Also, thanks for mentioning that that love and marriage isn’t 50/50. That is so true. There are times when one of you is down, or overworked, sick, tired, etc, then the other picks up the slack. The other one will do that for you when you are down, sick, etc. This is my busy time for my home based business. I still cook 3-4 nights a week, the rest of the time my husband will either eat leftovers, or fend for himself. We do takeout about once a week. He does the dishes most of the time, heats up food for me on the days I don’t cook. It’s great. But after two months of this I noticed that he was getting tired, dishes were piling up. So, after a very long day working, I did an hour of dishes. He was so appreciative. I was exhausted, but he was so happy that it was worth it.
I'm 66. I heard a piece of advice when I was just a child. It made such an impression on me that even after all these years I remember and practice it. And it does take practice. Each partner has to give 100%. Not 100% of the time but 100%.
I saved my goal of $100.00. I'm also doing the 52 week money challenge. I have 2 more weeks to go! I'm proud of myself! I don't usually comment but want to thank you for all you do. God Bless you and your son!
I heard a comment recently from a guy in a happy marriage and I thought it was great! He said “when I’m having a bad day she helps make my day better and when she is, I do the same for her”. Love that. ❤️
Amen! Married going on 39 years. For the first 20 years my husband worked his rear off..we had a son and daughter (now 34 and 36) In 2009 he was injured on the job, had several major surgeries and became addicted to prescription medications. I felt like I was giving 75% ( his disability payments helped pay most of the bills) at the time. He is still not 100% physically and I feel like I do much more however, I feel due to his injuries, etc he is doing his best ( recovered from addiction)...he still covers most of the bill's with annuity, SSA income, etc. There are days I think, the kids are raised and gone but...I love him, and I feel hes giving his best even though I wish it could be better.
39 years!!!! Yes ups and downs for sure:) He’s a lucky man and I’m lucky to have you here watching my channel and sharing with us❤️ Appreciate you Esther!
I get that.with my husband,due to his disability,he is unable to do certain things.due to my asthma,i cannot do certain things,but we work together. I did yell at him,though.why?i.spent a lot of time cleaning our tiny studio apartment.got it clean,nice,neat,organized.he utterly trashed the place. Anyone would lose their shit in this situation.i said its hard work to clean.while i have no problem with it,the least you can do is not destroy my work.
The rubber band analogy was amazing! Thank you for sharing it. Also, it is so nice when someone takes the time to say they won’t speak poorly of someone, who at one time was probably the most important person in their life. My ex and I are friends and so many people can’t understand how. My kids have told me many times how their friends wish their divorced parents were like we are but instead they can’t even be under the same roof at the same time (I feel sad for those kids). Lastly, although I didn’t get to save money myself, I did open a bank account for my youngest daughter (she’s 16 and is trying to get a job) and started her a savings account with $100 and a checking account with $100.
Our goal after we had ours second child was for me to be a stay at home mom. I’ve enjoyed that for 10 years now. The biggest step to hitting this goal, along with so many more, was a budget. During the K Squad challenge we hit our goal of $1200. Which happens to be the same as our sinking fund for Christmas, so Christmas 2021 is funded!
In Oct & Nov I put $1800 to savings, $500 to our canadian RRSP (registered retirement savings plan) & $3,387 extra on my mortgage--single gal with 2 jobs busting my butt
Kate, tx for your inspiration! My accomplishments: 1. Moved $10,000 from a very low .5% yield savings account to another fund that's a bit more risky but will likely yield on avg approx 5%. 2. Converted 12% of my IRA to a Roth IRA. Doing these 2 things will raise my 2020 taxes about $1,000 but will save me approx $20,000 over the next 30 years. I'm 60 and single. My savings goal was to: 1. Eat out only 2 times during this period. 2. Clean off my dining table so I could eat more homemade meals there. I've only eaten out once and the table is still covered with piles of paper. But I feel really great about saving $20,000 and that motivates me to find even more savings opportunities. And, I've set a new deadline - Dec 31 - to reach my clear tabletop goal. Hope this detail helps! 😀
I’m saving for new appliances next year, 2022. I saved $500 in this 10 weeks. I’ll be doing another start on ten new weeks soon! This is an easy goal from grocery shopping weekly and not buying cola drinks, chips, packaged foods. I love to bake and we have better home baked items than I can purchase. Yum! Make iced tea daily and make lemonade! It’s a fun game! The rubber band example is excellent! I’m married 53 years this year (Aug 2021) and I’m a retired accountant. Pat in Colorado
