Well, well, hey girl hey! Now is your time to do whatever you want. My first 21 years I was a Respiratory Therapist, the next 15 years I taught pre- k, kindergarten, and then 2nd grade. At 60 years old my diabetes started to effect my eyes so hello SSDI. It has been a challenge, but six years later I still manage to entertain myself doing the things I enjoy. Can't cry over spilled milk, we could, but we still can't use it. Long story short do you boo, you have a wonderful support team (your MVP Lonnie). Be happy in the season you're in, anyway it seems you and Lonnie understand the assignment, lol! One day, one step at a time, who knows what's around the corner. Keep smiling, you got this! Smooches 😘
Oh wow and thank you so much for this encouraging comment. I’m so sorry about your eyes. However, I just love the fact that it has not put a damper on your spirit. May God continue to bless you and TSMFW! 😊💕
Hi Anita, I’ve been watching you for awhile but never commented. Just wanted to let you know you’re an inspiration to me, the way you seem to handle finances, the way you’ve raised your children to become thriving adults, and the love you and Lonnie continue to have for one another after many years. I’m sorry to hear about you being laid off, but God has a bigger plan for you. As you mentioned, you will have more time to create content, maybe you can expound upon life teachings, finances, raising kids etc. Wish you and your family all the best.
Aw, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words Sharon. I appreciate you watching and being so supportive. And yes, those are definitely topics I could talk about, I just didn't think anyone would be interested in what I had to say regarding those topics...lol. Thank you for your feedback, deciding to finally comment, and for watching!😊💕
Sorry to hear that you were laid off, love your positive attitude and approach towards this loss. Maybe it’s a sign to get more into vlogging and be your own boss. Great video💕
Aw, thank you so much. I appreciate you and it's a great idea and definitely a possibility! Thank you for your kind words, continued support, and watching! xoxo💕
Gurll! You never know what is around the corner! You are fine! It's amazing how the lord creates a safe haven for us in the midst of change! He is awesome ALL the time! You will come to love your new normal!!!
Hey Anita!!! Sometimes I watch videos from the tv and can’t comment. However, I came back to this video on my phone because I felt led. I’ve learned so many things since I FULLY surrendered my life to Christ in 2019 and started this faith journey. First, there are no such things as coincidence, luck, fate, happenstance, etc. It’s God’s divine favor, blessings, and redirection. Either he causes things to happen or he allows it. So, you have the right attitude as you’ve changed your perspective to see this as an opportunity to seek God for His direction. While I do know when our routines suddenly change, it can be unnerving bringing about a lot of anxiety. Yet, stay grounded in his word and let Holy Spirit guide you. He could be using your TH-cam platform as a ministry to lead others to Him by way of giving your testimony when it comes to caring for your mom as well as your own health. God also had me leave my job and move to Texas after over 20 years. And he led me back to Hampton roads in November. I didn’t know I was on an assignment and would be returning. He led me back with NOTHING. And he’s setting me up in such a way that only HE can get the glory, not man. And God will do the same for you if you let him. Having a spouse that supports you is another blessing. This is the time to lean into your faith even more. Don’t be afraid to do whatever God is leading you to do. He’s got your back and we all support you.❤
Aw Angelia, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words and for sharing your testimony. Like you, I do believe that everything happens for a reason and it's not for me to question, just to keep pushing forward. It's funny because my boss said to me "you're taking this better than I thought". I told him that "it is what it is, and they had already made their decision so, all I can do is accept it. Life goes on and God's got me. I wish you the best sis and welcome back to the East coast. TFW!
Hello Anita good to see you back and I'm glad y'all had a wonderful time on your vacation it's been a minute since I seen you and I missed you and may you and your family and your channel continue to grow and happy holidays 🙏 from your friend Ella Bransford from Tennessee.😊
Wow Anita, so sorry to hear this. I can relate to this, I was laid off when I was 59 which was twelve years ago now. God has walked me through it so I don’t regret not looking for another job. You will be fine, you’re a child of God and he has you. ❤
Hey Anita! I firmly believe everything happens for a reason. You bring so much joy here on YT! I look forward to more content. Your videos have helped me get through some pretty tough days. Continued prayer for you, Lonnie and your beautiful family.❤
Aw, thank you so much Rhonda. I'm so sorry to hear that you've experienced some rough days. However, I'm glad that you feel my videos have helped you get through them. I hope things are better for you and that you are doing well. TFW! xoxo
You are blessed Anita! Yes, more content. My first job 33 yrs/current 7 yrs. I thank my Heavenly Father, my retirement date, the end of December. I’ll have more time to give you the thumbs 👍 tfs.. Blessings!!!
