What Matters Most Now
United States
Приєднався 22 кві 2023
Hello! And welcome to my channel!
My name is Jill, I'm in my 50's and I live in Idaho. I had a career as a Realtor for many years that I recently stopped so I can focus on What Matters Most Now - caring full time for my parents, who both have dementia, as well as loving on my husband, adult children, grandchildren and myself.
Now that we have made the choice to go down to one income, can we make our budget work? Challenge Accepted! My daughter Chelsea @CatsAteMyBudget introduced me to this amazing budgeting community on UA-cam and I was hooked. Your stories inspire me! I started this channel to keep me accountable to my budgeting goals and to be a part of this great community I've been watching.
I look forward to knowing and growing with you as we have fun and stay motivated to stick to our goals! Can we do it? Heck yes! Together we can do anything!

Another great video and I enjoyed the cash condensing 💕
♥ 276 / 330 ♥ We are nearing the end! ♥
Hi jill, thanks for including our collab! Yay im on the board!! Go lilz!!
♥ 274 / 330 ♥
♥ 273 / 330 ♥ Nice pictures!
♥ I like the word search! ♥ 269 / 330. ♥
Fun! I have a Cha Ching thing! It came broken though! 😢 Great Savings! 🩵🐝💛🫶🏼
Newer Subbie Here👋🏼😍 I love that you make scratch off cards from wedding cards! Awesome idea!🩵🐝💛🫶🏼
Great wedding binder video, Jill! I laughed at the end when you said "uch, shes still thick" 😂
Great progress ❤❤ I hope you have a fabulous week 😊
♥ Goodnight Jill. ♥ 241 / 330 = 89 more to go! We'll see where we are in the morning. ♥
♥ 239 / 330 ♥ I remember seeing this video when it first came out. I like the Chip Away game! I eventually bought the game. ♥
Hi friend 🧡
♥ 236 / 330 ♥ Almost 3/4 of the way through!
You are doing great with the wedding 💒 binder 😊❤
You don't like cake?! I love cake lol.
When are you going to go through your saving challenge bag?
Btw, I think it's really clever to use cards for challenges.
The wedding challenges are so cool, your gonna save so much😊
Omg Booski everytime you do the 50 cents challenges I be so confused 😂. I'm like if it's only $.50 how she get $8. Or on the first one you said it needed it one more but then you started a new challenge 😂. I be lost i be screaming just do $1 bills 😂
Hi What Matters Most Now! Great content you got there. I think all this channel needs is a little push to get things moving. I can help with that. My info is on this very channel I'm using to comment.
♥ 228 / 329 ♥ Happy $2 Tuesday! ♥
I can not wait to see how much u save in just the wedding box game it’s going to be wild 🥰
♥ Good Morning Jill! 218 / 328 ♥
Everyone got some love Great that you can meal plan for a month I’m struggling with just a week 😂💙great video

So many great collabs! Thanks for playing ours!😊
You are very welcome! 😊 I am headed over to your channel to subscribe now! Thank you for the fun collab!!
Hey Jill! I always make sure i like it even if i can't comment right away. I love the idea of saving your likes for debt ❤️
You're the best! I didn't realize in the beginning how important it is to like and would just do it when I thought about it, but when I saw people saving for likes it made me realize, so now I hit like everytime, even if I cannot comment as well. I thought I would do one as well to help other people realize:)
Still here!,,
♥ 175 / 328 ♥ Over 50%!! ♥

I don't think mine ever functions liken it should🤣
Mine just spits the stuff out like its stuck in backwards mode! LOL I just ordered another so I will see if it works any better!
Oh, man, that's not good. I hope the new one works way better.
I don't think mine ever functions liken it should🤣
For the lotus, you randomly picked up and extra one. Just in case you were wondering.
Ah!! That's what I did!! Thank you!!
@WhatMattersMostNow of course!
You're meal planning but you're meal planning once a month to save time and energy.
Great way to reframe it!
@WhatMattersMostNow 100%
Yay, everyone got love!
I love it when that happens! Otherwise I usually cheat:)
@WhatMattersMostNow me too lol.
Nice! It's great that youre saving for debt again.
I am so excited! It is what drove me in the first place, so I feel like I am coming home!!
@WhatMattersMostNow I love that!
Oh my goodness! Love your Cha Ching gadget!😊😊💕

Thank you so much Valerie!! I can't wait to start our new collab!!
♥ 142 / 328 ♥ Goodnight for another day. Sweet dreams! ♥
Happy Freebie Friday Jill😊
Thank you Loletha!!! I hope the crazy weather is treating you right and you have a great weekend. It is negative or in the single digits still here (but we are used to it;))
That's too cold for me! We were in the low 20s now lower 30s🥶🥶 Stay warm, my friend 🧡
Like how you have set up these challenges and how you are documenting /saving your growth on UA-cam. Fun watching! Have a good weekend! 😊
Thanks so much! I hope you have a fabulous weekend as well!!! Try to stay warm!