Just started watching your videos during the weekend. I love your drive, your strength. It really reminds me of all of us, who have been through a lot for too long and now can't believe how far we've come. What a wonderful feeling. Thank you so much!!!!!🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Thanks for this Storytime. These are great suggestions, and its such an important topic to be discussing right now, I really enjoyed the video. My wife and I decided to living on one income and the other income is set aside for things that we "want", savings, investing, etc.
I'm going through the comments and cheering for you all by clicking your like buttons. Way to go! I wish this channel had been around in the Dark Ages (1990s!) when I was working harder on frugality. Kate: you're doing good work.
Hi there UKSQUAD here. I have saved my £100 up for the challenge. I started a week late as it was our Sons Wedding and needed all our extras for that. Just saved from housekeeping and putting away 10pence first day of month 20pence second up to £3 on the 30th month. Really enjoyed the challenge. Have bought new bedspread bed sheet. Pillows and cases and lampshades. Had enough for our favourite Moët Chandon on special offer to drink on 15th December - 41 years since our first date. Stay safe and well out there
Great Tips! Thanks for this! I endured a challenging situation similar to you and your husband's back in 2009. I reached my AHA MOMENT regarding financial security and building wealth some years back. I've been on a paying down debt and building wealth plan for a few solid years. Admittedly it's definitely a commitment and can be challenging to begin, but with a few years behind me now, I've been able to reduce spending and/or give up other purchases all together. I've changed my lifestyle totally as a result of the lockdown and have come to no longer need or desire my lifestyle prior to COVID-19. For example, I haven't had my hair or nails professionally maintained since March of 2020, so have used those extra funds to pay down debt and build an Emergency Savings Fund.
I like the analogy of the 2 hands holding each other rather than two fists! It totally makes sense because it is always give and take and it does ebb and flow
Hey Kate! Hi kaden! Hey buns! Loved this story and the marriage advice. Life is such a delicate balance these days. Your pep talks really help me get though the hard days. I saved $350! Really good for a newbie I think. Best wishes!
Great advice, Kate! You have to change your expectations and get focused when times are tough! Also, don't beat yourself up and go to the " woe is me" mindset. Going through tough times makes us stronger and more resilient!
Thank you for sharing. You touched home. My relationship has been a rubber and, pulling mostly my end and still surviving. The COVID, has actually make our relationship strong and he finally realized how much I have put in financially and he actually balanced out our rubberband. We have been married for 34 years. Thank you for your video and God bless you.
Just found this vidoe again, watched it for the 2nd time. I enjoyed it a lot. I am just finishing a 26 week challenge from Clever Girl Finance. starts out with $3 week one and increases by about $4 a week untill the last week you put in $103. The total for that this Sunday will be $1378. This is on top of my regular savings and investments. I will use it for Vacation in July.
Reached my goal, I saved 1k, I really had to be intentional, pay attention and stick to my budget. We are on code red lock down and you can only buy essentials at this time - which also helped. 🙂
Tip # 45 for saving your money, in alot of credit card debt, ask your bank for a revolving line of credit, then switch the credit card debt over to your lower interest line of credit, then you have the option of only paying the interest if things are tight and you pay what you want when you want to pay the rest of the balance off.
Glad to hear that you do not share bad things about your sons dad. My dad told me never to say anything bad about your daughters dad, your daughter can judge him herself based on what her dad does or does not do. It hurts me to hear people bash their child’s dad/mom.
Love that saying about love!!! I cant believe it I hit my target 1k and smashed my yearly goal and gone over with a month to spare and I've finished present shopping!!! Great video xxx
Hi Kate, Kaden and kitties. Thanks for another great video. 3500 dollars is amazing. You work hard for it and deserve it. My goal was 1000 dollars by cutting a hundred dollars a week on my groceries. So only spending fifty a week. I did it! Saved 1000.00 dollars plus cashed in my coins to make 1200 in total. Spending 500.00 on a generator and banking the rest. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
This is the first video I’ve gotten from you in forever. It must be in the air, you and one other TH-camr were on the same subject today. Gotta go back and watch your past videos.
Well done Kate! $$$. I re located to Ireland and I am still uncertain about tax implications etc. I have remained extremely frugal while feeling abundantly Blessed! Thx for ongoing inspiration. ☘️🇨🇮☘️