Aw, thank you so much Lola and congratulations to you on your upcoming retirement!💕🎈🎉🍾🎊 I’m so very happy for you sis and I just know you can’t wait. Let the countdown begin. Thank you so much for always showing up and supporting me, I appreciate you!😊💕
Hey Beautiful! I had the same thing happen to me back in 2020. Thankfully, I’m in the same situation and my husband was able to be the rock he always is. But I also started to focus in more on my content and it ended up being a big blessing because I’ve never had to go back and just been doing content full time ever since. I hope being able to focus on your content and life brings you so much continued joy. Sometimes these unfortunate things have beautiful rainbows after 🌈❤.
Hey boo, thank you so much for sharing your story, I appreciate your kind and encouraging words. And sis, you have been killing it with your content and I am so happy for and proud of you and wish you continued success Queen. You're definitely an inspiration to me and others. TFW!😊💕
Hey Anita, everything happens for a reason. It’s a new season embrace it and continue to press forward. Hope your sick symptoms have cleared up. I’m sure Koko is thrilled to probably be spending additional time with her mommy 😅. Follow GOD’s lead and he will show you where you should be and what you should be doing in this new era 😘✌🏾!
Heyyyy, thank you and yes I agree, God will lead me to where he wants me to be. Oh, and my cold is gone, thank goodness. I’m also happy to be able to spend more time with my beautiful brown baby Koko…lol. Thank you for your encouraging words and for watching!😊💕
Hey Anita, so sorry to hear about you being laid off but more so the call while on vacation was crazy. I'm so happy that you guys are not financially stressed by it. God is good. I was let go of mine after being there for 40 years. I was hoping to retire from there, but God did and is still providing. They got rid of all of the employees close to retirement. Anyway... I love your home. It's gorgeous!! That salmon meal looks delicious. Love ya'll, have a blessed week.
Omgoodness Thelma, your story hurt my heart. That’s terrible and frustrating. Wow, 40 years, I’m so sorry. However, I’m glad you were able to find something else. I was only at this job for 10 years but, I was hoping I was going to retire from there. I was laid off before back in 2001 and I learned then that these companies do not have the same loyalty for their employees that they would like us to have for them, which is sad. Thank you for your kind words, encouragement, and watching. Big hugs.😊💕
Anita I always say sometimes things happens for a reason. After twenty four years I was laid off. Because we tend to get busy with life and work, we neglect to take care of ourselves. I took advantage of not being employed to schedule medical appointments and I thank God I did, because a few months later I was diagnosed with breast cancer I’m in remission for the past 8 yrs. Haven’t been back to work since 2016. I too feel the same way, I’m 58 and don’t feel like starting over. God bless you and the family.
Oh wow Wanda, what a testimony. I'm glad to hear that you are doing well and are in remission, that is awesome, and God is good. Yes, as of now, my primary focus is going to be my health and well being. Thanks for sharing your story and for watching!
Love you Anita, been watching since your daughter was still in high school. Excited for this new journey for you. And I’m in perimenopause, thank you for explaining cause no one does!
Hey girl hey, aw thank you and thank you for rollin' with me for so long. You're an OG and I appreciate you. Yes, there is so much that they don't talk about and it is frustrating. Maybe I will do a video on what I do know because when I was suffering the most, no one would help. My doctor was useless. So, I had to start researching on my own. Hang in there sis, love ya back and TFW!
Hey Anita, sorry to hear the layoff news but you have such a positive spirit and outlook which is always a good way to look at things. Glad you’ll have time to create content.
Hi Anita, Amen 🙏 you are absolutely right He knows All and doesn’t put things on us that we can’t bare, so I see you are already encouraged so keep going and I know you will be sharing your next chapter ❤
Hey Anita! Congratulations on the well deserved time off. You don’t seems sad so I won’t make to sad. I was blessed after 20 yrs to be at home with my family and thanks to God and my husband we haven’t skipped a beat! You’ll be fine. Focused on your health and home. But the way, your home always have a look and feel of home, thank you for sharing as well! Happy Holidays to you and your family ❤
Aw, thank you so much and you are right, I’m not sad, just disappointed. I know these things happen and I’m not immune from them. I was really hoping I could retire from there. But, it is what it is and I just have to roll with the punches. I know God has my back and I’m trusting in him. Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words and Happy Holidays to you and your family as well. TFW!😊💕
Hey Anita! I'm sorry to hear about your layoff. 😢 But, I'm glad to hear that you're taking it in stride. I've been through two layoffs in my lifetime, so I totally understand. Just enjoy your time off, and I'm looking forward to more content.😊
Hey Anita! Sorry to hear about your job. But, thank God you are in the position that you are in that you don’t have to be mad or sad about it or have to rush to fine work. Or maybe even just not work at all. I am counting down the time when I retire in September, 2025! Thanks for sharing with us! Take care and be blessed my friend.
