I pulled out drawers to clean a used dresser from a consignment shop and came up with an envelope that had a graduation card and 350.00 in it. I was able to find the recipient and return the money. She had been looking for it for over a year.
Doing the right thing when no one is looking. Your are RS raised you well
You did well susan. 😊
What a kind soul
In this day in age, you brought me to tears for your goodness. God bless you.
This comment made me cry! That is beautiful!🥰
Congratulations! You are my inspiration!
I am a medical student that has been flipping furniture to pay off my student loans since the beginning of the pandemic. Hopefully I’ll make it just like you.
You will! (: Thanks for your support!
stop having such worries
you can make it .
Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?
SAME!!!! I’m about to start a couple of pieces this spring.
Time to start a furniture flipping channel 🙂
Maybe several of you medical students, residents, etc...should bind together and create a channel.
This is Aaaaaamazing! Now you can flip to buy a house...flip to go on vacation... flip to help others just like you! Skies the limit
That's the plan! Thanks for supporting!
Girly!!! You now open a Roth IRA and you learn to invest!!! There are so many incredible TH-camrs that will teach you the way. Oh, the places you will go!
Thanks, Susan!
100% agree! You could flip your way to $6k each year, maxing out a Roth IRA every January. I've had a lot of success with the company Vanguard (I'm a school psychologist, not a rep for them in any way). My Roth IRA has averaged at about a 12% rate of return over the last 6 years since I set one up.
So inspiring! Y’all are amazing! Keep up the great work and congrats!
Thank you, Christina! (: Neiman and I appreciate your support!!!
you are welcome...
Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?
I actually cried... That's awesome! Good job! And your neighbor is awesome!
Me too!
Awe, thanks Erica! (: I appreciate your support!
So did I! 😭😭
I did too!!
Me, too!
OMG why am I crying about her paying off her student loan. Congratulations. You really do wonderful work.
Congratulations!!! You are Awesome!!! I work for a school district and love the idea of you supporting Teachers! I have been flipping furniture for several years now. I started to help pay for my kids college. My last child is going to graduate next month!...debt free!
That is awesome! What a story! (: Thanks for your support!
Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?
I love that you’re helping other teachers. My roommate in college has been teaching for close to 30 years now, but she graduated with students loans. We owe it to you and all the teachers out there. You teach and love our kids, nieces, nephews and grandchildren!
that’s amazing
Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?
I want to personally thank you for being such a being of love and light in this time. We need more light workers and teachers that are passionate about helping the next generation of teachers.
Wow, thank you for the kind words and for supporting! (:
So proud of you. Who knew that this journey would become so much more than getting out of debt.
Thank you!
Congratulations!!! How wonderful that your neighbor was the "winning" client. I really admire your ingenuity and determination. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Thank you so much!
Hi, I have a tip for you. Whenever you sand an item or piece of furniture you should ALWAYS sand in the direction of the grain. No circular motion!!! It will leave circular marks on the wood & will show thru the stain. Hope yhis helps you. Good Luck!!
Absolutely !
That's so amazing! That's so fun it was your neighbor who was so supportive. Congratulations!
Yes it was! Couldn't have planned this! Thanks for your support!
OMG, you got me! It broke my heart when you said that it was going to be your last video! Don’t do this to me!
Congratulations again!
Hahah! Got ya! We're here to stay!
So glad I found your channel! I’ve been considering flipping furniture for extra money. We are DROWNING in student loans!!! Four total with an estimated total of close to $90,000! 😳 Your videos have convinced me to just jump in and do it! Congrats on paying off your loan!
I am SO happy for you! I found your channel at the beginning of your debt/TH-cam journey and I’ve been so impressed by your hard work and motivation! ❤️ You are such an inspiration for people like me who are also trying to pay off debt! Thank you for your incredible content!
I'm so happy for you Lauren. What an amazing achievement in four months...So proud of you that you are looking to help others also.