Hi Kate, hello everyone!👋👋 The advice your friend gave you is so true... I feel that no one is perfect- maybe not all the time one person will be giving more than 50%(because then, you might not be with the right person), but at one point or another either one might be the one doing it:). Love, love, love your channel God bless you and Kaden!
Good morning Kate. Thanks for fun money challenge. I reached my goal $1000! Woo hoo My break down for it is . Using some of it for Christmas, some into savings and a new pair of work shoes for me , because I am worth it. 😊 Have a great day
I love that quote that you read about relationships been 60 or 70 percent to 40 or 30%! That taught me something that I would love to do in my next relationship! And I like how you do not speak ill about your past relationship! I learned something new every time I watch your videos! :-)s
Was able to save enough for an electric garage door without using emergency fund. Did this with extra job and ot. This was my 2nd goal that I had set for myself by the end of this year. Thanks for the challenge gave me motivation.😊💝
Reached my goal as well! Over 5000, completely forgot about my husband’s bonus. We will stick it in savings as we usually have a hefty tax debt come April.
Good morning Eileen! Thank you so much for being here. WELCOME to the family!!!! I'm so glad you are here!!!! Hope to see you tomorrow morning for a new video to kick off the year!
Thank you for your videos! Love hearing your wisdom! Also, thank you for the recommendation to watch "Till Debt Do Us Part!" My family and I have been enjoying watching episodes together each evening :)
I was doing well, with the savings goal, until my car needed an expensive repair very unexpectedly. But I was grateful I had the cash to pay for it. I'm getting back up again, and back on track. This is extra savings on top of all of my savings etc already in place. 50/50 to me, means striving towards balance, not being against each other. just my opinion :) tfs 🎄🌵🎅🍭🍬🍥🏜️🩰🎁🎀🎉🎄🌵🎅🍭🍬🍥🏜️🩰🎁🎀🎉🎄🌵🎅🍭🍬🍥🏜️🩰🎁🎀🎉
No disparaging the ex, publicly. I like that! At one time I had a good relationship with my ex, but his new wife, unbeknownst to me, would come between us in a very bad way. Feel bad for my son though....
That’s awesome! I managed to save 10 thousand. It took me a long time to save this amount as a savings l can actually use towards any unexpected emergency. My next goal is to save 15 thousand!
I appreciate you so much. That is so great that you are very respectful of your ex. So often people tend to tear down their ex spouse. That is so much better for your Son for you both to be co parenting and getting along. I hope that you and Kaden will have a wonderful weekend.
Your story is going to be a great help to people! I loved that story Kate and you speaking very gentle about your sons dad was right on. You got through that rough patch of the road!💖🏡💯
Hi Diana!! You can do it! I’m not doing vlogmas this year but I did it last year so I will post last year’s all month long in the community tab to share my traditions:) ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for video. You always inspire me when I need it! 🙂 I loved the advice from you friend very wise. The car you mentioned in your story, was it a Toyota Aygo by any chance? If so I had one a in 2011, also brand new & god it was great on fuel! X
Didn’t do the challenge,just saw this video in my feed. I have been listing a lot of our stuff but people usually don’t show up,even for donations half the time they never show. 🙄😞 I did get one of my sons toy sets sold for $20,& gave him half. Hopefully it goes better for me with Christmas coming up since we have a lot of new toys. Worked a few overtime hours (maybe 10) thanksgiving week while it was offered. It’s a struggle making $10-$11/hr 7.5 hours 5days a week-(4 every other week in January because I’m too tired.)but my sons dad takes 2/3rds of my check and I have to use the other 1/3rd to pay almost all of the bills on my own so he’ll just leave all the lights on & leave windows open while the air or heat is on bc he doesn’t care bc he doesn’t help pay electric/gas. I do use our joint account for most groceries & pet stuff like litter & food now. I take care of the house & pets alone. He helps get our son to do his homework & make dinner 3weeks a month but that’s it,doesn’t even clean up after himself so I’m working on getting my license but drivers training is so expensive,trying to do what I can so I can leave but lawyers are also expensive as for custody bc his moms wanted my son since before I was even pregnant,my sons dad alone would probably do joint pretty well but then again who knows.
Love all your videos, I shared this one with two of my good friends ❣️ I saved $2000.00. Oh My God, it went by fast snd now I will have a Christmas, great idea for us! Also loved reading everyone’s comments snd the goals they all achieved!! We rock👍🎄
I love how you are so respectful of Kaden's dad. You are such a blessing.
Thank you Dawn🙏❤️🥰
Yes! Not many women today can do that.
I saved my goal of $100, made $120 selling stuff, and got a small work bonus of $125! Proud of myself☺️
$500 for an emergency fund starter! I've never had one before and I make very little so that's pretty big for me. ☺
Awesome!
It won’t take long before you get to the $1,000 mark 😊

