Regarding college…my oldest went to college. She’s a nurse and we’re still paying the debt off. My middle child didn’t want to go to college but he worked-a lot! He started at Five Guys flipping burgers and worked as much as he could. Then he worked at UPS loading trucks. He tried welding for a while but went back to UPS. Now he works as a conductor on the railroad and loves it. My youngest-she is learning special effects make-up, has a cosmetology degree and works in retail. She does door dash for extra $$. I’m so damn proud of all 3. They are nice and good people, kind, empathetic and hard workers. I don’t think a college degree is necessary to be a successful human. ❤
Don't go to bed angry is the BEST advice we ever got! 25 years! Of course you have to let each other cool off first. Also, don't bring up important topics late at night. No one thinks rationally when they're really tired!😂❤ Love your channel! You're so inspiring!
My children left for college at 17 and never moved back home. At first we felt like they didn’t want to move back with us then they both told us we did our job right. We taught them the meaning of education, money and hard work. They are now both married with children and great careers. They have also done the most amazing thing and made us grandparents. 💙💙💖
For the person who asked about cash. Yeah, ask the people of western NC. They were able to use cash to buy some things at stores with no power. I say $500-1000 in small bills. (No 50s or 100s)
During hurricane Helene's after math in September, there were some gas station still selling fuel, but they were ONLY taking cash because so many things were down and affected. I live hundreds of miles away from the storm damage adn our local Ingle's grocery store was only taking cash for a couple of weeks because their corporate offices are in North Carolina and they had no access. we have several other grocery stores available here, but if you live in a rea affected by damage like that... you might want to keep a small amount of cash on hand because your bank may be shut down and you have no access to your own money. Many places were affected that way.
I agree. I think a lot of people correlate a shtf scenario as being the end of the world. No, it can be a natural disaster that only hits your area. A grid down situation for a small piece of the US. If someone uses avery smal local bank or credit union, they might want a couple months on hand. If its a larger bank with nationwide branches, maybe not as much. If it is a nationwide shft, then it doesn't matter how much cash, things will deteriorate quickly and we'll go barter real quick.
I live right outside of Asheville and am only 3 minutes away from catastrophic flooding and boat rescues. I never thought to have cash but we needed it for EVERYTHING for about 2 weeks. I will now always keep between $500 to 1k on hand for times like that.
I 1000% agree with "don't go to bed angry" being a terrible piece of advice! Being willing to set aside a problem and sleep in the same bed is a huge show of trust and commitment to your life together. And, like you said, you just can't think rationally after you've been awake for so long and you're tired. I've known people who would stay up all night fighting and have to call out of work because they were just so exhausted, and that sounds so so miserable. Just go to bed angry and come back together in the morning, or after work the next day.
Also- anger isn't a switch you can just flip based on a deadline. Sometimes being angry for a while is not only appropriate but healthy (it's just how you behave while you're angry that super matters).
I've always wondered why anyone thinks its' a good idea for 2 exhausted and angry people to try to come to a resolution. It makes much more sense to me to sleep and come back together when both people are well rested and have had time to calm down.
My guy and I have been together for over 30 years, we have never had a fight. Oh we disagree and have misunderstandings, but we both handle things in the same way. We go to our respective corners and when we can talk reasonably and calmly and can hash things out then we talk. That lets us resolve issues, not over the same hurts and misunderstanding again and again.
I picked the right guy to marry for the second time. He is 15 years younger than me and we have been married for 35 years. We get along great, have almost the same interests. I depend on him and he depends on me. I love him more and more everyday.
@@lulamamie8524, I’m not worried about my marriage to such a young man. He’s an old soul and I’m a young a soul. Besides, if he does do anything I’m strong enough to be on my own. I totally trust him. A lot more than my first marriage with a guy who was my age.
Happy birthday fellow Scorpio! You're so spot on that babies don't need all the baby gear! And yes the person you pick matters! After two divorces I finally found the right person for me
Aww, I was wondering why you stopped cooking! I discovered your channel back in 2018 and sometimes I go back and watch your old videos :) Glad you are enjoying cooking again.
Sooooooo many people are being raised by parents who overindulge in going out, weird red examples are set. Then the kid has no savings and there you are. So important to give children skills of savings through sweat equity in kitchen and out, right??
Happy birthday! Great video! A piece of good advice I received for my second marriage was that you each “need to be a little deaf and a little blind”. Not to the big things of course but to the little idiosyncrasies that we each have that can drive you crazy. So far it’s working ;)
cash is always good to have. When hurricane Helene came through Western North Carolina, the internet was down, so grocery stores could only take cash because card payments couldn't be processed. maybe stash at least $1000, maybe a bit more to cover unexpected emergencies.
