How to Afford Designer on a College Budget

Saving money is a skill that needs to be learned. Especially for someone in their 20’s trying to transition into the real world. We are constantly paying for things on a weekly basis. Think that morning coffee we get to survive class all day, rent for the month, uber fees from the weekend, an outfit to wear to the next event and so much more. It can seem impossible to put aside money for anything you’ve been eyeing.

Thanks to Reel, it’s possible to purchase investment pieces without racking up serious credit card debt. 

Reel is all about “guilt-free shopping” and helps you save for the items you want. *Cue Arianna Grande’s 7 Rings* Reel believes your aspirations can become a reality if you go about it smartly. Instead of taking a lump out of your savings, Reel helps you rethink the way you buy. This site is perfect for young adults to see the potential of SAVING money through time. You get the satisfaction of paying with your own money. No debt = NO GUILT!

How Reel works…

WANT IT: Search from millions of products from hundreds of stores, anything from clothing and accessories, to furniture and home décor.

REEL IT: Pick how much you want to save up every day, then link your bank account to start automatic transactions towards it. As you save, Reel keeps you inspired by tracking the price. After you save the full amount, you’ll need to confirm your shipping address.

OWN IT: Once you confirm your shipping address, Reel will place the order for you. BAM, IT’S YOURS. How awesome is that?! 

If you have any questions, Reel has an awesome detailed FAQ page!

With spring break coming up, I wanted to save for some jewelry I’ve been eyeing. For instance, I wanted pieces that would last and become an everyday staple in my wardrobe. No more cheap jewelry that would break half way through vacation! 

I decided to save up for Gorjana necklaces that pair beautifully together and can be worn with almost any outfit. The necklaces I purchased were the Palm Coin Necklace and the Chloe Mini Necklace. I was able to set the necklaces for a low price of $1.35 a day or higher if wanted. They even have an option to “boost” your item by paying a larger amount to pay rest of the item off. When you think about it, the daily $2 is cheaper than spending more than $4 on a Starbucks drink every morning. 

Reel helps me purchase items I’ve been wanting without spending my paycheck all at once. If you’re looking to purchase a designer bag or expensive shoes, this is the perfect site to check out. This site can be used for any item over $30 that you’d like to break up payments for.  In conclusion, I highly recommend this site to help you budget your money and afford what you REELy want!

You can save $15 on your first Reel with code C-HANNAH2019! 

What are you currently eyeing or saving up for?

Much Love,
Hannah Claire

    Love that picture of you! Although I don’t really have a tight budget, I’m thinking trying designer clothing would be great!
