I wanted to be mad at this bc I don't make enough to save $400 a week. But I couldn't stop grinning from war to ear. Congratulations on the accomplishment. This is a huge motivation for me.

I am really going to try this month (while doing my No Spend) to see what is going on in my bank account and make sure I’m not missing any sneaky ones!!
We do streaming services in rotation. We subscribe to, say, Netflix for a couple months and watch all the things. Then we cancel Netflix and subscribe to, say, Hulu. Lather, rinse, repeat! One at a time saves us lots.
@@dorothyyoung8231 that’s exactly what i do. I also turn off auto renew so that when my sub runs out im forced to think “do i really wanna pay $16.99 for whatever show in interested in” usually the answer is no and i pick the next sub that correlates w/ whatever show i wanna watch
@@dorothyyoung8231 I have never though of that 😮 so smart and you don’t feel overwhelmed with all the options. When I have to pay for my own I will def do this. I only pay for Hulu now since my parents pay for a lot of them. 😅😅
2023 is all about slashing our credit card debt! 💳 We are going to make that card work for us, not the other way 'round! We are going to save our change and roll over money with the penny challenge! Thank you for sharing your inspirational story with us! 🤑💚🎆 Congratulations!
Because I’m 15, I’m starting to save for my first car, probably around 7-8k. I come from a poorer household, so I don’t have “daddy’s money” to help. I’ve always been kinda bad at keeping my money for more than a week, so I’m really hoping a definitive goal could help. I don’t have an official job/steady paycheck, so I can’t do many “traditional” challenges. I hope that by writing this down it can help me stick to this!
Hi Anthony! I love hearing your story! And to see that you know when you write a goal down- chances of it happening, just went WAY up! I respect that you are going to do this yourself. It’s really the best way to do anything- no matter what it is. It builds character, makes you smarter, you’ll learn from your mistakes and get stronger as you go along. That’s how I was raised- my Dad never handed us anything, either. His favorite line was, “ Looks like you have a lot to think about, you’ll figure it out.” And I did. And so will you! Keep us posted on how you are doing. BTW- we have free savings challenges you can print out and get started: drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1VRf2dzNHV84v-oLIbufEnM3LlNcDpXcr
I walked to my first job at 16 for two years until I got my first car it cost 4.5k! But this was when minimum wage was 6 dollars an hour now it’s 15 an hour so you will get there in no time and it won’t be as much of a burden. You can do it!
Attempting the traditional 100 envelope challenge, my wife is doing the Penny challenge, we’re both doing the no spend January challenge We’re going to try really hard this year to save and pay towards debt
I’m so glad the two of you are doing this together- that will make ALL the difference. Even this no spend January- I told Jason I was doing it again and his response, “Yes- you can do it.” I will find ways to get him on board but it’s still annoying. 🫣
@@2SisterBees 🖤💛 you’ve got this Sarah is still not in to it as much as I’m challenging myself but I know that if I can prove that it’s so possible she’ll have an easier time other the process lol I have to praise her for trying to do her own challenge. She’s working on thr penny challenge and I can say that’s a start and a win for her Happy new year
My income is just $300 a month. I have started with a saving challenge box that I made myself with 24 mini envelopes in it. I get pain biweekly, so I went with 24. Most or $1 and $5 dollar envelopes and a few are $10. When I pull my cash, the very first thing is going to be the savings box.by the end if a year I'll have $107 from it. Nowhere near 20k. But I simply don't have that income.