Sorry to hear about your layoff Anita. Remember God got you cover for the future and get your health back right because you’re a beautiful person inside and out ❤
Hey Anita, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen your videos. I am sorry to hear about the lay off of your job. When one door closes the savior always opens another. I will have to catch up on your videos and when you put out your additional content I will be watching. Take care, be blessed and thanks for sharing.
Hey Hey Hey! I have been mia!! Life happened to me as well! Sorry about the lay off but there is always a silver lining! You have a great outlook on this and it’s so positive so you already know you will be just fine!! Much love to you and the family!
Aw, hey girl hey, I'm so glad you're back, and you're right, there's always a silver lining! I hope all is well with you and I appreciate you watching if and when you can.TFW!
Hey Girl Hey!! Long time follower. Sorry about your job. I just went through cuts Dec 2020, so I feel ya!! Great Come Back video!! Looking forward to seeing you more!!❤❤❤
Im sorry you were laid off mama! But now you have more time to do what you love! I certainly can’t afford to be laid off but I wish I could retire early so I could dedicate more time to YT and my fam! I for one LOVE your vlogs! I just really enjoy spending time with you on tv no matter what you’re doing! Merry Christmas Happy New Year and so many blessings your way my friend! 🎄🙏🏼💕
Oh my goodness, thank you so much and I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy my videos. I appreciate you so much! I would rather still be working but as you know, some things are out of our control. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too and TFW!
Hi Anita, hope all is well. Thank for sharing your lay off from you job. I love how positive you were and that means a lot. God definitely has you and your husband in His hands. My husband and I are empty nester and enjoying every bit of it, but we definitely miss our children at times. We have 2 daughters and 2 sons. They are all grown and all 4 have graduated college. You have beautiful children. By the I’m be using the Ryze products for about 2 plus years. I love their mushroom coffee and matcha. I can’t wait to see more of your content. I haven’t created any content in about 2 years. I work a full time job as well and just wasn’t as motivated to create any. My children wasn’t me to start back. I’ve been praying about it so hopefully I will. You mentioned about menopause and mine has been a monster at times. I’m post menopause and I will be turning 59 in January. I also was using that same collagen you share and now I’m using the Black Girl collagen. Thanks for great video and blessings. ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words and you should continue to create content if you enjoy doing it. I know it can be difficult at times, especially while working full-time because content creation is a lot of work. Just post if and when you can and post videos around things that you enjoy. BTW, how do you like the Black girl collagen? I might give it a try. TFW!😊💕
You are right a lot of companies are doing lay offs . Just take your time looking and for sure tap into creating more content . You will surely be ok ❤.
Lay offs are tough especially at our age but I think there’s so many companies laying off right now…but I was thoroughly confused as to why they would call you while on vacation that ticked me off, because it doesn’t matter if you’re in a good situation or not that was unnecessary in my opinion..Love your channel ❤❤❤
Aw, thank you and if you think you were confused, how do you think I felt? I was like, who does that? It was totally inappropriate and unnecessary to try and contact me while I was on vacation and I'm just glad that I did not call him back until I returned home. I've been working full-time in Corporate America since I was 19 years old and have never heard of anything like this. But it's ok, I just have to keep it pushing and that's what I'm going to do. TFW!
