Everyone’s chasing the next flashy “get rich” trend for 2026—new side hustles, new investments, whatever. But the one thing that actually works (and nobody wants to do) is a No Buy. In this video I break down why most people aren’t “broke,” they’re just overconsuming, and how No Buy 2026 is basically the fastest way to stop bleeding money without needing a higher income. This isn’t extreme minimalism or guru nonsense—it’s just getting honest about where your cash is quietly disappearing. I go through the core rules: stop buying duplicates and “in excess,” add friction to spending (delete shopping apps, remove cards from Apple Pay, use a 24-hour rule), and replace shopping with actual hobbies so you’re not a one-dimensional consumer. I also talk about the traps: Amazon’s frictionless checkout, convenience spending like DoorDash/Uber Eats, subscriptions you forgot you had, and especially car payments—because a $500–$700 note is stealing from your future self every month. The goal isn’t punishment; it’s awareness. If you can control small habits, you can stack savings, invest, and actually build the boring kind of wealth that real millionaires have.
