However, with my new job and time adjustments, I will be working on a better schedule system for more consistency. Thank you all for stopping by to watch and show support.

Hey Karen! ❤😊 I think it's normal to feel overwhelmed from time to time. You're doing great! ❤ I ironically love scratch offs because i can avoid decision paralysis. 😂
Heeeyyyyy Karen! Happy Sunday! ❤😁 Were you able to pay off Dental First?
Hi Hailey! I have a video coming out later this week with an update!
Hello! You are doing great ❤❤
Hi Katie! Thank you!
great video Karen, I get tired or bored with a challenge if it goes too long
Thank you, Christy! I know but it will be done soon.
Hey Karen! ❤😊 I don't notice if a video is out of order. 😂 I'm just happy to see ya post! 😁
Haha, they aren't out of order. I said that because I filmed this video before I posted the other one and I was thinking out loud. Proud to say I'm happy with my decision lol
Great savings🤑
Thank you em
Great video ❤
Hi Kate! Thank you.
Hey Karen! Awesome video! Don’t be sorry I totally get it, I get board easily too. If it was me I’d call that owl challenge and put that money into the 2024 for your house! 👍🏼🥰💜
Haha. I want to finish it and put it into the binder. For whatever reason I thought I would get through it pretty quickly but it's taking so much longer than I thought.
Good morning Karen! ❤😊
Morning Hailey!
Hey, quick question - how come your car payment isn't on the debt list? It's totally a debt, my friend! I know, I know, lots of people think car payments are just another bill. But trust me, they're like a ball and chain on your finances, holding you back from living your best financial life. Listen, you can totally score a sweet ride without breaking the bank. When I was digging myself out of debt, I rocked this 17 year old Toyota RAV4. It was no big deal, seriously. Only issue I ever had was flat tires, but hey, that's just part of the car game, old or new. That car payment? It's like flushing money down the toilet every month. Think about it - if you took that $500 you're handing over to the dealership and threw it into investments instead, you'd be rolling in $72K in just 7 years. How sick is that? Oh, and get this - cars are basically money pits on wheels. They lose value faster than ice cream melts on a hot day. Did you know a shiny new car drops 20% in value the second you drive it off the lot? Mind-blowing, right? And don't even get me started on cable. It's like throwing money down the drain. I get that you're busy, but not dealing with it is costing you big time. Why not switch to streaming? It's like $10 instead of $200. That's $190 in your pocket for like 10 minutes of work. Easy peasy! That $200 a month? It's like $2400 bucks a year, just sitting there! You could totally knock out a bunch of your debts with that cash. Or hey, if you're feeling festive, it could fund your entire Christmas party! Here's a little pro tip for ya - you're kinda doing your budget thing backwards. Start with what's coming in, not what's going out. If you focus on what you owe first, you'll never have any cash to play with. And that extra cash? That's your ticket to kicking debt to the curb and building some serious family wealth. Now, let's talk about those plans of yours... Your emergency stash should be your number one priority, hands down. Without it, any little hiccup could send you spiraling back into debt city. Trust me, emergencies are like surprise parties - they're gonna happen whether you're ready or not. Not having an emergency fund? That's an emergency in itself. Oh, and don't forget to set aside some cash for car maintenance. Your wheels need some love too. Home stuff is cool and all, but keep that car purring first. Christmas? Pfft, that should be the least of your worries right now. It's not like it sneaks up on us - it's the same time every year, like clockwork! Getting your money game in order is way more important than a bunch of presents under the tree. I get it, you wanna make the kiddos happy. But here's the deal - years from now, they won't remember what Santa brought them. They'll remember the cool stuff you did together. So why not get creative and make gifts this year? Or do a Secret Santa thing? Or take them on a free adventure, like cruising around to check out Christmas lights or having a festive camping trip. They'll always remember the Christmas when mom was a total boss and crushed her debt for their future. For real, being debt-free is like the ultimate gift you could ever give your family - imagine spoiling them without feeling guilty at all! And hey, I don't know what your retirement situation's looking like, but if you're behind on savings, your kids might end up feeling like they gotta take care of you down the road. Getting your money sorted now is like giving them a gift for the future - they'll look back and be like, "Wow, mom really hustled to make all our lives better!" Look, I'm not trying to rain on your parade here, I'm just keeping it real with you. As a money coach, I can't help but play Sherlock Holmes with budgets. I see the same oopsies over and over, and I just can't keep my mouth shut when I know how awesome things could be. I've been there, drowning in debt, making all the same mistakes you and my other clients are. But now? I'm living that debt-free life, and let me tell you, it's pretty freakin' sweet. Hey, if you want me to keep helping you get your money game on point, just holler! I'm totally here to be your cheerleader and help you crush those financial goals. Let's make that debt-free life happen!
Hello! Great stuffing 💚
Thank you!
Nice cash stuffing 💌
Thank you so much!
Hey Karen! ❤😊
Hi Hailey!
Great stuffing❤❤❤
Thank you!
Great stuffing! ❤
Thank you!
Great video! ❤
Thank you!
Hey Karen! ❤😊 Do you pay your debts once a month or biweekly? Tangent that you can choose to ignore 😅 : I was doing so biweekly & saving for extra debt payments. However, I decided that my emergency savings is more important right now. So i took what my monthly payment would be, divided it by 12, and added it to my monthly payment amount. Ot adds up to an extra debt payment eventually, just in smaller bites. Don't know if this would be helpful to you during this transition period or something you can switch to until your first full check comes. 😊
Hi Hailey! I pay once a month because it is easier for me to keep track. I know that it would probably be beneficial to do it twice a month. I may do it in the future.
Great job on your budget planning! 😊
Thank you!
Hi Karen! I hope your new job is better fit for you!
Thank you Eva! I hope so too
good luck at your new job

Love the long form content too! You did an awesome job (even with a stray F buck 😂)❤😊 I've seen budgeters use CapCut for editing their videos. Haven't used it, but have seen it at the end of a lot of videos lately. 😊 "Can i read palms? No, but it sounds cool." 😂😂😂 I'm over student loans too. 😭 Trying not to get burnt out between paying them & savings. 🥲
Super fun! ❤ Cute!
Thank you!