Anita, sorry to hear that you were laid off. God has another plan for your life Sis. This was another awesome video. How is your mother doing? Give her my love. Happy Holidays to you and your family. ❤❤🎄
Thank you so much for your encouraging words Reba and my mother is doing great. Thank you so much for asking about her and Happy Holidays to you and your family as well! TFW!😊💕
Sorry about the Job loss, but maybe it is just to push you into other horizons. We do know that you will come out on top regardless. Yay to more videos and adventures.😊
Hey Anita, sorry about your layoff 😮Bigger and better is coming your way. You’re so blessed to have a husband that can take care of everything without you helping ❤Looking forward to what God has in store for you. Tfs
Hi Anita thanks for sharing this with us. We know everything happens for a reason. It's all about God's timing. Enjoy your free time. Love your positivity 🥰
Hey sis, so sorry about your job! However, sometimes blessings come in disguise, because now you can really focus on your content and do it full-time. I'm happy about it to see more content but sad with you because I know what loosing a job feels like. Let God lead you sis! You totally got this!! Tfs
Hello Anita, enjoying the video. I am ordering 2 of those backpacks. Did you have the large or XL? Enjoy this extra time, I will move back into the classroom in August and this extra time off I have finishing up school is so great not balancing a job along with school. I thank God daily my husband is able to hold things down ❤
Hey girl, hey! I have the XL and Oh wow, you’ve been busy and congratulations on finishing up school. That’s awesome and I’ so happy for and proud of you. Also, Kudos to your hubby for holding things down while you finished. Team work truly makes the dream work. TFW!😊💕
It's a blessing that u have your channel, sometimes things happen for a good reason, I have been working on my job for 17years,and looking forward to take early retirement in 2025 I will be 62 ,and just work part-time, it's not important to me anymore God will provide and better things will come our way stay blessed ❤
Believe me, I've been there and with a positive attitude (which you clearly have), some insight into your own talents and enjoyments, you'll find your path - whether that is "traditional" work or a new career! You'll be fine. So sorry, but again this can be a blessing for you and your family.
Hi Anita. Gurrrlllll I am 58 and we are getting a new director and I am the main secretary for a multi-director office. Whenever new head directors come in there is usually a lot of changes. I'm praying that this person is ok. If there's a lot of changes that I am not comfortable with I too may just come on out and go on and retire. I only have about 3 1/2 more years. I too am fortunately blessed and have a hubby that can hold it down until I can start drawing my full retirement and don't have to work BUT with my aging I have gained weight and it has effected my health so I don't want to just sit around. I am already starting to think about I feel you with the whole not wanting to be bothered with any cray-cray. Stress wouldn't mix well with my health issues. We will see what the Lord says. !know that you will do YOU and enjoy this new journey.
Hey Carinitha, thank you sis and we are going to pray and speak that this transition with your new Director will be smooth as can be so that you can hold on for those last 3.5 years. However, it is nice to know that you and I both have husbands that can and don't mind holding things down if need be, that is truly a blessing in itself. But yes, at this age we really have to take care of our health and try to keep our stress levels down. TFW!
Hey Sis, let that positive vibe that you all way have keep on Rollin. Not looking back but keep on moving forward. So, get that money from Unemployment that you paid into for years, and take it one step at a time you got this, and you'll figure out what the next phase of your life. Thank for another video and I don't care what you post. they are great inspirations. Ok let me get to cleaning Love Ya'll. Walt 😄
Anita I’m sorry and thanks for the encouraging words because I’m in the same situation mine is due to hurricane Helene and I’m 53 as well but I have twins who are juniors in high school. We will be alright.
Hey Anita Happy Sunday. I'm Sorry For Your Lay Off.Things Happen For A Reason. When One Door Closes. Another One Will Open.You Will Be Ok.Like You Say You Can Become FullTime On You Tube. Yes. I Love Your Channel. God Got This. Blessings To You And Your Family.
These companies ain’t 💩 working for a company 10 years of dedication. There is no loyalty with none of these companies. God Bless ❤ create more content . I was laid off back in 2021 from a major company Cigna and I working with them for 6 years I was disappointed. But oh well life moves on and something else is out there and better it’s gods timing. He is sending you something much better ❤❤❤
So sorry about the layoff Anita. Perhaps this is God’s plan and his way to move you into position for example getting better health like you said and possibly he is causing you to become a full time content creator. It is a new phase of life for you. God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing your real life experiences with us. God bless.
I got laid off at june, ever since then. I implemented a detailed budgeting strategy, tracking every expense and setting clear spending limits across all categories. In just six months, I saved over $60,000, giving me a strong sense of financial security and the ability to invest in my future. This approach has transformed the way I manage money, and I now feel more confident than ever about achieving my long-term goals.
@@Nancy-1w Working with Lorrie Greta Hillard , a financial advisor, was a game changer. She helped me refine my savings strategy, including retirement planning, and provided expert guidance on investments and budgeting to maximize my savings.
Well, well, hey girl hey! Now is your time to do whatever you want. My first 21 years I was a Respiratory Therapist, the next 15 years I taught pre- k, kindergarten, and then 2nd grade.