I love when EVERYONE gets into saving- that’s the whole idea! If we just remember it’s for ourselves and no one else - we will make progress- whether it’s $20 or $20k… doesn’t matter…. It’s savings! Keep going - I love what you are doing! 💛 I just did a video about comparing to others- incase you haven’t had a chance to watch: th-cam.com/video/xEi7z72O09o/w-d-xo.html
Let’s talk about how much this video and what you were saying was so inspiring. Time to revisit all those bills that are paid automatically since they don’t come in the mail anymore we don’t read statements. Thank you Jen congratulations on this amazing savings challenge ~Donna
Yes! It really is that complacency “they” put us in by having paperless statements, automatic payments, auto renewal… it’s a way to keep you in the dark about where your own money goes. Hey, they will even give you a discount if you sign up for those “features”!! We need to wake up and shake things up! I am so glad that you took some info from the video! I’m so glad when I hear that!💛💛💛 Keep us posted on how you do moving forward. ✨
So awesome!!! 👏👏👏 Happy New Year! I learned yesterday that one of my employers did not need me for the next few months. Thanks to cash budgeting and being ready for no spend January I am not stressed about being able to cover my expenses while I look for a new position. Thank you so much for being a part of my journey!
While I am so sorry to hear of your job being on hold- I am very glad to hear that you aren’t as stressed about it since you’ve been saving! What a relief that must be! I have also NEVER been in the position to be able to handle an emergency like that until this year! It’s a great feeling! ✨💛✨
I'm new to your channel. Congratulations on reaching your goal 👏🏾👏🏾 I saved over 6,000 in 2022. Now my goal is over 10,000 for 2023 and once I get cleared to go back to work more than that
My dad kind of taught me the delayed gratification thing since I was a kid. Everyone used to say I was spoiled growing up, cause I “got everything I wanted”, but what they didn’t know is that my dad never promised to get me anything, what he did was promise to get it for me, IF HE CAN. I actually come from money, but growing up, I didn’t really know that because of how my parents budgeted all the times, and lived very modestly. So what my dad did when I would ask for anything, was he would make me wait until he “got paid”, and then he would do his budget and see if he could afford it at the moment. What he was really doing was giving me time to figure out if this was really something I wanted, so I wouldn’t have him buy it, use it/play with it a few times, and then never touch it. So after a few days, or maybe even a week, I may tell him I don’t want it anymore because I realized I really didn’t want it that much, or if I still wanted it after 2 weeks, I’d tell him and he’d say he’d see what he can do. If I asked for it again, I always got it, but it made me think about everything I ask for, and if it’s something I truly want, or just a quick impulse. I do the same with my kids now, and even myself, if I still want it in 2 weeks, and most importantly, if I can afford to buy it TWICE in that moment; I’ll buy it. If not, I’ll do away with it, or simply save up a bit longer until I can buy it. It’s made a big difference for me when I started this journey. I just thought back to how my dad did things, and it’s been easy for me to now go weeks or even months without spending money.
Congratulations on 20k🎉 I love watching your channel and you are the greatest motivator that I have seen thus far. Happy New Year and many blessings on your financial journey!! ❤
🎉🥳 Way to go, Sis !! I am so very proud of you !! I am looking for an extra part-time job and doing the no spend challenge in January with you. Poor Rodney had to have a lot of medical tests done on his back, so there will be a lot of medical bills on top of the ones we already have. But 2023 is gonna be my hustle year. It's gonna be hard, but by the end of the year, I want to be debt free and fully fund my 1000 emergency fund. Happy New Year Sissy !! Sending you and the family lots of love 🧡
Hey Natasha!! 💛 I hope your hubby is ok- Jason has been having lower back problems, too! It’s very upsetting! He’s been doing the ice/heat thing and taking Advil but I think it’s time for a doctor. Keep us posted on Rodney - and how you are holding up, Sis! 💛 Much love to you both! 💛✨
This was really great to see and super motivating keep it up. I’ve done a few challenges myself they are a great way to keep yourself accountable for sure. Currently doing 50k in 18 months started last year my end date is feb of next year I’ve been doing 695$ a week straight to savings
I loved watching this video! Jen that was a huge accomplishment. You’re my hero. I love watching all of 2 Sister Bees videos. You’re so real and make everything relatable. ❤❤❤
I’m aiming for 10000 this year. I’m doing a few 2 sister bee challenges. I love Save and Spend and Wordle. Sometimes on Save and Spend I use 4 or six die and split the high and low values. I went back and got caught up on Hello Honey as well. It is fun. Since I’m already doing a 100 envelope box challenge, I decided to do 100 honeys with a twist. I mixed rules 1 and 2. I will be stuffing the each pot with 1.00 bills except for the pots that are multiples of 5. So 5,10,15,20 will all be stuffed at face value. Boosting all my savings with the help of my companion cards. So we are gonna see how it goes.