Time to put this on the big screen 📺😊
Our time will come! (:
Word up !
I was like “what?! She’s not doing anymore videos?!” Lol! You got me! Congratulations!
Way to go, Lauren! I am so proud of you. It has been amazing to watch you on this journey! I love your goal and your heart for helping teachers pay off their student loans. Congratulations!
Thank you so much, Molly! Thank you for your support! (:
I have been watching and learning from you for some time now and you are an inspiration to all "hard working" people. Instead of whining about your student loan debt and waiting for the government or someone to forgive it....you went to work and accomplished it yourself. I was as excited as your great neighbor who purchased the "payoff piece" to watch this episode. Congratulations and continue to be the person you are. Through your channel I feel I know you and am proud to do so. Your students through the years will definitely remember "their kindergarten teacher"! Keep painting and I will keep watching.....
congratulations! I love watching you. As a mom of three college students who are doing it dept free so far, I applaud your tenacity in paying off your debt as fast as possible. This video made me a little weepy, but happy tears for you!
I suggest using a sharp wood scraper to remove the finish then “lightly” sand. Power tools on furniture tops can be like oil and water.
Congratulations! It took me 11 years to pay off my student loans. Will be done at the end of this year.
That is awesome! Took awhile but still a huge accomplishment!
I love that you’re not just showing your flips, but also teaching people to do this for themselves. You really are the Furniture Flipping teacher. You deserve all your amazing success. Congratulations on hitting your first goal. Good luck with whatever you choose to tackle next. I’m sure you’ll smash it, too.
That was amazing. You've accomplished a huge feat in such a short time! So many people spend most of their early career paying off debt and you've done it in just 4 months! Kudos. What a fantastic achievement. You should be so proud of yourself!
Not only did your neighbor get to celebrate helping you pay off your loan, he got a very nice custom finished piece of furniture to coordinate with other pieces he already had.
Lauren, CONTRATULATIONS! I am so THRILLED for YOU! You have worked so hard and you deserve all this success. You do such quality pieces! The best to you!
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your support!
Congratulations!! Your neighbor is so sweet! So glad he was the one who pushed you across the finish line in paying off your student loan debt. And thank you for inspiring me and others to join your journey. I lost my husband two months ago and a huge amount of income. You showed me it's possible to flip furniture and make serious money. This is going to help me pay my bills. Thank you!!!
CONGRATULATIONS LAUREN!!!. 💐😍 I've been with you since the beginning and I am so happy you have reached your goal. May the Lord continue blessing you🙏
Thank you so much!!
What a cute reaction from your neighbor and the person to help you complete your pay off!!! That is so awesome!!!
Yes! It was wonderful!!
thank you ...
Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?
I'm not crying--you're crying! WOW! This is AMAZING!
Thank you!
So happy for you! My husband and I recently started watching your videos. You've learned so much, so fast! But from these old people in Kansas, to you young person in Nebraska, please take care of your knees! My husband worked on concrete floors for years and had to crawl on his knees under machinery. Did not protect his knees. He has had both of his knees replaced. Be safe girl!
Congratulations!!! It took me years to pay off my student loans with the pittance they call our salary!
Yes! I agree!
Woohoo! It is incredible how quickly you managed to pay off your student loan debt by flipping furniture, Lauren. Congratulations! I didn't think black was going to do justice to the beautiful detailing on that piece but I was so wrong. It's gorgeous!
What an amazing goal to help other teachers! I'm here for it!
Yay! Thank you!
I legit got mad when you said you were done! You go girl! I'm so proud and happy for you, it does feel amazing to accomplish goals you have set for yourself! Keep up the good work!
You are kick ass!!!! I am so proud of you-you know how many people spend most of their lives trying to pay off their loans-:)
Thank you, Mary! (: I'm so excited!
Congratulations! I've watched a few of your video's and have enjoyed them all. This is actually my favorite piece! How touching that it was your neighbor who helped you with your last sale to pay off your student debt! I hope some young folks learn from your journey and become inspired to apply such great ethics to their own lives. Truly a pleasure watching you.