Hi I am from the Netherlands, I reallly enjoy your tips but also your spontanious way of talking. Super! Thank you!

Good for you!
You are a strong, smart, wise, independent woman. God bless you and kee o you 🌄
Very cool! Esp about your retirement savings.
Kate, tx for your inspiration!
My accomplishments:
1. Moved $10,000 from a very low .5% yield savings account to another fund that's a bit more risky but will likely yield on avg approx 5%.
2. Converted 12% of my IRA to a Roth IRA.
Doing these 2 things will raise my 2020 taxes about $1,000 but will save me approx $20,000 over the next 30 years. I'm 60 and single.
My savings goal was to:
1. Eat out only 2 times during this period.
2. Clean off my dining table so I could eat more homemade meals there.
I've only eaten out once and the table is still covered with piles of paper. But I feel really great about saving $20,000 and that motivates me to find even more savings opportunities. And, I've set a new deadline - Dec 31 - to reach my clear tabletop goal.

You are very welcome! Welcome to the family!
So great to have an ex who is a great co-parent team mate. Wish that could have been us, for our sons sake. Live and learn. ✌🏽💛✨
Thanks for this Storytime. These are great suggestions, and its such an important topic to be discussing right now, I really enjoyed the video. My wife and I decided to living on one income and the other income is set aside for things that we "want", savings, investing, etc.

Hi there UKSQUAD here. I have saved my £100 up for the challenge. I started a week late as it was our Sons Wedding and needed all our extras for that. Just saved from housekeeping and putting away 10pence first day of month 20pence second up to £3 on the 30th month. Really enjoyed the challenge. Have bought new bedspread bed sheet. Pillows and cases and lampshades. Had enough for our favourite Moët Chandon on special offer to drink on 15th December - 41 years since our first date. Stay safe and well out there

I saved $400.00 toward car tires. I was able to do this by watching purchases,making lists, sticking to tight budget.
I saved $560 during this challenge. It will stay in my emergency savings until I find a job. Once I have a job, I may use that savings for a new rug.
Hey Kate! Hi kaden! Hey buns! Loved this story and the marriage advice. Life is such a delicate balance these days. Your pep talks really help me get though the hard days. I saved $350! Really good for a newbie I think. Best wishes!
Way to go! So proud of you!!!!!! Congratulations!!!🍾🎉
My goal was $500 we are @ $1700 saving for a trip when it's safer
U are so awesome
Cat that is amaaazing! Congratulations!!!
Great advice, Kate! You have to change your expectations and get focused when times are tough! Also, don't beat yourself up and go to the " woe is me" mindset. Going through tough times makes us stronger and more resilient!
Yassss!!!!!
Thanks for sharing in storytime. 👍 From the live chat, good idea to post 2019 Vlogmas. Community tab for KSquad 👍

yas!
Thanks for sharing your story and the encouragement. Love your positive attitude Kate.
Thank you so much Anna!
Good video, great transparency.

