I love the fact that we can embrace low income and not act like it’s something to be hidden or ashamed of. I’m proud of the skills I have and of the ones I have learned here.💝💝💝
Amen
Good For You Tami

I second that :-)
Agree 100%
Same 😊😊
My grandparents were poor however they raised 13 kids. They had a clean house, they had food, they had clean clothes that were ironed. My grandfather worked as a mechanic and often worked out of state to support the family. My grandmother stayed home took in ironing to make extra money. They made it work.
My grandma had 18 kids ,2 died one at birth ,one later ,
My gran kept home and looked after them all
From what I can remember my grandad wasn't much help but she did an amazing job
When ever she went into labour with one the eldest would go for the midwife towards the end of birth ,she would hang on on her own as long as she could so wouldn't cost as much
A lot she birthed herself completely
Bless her ,
She fed them on cheap meals, and for supper it was toast an dripping ,
She was a wonderful woman

Just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your older videos from a few years ago. So informative, humble, & relatable. Many thanks.
Thank you, Tessie. This 67 year old woman is living on a fixed income. I refuse to be labeled. I have had money, and I have been poor. I will rise above my circumstances and be proud of myself.
Good For You Judi🙂,
We Shouldn't Be Defined By Our Income,
Blessings
I was born poor and we looked poor. Old vehicles and used clothes. We were always clean but there was never any money for school pictures and field trips so the other kids made fun of us. I married a man from a upper middle class family and trying to live like he was used to threw us into bankruptcy when we ended up with a bunch of hospital bills. I am very low income now but I'm happy with what I have and we have what we need.
Me too honey....all my life.....I realize now....we were/are VERY RICH !!!
❤❤😂
Tessie even millionaires know it's not about how much you make that counts, it's how much you get to keep that matters.
My Daddy use to say "The Lord surely loves poor people because He sure made a lot of them." In truth, we learn to depend more on the Lord than the rich.
Amen to that.
Low income can still walk in grace, clean, ironed, smile and walk in the grace God gave us! Love and blessings ❤
Well said!
Our income changed in a period of 3 months in 2020. My husband went in the hospital with covid the day before Thanksgiving. He was in ICU on a vent and in a medical induced coma. He was in there till February 2021. He almost passed away 4 times. They came in on December 23rd and wanted to take him off life support. It was a terrifying time in my life. Without God i never would of made it. It took all our money to get him home. We are self employed so no jobs came in while he was in the hospital. When he came out he couldn't work he couldn't even walk. So we are living a different life now then we had. Not because of something we did but because of circumstances beyond our control. So i totally get it.
What A Terrible Time That Must Have Been For The Both Of You Auntshel !
You Have Both Come Through It By GOD'S Grace.
Blessings To You And Your Husband For The Future.