Hang on... THE LAST VIDEO? Lauren, you’re so successful with this, why not keep flipping for a new goal? And of course, congratulations! Truly inspiring. Except for the stopping part. Omg you totally got me on that.
Yes! Thank you! Hahaha! We are here to stay! (:
Congratulations! Keep being awesome and can't wait to see more of your gorgeous flips. The smile on my face when the confetti went off was from ear to ear. So happy for you!
Thank you so much, Brandon!
Congratulations!!! You rocked it like a pro. Woot! Woot!!!! Such an admirable goal and now helping others?!!! How inspiring!!!
Thanks so much, Robin!
Congrats!! I’m just so impressed by you. Teachers are amazing and definitely don’t get paid enough. How wonderful that you’re helping other teachers now. You definitely rock!!
Congratulations! You're so fun to watch! So glad you're going to continue.
Of course! Thank you for your support!
Congratulations 🎉
Not even 4 months, 3 1/2!!! Excited to see what you’ll do next!
Congratulations! I have been watching for a couple months now I am so impressed with all you have accomplished. And I am really excited that you will be helping with other teachers' student loan debt. There couldn't be a better cause and I will be donating as much as I can!
Awe thank you, Karen!! Appreciate your support!!
You go Lauren! I am a teacher, too, and know how tired you had to be after working all day teaching your little people, then coming home to flip furniture. So proud of your accomplishments and inspired how you are working to help others!
So pleased that your hard work has paid off. When there’s a will, there’s a way. Thank you for the example that you both are.
Thank you so much!
Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?
Whenever that happens, try painting the top white, and then use a dark gel stain over that in a dry brush fashion. You will get a finish that looks like you stained it anyway. Or instead of the dry brush, you can use a wood grain tool. I did this on my own antique top that was being super tempermental and wouldn't take the poly with the stain. Had to strip it twice and realized I was gonna have to paint it, but still wanted it to match the set and look stained. It turned out beautiful.
It only took you four months! That is freaking awesome.
Youngin you have made me cry. I’m so tickled for you. I’m smiling and crying and thankful on your behalf.
Wow you did it , so proud of you, that’s amazing congratulations 🍾🎉🎊 love you channel and the support for other teachers that’s awesome 👏
Thank you so much 🤗
Heartfelt congratulations to you, Lauren, and to Neiman for your hard work! You have a proud audience here in Connecticut.🌷🌷
I love how you are investing in new tools as you expand your skills. I must add that Neiman's work behind the camera and all the editing work creates such professional content for all of us to enjoy. Well done!! I can't forget to mention the Furniture Flipping Truck!!!
Congrats again..🎓🎉🎓🎊
This piece turned out amazing! & what you are doing now is also so amazing!
Thanks, Tatyana!
🎉Congratulations!!! I can’t believe you did this in four months. Wow! That’s awesome! To pay off your student loans that quickly must feel like a truly amazing accomplishment! Wish I had the space to be able to do something like this. I really enjoy this type of thing. You had me going for a second when you said you weren’t going to post more videos. That definitely would not be a good move for you since you have such a good following.
Yeah you DID!! 🙌🏻
Thanks, Brenda!
So proud for you! Congratulations! I had just started dabbling with painting a chair after watching Debbie of DIY, Christina Pretty Distressed and Melanie of Windmill Vintage. I now have hope and inspiration that I can pay off my 10.000 ish credit card debt and my ultimate goal is to be able to quit my job and make it a full time thing. Thanks again and I will definitely see you on the flip side.
My feelings were legit hurt when you said it would be your last video.
🤣🤣🤣
Hahah! Ohh no! We're here to stay!
I just can't stop smiling. I'm stupid proud of you and I don't even know you. Congrats!!! The fact that you want to help and inspire others is just amazing as well. Thank you. You're a good force in the world.