Hi Kate, Kaden and kitties. Thanks for another great video. 3500 dollars is amazing. You work hard for it and deserve it. My goal was 1000 dollars by cutting a hundred dollars a week on my groceries. So only spending fifty a week. I did it! Saved 1000.00 dollars plus cashed in my coins to make 1200 in total. Spending 500.00 on a generator and banking the rest. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

This is the first video I’ve gotten from you in forever. It must be in the air, you and one other TH-camr were on the same subject today. Gotta go back and watch your past videos.
Hi Granny Prepper! ❤️❤️❤️
I made my goal 1000🙏
Thanks for the inspiration of thinking outside the 9-5 income.
Love your channel
Well done Kate! $$$. I re located to Ireland and I am still uncertain about tax implications etc. I have remained extremely frugal while feeling abundantly Blessed! Thx for ongoing inspiration. ☘️🇨🇮☘️
Kaitlin OBrien, where did you relocate from? The revenue commissioner will advise you on your taxes.
Hi Kate, hello everyone!👋👋 The advice your friend gave you is so true... I feel that no one is perfect- maybe not all the time one person will be giving more than 50%(because then, you might not be with the right person), but at one point or another either one might be the one doing it:). Love, love, love your channel God bless you and Kaden!
Good morning Kate.
Thanks for fun money challenge.
I reached my goal $1000! Woo hoo
My break down for it is .
Using some of it for Christmas, some into savings and a new pair of work shoes for me , because I am worth it. 😊
Have a great day
Theresa!!!! Yes yes yes!!! Congratulations!!!
Loved the example you give with fist/rubber band!
Always a great inspiration. I need constant brain-washing on how to be frugal.
I like your example with the elastic . Keep up the good work .
Thank you so much Barbara!!!
I love fetch. I am trying to figure out ibotta but it takes a lot more time then I want to put into it.
I love that quote that you read about relationships been 60 or 70 percent to 40 or 30%! That taught me something that I would love to do in my next relationship! And I like how you do not speak ill about your past relationship! I learned something new every time I watch your videos! :-)s

We will stick it in savings as we usually have a hefty tax debt come April.
Monica!!! You crushed it! Soooo proud of you!
Hi ..Am new to your channel. Really enjoyed it.I just started with Fetch.Pretty cool stuff.Thanks for sharing. Just became a subscriber. T.Y.
Good morning Eileen! Thank you so much for being here. WELCOME to the family!!!! I'm so glad you are here!!!! Hope to see you tomorrow morning for a new video to kick off the year!
Thank you for your videos! Love hearing your wisdom! Also, thank you for the recommendation to watch "Till Debt Do Us Part!" My family and I have been enjoying watching episodes together each evening :)
KATE THE BREAKFAST LUNCHY THING.... IT’S CALLED BRUNCH LOL YOU CRACK ME UP😂
LOL!!!
You’re awesome!! Love your videos!!
I love your channel so much!! I never get tired of listening to you! Hugs. 😘
I was doing well, with the savings goal, until my car needed an expensive repair very unexpectedly. But I was grateful I had the cash to pay for it. I'm getting back up again, and back on track. This is extra savings on top of all of my savings etc already in place. 50/50 to me, means striving towards balance, not being against each other. just my opinion :) tfs 🎄🌵🎅🍭🍬🍥🏜️🩰🎁🎀🎉🎄🌵🎅🍭🍬🍥🏜️🩰🎁🎀🎉🎄🌵🎅🍭🍬🍥🏜️🩰🎁🎀🎉
So glad you had the cash!!!🥰❤️
Flexible - yes - constant flex. Helps in all relationships. ❤️❤️
Yasss!!!
Love your story, good advice. Thank you.
You’re welcome Lilia! 🙏 thank you
No disparaging the ex, publicly. I like that! At one time I had a good relationship with my ex, but his new wife, unbeknownst to me, would come between us in a very bad way. Feel bad for my son though....
I saved $1,000 so I could get a new puppy. Olaf is home with me and 8 weeks old.. Paid cash!
Now you just have to set aside vet money!
awe they bring so much joy! make sure that baby has an emergency fund too