Wow! I love how you said the government shouldn't be labeling who is low income or not! LOL so true!!! I will proudly tell your whole comment section that about 20 years ago, my husband and I were living on $850 per month. We didn't have children yet but we had some pets and we found ourselves unable to pay our $1000 gas bill (they had just removed regulations on the gas companies and the price skyrocketed). For a year and a half, we had to heat our water using pots and pans and put that water into a solar shower we hung in the shower. We used candles and space heaters to keep our freezing home warm by staying in one room and tucking towels under the door. We learned so much by having nothing - including how to make food last forever by stretching proteins among rice and other grains and I can honestly say we are ready now for whatever may happen. I have no shame about that time because honestly it was some of the most entertaining times of our life - sleeping in sleeping bags on top of the mattress, the heated water poured into a bath, laughing about how a bag of rice lasted us months! We look back to that time fondly and I can honestly recommend that everyone spend some time in the "have nots" department and they will see that it isn't about what you have, but how you use it. That sounded bad lol but I think everyone here knows what I mean. Blessings Tessie and the rest of your viewers!
It doesn’t matter what you have, it’s about the person you are and how well you where taught. I’ve seen rich people that were filthy and poor people so clean you could eat off their floors. You can be poor and have dignity and cleanliness.
Have a blessed night everyone!
Hope That You Have A Blessed Night Too Willowsgarden 🙂,
Blessings,
Andrea
I grew up where I did not know that we were poor. Until I met my husband . I was 15 Ray was 16. .His parents had matching dishes . And they went out to dinner on Saturdays . wow I never even knew what pizza or a hamburger was lol however55 years later we are married and we have 2 grown men who are very well off so Ray and I are very blessed. Also two beautiful granddaughters who are so talented. Thank the Good Lord.
You Are Very Blessed Indeed,
GOD Bless,
Andrea
Lack of money ,rich in morals,values, creativity, humor, gifts and talents... skills, hobbies family 🌹 friends heart ❤️ kindness gratitude, patience 🙏🏾💞🙏🏾
It's not how much money you have that matters, it's how you live your life. I have relatives that made much more money than we did and now they are broke and we are living comfortably. Thank you for sharing!
Teresa being a peacemaker is very important. My mother use to day all the time, "its out of your control"and that meant she wanted me to let it go and not let things people say or do bother you.
I was talking to a courtesy clerk at the grocery store. I asked him if he really could make a living wage doing what he did for a living. He proudly declared he was making $18.00 an hour and was even able to set aside some money every paycheck! It is expensive where I live. Affordable housing is an issue. I wanted to ask him more about how he makes ends meet but I did not want to be rude. he loves his life and makes his paycheck work. I'm happy for him.
I've been low income most of my life and it seems to me that a lot of my coping mechanism has to do with being content with myself and refusing to be drug into the competition of acquiring stuff. I don't think of myself as poor. I am proudly frugal and live a simple life. I think it takes courage to not be part of that worldly system. Besides, none of this stuff belongs to us anyway. It's all the Lord's and we are only stewards. ❤
So Well Said Christi🙂
Blessings
It's what you make of it, and access in a beneficial useful impactful and gracious 🙌🏾🌹 way.......
Hi Tessie. I like the thought of bringing dignity to low income living-whoever said that to you likely meant it as a compliment. You definitely do that! I’m proud of you for sharing your past financial decisions that changed your lifestyle. You help so many people realize that our income can change for many reasons - and sometimes very quickly-but you can still have a joyful dignified life. Watching your channel brings me joy. Your low income life is actually very rich-in love, in laughter. You have food in your pantry, a roof over your head and your health and that makes you one of the richest people in the world.
I always figured that that was the norm... we raised our family poor but lots of people thought we were well off because we took good care of what we had and used what we learned to better ourselves....
Excellent video.. Low income is a realistic term. Thank you for trying to dissolve the negativity!! We grew up with very little but I never knew it. My parents were proud of everything we had and were able to do. I never felt like there we had a lack of dignity and I am so glad you are expressing this and trying to break that down for people!!
MB was here.
Agree 👍🏼
Being humble 🙏🏾 and appreciative 🥰 of what you have❤

You are a treasure and rich beyond measure. Money should not be a measure of wealth but our world is way too materialistic.
No shame in poverty. Poverty does not stop anyone to be kind, to be generous, to be happy, to be content and to be proud of what they can achieve with what they have. At the end of the day I believe there is more unhappiness and discontenment in rich people than in poor people who refuse to think that only money bring happiness. God did not make money!!!
Good Morning Tessie, Sisters, Brothers, and Friends, Wish you all a wonderful blessed Sunday filled with Gods joy and Happiness :-) Remember to pray for one another and for all around the world :-) God Bless You ! Love you all :-) Keep smiling be safe :-)
Hello Tessie...I simply adore your kitchen.
It warms my heart so much...❤️
Low income could hit any of us at any time. We should be careful what we say about it. Life is what we make it. We should never be ashamed of what we do or don’t have. When you work hard for what you have you appreciate it a lot more. Have a great evening everyone.