I almost cried 😭 when she said last video.... 😭But I'm glad it isn't I'll continue to watch lmaoo 😆😂😂
Thanks for your support!
Good for you, Lauren! A true success earned through innovation, determination and plain hard work. A wonderful example for all of us. Take care, wishing you much future success. BTW: please pass on to your amazing parents, they raised you right.
Way to go Lauren!! You are a blessing and an inspiration to novice flippers, everywhere!! So happy you met your goal, and now want to use your platform to help other teachers. God bless you! ♥️
congrats! one of my subscribers recommended you and I had to come say great job!
Wow! So cool - thanks for taking the time to do this 😊
I came across your channel a few weeks ago via Dave Ramsey’s channel and have tuned in since. We will have to get together soon when Neim and I get into real estate!
Thanks again!
OMG I cried when you announced you finally made it. Paying off your student loan. You ARE the inspiration to many. Just how many of you are out there that need to pay off that loan? Get in touch with this team and get dust flowing on your goals.... I now have serious tears running down my face....CONGRATULATIONS!!!
That's so exciting!!! Congratulations! And I'm so sappy. It about made me cry that your neighbor and long time supporter ended up pushing you over the edge. That's awesome! Can't wait to continue watching and see what you do for teachers in 2021. My favorite teacher was actually my teacher for 1st and 2nd grade. Mrs Ohlendorf. Amazing lady. And still even though I'm 46 years old we are still connected. And... my other favorite teacher that was never my teacher.... My sister. I will have to ask her about her student loan debt. She is amazing in so many ways.
You are amazing, such a kind person, I hope that you can carry on flipping furniture to help other teachers. But first, I hope you take a short holiday, maybe a spa break, where you can relax and enjoy your accomplishment. Thank you so much for sharing your happy news, I’m sure it was a video we were all hoping to see. xx
You have absolutely set a standard in the ‘flipping' community to set goals for themselves! You are entirely different because instead of continuing to pocket cash so you can stop teaching & flip full time, you’re turning around immediately to help out your fellow peers🤗💜! Bravo to you, Neiman, your parents & your kind neighbor🍾🥂🧋🧉! If only we could convince millions of others to be more like you!
🌟🎊CONGRATULATIONS🎊🌟
OMG I am soooooo excited for you!!! My husband and I have been following you and we just love what you do and why you are doing it! Nothing like being debt freecongratulations 🎊🎉
Yes! Debt free has a great ring to it! 🤗
Soooo proud of you. I know I join a large number of fans who are celebrating this very moment. We all join your parents who have been there for you all the way. Shared the video with a friend who has a huge debt. Thanks for starting something so beautiful. You are the best.
Thank you so much for your support and for sharing with fellow teachers!
Just started watching you. I was so tickled to see how happy you and your neighbor were to be able to pay off your debt. And it does my heart good that you are giving back.
Congratulations! Not only did you take care of your own loan but now you are helping others. What an admirable work ethic. I'm glad you are teaching. Hopefully your character will inspire your students.
You Go girl, Congradulations!
Glad you are sticking with your channel helping teachers pay down their loan debts
I am so happy for you. Your hard work paid off. And that's awesome you are paying it forward to help other teachers pay off their student loan debt. Good job!
You almost had me! I’m glad I kept watching. You’re videos relax me at the end of a stressful day of being a nurse in a pediatric congenital heart catheterization lab. I always enjoy the transformation of the furniture and you have a very relaxing voice🥰
I'm so glad you enjoy! We are here for the long haul! Thank you for what you do as well!
You are an inspiration! I can only imagine the difference you make in the classroom! ❤️. I’m a retired intervention specialist. I continue to sub, because I still enjoy working with children. Take care!
Thanks so much for all you do, congratulations on paying off your student loan debt! I just shared this video with my great niece in New York who has student loan debt and is a full-time teacher. You are an inspiration and I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you.