Congratulations!!! Wow!! I am doing the 100 envelope challenge , 52 week challenge definitely again. This will be my 3rd year doing both. Going to add at least one more challenge just have not decided which one.
May i suggest the Zero Out challenge? Every week, say on Tuesday you check your checking account balance and move the single dollars and change to your savings account. Ex: $359.25 move the $9.25. It adds up!
Especially going from FL to CA. what a change!, in the past it would have been fine but these days, with how expensive CA is what a dump it is! Good luck!!!!!
Haha! I don’t disagree- I MUCH prefer FL. We actually live in a beautiful community here in Northern CA so we are very lucky on that. And as far as expensive, omgggg, it is CRAZY!! The prices of everything are INSANE! Again, we are blessed in that area, as well, with the position my husband took. This move has gotten us out of debt, saving our money and building a future. I’d do that anywhere! Thank you for watching the video! Hope you check out some others! ⭐️🐝⭐️
I’m doing my first savings challenge ever! I’m starting with a 100 envelope challenge. I’m fortunate to not have a huge amount of debt hanging over me, but I’m a shopper. It’s never big amounts so I don’t notice it. My goal is $5050 by the end of the year. I want to start all the challenges and binders but I know I will burn out too quickly if I take too much on at once.
That is very true - starting with just a few instead of going all in with a bunch of different things is the perfect way to make sure you don’t get overwhelmed. Good luck to you in your savings goal for 2023! I’m sure you’ll do it! 💛💛💛
Congratulations that is a huge accomplishment! I've been off work for about 6 months due to some medical issues without pay. Once I go back to work I'm going to focus on saving up my baby emergency fund of $1000.00 then sinking funds and going hard on paying off debt.
Congratulations on your savings!! I'm going to be saving a short-term emergency fund long-term emergency fund and a unexpected bill fund a no spend and roll it over into a fund. I also purchased a few scratch off from Etsy I'll be doing those as well I'm so excited I started already. Happy New Year!!
You and April always inspire me this year I think I’m going to try and set aside 5000 dollars for my pot of gold savings challenge❤❤ Happy New Year to you Jen and April Thankyou so much for your videos❤🎉🎉
Great video. I’m doing the 10k challenge for 2023. Did meet my goal of 5k for 2022. So I decided to double it for 2023. Happy savings. And great job on completing the 20k challenge
Hi there!! That’s so awesome that you met your goal and now are doubling it!! ✨ I will probably stick with 20k again this year. Hope you are having a wonderful New Year so far! 💛
That’s the best part! I want to inspire you guys! I love it! If someone would have told me last January- you are going to save 20k this year- I would have been like …. 👍 yeah sure. But in February’22 I decided to change everything about my finances and I reached a goal I thought was unattainable. Let me know what you end up doing! 💛💛💛
I’m so glad when someone understands the point of the video- it’s certainly not to brag about saving $20k. It’s exactly what you said- to show that when you are willing to take the time to reflect on what you need to change in order to meet goals you have - it will happen! We did MANY things (that most would never even contemplate) to gain financial freedom. Since making this video, we are now 100% debt free. Nothing was easy. No one handed us anything. We stuck to the plan. You can, too. Make your plan and begin. The hardest part is realizing things need to change and it sounds like you did that! 🙌
Yes! Exactly! Thank you for seeing that part of it! It’s not about showing a pile of cash/ that’s the reward part of it! The true content was the HOW! Thank you!!! 💛💛💛
omg I'M HERE FINALLY I've been on a whole rollercoaster since the new year but I'm here, sis! CONGRATS ON HITTING THIS! you deserve to celebrate your hard work! (if you haven't already ♥)
@@2SisterBees YES it's just been crazy bc we've been focusing on our car and trying to get that down IDK, things just got a little wonky. BUT I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BACK ♥
My habit with Amazon is to put stuff in my cart. If it is a pure want, it stays there for 30 days and if I still want it I can get it. For stuff that is a need but not urgent, then it goes in my cart for a couple of days. This helps so much.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy that you found the inspiration in the video- that’s really what I was trying to convey. That anyone can do it! Maybe not 20k but 1k, 5k… whatever makes sense with your income, just make the decision and try! 💛🐝✨
Congratulations Jenn and Jason!!! I got rid of my z71 Suburban. I had 0% interest and had it 4 years. It was beautiful. Bought it off the showroom floor. I said all this to say… I bought a Kona and I get to and fro just the same. Not looking back!