That’s a beautiful quilt on your table and love that kitchen chair. Yeah, I sold my suburban, bought a cheap car so I could buy Christmas presents for my family one year. Now I know lots of people that are having money problems. It’s worse than ever but we’re all making it still. You’re not alone and we love watching your channel. Stay well, stay safe, and may God Bless you and your family. Good night and good morning.
... keeping prayers 🤲🏾 consistent... God is a provider.
It takes more strength, bravery and intellect to live within one’s means than it does to follow the pack. That renders a form of dignity all its own which sadly many today don’t recognize.
This was one of your best videos- great message!
My late father gave me his older car that he loved. Now, I love it too, because it reminds me of him. When I have been asked about why I am driving that "old car", I tell them them who gave it to me and why. They shut up really quick.👍😇
Thank you Tessie for responding to my video. You are so kind and an inspiration!
I grew ùp low income and rich in family. I am still low income at 69. I live in a HUD apartment for the elderly. Thank you for dispelling what is low income. I am greatful for my low income housing.

Thank you Tessie for sharing we have had no income for over a year now and yes we live in a tiny house one bedroom and a bathroom and a kitchen that's it and I'm happy trying to grow food as much as I can we move from Canada to Mexico
Amen Tessie a great word of encouragement for someone who might be in the transition. We'll said bravo
Being Thankful:) good video.
My brothers grew up with white tee shirts, at least for awhile. My mom would iron them...
Your kind and loving heart shines through even more in this video. 100% agree with this thought provoking topic.
I enjoy how you teach your audience how to do things. Skills are an asset!!
Totally agree Tessie 🥰
We have had to all learn to live a different way... we have had alot and lost even more.. but it makes you realize what is priority..low income doesn't mean poor or whatever..it means living within your means and not beyond! Pretty much we are all living low income now due to prices rising!
Thank you Tessy I support you
I don't have much in material things but it's mine. I love the way you have fixed things you can loose yourself in just sitting and enjoying and taken in all the treasures you have. I am looking forward to the end of January so I can put in my pepper seeds. Could you tell me where you buy your herbal seeds? Keep on going Tessie you don't put on airs. You fit in with my friends any time.
Thank you Tessie x we are low income, im disabled and my partner has cancer. But were doing just fine on a low income. Like you we are happy with our garden and each other 😊
When Illness Strikes. It Certainly Puts Everything Into Perspective Doesn't It.
I Am So Glad That you Both Have That Deep Happiness And Contentment That Is PRICELESS!
GOD Bless,
Andrea
I did the same I left my mom's side of the family angry turned my back on them they could always see my wrongs covered their wrongs and I was not a materialistic person they were all show we were put down made fun off
Amen sister Tessie, So well spoken. I enjoyed reading everyone's comments as well, They really touched my heart. I have no material riches or money but I do have peace with God and my sons love me, This is all that matters in my life. God bless you and the other subscribers 🙏.
Tessie, I am low income being home taking care of mom and house it's not a curse for me it's just making do with what I have and I find I am just as happy with my life not being in debt and just enjoying life :-)
Owen- You Are To Be Praised My Brother.
Not Only Have You Devoted Your Life To Taking Care Of Your Mom,
You Have Also Found Happiness And Contentment In Your Life!
Not Many People Can Claim That!