Congratulations, Lauren!!! I've enjoyed watching this leg of your journey and am excited to continue watching you into the next!!!
Thank you so much, Rebecca!
Congratulations Lauren! Persistence and dedication pays off.
YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION!!!!!
I’ve told EVERYBODY about you. You have the right ideas. Now you will go through your future w/o dragging that debt behind you. You’re FREE!!!!
Lauren sweetheart, It concerns me you're not using gloves to clean these pieces when you begin working on them. As you say yourself, you don't know where they've been or what YUK is on them. Please look after yourself!!! Apart from this, I love how creative you are and how much you try things out, and how much joy you brig to [people.Well done you. I love your work!! WELL DONE FOR PAYING OFF YOUR STUDENT LOAN DEBT!!! Blessings, and love from a Nana in Australia. xxx
Congrats on being freed from your student loan. Gotta tell my sister she’s a teacher. Oh yeah that was a beautiful job you did on that piece. Love the black with silver hardware very nice
Congratulations!!!!!! You've put hard work into this and I am so happy it worked out so quickly. Appreciate your reaching out to help other teachers burdened with student loan debt. Peace
I am not a furniture flipper but came across your Behr chalk paint video and I’m so happy that you achieved your goal and in such a short time! So amazing! You are an inspiration! You go, girl!!
OMG! I about fell out of my chair when you said this was your last furniture flip! LOL I'm so glad that you will continue to make videos and happy that you will be helping others with the profits of your flipping. Congratulations!
Congratulations!!! So proud of you. What an inspiration you are. I cried happy tears for you. I can only imagine the kind of teacher you are. They are some very lucky kids.
Congratulations, Lauren! Very inspiring. That piece is to die for. You have a great eye for looking past the roughness in a piece and making it beautiful. Good luck in your new goal.
Congratulations! The world needs more young people like you!
I was crying on your behalf!!! Great job girl!! You are an amazing young woman !!! Love from SA🇿🇦 I nearly had an heart attack when you said your done !!Well done...you are such a hard working young lady !!🎊🎉
Congratulations Lauren in paying off your student loans, a major accomplishment!! Continue to teach and touch the lives of millions of teachers out there that can benefit from the assistance and initiate the steps in flipping furniture. I would like to try and do this considering I live in a second story apartment. I need to pay off a credit card and have additional funds available during my retired years. Keep up with the videos!!
Happy Dance! So thrilled for you and your happy customer and neighbor! Way to go! I just paid off my credit card debt - it took me ten years! I now only purchase things with cash. I am also living a near minimal lifestyle and am so much happier!
Well done! You must be so proud of yourself! You also have the BEST neighbor EVER! Love to all! ❤️❤️❤️
My mom is a teacher. She has taught theater, English, and is currently teaching and working with exceptional education children. She is such an inspiration. Her student loan debt has been killing her and it's so sad that teachers have to deal with that. Thank you for what you are doing!
Schools should pay the loans when they sign the teachers contract . They’ve been doing it with nurses for years
At first I thought you were serious about no longer doing TH-cam videos, and I thought I might start to cry, I so enjoy watching your flips. You inspired me to give it a whirl myself.
I’m in the U.K. and I have to say how massively impressed with your hard work and dedication to your goals.
You are a true inspiration to many!
Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉🥂🍾
thank you
Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?
You got caught in my algorithm & now I’m hooked! Congratulations on your achievement, debt free is the way to be!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations ❤️ I’m following you since the beginning and now I’m feeling so touched
Your neighbor is so cool. I'm so happy for you and your husband. Proud of you for paying off your student loan. My niece paid hers loan off this year also. You young ladies make me proud. Also, high five to your husband he helps out. 👍
I am so proud of you. 💐🎊💐❤️👏👌. "Where there's a will there is a way", you are a great example. Congratulations.
Congratulations!!!!!! So excited for you WOW!!!!!!!! What an accomplishment!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 and it’s was your neighbor of all people being your last furniture buyer!!!
