In a TikTok post, the lady said that out of the £21,000 she earns, she is able to save £10,000.
According to her, it took her 12 months to save £10,000 after she removed some things from her budget.
She said she stopped buying hot coffee and chocolate, which cost her over £10 a week.
She also stopped buying takeout food and cut down on impulse buying on e-commerce websites.
The lady also said she stopped wearing expensive clothes and had to wait patiently until she had money for such clothes.
Kelechi said she also dropped some streaming platforms instead of paying for four at the same time.
She said:
“Do I really need 4 streaming platforms? No. Now I rotate free trials like a pro. I stopped shopping for the person I might become. Future me can wait as present me is broke. I finish what I have before buying anything new. No more 7 half-used lotions judging me from my shelf.”