God bless you dear Tessie! I’ve been struggling since COVID not being able to work, but I finally understood it’s about not what you have, but what you do that can help impact the world in a positive light. Keep being you and never lose the faith! People in my spiritual community often wonder how I live, and my reply is bare minimum.
Over the years I have learned less is more! I often say the world needs more love and kindness and less hatred and judgment. Be the light you wish to change. Maia
I really enjoyed this little talk Tessie great video 😊
Been kinda in that spot! Family hounding my husband but I Always wished I had stood up and shut their crap down. Just pist!
I live in an old town, everyone here is just about the same...
So true, I'm sharing this video on my Facebook. It's just like I always say, you never know someone's story. Thank you ❤️
Very well said,Tessie! I agree with everything you talked about. I, myself feel, that if you made something yourself instead of going out and buying it, you feel much better about it. I felt it myself when somebody asked me once where I bought that. And when I said I made it myself and they said wow, that was absolutely delicious, I felt so proud of myself. It's like that with everything. And always feel good about your life. And after all, it's not about all the material things in life we have, it's about all the people in our life that we can share things with that makes me happy. Real friends know that. Have a great weekend! Many greetings from your friend from Idaho.❤😊❤😊❤
I grew up poor, my husband then boyfriend did not. It was a real struggle at first. I remember one evening he was so proud of himself he cooked up the 1 pound of hamburger and added the jar of pasta sauce to it and presented me with a spaghetti dinner. I lost my mind. The sauce already had meat in it and the burger was going to make a small meat loaf and something else. We had spaghetti every night that week. He learned that groceries were finite. Its funny now, but it prepared him for the great potato diet that was to come. We are still together after 40 years, thankfully he learned valuable lessons and we discuss every purchase and if something can be repaired so it can limp along until we can find a replacement. Not everything needs to be new, in fact many used items are much better.
Thank you for sharing this . Tessie I wanted to say something to you. You and Kenny are blessed and maybe at one time you had more in the past but honestly you have more now. You are debt free and you own land and have a cute home. I totally get where your coming from because my husband was in the air force for 10 years and we have been married almost 35 this June. So we know the times when things were lean for us . after our kids were born we had to sell one of our cars.Then later the other one and drive a old beater of a car. We could not afford a car payment then. our housing was taken care of by the military and our utilities were covered living in military housing. So thank goodness for that. Yet staying home and only have the one income I could not spend like I used. Yet our needs were met and once in a while we may get to eat out at a cheap meal thing. Yet I found out about a thrift store on base that was free to anyone. All ranks of the military and I have fun going in there finding things and it being free. Once you got tired of it or had things you did not want you just donated it back. So so awesome and that helped me with the desire to want to thrift when I could not afford it. I think the world really misses it when they put so much into image and also into what neighborhood you live in or how much you make. As Christians we know that life is not about the stuff. we all will die some day and the stuff will be left behind. We can enjoy it but not love it above God. You see that and I think those who have never had hard times sometimes do not know how to appreciate when they have better times. You know how to appreciate it. You know it was like to have more and also what it is like to have tight times. So it makes you more thankful for the simple things like a free item at the thrift store. I am the same way. So Tessie I am glad you talked about this. I think the world puts so much on image. Yet the silly thing is people many times are living outside their means putting tons of stress on themselves to keep a certain image. I am sorry that many were so thoughtless at that one time when Kenny had to sell his truck. That shows the wonderful man you are married too. His family mattered more to him than a posession and that shows a true hard working man. So many times as humans we can put stuff before what is most important. Have a blessed evening Tessie.
Preach it Miss Tessie!! I love you.
Thanks Tessie. This was an excellent message to share now. Blessings for all 🙏🙏🙏
Hi yall😊
Hi Tami 🙂
Hi tami :-)
Hello, tami!
Hi tami 😊
Hi Tami
Good morning Tessie- Like you I was raised typical middle class. My mother was a nurse and dad worked at our local creamery. One side of my family were farmers, the other side were millionaires. It did not take me long as a child to notice the farmers were by far, happier! All that affluence did not buy happiness or fix every problem. Plus there was a strong focus on the material side of living. To me, that had a hollow ring. There is this saying, " Find the balance". I went on to attend art school on a full scholarship, have a career in electronics for 30 years and at the same time, be a small homesteader. I liked farming and gardening for many reasons. One was security, should I lose my job. Electronics jobs were not stable. This lifestyle has been good to me. Now we are living on my husband's family farm in semi-retirement. I pick up small jobs, such as teaching sustainability and would like to explore art again. If our national economy tanks, it is going to be up to the individual towns to rally for the lifestyle they want to protect and keep going. It would take a cooperative community effort. I would much rather have this lifestyle than a fancy swimming pool, expensive clothes and jewelry or black tie parties. You have presented it well Tessie. ~ Diane
Tessie, there is an old saying, "you have friends as long as you have a dollar in your pocket." In other words, friends are only there as long as you have money. We have gone broke more times than I would like to admit. However, what I have found is GOD provides, and we learn a valuable lesson. The lesson is leaning on GOD, more so! I would rather be poor and happy, than rich with pretend friends. This is very thought provoking. Everything we have comes from the LORD. So, whatever I have is HIS already, and that thought makes me extremely happy! Just like the widow's mite, we can give freely, because we understand that it belongs solely to GOD to begin with. I have tremendous peace being poor, but as my grandpa used to say, he was "family rich and pocketbook poor." In that, I am rich in family.
What an honest and powerful message. This video struck me, thank you Tessie.
Loved the video thanks . Have a blessed night friend
I remember how Oprah's audience reacted to Amy D and her TIGHTWAD GAZETTE years ago. I was a back-to-the-lander and somehow knew that the big mortgage/carpayment/truckpayment/insurance on and on, was a trap. There is a freedom in simple living.
Tessie you are smart and strong.and watching and listening to your videos is making me a stronger woman. ❤