You *could have* spent about $100 and *Adopted* a Doggo from a *Shelter* and saved their life instead. 🐶
We say marriage is 100/100. But I love the thought that sometimes you have to the giving one and sometimes the taking one.
Totally! :)Thanks for watching Kimberly!
Saved $24,000 this year so far
This year, $5000 this last 2 more months. we have 2-15 year old vehicles 🚗
🚘
I got 4 tanks of gas ⛽️ since March.
That’s awesome! I managed to save 10 thousand. It took me a long time to save this amount as a savings l can actually use towards any unexpected emergency. My next goal is to save 15 thousand!
@@cherylT321 that’s Awesome 👏🏼 Too
No small change there!! Congrats 🎊
@@ireneroy8820 Thank you!

Great vid, thank you!
Thank you Jennifer!!
Thank you for sharing your story with us Kate.. Like always, great content 😘😘
K squad - how do u get in on it? Love your content. Real, positive , refreshing.
Just saw- lol- 10am on Sunday. 🙌🙌
So glad you came!!!
I appreciate you so much.
That is so great that you are very respectful of your ex. So often people tend to tear down their ex spouse. That is so much better for your Son for you both to be co parenting and getting along.
I hope that you and Kaden will have a wonderful weekend.
Linea, thank you SO much🙏
Your story is going to be a great help to people! I loved that story Kate and you speaking very gentle about your sons dad was right on. You got through that rough patch of the road!💖🏡💯
Thank you so much Irene. That means a ton to me❤️
You are so awesome and such an inspiration thank you🙏
You are very welcome!🙌
I made the goal of $1K!! I wanted a new apartment and I've already found one (moved in last week). I worked extra overtime and stopped eating out.
Jill! I’m so so happy for you!! You did it!! Ahhh!!! This is so exciting. Congratulations on your new place!
Hi Kate, mi ultimate savings goal is to pay off my house, hope I can do it 🤩, and I was wondering if you were going to do blogmas this year 🙂
Hi Diana!! You can do it! I’m not doing vlogmas this year but I did it last year so I will post last year’s all month long in the community tab to share my traditions:) ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for video. You always inspire me when I need it! 🙂 I loved the advice from you friend very wise.
The car you mentioned in your story, was it a Toyota Aygo by any chance? If so I had one a
in 2011, also brand new & god it was great on fuel! X
Didn’t do the challenge,just saw this video in my feed. I have been listing a lot of our stuff but people usually don’t show up,even for donations half the time they never show. 🙄😞 I did get one of my sons toy sets sold for $20,& gave him half. Hopefully it goes better for me with Christmas coming up since we have a lot of new toys. Worked a few overtime hours (maybe 10) thanksgiving week while it was offered. It’s a struggle making $10-$11/hr 7.5 hours 5days a week-(4 every other week in January because I’m too tired.)but my sons dad takes 2/3rds of my check and I have to use the other 1/3rd to pay almost all of the bills on my own so he’ll just leave all the lights on & leave windows open while the air or heat is on bc he doesn’t care bc he doesn’t help pay electric/gas. I do use our joint account for most groceries & pet stuff like litter & food now. I take care of the house & pets alone. He helps get our son to do his homework & make dinner 3weeks a month but that’s it,doesn’t even clean up after himself so I’m working on getting my license but drivers training is so expensive,trying to do what I can so I can leave but lawyers are also expensive as for custody bc his moms wanted my son since before I was even pregnant,my sons dad alone would probably do joint pretty well but then again who knows.
Love all your videos, I shared this one with two of my good friends ❣️
I saved $2000.00. Oh My God, it went by fast snd now I will have a Christmas, great idea for us!
Also loved reading everyone’s comments snd the goals they all achieved!!

How large should your emergency fund be.
In one it said 6 mts but I can't do that as I am planing to retire.
I accomplished my goal and did $250 😊😊
Just told my husband he gives me 80% and I've been giving 20% and he said really? I think you've been giving 80% and I've been giving 20%. 😌
🥰🥰🥰sounds like you are a very giving pair ❤️❤️❤️
Excellent my friend
Stay in touch have a wonderful weekend
Thank you Rania!
