with, aside, than spend it all. I'd rather save for a nice trip next year, than to spend all my money I earn immediately. I also know I won't be buying luxury items, but who knows what can catch my eye. You give good advice Sophie, I really like your videos even though I never cared about luxury items (not my thing) but it's fun to watch and be informed about them! :)

I just bought my first luxury with my own money. It feels so satisfying after hard works. It makes sense why people would do it. For now, I'm saving up ;)

It's all about priority what you want in life...I bought my big purchases which is my house first then a couple of vehicles . Now it's more of vacations. I am into fashion but I'm more of the affordable quality :)..my luxury items that I have are mostly gifted which I feel lucky to have from generous friends ;)

Hey Sophie, I just found your channel and this video specifically. I really like your authenticity and compassion. It's really easy to see how you feel for anyone who can't afford even a holiday and give such practical down to earth tips on how to get there. I appreciate that and I am picking some stuff right after this comment that I'm going to sell. That said, I also appreciate you don't talk down on anyone not being there yet. Really enjoyable and inspiring for me. Will now check out other videos of yours. Taa and see ya later! Anna

Thanks for the video. I'm a fan of buying the right colours and of buying quality that will last and of looking after my things as best as I can. With fewer colours the garments co-ordinate better and neutrals are the easiest although I love bright colours the most.

Very great tips! I totally agree with the one who says about changing the job if you feel stuck in there with not get away. Did that several times and I’m really happy with the position I’m in now. Secondary with your advise about eBay I sold my first item there within 2 weeks. The story is that i had my first Chanel sneakers which I loved but they were too small for me after giving birth. I wanted to keep them forever since it’s my first Chanel purchase, but I did math and sold them on EBay! Definetely going to do that with other items!

Great video Sophie. I think we’ve all looked at you tubers and thought how can you afford this lifestyle, and either they have a great job and are able to to fund their lifestyle or they are using credit cards to fund their luxury habit. I’m a single person and my ‘treat money’ every month is £150.00. It took me about 2 years to save for my first handbag a Pochette Metis which I love and then my next designer handbag was a balenciaga which I bought for £500 on Depop. Even if you are on a smaller salary it is doable to by luxury but like you say you have to be focused and strict with yourself x.

Hi Sophie, nice video as always. I’d echo the other comments here in that you are sincere and down to earth with your advice. The main thing I would like to say is for everyone to live within their means. Paying off debt should be the number one priority because it is a viscous cycle of interest accruing and the debt getting larger. I’m also weighs you down with the stress of the debt burden. Education is also key. Try to get the best education you can and therefore a good job which makes you happy. Everything else after that is just a bonus. Also each to their own, how people choose to spend their money is their choice of course. I wonder if anyone else actually loves saving, because I know I do! It gives me a sense of achievement and that I can have some security not only to achieve my goals but also if the unexpected happens.

Sophie, thank you for the solid, consistent, realistic, and real-world advice on how to "save" and purchase luxury goods! Some channels flaunt high end expensive personal goods leaving their subscribers ogling and salivating, living in a "dream" world, and trying to "keep up with the Joneses" as they amass large credit card bills! Thank you for caring enough about us to not leave us "caught up in debt" while providing us with realistic options to buy luxury goods at the "right time" in our lives. IHL,

if you're a marketing person do AVON in uk on the side or Acti- Labs . I was not good at marketing so i did not do it . With ebay Sophie is bang on correct. My work mate buys stuff that can be sold from charity shops then sells them on ebay . But she did that alot and saved up 700 pound doing that xx

Right!I'm savings for a Chanel bag for my birthday in may so everyone week I put a certain amount in my saving I divided a weekly amount I need to put up and it's easier I don't want to use credit card at all. I went up on 15% In my astrology business. And donate things or sell things I dont fit. And i refuse to buy things i do not need.

Spend 5% of what you make to buy luxury items. If u can’t do that well its all up to u. Anyone can do this if they put in the work..some just don’t truly want to they only dream to or wish to.

I save but , I save for last seasons stuff or preloved , for me I’m still getting a really nice bag at a price tag that’s doable for me , I think sometimes it’s just the colour of the bag or a different size in the new seasons range . A classic bag shape in black never goes out of fashion so I don’t care if it was on display in a nice boutique 18 months ago , while I’m on a roll here I graduated in the world of luxe bags , my first bag was a Dune classic flap shape in beige I still have it , still use it , people still pass comment on it , and I love the bag , back in the day when I bought it I paid £175.00 and for me that was expensive 😀, start small , buy clever , classic shapes and your on your way xx❤️🌹
