It's so bad here in America. People literally pester you to go out and spend. I hate it
hey humphrey the sats and info's you provided today was very useful especially for youths. saving rate of 45.9% is a big success as a nation it tells how diciplined chinese people are. when it comes to us almost everyone spends their money literally on everything. the reason chinese people save money is very interesting, i mean there are a lot who doesn't even know the meaning of money they spend on anything they see valuecom and that's devastating for there future. Even tho the tradition and thinking of society is different it's obvious that saving money is a crucial thing in out life.
Wow, that's a huge difference in savings!
I never knew saving could be so strategic!
Get it? Cuz the dudes chinese
Any system that looks down on girl children is not an example. I don't like Chinese culture because women are treated as inferior
2:08 in my experience, "saving" gift money just means letting the parents keep it, and they will invariably spend it on something.
I have been to Beijing for a Vacation and i loved it so much. I stayed in a HanTing Express Hotel near Chau Yong bridge near the 4th Ring Road. I am learning Chinese now. i like your Videos Humphrey,
One culture feels shame for losing money on useless things…
Another feels shame for NOT looking rich enough.
That mindset difference alone changes entire generations.
Humphrey, this video inspired me to save over 50% of my income over the past couple years and put it into the market, which has changed my financial position past the point of anything i thought possible within a couple years. thank you.
I’ve actually been trying to get better at managing my spending lately, especially with how expensive everyday shopping has become. One thing that helped me a lot was slowing down before buying things online and checking whether there are better deals available first. I used to buy stuff immediately when I saw a sale banner, but most of the time I later realized I could have saved more if I compared prices properly.
Recently I started checking sites like Valuecom before placing orders, mostly for electronics and household items, and I’ve found a few useful discounts that saved me some money over time. Nothing life-changing, but small savings really add up when you shop regularly. I also stopped impulse buying and now I keep a simple monthly budget for non-essential purchases. It’s made a surprisingly big difference for me.
Savings is a hoax, it will never make you rich. Hence why wealthy people store money instead of saving it
I’ve been trying to learn more about how people are dealing with inflation right now, and I randomly came across “Michael Thompson Inflation Survival Strategies”. Some of the stuff mentioned there was pretty interesting.
I’ve learned that one of the best ways to save money while shopping online is to avoid buying things immediately, even when the deal looks good. I usually wait a bit, compare prices on a few websites, and check if there are any coupon codes available first. A lot of stores quietly offer discounts that many people miss because they rush to checkout too fast.
Honestly i also love the chinese rates.Lately I’ve been checking PromoPro UK before placing orders, especially for fashion and tech items, and I’ve actually found some decent discounts there. Another trick that works for me is shopping during midweek sales because prices sometimes drop randomly compared to weekends. I also keep a small monthly shopping budget now, which helps me avoid unnecessary spending. Saving money honestly becomes easier once you build small habits like these instead of trying to make huge changes all at once.
very informative video
10:1 RULE IS INSANELY GREAT IDEA
This made me realize I don’t actually have a clear system, just random decisions.
Throughout this year, I have attempted to limit my expenses by various means. The most effective method in this case is making careful purchases. First of all, I make sure to compare prices between at least two or three different stores. Moreover, I do not pay until I find a discount code to apply to the checkout page. This is quite an insignificant step that is usually overlooked by many, but it makes a considerable difference over time. Apart from that, whenever possible, I try to use a combination of store discounts, cashback, and coupon codes. There is an interesting tip that has proved its efficiency in this regard. Namely, it is worth checking Valuecom prior to any order since I could find rather attractive promo offers, which resulted in additional savings compared to those initially estimated.

