Can you do a video about budgeting for your kids birthdays and Christmas? I feel like I always go overboard. The last year I've been trying to focus on quality over quantity and avoid buying something if I think it'll end up donated within a year. I have a 4 month old boy and a 5 year old girl.

We just saved $2,600 on our homeowners insurance! We shopped around and found a policy for $1,100 when we had been paying $3,700!!

Hey Jennifer, I hope you and the family are well 🙏 Me and my partner recently sold our house and were able to clear quite substantial debt that had built up over the years due to adverse life circumstances. We were really struggling on a basic level to not only pay rent & bills but eat aswell. Now we are debt free it is a huge relief and we will never get into debt again. We are still trying to live frugal but have no budget as yet, tbh I'm not quite sure where to start but I know that tracking your spending and budgeting is the best way forward 🤗

Jennifer, you are a true gem! Your sensible and relentless dedication in being a great steward with financial concerns has truly paid off! I’m certain this attitude parallels that of your husband’s in helping to solidify an already wonderful marriage. CONGRATULATIONS! I look forward to more of your videos. 😁

I look at budget mistakes as feedback, it helps me to see it as something useful, instead of a failure on my part ❤. Great video thanks 😊.

We have recently cut back on electric use. The heat wave has been significant and the HVAC is running non stop. I have set the indoor temperature at 79 degrees and am running the ceiling fans on high. With the ceiling fans on high, there has not been a noticeable difference in feeling cool inside of the house ;compared to the high 90s outside. I have also unplugged the tv’s as to avoid fathom electricity use which also adds to the electric bill - heard it was as high as 3% (not sure that is accurate- but heard another UA-camr state that stat). Lights are off when not in a particular room. This evening we plan on adjusting our hot water heater because there’s no need during g the summer for such a hot shower! Hoping these measures will help bring my electric bill back in line. Last month’s electric bill was a shock and caused me to take these “drastic” measures!

I enjoy all your videos, thank you for inspiration. Greetings from Poland

Yes, I can’t think when my house is cluttered! I get irritable and snippy and I hate it. We are still working on getting our kids to keep things picked up and clean, but getting rid of stuff has helped this! Garage sale! 💵

I deleted all my social media, only left UA-cam is my platform ❤️. I don’t want any distractions and wasting my time 👌

One of the things that has really helped me not just declutter but also save money is be part of freecyling group in my city. If i need to give something away, put it on the group. At times, i ask for some thing i need and i have got it. there are times people have offerred some good items and i have claimed it. Few of the things i got is - a good bag, bluetooth speaker, music CDs, books, etc.I also watch stuff on UA-cam. Since you can download some videos, i use that option. Have watched movies for free on UA-cam. Also i am a bookworm but i am on budget. so i download free classic books and other free books on my kindle. I also visit book sales that sell mostly used books. Have got many books for dirt cheap price.

Congratulations on paying off your 🏡. What a great accomplishment! Way to go, good for you!😊

Great tips! Thanks Jennifer!

Very good advice. I like how you share ways to save. I am a homebody too.

Congratulations on paying off your debt and for the great tips you are giving us keep up the great work you are doing and stay frugal

Sometimes I say to my husband: I think we like our house a bit too much sometimes 😅 Our home is our nest ❤

I enjoyed your video. First time viewer. My goal is to pay off my Acura MDX. Src9nd goal, pay off debt, and 3rd, buy a house

I find eating out doesn’t always provide the same nourishment and fulfillment as a meal cooked at home. It’s still fun to do every now and then, especially on a night I want a break from preparing a meal. Jennifer - what are your favorite or go-to easy and affordable meals to prepare?

What an exceptional video presentation! - "Success unfolds as an ongoing odyssey."

❤GOD BLESS YOU❤

We live really close to Charleston and have been to Isle of Palms it’s very nice place! We also live close to mountains too! We live in SC close to NC line, between Rock hill and Lancaster, in a small town called Fort Lawn! I thought it was interesting you mentioned Charleston and Isle of Palms!! ❤

Care to share the workout channel? I work out through YT for free as well, including weights/kettlebell (bonus frugality points if you get your equipment used for free/cheap). Some of my favorite workout channels are Bodyfit by Amy, Team Body Project, BurpeeGirl, and Kaleigh Cohen Strength.

40??? That’s insane you look too good 😩

I'm just like you with #7. I can't copper with chaos 😊

Jennifer I always split the upcoming bills into monthly payments in my savings account. Thus when for example my insurance bill comes up I would have the money saved for it. No stress at all especially when the income is limited.

I always appreciate your words of wisdom! It does save to just stay. Unfortunately I’ve been sick this week but definitely saving money staying put 😂😅

I like to set up my coffee maker the night before and make sure my kitchen is neat for the next morning.

I'm retired, so I'm doing lots of reading.

I make large meals 3lbs of meat or chicken, with rice & veggies. Usually, I use slow cooker or airfryer. I only cook 2 days a week.

I am working on paying my mortgage only 50k. Every month, I put an extra 500 towards the principal. Last year, I came into some money (class action). I put it all 3k towards my mortgage principal.

I work out from home. Walk, crunches, and hand weights.

I always have water and a bag of almonds every day whenever I go out.

I put my groceries or costco list on my Memo Pad Notes on my Samsung phone. As soon as I see I'm low, I put it on my list.

Reusable baby food pouches! Great for apple sauce, especially.

Facebook market place and free pages ! Literally first port of call even wait for it to come up there even if it takes slightly longer . Xx

Thank you 😊 always love your channel and ideas dear Jennifer

I save money by following the 7 Baby steps. My goal is to complete all seven steps, so I make a budget each month and do not use a credit card, and aim to live below my means. I am debt free except for the mortgage.

I rarely go out to eat anymore because the prices are too high and the portion size is shrinking. For those nights when you just don’t want to cook I will pick things up at the supermarket deli. It’s half the cost of going out to eat and yet someone else cooked it. I also get to determine the portion size. Again I do this rarely but it’s a little treat to me.

Good advice! Thanks for being the voice of reason!

Congratulations Jennifer! Well done!

I just got back from a vacation. I drove a 2021 Toyota Sienna for 4572 miles. I spent $450 dollars for 188 gallons of gas. I will always have a Sienna. Best investment I have made on a car.

Just a thought would you consider ever having memberships? I like to support my favorite UA-camrs and have a few memberships totaling less than $10 a month that I have budgeted for thanks to their tips . It seems only right they should share the wealth. I know you don't like to sell things, but if you are interested and quietly put a 99 cent or $1.99 membership or so so those of us who want to support you have the choice it might be another revenue stream.

🖐🥰👍

Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips! Is it worth it pay off my mortgage if I’m planning to move out in 5 years?

great content

Very nice

Dear Jennifer, Recently discoverd your channel; love your content! There are things I've already been doing for years and new things I haven't thought about. I have always been happy with a simple life. I do well at some things and am working to do better on others. For example, I have never had cable, eat out very little, family hair cuts & enjoy doing things at home. Working harder at becoming debt free, tracking and budgeting. Thanks for your support and great ideas! Best Always ~ Lori ~🤑🥰

One idea which I Learned from another couple id enter to win in radio and TV contests. Once I won tickets to see Swan Lake in Peoria and had a nice night out with my mother in-law. Our husbands are not interested in ballet.

Love your video, as usual. I hope you and your family are having a wonderful summer. The temps have been terribly hot here in Tennessee, but summer is still my favorite season!