I love it!!! So you totally get it!! The “American Dream” has been sold to us since birth- I want to make my own dream… live debt free and retire in Key West ! ☀️🌴🌊✌️
New Subbie Here !!! I am so proud of this accomplishment for you and your Husband! This gives me motivation that I can tackle my debt this year and get it all paid off! Amazing Job and Video
Hi! So glad you are here! 💛 We can all 100% get that debt paid off and start saving! I am so excited for the new year to see what everyone does for 2023! 💛✨
Starting my 1 dollar and 5 dollar savings challenge. Been cash stuffing for two months as of now & finding what works and what doesn't. Definitely want to have 6 months expense account & saving 5k with envelope challenge... wish me luck!
Yes! Good luck!! Cash stuffing is a game changer, for sure! Getting out of the box that big marketing wants to keep us in and taking back that control! Yay!!! ✨✨✨
Congratulations, I have a lot of different saving I will be doing but separate from them I want to do 5k just not sure if I am taking on too much, working the numbers tonight!!
I know what you mean- it’s a delicate balance to challenging yourself yet not overextending. I have to decide what we are going to be working on this year!
I’m so glad! I like to try to give as much info as I can on each video. I have had so many ups and downs over the years financially and I’ve learned most things the hard way. If I can help someone avoid making same mistake or help another learn something new- it’s so worth it! 💛💛💛
❤👏👏this was a great video, congrats on finishing the 20k challenge....my goal is my 3 to 6 months( about 5 k) at least for the first half of 2023, I've got a good head start. I'm ready for my no spend challenge in January! Happy New Year to you both and families
What helped me on my Amazon habit is I only order with gift cards. So I have to have the cash to get the cards- so nothing on the credit card and it really cut out the impulse purchases. I have a $1000 emergency fund goal and $1500 investing goal along with debt pay off.
great video with great advice.....usually watching people unstuff and count is a bit boring and i skip to the end but your talk was fantastic...well done
That was awesome! And exactly what i needed to see today. I now have the idea to implement a version of this for myself for this new year. Cheers to your success. And to my future success as well. Thank you for sharing.
Whoo! Way to go! 😄 I’m definitely going to concentrate on getting the 100 Envelope Challenge done this year with the 52 week thrown into the mix again. Happy New Year 2sisterbees and everyone else saving in the New Year! 😀
I love the 100 envelope challenge! I didn’t finish mine in 2022 so it’s a goal for this year! Keep us posted on how you are doing with cash stuffing! 💛
This was my first year doing this - it had its up and downs (as I’m sure you know) but we did it!! My hope is to continue, as well!! Congrats on hitting your big savings goals, as well!! ✨🥂
That is awesome, Congrats on saving 20K!! For 2023 I am thinking about doing my usual 52 weeks, coins, zero out, and debt snowball money savings challenges. These usually add up to be about 4K. I am also thinking about adding a 5K 100 envelope challenge as well. We shall see because I am still paying off debt so...
I wanted to be mad at this bc I don't make enough to save $400 a week. But I couldn't stop grinning from war to ear. Congratulations on the accomplishment. This is a huge motivation for me.
