Leading up to the new year, Mia shared in a video that she earned around £2,000 a month and acknowledged that she could “pay for everything I need quite comfortably,” but that it was the additional expenses that were her problem.
Now, with the big bucks in her bank, the creator shared some extra ‘tips’ for others looking to do a “no buy year.” She shared that you need to “make your bank account your best friend,” as opposed to your worst enemy.

She explained that she had not been tempted to buy new makeup last year, but that this also included the likes of new skincare, haircare, and cleaning products.