Aw, thank you so much and you are right, I’m not sad, just disappointed. I know these things happen and I’m not immune from them. I was really hoping I could retire from there. But, it is what it is and I just have to roll with the punches. I know God has my back and I’m trusting in him. Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words and Happy Holidays to you and your family as well. TFW!😊💕
Hey Anita! I'm sorry to hear about your layoff. 😢 But, I'm glad to hear that you're taking it in stride. I've been through two layoffs in my lifetime, so I totally understand. Just enjoy your time off, and I'm looking forward to more content.😊
Thank you so much and I’m glad you made it through both. I appreciate your kind and encouraging words and TFW!😊💕
Hey Anita! Sorry to hear about your job. But, thank God you are in the position that you are in that you don’t have to be mad or sad about it or have to rush to fine work. Or maybe even just not work at all. I am counting down the time when I retire in September, 2025! Thanks for sharing with us! Take care and be blessed my friend.
Hey Kimberly, thank you and congratulations to you because September will be here before you know it. Thank you for the encouragement friend and TFW!

Aw, thank you bookie! Love you!😊💕
Hi Anita, hope all is well. Thank for sharing your lay off from you job. I love how positive you were and that means a lot. God definitely has you and your husband in His hands. My husband and I are empty nester and enjoying every bit of it, but we definitely miss our children at times. We have 2 daughters and 2 sons. They are all grown and all 4 have graduated college. You have beautiful children. By the I’m be using the Ryze products for about 2 plus years. I love their mushroom coffee and matcha. I can’t wait to see more of your content. I haven’t created any content in about 2 years. I work a full time job as well and just wasn’t as motivated to create any. My children wasn’t me to start back. I’ve been praying about it so hopefully I will. You mentioned about menopause and mine has been a monster at times. I’m post menopause and I will be turning 59 in January. I also was using that same collagen you share and now I’m using the Black Girl collagen. Thanks for great video and blessings. ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words and you should continue to create content if you enjoy doing it. I know it can be difficult at times, especially while working full-time because content creation is a lot of work. Just post if and when you can and post videos around things that you enjoy. BTW, how do you like the Black girl collagen? I might give it a try. TFW!😊💕
You are right a lot of companies are doing lay offs . Just take your time looking and for sure tap into creating more content . You will surely be ok ❤.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words and TFW! Xoxo😊💕
Sorry to hear about your lay off. I look forward to seeing more videos. ❤
Thank you so much and TFW!😊💕
Lay offs are tough especially at our age but I think there’s so many companies laying off right now…but I was thoroughly confused as to why they would call you while on vacation that ticked me off, because it doesn’t matter if you’re in a good situation or not that was unnecessary in my opinion..Love your channel ❤❤❤
Aw, thank you and if you think you were confused, how do you think I felt? I was like, who does that? It was totally inappropriate and unnecessary to try and contact me while I was on vacation and I'm just glad that I did not call him back until I returned home. I've been working full-time in Corporate America since I was 19 years old and have never heard of anything like this. But it's ok, I just have to keep it pushing and that's what I'm going to do. TFW!
@ yes, totally inappropriate.
Anita, sorry to hear that you were laid off. God has another plan for your life Sis. This was another awesome video. How is your mother doing? Give her my love. Happy Holidays to you and your family. ❤❤🎄
Thank you so much for your encouraging words Reba and my mother is doing great. Thank you so much for asking about her and Happy Holidays to you and your family as well! TFW!😊💕
Sorry about the Job loss, but maybe it is just to push you into other horizons. We do know that you will come out on top regardless. Yay to more videos and adventures.😊
Aw, thank you so much and TFW!
Hey Anita, sorry about your layoff 😮Bigger and better is coming your way. You’re so blessed to have a husband that can take care of everything without you helping ❤Looking forward to what God has in store for you. Tfs
Thank you so much Liz and TFW!

God has a different path for you to travel.

Hey sis, so sorry about your job! However, sometimes blessings come in disguise, because now you can really focus on your content and do it full-time. I'm happy about it to see more content but sad with you because I know what loosing a job feels like. Let God lead you sis! You totally got this!! Tfs
Aw, thank you so much Shushana, I appreciate your kind and encouraging words sis. TFW!