Hahaaa! 🤣🤣 I don’t wanna make anyone mad! 💛
I’m glad you ended up loving it and using it for motivation! That’s Suh-weet!! ✨✨✨

20,000 is crazy! my goal for this year is to save 2,000 while focusing mostly on reducing debt instead of saving
That was my goal for 3 years - get rid of debt! And then paying it off opened up the money for saving! You’re doing great! 💛

You are so welcome and thank you for your positive words! 💛💛💛

I will be stuffing the each pot with 1.00 bills except for the pots that are multiples of 5. So 5,10,15,20 will all be stuffed at face value. Boosting all my savings with the help of my companion cards. So we are gonna see how it goes.
You definitely have your plan and savings goals together! I love that!
That spend/ save game is too cute, right? I love doing that one.
💛💛💛
It's so true with the online buying. I've heard the cart tip several times and use it myself.
I do, too! It works. I forget all about it after a day or two.
Congratulations!!! Wow!! I am doing the 100 envelope challenge , 52 week challenge definitely again. This will be my 3rd year doing both. Going to add at least one more challenge just have not decided which one.
May i suggest the Zero Out challenge? Every week, say on Tuesday you check your checking account balance and move the single dollars and change to your savings account. Ex: $359.25 move the $9.25. It adds up!
I am still over here trying to decide what I’m going to do in the New Year! It’s a hard decision! 💛
I've been watching and been inspired on saving in 2023. Thank you for sharing how fun it is. 💖🎁
Especially going from FL to CA. what a change!, in the past it would have been fine but these days, with how expensive CA is what a dump it is! Good luck!!!!!
Haha! I don’t disagree- I MUCH prefer FL. We actually live in a beautiful community here in Northern CA so we are very lucky on that.
And as far as expensive, omgggg, it is CRAZY!! The prices of everything are INSANE! Again, we are blessed in that area, as well, with the position my husband took. This move has gotten us out of debt, saving our money and building a future. I’d do that anywhere!
Thank you for watching the video! Hope you check out some others! ⭐️🐝⭐️
I’m doing my first savings challenge ever! I’m starting with a 100 envelope challenge. I’m fortunate to not have a huge amount of debt hanging over me, but I’m a shopper. It’s never big amounts so I don’t notice it. My goal is $5050 by the end of the year. I want to start all the challenges and binders but I know I will burn out too quickly if I take too much on at once.
That is very true - starting with just a few instead of going all in with a bunch of different things is the perfect way to make sure you don’t get overwhelmed. Good luck to you in your savings goal for 2023! I’m sure you’ll do it! 💛💛💛
Congratulations that is a huge accomplishment! I've been off work for about 6 months due to some medical issues without pay. Once I go back to work I'm going to focus on saving up my baby emergency fund of $1000.00 then sinking funds and going hard on paying off debt.
WOW, that’s amazing! Great job Jen! 🥳 HAPPY NEW YEAR🥂
Thank you!! Happy New Year to you! ✨🥂💛
Your advice is amazing and 100% accurate!!!!!! Congrats on finishing!!!!!
Congratulations on your savings!! I'm going to be saving a short-term emergency fund long-term emergency fund and a unexpected bill fund a no spend and roll it over into a fund. I also purchased a few scratch off from Etsy I'll be doing those as well I'm so excited I started already. Happy New Year!!
You and April always inspire me this year I think I’m going to try and set aside 5000 dollars for my pot of gold savings challenge❤❤ Happy New Year to you Jen and April Thankyou so much for your videos❤🎉🎉
Great video. I’m doing the 10k challenge for 2023. Did meet my goal of 5k for 2022. So I decided to double it for 2023. Happy savings. And great job on completing the 20k challenge
Hi there!! That’s so awesome that you met your goal and now are doubling it!! ✨
I will probably stick with 20k again this year. Hope you are having a wonderful New Year so far! 💛
Money ASMR at the end😍🙌🏼! Amazing job 💜 congratulations and thank you for inspiring the heck out of me right now !!
That’s the best part! I want to inspire you guys! I love it!
If someone would have told me last January- you are going to save 20k this year- I would have been like …. 👍 yeah sure.
But in February’22 I decided to change everything about my finances and I reached a goal I thought was unattainable.