How do they save so much?
Time is money Jose Mujica explains it, the ex president of Uruguay 🇺🇾 You can waste money on a new Mercedes which can mean 2-4 years of your life working
Saving money becomes easier when combine small daily habits, smarter spending, and a simple system. Here are practical ways i can share :
a. Use the 50/30/20 Rule. A simple budgeting method: 50% – Needs (rent, food, bills, transport) , 30% – Wants (shopping, entertainment). 20% – Savings or debt repayment. b. Pay Yourself First. As soon as i get money: Move 10–20% directly into savings. Treat savings like a non-negotiable bill. c. Track Every Expense.For 30 days, record everything i spend i’ll usually discover: Small daily purchases add up (coffee, snacks, apps). d. Reduce “Silent Expenses” These slowly drain money: Food delivery fees, Unused subscriptions, Frequent ride-hailing. Further tips may seek from Valuecom as many of my experience learned from it.
I got so used to saving to avoid being hungry that I saved 70% last year because my salary grew without lifestyle inflation. My problem is that with scarcity mindset, I can only buy asset classes when I try to spend. Anything else makes me feel like I was wasting money. It is tough. Amassed over $1.3m in 15 years of working. Not too shabby.
It was very interesting to listen about Chinese culture, Humphrey! thank you!!😊
Thank you so much sir for your very good advice in saving money and knowledge of how chinese mindset
I just watched your video and honestly it got me thinking about how many times Ive overpaid for stuff without realising 😅 I used to check out straight away never even looked for a code first
Then my cousin saw me and was like wait dont you check for codes and I felt so dumb lol She told me she always has a quick look on PromoPro UK before buying anything so I started doing the same and its made a difference I found 10 percent off some trainers last week and free delivery on a coat small stuff but adds up
Now I kick myself when I forget to check cause its two minutes that could save a few quid
Anyone else have tricks they use or am I late to the game 😂 would love to hear what works for you guys when shopping online
Simple. We're just more stingy.
What is wrong with youtube you're a Chinese guy speaking english and I'm getting hindi subtitles from auto detection
Ancient Chinese secret eh?
Sorry it’s a Calgon reference. Had to say it.
I like saving money when I shop, and I use coupons whenever I can because small discounts really add up over time. I’ve also used Valuecom a few times to find deals, and it honestly helped me save more than I expected. What I liked about this video is that it shares simple ideas that anyone can use, even if they don’t shop online all the time. Sometimes we forget how many tools we have available to save money, so tips like these are a good reminder. I’m definitely going to try a few of the suggestions mentioned here on my next purchase.
Thanks brother
This was such an eye-opening breakdown of practical saving habits. I really like how the video focused on discipline, small daily choices, and thinking long-term instead of chasing quick wins. The idea of being intentional with every purchase really hit home for me. I’ve started applying a similar mindset by planning my spending in advance and looking for better deals before buying anything. That’s actually how I came across PromoPro UK — it’s been a simple way to cut costs on things I was already planning to buy. Saving isn’t just about earning more, it’s about managing smarter, and this video explains that perfectly. Definitely a useful reminder that consistency is the real secret to building wealth over time.
My key to always make the most of your money is this moto:
“Why would I pay more for something I can pay less for?”
That just changed my life, I always have money income and solvency and even though I’m not rich yet, I live and look as one.
0:12 but isn’t China in Asia?
Thanks very useful tips
I didn't learn anything from you because I'm Chinese. 😅😅😅
If you learn to declutter your house and live minimally then as you declutter you'll realize the pain of your spending
I really liked this video because it explains saving money in a realistic way, not just “don’t spend anything.” One thing I’ve learned over time is that small habits make a big difference. For example, I never buy something online the moment I see it anymore. I usually wait a day or two, compare prices, and check if there are any discounts running. A lot of the time, I realise I don’t even need the item after waiting.
Another thing that’s helped me is checking deal and comparison sites before checking out. I recently came across Valuecom while doing that, and it helped me spot offers I wouldn’t have noticed just browsing stores directly. It’s not about buying more, it’s about buying smarter.
I also stack savings when possible, like free shipping plus a sale price, and avoid impulse buys late at night. Curious to know what habits other people here use to keep their shopping under control.
100 percent Chinese. 😂 Someone lied. Do a DNA test. You owe it to yourself

Because. Hard made $ in china
When I made 60k a year, I managed to save 20k a year. Now I make 250k+ a year, my wealth grows around 150k last year(with a mortgage). There are tons of ways to save and grow your wealth. People just don't know how to or not willing to.

I’ve been trying to cut down my monthly spending without going crazy, so I love watching tips like these. One small habit that helped me lately is checking a coupon or promo site before I check out—sometimes it’s literally a few dollars saved, but over time it adds up more than I expected. I recently tried Valuecom when shopping for electronics and household stuff, because they list a lot of current codes and deals across many stores. I don’t use it every single buy, but for bigger purchases or when I’m already in a store’s cart, it’s worth a quick check. Also, I keep a tiny list of the best times to buy specific categories, like groceries vs. gadgets, so I’m not pressured to buy right away. That mix of planning and a quick coupon check has noticeably reduced my spend without feeling annoying.