Hello Anita, enjoying the video. I am ordering 2 of those backpacks. Did you have the large or XL? Enjoy this extra time, I will move back into the classroom in August and this extra time off I have finishing up school is so great not balancing a job along with school. I thank God daily my husband is able to hold things down ❤
Hey girl, hey! I have the XL and Oh wow, you’ve been busy and congratulations on finishing up school. That’s awesome and I’ so happy for and proud of you. Also, Kudos to your hubby for holding things down while you finished. Team work truly makes the dream work. TFW!😊💕
It's a blessing that u have your channel, sometimes things happen for a good reason, I have been working on my job for 17years,and looking forward to take early retirement in 2025 I will be 62 ,and just work part-time, it's not important to me anymore God will provide and better things will come our way stay blessed ❤

Hi Anita🤗Sorry you lost your job,everything happens for a reason Looking forward to seeing more of your videos🤗💕
Thank you Debra and TFW!😊💕
Believe me, I've been there and with a positive attitude (which you clearly have), some insight into your own talents and enjoyments, you'll find your path - whether that is "traditional" work or a new career! You'll be fine. So sorry, but again this can be a blessing for you and your family.
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! 💕
Hi Anita. Gurrrlllll I am 58 and we are getting a new director and I am the main secretary for a multi-director office. Whenever new head directors come in there is usually a lot of changes. I'm praying that this person is ok. If there's a lot of changes that I am not comfortable with I too may just come on out and go on and retire. I only have about 3 1/2 more years. I too am fortunately blessed and have a hubby that can hold it down until I can start drawing my full retirement and don't have to work BUT with my aging I have gained weight and it has effected my health so I don't want to just sit around. I am already starting to think about I feel you with the whole not wanting to be bothered with any cray-cray. Stress wouldn't mix well with my health issues. We will see what the Lord says. !know that you will do YOU and enjoy this new journey.
Hey Carinitha, thank you sis and we are going to pray and speak that this transition with your new Director will be smooth as can be so that you can hold on for those last 3.5 years. However, it is nice to know that you and I both have husbands that can and don't mind holding things down if need be, that is truly a blessing in itself. But yes, at this age we really have to take care of our health and try to keep our stress levels down. TFW!
Hey Sis, let that positive vibe that you all way have keep on Rollin. Not looking back but keep on moving forward. So, get that money from Unemployment that you paid into for years, and take it one step at a time you got this, and you'll figure out what the next phase of your life. Thank for another video and I don't care what you post. they are great inspirations. Ok let me get to cleaning Love Ya'll. Walt 😄
Aw, thank you for your kind and encouraging words Walt, I appreciate you and TFW!
Anita just take care of yourself for now,better thing are coming.❤👍
Thank you Raquel and yes, I'm going to take some time to take care of me. TFW!🙂💕
Sorry to hear about the layoff but God will work it for you! Looking forward to creative content. 🙏🏽❣️
Thank you so much!
Anita I’m sorry and thanks for the encouraging words because I’m in the same situation mine is due to hurricane Helene and I’m 53 as well but I have twins who are juniors in high school. We will be alright.
Oh wow Angie, I'm so sorry! I pray that you find something even better than what you had and that you are valued and appreciated. TFW!
I'm sorry to hear Anita, but i do believe things happen for a reason ❤🙏
Hey Leonor, thank you so much and TFW!

It’s always good to see you and know all is well!
Hey Kymm, Thank you and TFW!
So sorry about the layoff Anita. Perhaps this is God’s plan and his way to move you into position for example getting better health like you said and possibly he is causing you to become a full time content creator. It is a new phase of life for you. God bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing your real life experiences with us. God bless.
Aw, thank you so much for you kind and encouraging words Lucretia and TFW!🙂💕

I got laid off at june, ever since then. I implemented a detailed budgeting strategy, tracking every expense and setting clear spending limits across all categories. In just six months, I saved over $60,000, giving me a strong sense of financial security and the ability to invest in my future. This approach has transformed the way I manage money, and I now feel more confident than ever about achieving my long-term goals.
So done with 9-5, its Depressing! How did you manage to save up so much so quickly?
@@Nancy-1w Working with Lorrie Greta Hillard , a financial advisor, was a game changer. She helped me refine my savings strategy, including retirement planning, and provided expert guidance on investments and budgeting to maximize my savings.
Got it! Thanks for the tip! I was curious, so I looked up Lorrie
9-5 is a complete waste of time!
That is awesome it definitely makes a difference when life throws you a curve ball. Kudos to you and TFW!
When one door closed, he has something in store for something bigger and better.
Aw thank you for your kind and encouraging words and TFW!
How rude, from your job. Why not wait until you come back. So disrespectful. Happy holidays. to you and your family.
Thank you and lol...I agree with you, it was rude. However, we know these companies don't care. Happy Holidays to you and your family also and TFW!