Let me know what you end up doing! 💛💛💛
Major congrats 👏👏👏 to you. Go YOU!!
Thank you so much!! About halfway to doing it again this year! 🙌🐝💛
Congrats Jenn ✨✨🎉🎉 That is awesome😍
Congratulations, I know this was a struggle, but you made me rethink my spending and sacrifices I must do. Thank you for making this video🎉🎉🎉
I’m so glad when someone understands the point of the video- it’s certainly not to brag about saving $20k. It’s exactly what you said- to show that when you are willing to take the time to reflect on what you need to change in order to meet goals you have - it will happen! We did MANY things (that most would never even contemplate) to gain financial freedom. Since making this video, we are now 100% debt free. Nothing was easy. No one handed us anything. We stuck to the plan.
You can, too. Make your plan and begin. The hardest part is realizing things need to change and it sounds like you did that! 🙌
❤
Wow $20K ... girl you were COMMITTED! I love your tips to saving each month... It's so hard but very necessary! AMAZING unstuffing COngrats!
Yes! Exactly! Thank you for seeing that part of it! It’s not about showing a pile of cash/ that’s the reward part of it! The true content was the HOW! Thank you!!! 💛💛💛
Great accomplishment.🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m right behind you. My first goal is 10k. 😊Happy New Year!
Awesome, amazing, wonderful 🎉🎉✨👍 congratulations 🎉🎈
That's amazing and so inspiring! I’m starting a savings challenge for the first time this year and this has me pumped lol
I love comments like this!! You are inspiring ME!! Yes!! 💛💛💛
omg I'M HERE FINALLY I've been on a whole rollercoaster since the new year but I'm here, sis! CONGRATS ON HITTING THIS! you deserve to celebrate your hard work! (if you haven't already ♥)
Girl! I’ve been wondering about you! Glad to see you BACK! 💛
@@2SisterBees YES it's just been crazy bc we've been focusing on our car and trying to get that down IDK, things just got a little wonky. BUT I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BACK ♥
Main focus in 2023 is to work on my debt. But I do plan on doing some small savings challenges, like the $1 challenge and penny challenge.
So happy for you. Biggest congrats. Kinda jealous over here. I wanna save up to atleast $10,000. Have a great New Years 2sisterbees.
MY GOODNESS...CONGRATULATIONS. 😊 for sharing and letting us know it is possible.
My habit with Amazon is to put stuff in my cart. If it is a pure want, it stays there for 30 days and if I still want it I can get it. For stuff that is a need but not urgent, then it goes in my cart for a couple of days. This helps so much.
I think I am going to start waiting the 30 days, too.
I mean, really- I don’t “need” anything. It’s all a bunch of stuff. I like the longer wait time.
Yay, congratulations, Jenn and Jason🥳🎊 👏 That's amazing 😁
If we really put our minds set yo saving we can accomplish anything! Just hearing your story is inspiring Ty ❤
Thank you so much! I’m so happy that you found the inspiration in the video- that’s really what I was trying to convey. That anyone can do it! Maybe not 20k but 1k, 5k… whatever makes sense with your income, just make the decision and try!
💛🐝✨
Congratulations Jenn and Jason!!! I got rid of my z71 Suburban. I had 0% interest and had it 4 years. It was beautiful. Bought it off the showroom floor. I said all this to say… I bought a Kona and I get to and fro just the same. Not looking back!
I love it!!! So you totally get it!! The “American Dream” has been sold to us since birth- I want to make my own dream… live debt free and retire in Key West ! ☀️🌴🌊✌️
@@2SisterBees just said that in last comment to you. Great minds! 😆. Yes, debt free is the way to be Sis! Almost there! 🎉 🎊 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!🎆🎈🎊
Holy canolli! I’ve never seen that much cash before. Congratulations on saving 20k!!!
