"there are certain categories of items that once you get into the groove of shopping secondhand/free, like you'll basically never need to pay for again."

"there are so many things that you can buy secondhand for your home that will basically consistently be way better quality, way more original slash beautiful/ unique, and way, way, way less expensive, if not completely free, once you start shopping secondhand."

"If you do not have a very central, easy to use place to check your money on a day-to-day basis, it is going to be very, very hard to get control over almost anything else."

"Hit it with a quick steam, a quick lint roller. You will automatically look and feel way more put together in the exact same clothes."

"Anytime you are going to want to make any change in your home... you want to measure it out and tape it out first. That will give you the closest approximation of really figuring out whether or not something works in your space."

"There is amazing data that shows that it makes us much more likely to achieve those goals when we have some level of accountability and some social aspect to them."

"So going out of your way to have at least one regular activity, one regular way to form connections with people uh that is not centered around alcohol is truly a step in the direction in the most crucial direction in my opinion to feeling like a well-rounded, happy, fulfilled adult."
