In the words of Chris Brown, “I don’t see how you can hate from the other side of the club, you can’t even get in.”
Now let’s get you in!
The champagne lifestyle is one that’s been built on a foundation of exclusivity. As we all know, it can be difficult to live the good life on a budget. But if you’re willing to do some serious research and planning, there are ways to make your budget feel luxurious while still keeping your bank account in check. Here are some tips!
Rule #1: Just because everyone else has it, doesn’t mean you need it.
If there’s something that someone tells you is a must-have in your life (like a certain type of bag or a certain brand of clothing), don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd and do things differently. There are several locations where you can thrift for less than half the price of fast fashion brands. Get out of your comfort zone and do some research on where you can find hidden gems. Clothes don’t define a person, style does. Don’t feel like you have to buy the same things others have. Do your own thing and be a trendsetter. So instead of jumping into the market with both feet and making sure every single item you own is identical to that of your friends, try being creative with what’s available locally instead. You might find something better than what was originally planned!
Rule #2: Save your money to buy the things that mean something to you.
Once you have the money to buy something, then it’s time to start saving. There are still ways to enjoy all the luxuries of life without breaking the bank.
The best thing about champagne is that it can be enjoyed by bottle, or glass.
You don’t always have to get everything at full price the moment its available. Instead of buying that iPhone 14, why not buy something more affordable and wait a few months for the prices to go down. Instead of a shopping spree each, why not buy 2 statement items for each month. This teaches self-control and also helps you budget better for things you really need. Save up for a rainy day. If you’re ever in need of an emergency fund or unexpected expense and don’t have any savings set aside yet, saving money is one of the easiest ways to get back on track quickly!
Rule #3: Buy life experiences instead of things.
Plan a trip or vacation. This could mean taking your family out somewhere fun—or just getting away from everything else in life! It’s important not only because it’ll give them something exciting and memorable, but also because they’ll appreciate how much effort went into making those memories happen. Buy life experiences instead of things. Experiences are more memorable than things, and they can be shared with people you love.
So, yes, champagne lifestyle on a juice budget can be done. It might not be easy, but it is possible. When you start making small changes like buying life experiences instead of things or saving up for the things that really matter to you, your champagne lifestyle is well on its way to becoming reality!