1: Married couples each get their own blanket in bed. 2: New expectant fathers get a new battery powered drill for assembling EVERYTHING. 3: Going out to eat is the #1 budget killer. 4: Food waste at home is #2.. Organization will set you free.
FYI in Western North Carolina and when we had no power, no water, no phone service no communications with anyone. We had $140 worth of cash and that money literally saved us. Credit cards and debit cards everything electronic was not working but we were able to buy gas and by water. When everything hits the fan cash is king. But maybe not long-term
This was after hurricane Helen. And we were some of the lucky ones who didn’t lose everything. If there is ever another situation like this you will need to have cash. So many didn’t.
Man, I wish I had that advice 5 years ago. I always feel guilty taking a nap, but you're probably right 😂 I also have 4 kids. I homeschool the 3 youngest. I definitely probably need more naps.
Women's abilities to adapt are awesome. Contorting yourself for the sake of children or school schedules or tight budgets is a skill we all need. Gotta adapt to survive 💪
So real, so honest, with your legendary sens of humour... I will be 60 by the end of this year, and you manage to teach me things... btw missing your wonderful daughter ... Can't not wait for the next one! Happy, happy birthday Christine!😘
Love what you said about your marriage. All of what you said is so true. We just celebrated our 30th anniversary and I couldn’t imagine any other life with any other person. One thing when you answered about how much money for a shtf scenario. I can’t say how much to have but I can say keep cash at home , at least a few hundred for emergency situations. We were in a hard hit area with Helene (Augusta, GA). Power out everywhere and no ATMS at all. The couple of stores that were able to open a few days later some, half of them could only take cash. Everyone needed ice for coolers, gas for cars and generators and some people needed food but didn’t have cash. It isn’t exactly a SHFT but it seemed like it at the time.
It's a biblical reference. I think people misunderstand what it truly means - don't go to sleep with unresolved emotions. There are definite health benefits not having unforgiveness, resentment or anger before going to sleep. That doesn't mean you have to resolve the issue with that person before sleeping, but in your heart forgive and give it to God, go to sleep in peace and in the new day work out the details of reconciliation or whatever issue caused you anger or angst.
@@beckygrimes7596we've been married 32 years and only went to bed angry a handful of times. And those were miserable nights. I don't think it's bad advice personally. Great comment, 💙
Happy birthday!! Thank you for sharing parts of yourself on TH-cam, I've found your videos helpful and they have felt connecting in times where I've been depressed and alone. I hope your cake is delicious!
Happy Birthday Christine, I turn 60 on Sunday just living my life 10 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and then MS, still pushing forward best I can. Will be married 40 years next May so at least I have someone to go through life with me.
You reminded me of when I was first married in 1976. We set up a very tight budget as I was a student and he had a minimum wage job. We also budgeted for splurges: $1 each per week! And it worked to keep down resentment and stupid financial decisions.
At our tightest, I had to literally save my pennies in order to buy embroidery floss (25 cents a skein). But it was something I did for me without harming others. It was necessary for my mental health. A older friend tells the story when money was so tight for her family that she splurged by buying a 69 cent potato peeler (as opposed to having to use a paring knife). Yep, splurges are necessary.
So happy to hear the podcast is coming back. Understand you needed that time, but missed it so much! Love that both you and Dave agreed on the balance question. Honestly I don’t know one single person that has it all out together. The scale changes on a daily basis but support from spouse or even the kids is what makes it work. Even a best friend sharing carpool duty, etc can be such a huge help.
I love, love, love my darn tough socks. They are made in the USA. Yes they are pricey up front but so worth it. I have had the same 6 pairs for 2-3 years.
That was well said, and I agree with your comments. We've been married for 54 years, and our two daughters are older than you. LOL, yep. I've stayed active and busy throughout my life. I have no regrets. Have a yummy day with German Chocolate cake!
Yeeeessss!!!!! German chocolate cake is the best!! Today is my 66th birthday!! I’m so glad I found your channel! You have blessed my life tremendously!! Happy belated Birthday!
When my husband and I have disagreements or we take something the wrong way we both will say “same team” to the other. It’s usually not intentional just the situation not the person. It’s us against the issue not each other :) 19 years together and in love more than ever ❤
Happy birthday! I just celebrated #64 last week, so we share a birth month. Enjoy your forties while they last. Time goes faster as you get older! I also love Weird Al, and my favorite song he has done is “Eat It,” a spoof of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.”
Happy 43rd! Just about to start year 44!!! I totally agree about the worst advice. I tell that to young couples all of the time, "Look, well intentioned people will tell you not to go to bed angry, but here's the deal...." 🎉
Happy birthday! I just turned 42. It's so bizarre lol. Any who, I adore you and your videos ❤ My goal is to get my body moving to be in a fraction of the good shape as you next bday 🎂 💕💕
Mariana's Trench is SO great! We have been fans for the last 6 years or so and like you, so sad they rarely come to the US. We were going to go to Houston for this tour but they had to cancel that one. Sad!