Me, either! A years worth of sacrifice was so worth it!!! 💛💛💛
WOW I'm so ready to get started Happy New Year enjoy your savings I think 🤔 it's going to the RV
New Subbie Here !!! I am so proud of this accomplishment for you and your Husband! This gives me motivation that I can tackle my debt this year and get it all paid off! Amazing Job and Video
Hi! So glad you are here! 💛
We can all 100% get that debt paid off and start saving! I am so excited for the new year to see what everyone does for 2023! 💛✨
Congratulations on the savings!
Main focus for 2023 for me and my family is going to be emergency fund, and debt payments galore lol thanks for always being so inspiring 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Yesss! Get rid of those debt payments! That was holding us back from everything!
Happy New Year! 💛✨🥂
Whoop Whoop that is Awesome! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Starting my 1 dollar and 5 dollar savings challenge. Been cash stuffing for two months as of now & finding what works and what doesn't. Definitely want to have 6 months expense account & saving 5k with envelope challenge... wish me luck!
Yes! Good luck!! Cash stuffing is a game changer, for sure!
Getting out of the box that big marketing wants to keep us in and taking back that control! Yay!!! ✨✨✨
This video is so satisfying love the sound effects it’s definitely motivating to save and try to make to that oh so covenant 20k
Glad you liked the video! Thanks so much for watching! 💛💛
Congratulations, I have a lot of different saving I will be doing but separate from them I want to do 5k just not sure if I am taking on too much, working the numbers tonight!!
I know what you mean- it’s a delicate balance to challenging yourself yet not overextending.
I have to decide what we are going to be working on this year!
Wow. I am impressed.
Fantastic! I'm sure you are so proud of yourself, I would be! You have inspired me to push for a $10K savings by the end of 2023!
I love it!!! Yes!!!! ✨🥂💛
Oh I've been waiting for this!! Unreal!
It really is!! Crazy!! 💛✨
Happy New Year💚
i do that thing where i add things to cart and i dont buy them right away... all the time! and loved this video!! thank you so much!
I’m so glad! I like to try to give as much info as I can on each video. I have had so many ups and downs over the years financially and I’ve learned most things the hard way. If I can help someone avoid making same mistake or help another learn something new- it’s so worth it! 💛💛💛
Way to go! Happy New Year to you!
This is absolutely amazing!!! Wow!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!♥️♥️
A Happy and prosperous New Year to you as well!!!
Thank you!! You, as well!! ✨🥂
Wise and brave decisions.
❤👏👏this was a great video, congrats on finishing the 20k challenge....my goal is my 3 to 6 months( about 5 k) at least for the first half of 2023, I've got a good head start. I'm ready for my no spend challenge in January! Happy New Year to you both and families
Yesss! I am also so ready for the No Spend! Idk if my family is ready but …. 😂😂
wow! congratulations. thanks for sharing the tips for savings too!!! amazing.
Wow!!! What an achievement! Congratulations!!!
Thank you so much!
Awesome 👏🏻 Happy New Year’s 🎊
Happy new year!! Thanks for watching! 💛✨💛✨
What helped me on my Amazon habit is I only order with gift cards. So I have to have the cash to get the cards- so nothing on the credit card and it really cut out the impulse purchases. I have a $1000 emergency fund goal and $1500 investing goal along with debt pay off.
Congratulations!! 🎉
great video with great advice.....usually watching people unstuff and count is a bit boring and i skip to the end but your talk was fantastic...well done
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that! I try to keep you guys first! Make sure it’s giving you something! 💛💛
Congratulations!!!!

Way to go! What a great accomplishment.
I have saved $10,000 a year for the past 3 years. Congratulations to you!!!!!
This was my first year doing this - it had its up and downs (as I’m sure you know) but we did it!! My hope is to continue, as well!! Congrats on hitting your big savings goals, as well!! ✨🥂
Love this video! Very informative and motivational!
Well thank you! I’m glad you thought so. 💛
That is awesome, Congrats on saving 20K!! For 2023 I am thinking about doing my usual 52 weeks, coins, zero out, and debt snowball money savings challenges. These usually add up to be about 4K. I am also thinking about adding a 5K 100 envelope challenge as well. We shall see because I am still paying off debt so...
I am also going to start that zero out challenge! I love that one! 💛