Low income or poor living is not dugrading they are degrading their attitude their put downs
I started teaching this September because we couldn’t afford me to stay home anymore. The principal asked us to go around, introduce ourselves and tell what fun thing we did over the summer. Everyone had vacations to tell about and I had VBS. Hey, we got to tell the good news though and that’s far better than any vacation!
❤
My dad always preached to me stay in to what you can afford don't go into dept debt god bless him so right. Luv pa
I think being poor makes people more resourceful. There was a time I didn't have a stove. Had to cook everything in an electric skillet. Our water pump broke down so we flushed the toilet w 5 gal bucket of water. When I had a baby I took maternity leave w no income from my job. I look back on the hard times not w sadness but w pride that we pulled through. It makes you stronger.
Tessie Thank You 🙏 You have a Beautiful Soul ❤
I believe millions of American's are one pay check from becoming low income. I for one have been live on low income when my hubby was in the Navy believe back in the late 60's it was low but I never felt low income because maybe because all our friends were in the same standard of living. I always try to living within our income. I always had food and house and a car sometimes maybe only one car. Today were retired for about 17 years and yet were in a much better place today than most of our friends why because we did plan for our old age. So glad we did think way ahead of our future not live for each day on what we want instead we live for what we needed.
Well said!!!
I love your channel Tessie. You are so wise and honest ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Am with you tessy
So well said, Tessie; I completely agree with what you said. The huge shift in our situation has brought tremendous change to my household. We may be considered low income by society's standards, but I feel like we are living more abundantly now on far less. I'm grateful for the skills I've learned, am continuing to learn, and for the creativity and self-sufficiency those changes brought into my life and my family's lives.
Thanks for sharing! People always wants to label others. The rich & the poor put each other down. Some think they are better than others! And others are jealous & talk about good people who have more! All we need to do is love each other as Christ loves us❣️Blessings to you & yours❣️❣️
When we create an abundant life from the least blessings we are the best stewards.
Thank you so much for this Tessie, I am on a fixed income and all of my skills growing up poor in the mountains of WV serve me well these days Hugs~ Lea
I grew up the same tessy it's what you had what mattered I disagree
I’ve found in my life that the people I thought would stand by me ( family members) were the ones who loved to kick me when I was down. Because they were family I tried to forgive but after years of betrayal and abuse it was past time to remove them from my life!
Bravo!!! I love everything you said!
Amen to all you are saying! You are so right!! Thank you!
Sorry, but I had to pause to vacuum up all that glitter from my gingerbread 🏘 houses. Lol
You go Tessie that's the Truth! We live in a little 960 sq foot house with cedar siding and drive old vehicles that are paid for except for the newest one we had to get because we live in the country and have to drive 30 to 70 miles to get groceries etc. We had to start all over again years ago and it wasn't easy. Love your videos ❤️. God Bless you all!
Tessie,I am 75& worked 2 jobs ,or more most of my life..I always appreciate what I had accomplished. Now I just paid off my 13 yr old Mazda..I bought 6 yrs ago.I am retired at 72& really wish I could work. I can't ( no Discs in bac).Now days we live pay day to pay day. Own home,no fancy remodeling it was my moms..been here 13 plus yrs. People are going nuts around me& I feal sad,for myself..wanted to be able to do more,but life isn't about that.

You can have billions of dollars (Warren Buffet) and still live frugally. Great video,Tessie!!!
You know what Tessie. I grew up in a similar situation we were considered middle class when I was growing up since I became an adult for my early twenties till now I don't care what people think of me I don't care if they don't like my clothing my hair or anything else I do what is best for me if they want to call me a poor slob that's their problem I may be for and not have a lot of money but I'm happy with my life a lot of people with money are not happy
Great message, Tessie!😊
You are quite resourceful and I am learning all I can from yoi.
