    Top tier advice. Thank you. I took my nails off because they are a couple hundred dollar expense a month…if they break, that more money to get it repaired. Plus those As.ians places are not clean and don’t give AF about Black women. Why continue to pay them and risk your health in their unclean mail shops. My husband and I are in our journey…it will take a couple of years, but we’re committed.

    • @brooklynqueen7089

    I cleaned out my storage closet a couple of months ago. My goal is to downsize my closet even more. I have way too many clothes and shoes.
    I only have student loans and a mortgage. My mortgage balance is less than $39k and it is being taken care of.
    Savings is good.
    Really, the only thing I haven't figured out is the income because I can't take my current source of income with me.

    I've been thinking and strategizing since the beginning of this year. Unfortunately I can't leave as of now because of school obligations so I've come up with a 5 year exit plan. I'll leverage my nursing degree to live as a nomad because I can't with this place anymore. All of these facebook groups and podcasts like yours have been so inspiring/motivational though. I'm def going to be about it hence the planning.

    This is exactly what i needed in my stage of researching, preparing, and planning with leaving the NOT united states (I'll quit using that phrase soon haha)
    Outside fasting and praying to get my 👍🏾/green light from Abba/God, I'm past talking about it haha.
    I hold on to my physical things (moving from oklahoma to alabama last year was my biggest move) BUT this past saturday i got a big part of my LR already filling up fast with everything I'm giving away and donating.
    Last week i watched you talk about a no spending challenge. I started the next payday and have savings building already between my 2 incomes (im a disabled air force veteran).
    Debt: i have next to no debt. No mortgage, my car is paid for but I'll let that sucker go if i land somewhere i can walk everywhere. No student loan no personal loans no CCs.
    I started out thinking this might happen 3 to 5 years from now but I'm now looking at the fall of 2025 timeframe after i finish Rock College, but right before my 51st birthday!
