    There is literally a line of broke men waiting to pick up their wives and girlfriends who work the graveyard shift every morning at my healthcare facility. These women are so broke, they share the fancy car with their man. They work extra graveyard shifts to enjoy fancy vacations with their man. They work extra shifts to gamble money with their man. When you ask them what their man does for a living they say, he is on disability, he owns his own business, he is retired, he is a student in school, he takes care of the kids and extended family. It's so sad to see how much these women give up, in order to have a broke man in their lives. Eventually you hear that the broke man was cheating on them, stole their money, divorced them and getting alimony/child support, or straight up ghosted them.

      Lol I'm telling you everything you just mentioned I hear and have heard at every facility been a nurse almost 18 year's this is real yes everyone situation is different but just letting someone use you like that to be able to say I got a man it's sad I see someone who can't be alone it's really sad those nurses are never happy their usually very negative at work, moody or just rude hard to get alone with because their home life unstable.

      @@Lisa-kz7vwThese nurses are beyond unhappy. They are downright miserable and exhausted. It is like their man is their pimp, hustling them for a bigger and bigger paycheck. Some of these nurses never take a day off. They work two jobs, and only take a day off if it is paid PTO.

    I’ve been a RN for decades and I’m single as a dollar bill. Recently had a guy tell me he can no longer talk to be because of he doesn’t feel like a man even talking to me. He’s on very very hard times (getting groceries from the church, no car insurance, threatening repo, back child support, lost his job, etc). I just wished him well and pivoted. I’m not the Hope House, I’m not a “nurse with a purse” and I won’t be taken advantage of. I’m too busy trying to get these educational, personal and spiritual goals checked off. Sheeeesssssh!

    I worked at a technical school, and they had a two-year nursing program and the instructor said that men want to marry women who are nurses. There was a nurse who completed nursing school (the school that I worked at) her husband kept having her apply for different jobs and he would tell her that the job you have is not good enough for you. The instructor got tired of writing letters of recommendations for her. Her husband was using her.

One thing I do is buy myself some quality uniforms and work shoes, they are comfortable and the last. I do have a supportive husband that’s a go-getter like me.

    Omg! The Starbucks! I’m a Case Manager RN and I ALWAYS see Starbucks, Jamba Juice, in the drink section. And when I go to the break room lol it’s like a smorgasbord! I make my own coffee and cook and bring my lunch. I’ve been a RN for years. I did have a bum fiancé when I was a new nurse and got rid of him. I stopped telling men I was a nurse when I first get to know them. When I tried online dating I had to take that I was a nurse out of my profile. I know several nurses who are the breadwinner and their husbands or boyfriends are stay at home dads or just stay at home period with or without kids. And oh my goodness I know several nurses who are paying alimony too here in California. I do travel a lot but I do it for business (I have several businesses for home decor) and it’s a business expense. I also do not work extra. I have several streams of income now in addition to my part time nurse job.

They thought she was the kindness, sweetest, softest, easy to deal with person untill she set boundaries and then they called her user, abuser, cold, sociopath, narc, psychopath. Maybe I should write a book of what my life experiences in the last 2 years have been. And my sister in tech...... her ex husband got her wrapped up in medicaid fraud.

    As you ran down the line I could only think of my friend who is a travel nurse. Wanna talk about team too much? Here we go. She eats out all the time. Just bought a 6 bedroom home here in Florida. She drives an SUV and a Jaguar. She doesn't like to drive to her assignments so she flies to her destination and pays someone to drive the SUV. Then pay to fly them home. When the assignment is over she does the opposite. She flies back to Florida at least 1-2 times per month. Now she wants to do a girl's trip to Dubai!

I think people nowadays just wants to be apart of the trend crowd not me. I have a IPhone it’s not the latest one and you know what who cares. I rather be debt free then broke. That’s just like people going to a top notch nursing school because of the name instead of looking at there budget. I’m at a community college taking my pre reqs paying way less than a 1,000 for a class. I’m not trying to go to a private school just to become a nurse or saying I went to this big name school. I just want to get accepted into Nursing school and come out with less debt or no debt. I rather go to a school that has a awesome NCLEX pass rate then a big name school okay.

I've calculated in the last 2 years, I've spent 6-8k on takeout + 50lbs weight gain. That's a new car, new motorcycle, dream vacation, emergency fund etc etc.
    I've had a mindset shift and I'm now committed to reversing this. For the next 2 years, NO MORE takeout. No more starbucks. I want my extra cash sitting in my bank account not around my waist! Thank you for making these videos.

    You are a Leader Ms Tawanda! You make a great wage! Most people live at their wage and or way above their means. Example: Buy a bigger house, a much nicer car, etc. Which uses up that great wage! What should be happening and requires discipline and consistency is living way below your wages and having more money to put into investment vehicles that can then give you much more options like..buying your independence back. Like taking a year off and doing what really stokes your fire. It could be as simple as working around your home for that year. Why, because you have no debt and your investments/savings are taking care of you. I tell my grown boys that only get into debt if that debt can make them money otherwise they become indentured servants to that debt. Its all about total freedom and giving yourself more options. Keep learning and leading.

    What is helpful is to have 4 accounts that are automatically deposited from your paycheck:
    1. Retirement
    2. Savings
    3. Entertainment
    4. Vacations
    You will build up money in each area very fast because it's automatically pulled out of your paycheck.
    Also, pay your mortgage and car payments every 2 weeks that equals to an extra payment every year.