I feel good about my achievements. Up until this year we lived on $400 dollars a month for groceries and now this year it jump to $700 for a family of 5. I was so stressed trying to stay under $400 that I snapped at the beginning of 2024. Our income has increased and I was like why am I stressing myself out trying to stick to such a tight budget when I actually have the money to spend a little extra on groceries. Guess the extreme frugality was muscle memory from all the years when money was tighter.
We have been empty nesters and Mr Bill retired in June … I think we haven’t stopped .. we are blessed to be able to travel anywhere we want and it involves hiking /walking ! We are approaching being in better physical shape then when we were in high school ( yes we married as infants ) best friends forever and love to go out and do ! Christine you have been a great enthusiast for me ! I want to go on a walk now ! Bye ! Glenda in Mesa
Yummy German Chocolate Cake with extra icing is a must. Wishing you a very Happy Happy Birthday from Texas. Hope you had a wonderful day. Thanks Christine enjoyed the video. fyi If you ever have another HEB care package ask for the HEB Original Corn Chips $1.67 they are really Frito's!!! and they don't cost $4.95. lol
Happy Be-lated Birthday Christine! I've been watching your videos since 2020 and I didn't know we shared a birthday, that's awesome! Thank you for all that you do, I love your videos!
Oops...sorry...if the grid fails...and who knows...your cards will not work. Cash is important to keep on hand. Yes! Bartering is great! But...cash on hand is smart! Great video 💪🦋🇺🇸💗🙏
Can't pick just one Weird Al song. Hardware Store, Yoda, Amish Paradise (the part in the video when he had to walk backwards), and way too many more. His concerts are the BEST. Have fun!
Super appreciate the encouragement of SAHM tempo. It’s been a loooong time without adults, like over ten years. I know I’m incredibly blessed to be home with my kids, but boy, am I ready to go back to work!
Pick the one you can be yourself with from the moment you meet them and they like you for it. As for advice, talk about everything. not just you and your relationship but about everything and anything. Books you read, what you saw on the bus home, the news, do you like cats better than dogs. what it comes down to is being honest. Be honest about who you are in every part. That doesn't mean you need to tell everything or should let your partner in on everything (your friends' secrets stay with you, not you and your partner) but be honest in what you think, feel, and do while wording it wisely. talk respectfully, don't fear to disagree or have different opinions, and most of all; don't say things are fine if they are not!
LOL! We got tickets for Weird Al in 2025 too! My husband and I saw him when we were dating. And now, some 20+ years later, we are going again but taking our 12yo with us. We are so excited too!
I believe in being frugal, but I don't deny myself if I want to see a concert (saw Pink for the first time). I have a play subscription, which is cheaper on Sunday afternoon. Went to my first ballet in Austin. Also, I am planning to do a ballet in February.

It's nice to know I spend around 250 for 2 to 3 people. That's even with extras which i can afford because I PAID OFF MY MORTGAGE! last week
Congratulations 🎉🎉
Wooohooo! Congrats
🎉🎉🎉GOOD FOR YOU!!! That’s HUGE!!! Celebrate!!🎉🎉🎉
Yep that's freeing! 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations
It's such a compliment to your parenting that your kids are secure enough in themselves to move out and be on their own.

I'd much rather watch a cooking video than a blog, so I'll take the cooking videos when you're up to doing them 😊
Same!
Take it from me...i just turned 50. You look awesome and your family budget advice is priceless 💕 you are doing a lot of things right 👍

It was for all of you...been thru it, glad you are doing ok
Omigosh yes!!! Sometimes u need to go to bed angry. Being tired alone can make any of us testy, that is not the time to solve the problem.

You reminded me of when I was first married in 1976. We set up a very tight budget as I was a student and he had a minimum wage job. We also budgeted for splurges: $1 each per week! And it worked to keep down resentment and stupid financial decisions.
People need more realistic expectations.
At our tightest, I had to literally save my pennies in order to buy embroidery floss (25 cents a skein). But it was something I did for me without harming others. It was necessary for my mental health. A older friend tells the story when money was so tight for her family that she splurged by buying a 69 cent potato peeler (as opposed to having to use a paring knife). Yep, splurges are necessary.
You and your family look so full of energy. Wishing you and your family a good day😊
So happy to hear the podcast is coming back. Understand you needed that time, but missed it so much! Love that both you and Dave agreed on the balance question. Honestly I don’t know one single person that has it all out together. The scale changes on a daily basis but support from spouse or even the kids is what makes it work. Even a best friend sharing carpool duty, etc can be such a huge help.
Happy birthday! 43 looks great on you!
Thank you so much
Yes!!!! I agree on your worst piece of advice. I can’t tell you how many times I’m totally irrational because I’m exhausted. 🤣
I never disagree with scripture. I can however always say I love you good night we will talk about this tomorrow.
I love, love, love my darn tough socks. They are made in the USA. Yes they are pricey up front but so worth it. I have had the same 6 pairs for 2-3 years.

I AM SO GLAD YOU TALKEF ABOUT THE GENUIS THAT IS MARIANAS TRENCH!! The most UNDERRATED band of all time!!!
Happy Be-lated Birthday Christine! I've been watching your videos since 2020 and I didn't know we shared a birthday, that's awesome! Thank you for all that you do, I love your videos!
Loved your marital advice! Well done. Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday you are so great to watch! I hope that you and the family are all great! ❤🎉
Happy Birthday 🎉 I enjoy your videos so much.
Omg I had an OG bike trainer. Wow...that sparked some memories. It was the cyclops fluid trainer....
Before spin bikes
Happy Birthday!!!❤❤❤
Happy Birthday Christine! 🥮
Oops...sorry...if the grid fails...and who knows...your cards will not work. Cash is important to keep on hand. Yes! Bartering is great! But...cash on hand is smart! Great video 💪🦋🇺🇸💗🙏
Christine, you are truly such an inspiration ❤️!
Happy Birthday 🎂
I love German chocolate cake too
Can't pick just one Weird Al song. Hardware Store, Yoda, Amish Paradise (the part in the video when he had to walk backwards), and way too many more. His concerts are the BEST. Have fun!
I really enjoy these kinds of videos! Do them more often please :)
I feel you on the home full of men..I don't have a daughter but now gained a dil which is nice but they hang out mostly with her family
Christine, u look great! Love your hair color too!
Your hair looks so cute!😊 Thanks for all the good advice ❤
Happy Birthday, Christine! 🎂🍧🎉💐💯‼️
Thank you! 🤗
Super appreciate the encouragement of SAHM tempo. It’s been a loooong time without adults, like over ten years. I know I’m incredibly blessed to be home with my kids, but boy, am I ready to go back to work!
@krcl8812 Remember, the days are long but the years are short. 🥺
Pick the one you can be yourself with from the moment you meet them and they like you for it. As for advice, talk about everything. not just you and your relationship but about everything and anything. Books you read, what you saw on the bus home, the news, do you like cats better than dogs. what it comes down to is being honest. Be honest about who you are in every part. That doesn't mean you need to tell everything or should let your partner in on everything (your friends' secrets stay with you, not you and your partner) but be honest in what you think, feel, and do while wording it wisely. talk respectfully, don't fear to disagree or have different opinions, and most of all; don't say things are fine if they are not!
Happy Birthday 🎉❤😊 The German chocolate upside down cake is my only request on my birthday no gifts just the cake.
As a kid, I used to love mountain biking! Now I have vertigo and I miss it so bad
I've been trying to see Marianas Trench for years 😭 a literal dream, that's so awesome
Love that you loved them ✨️
Hope you had a Great Birthday doing something fun🎉
Hi Christine! Long time watcher here, Love this video!! Love your positive attitude!! you are very helpful!! Sher.
LOL! We got tickets for Weird Al in 2025 too!
My husband and I saw him when we were dating. And now, some 20+ years later, we are going again but taking our 12yo with us. We are so excited too!
Happy Birthday, Christine!! 🎉🎉
Happy, happy birthday! Enjoy!🎉🎉
I agree about the worst advise! Sometimes you need rest and some time!
Happy Birthday Christine! Have a wonderful day!! 🎉🎉
Happy birthday, Christine! 🎈🎂🥳
Definitely "One More Minute" is my favorite Weird AL song. My son and dil have seen him in concert and life will never be the same.
Happy Birthday 🎁🎂🎈🎉🎊 Time definitely flies by, friend.
Loved as always ! TAKE CARE TO YOU & ALL
😊 Frugal Fit Mom, the Marble Slab Ice Cream shop where I live in N E Florida has German Chocolate Cake Ice Cream! 🍦😋
Happy Birthday Christine! 🎉🎂💐🍾🍺🍸🍹🍨🍧🎁
Happy Bday! U r appreciated!
!!! I am from Canada and I love Marianas Trench!!!!
His voice and enthusiasm!!!
I believe in being frugal, but I don't deny myself if I want to see a concert (saw Pink for the first time). I have a play subscription, which is cheaper on Sunday afternoon. Went to my first ballet in Austin. Also, I am planning to do a ballet in February.
Love it! I’ve always wanted to see Pink!
@FrugalFitMom she was amazing. She performed 3 aerial.
