Heeeeeyyyyyy,
It's Mech and welcome to my channel Being_Mech, on this channel I discuss fitness and finances. I have been immersed in fitness for years as an enthusiast and as a former collegiate athlete. In regards to finances, I became serious about budgeting, paying off debt, investing, retirement savings, and living a meaningful life without invoking negative financial practices back in 2017. While I am not a fitness trainer or financial advisor, I know that my story adds value to anyone starting out on their own fitness journey or financial freedom journey.

A Week In My Life: Hiking | Working Out | Planning | Cleaning | Financial Literacy Class
Heeeeyyyyyy,
In today’s video I am going to be showing you guys what I did for the week since I took a few vacation days in celebration of my birthday. As a disclaimer, this is not my typical week being that I am on vacation but there are aspects of it that I would like to incorporate into my normal weekly routine. As I continue down my different journeys, I am making so many memorable experiences while taking little bits and pieces to make part of my daily life. Whenever I travel, one goal is to always see how I can replicate some aspect of it so that I am not always waiting for the next vacation to experience a particular thing. Right now I am making it a priority to get out into nature regularly because I feel grounded and I am pushing myself to seek out new activities like the sound bowl healing class. I hope that you enjoy the video and don’t forget to leave me a comment down below.
Question: What is something about your week that you always look forward to completing ?

When I find myself in these moods I have to remember that something is better than nothing. The biggest take away has to be the two documentaries that I watched.

The kayak story is hilarious 😂
I feel like I can only do it partial justice without footage….. I equate it to a kayak version of Tiny and Shekinah on the bike …. If you haven’t seen it type it in to google 🤣 !!!
👏
I am just out here trying to get it together 😆
“They charge a resort fee, even though this is not a resort” 😂😂
I looked up the word resort and technically any hotel falls under the meanings…BUT … I think of Jamaica/Bahamas ~ How Stella Got Her Groove Back when I hear the word resort 🤣 !!!
Should’ve kept that Kmart fit 😊
I will have to find a better replacement.. lol
I’m waiting for Biden to forgive my student loan debt , otherwise they ain’t getting paid 😂 they should’ve made better decisions ..lending 30k to an 18 year old with no job sounds crazy🤷🏽♀️
I had to give up on that a long time ago … lol … Best case scenario would be them returning my money at the end of the year 😂🤣. I do agree that it’s crazy the amount of money they will lend young adults but wouldn’t give them that amount of money in any other scenario.. Smh 🤦🏾♀️…. This SAVE plan reduces your monthly loan payment but extends the life of the loan so you will pay even more in the end 😳…. I am hoping Biden comes through for you 🫣.
Love, love, love the video!!! Wishing you a prosperous year and you receive everything on ur vision board!! 5:30 I just adore 😊❤😂
Thank you so much and I wish you the same. I figured the video would not be complete if I did not put in the last clip . hahah
@@being_mech5615 I agree 🤣🤣
Happy New Year 🎉❤
Happy New Year!! I hope you have a great year.
“A large for who ? The elves”🤣😂
I am not that tall to where the pants should be flooding like that … lol …. That fact that I showed up like that is funny as well … 😂
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!!
Congrats to ur increase in subs! 🎉❤ Hi, new subbies! U made the right decision 👏🏼 ❤😊. Great video! Love how God has been able to combine ur two focuses in life into one keeping u in the direction you want to go!
Thank you so much, it has taken longer than expected but I am not any less happier about the progress. I appreciate you for watching my videos and commenting when you can !!! I am working on a few cool things so be on the look out for my content in the near future.
We don’t wanna see your drawls lol 😂jk . Cool video
I had to go watch and be like I know I wasn’t zooming in on those … lol
@@being_mech5615 😂🤣
New Subscriber here. Just found your channel. It's great to be here supporting another budgeter! Will be following your journey, great video.
Thank you so much for subscribing !!!! I am pleased to meet another budgeter and I wish you well along your own journey. The more I stick to my own plans and reach new levels the more I cherish the opportunities that I have had and knowledge I gain by consistently budgeting.
Awesome Mech!!
Thanks! 😁
So true I like to enjoy the journey of being patient because like you say that is how you find the comfort of how it was brought to you. So no need to rush because it is there.
I am glad that I am learning how important this aspect of waiting is in general. If we wait patiently we get to enjoy the journey and the blessing versus only the blessing if we are overly focused on that receiving of the blessing.
Good for you. It'll change your life for the good. 🙏
Stay encouraged in the Lord.
Great video is so true about staying true to habits keeping track of old and regaining new habits going a little off track and staying focused is the goal to make your life easy.
Absolutely, it took me some years but I can finally comprehend how establishing good habits in various areas of your life makes it so much easier. It is not always easy to get started but it is definitely worth it. The tricky part is finding habits that serve you and doing them in a way that serves you. Some of us forego good habits that serve us because we didn't find the best way to implement them into our current life situation. Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment!
Love the background looks very peaceful! Excited for the ur new lives every Sunday definitely tuning in!! ❤😊
Thank you so much and it was very peaceful. That candle I had made the experience that much better. I look forward to seeing you online on Sunday. This is something new for me but I think I will enjoy it !!
like it!incredible ~catch you later~👌
Thanks, I will be going back in the future to do a bit more exploring. I would say it is for those that want to get away from the super tourist-like places.
Every little bit more than the minimum payments counts toward student loan payments. I've been saving up my student loans in a high yield savings account just waiting for my first payment to kick in. I took this route because the way inflation has been, it really got me worried about job loss. I am following the Dave Ramsey approach, but also taking advantage of the pause to save up for at least three months of emergency. By October I hope to hit both goals of paying off loans and having an emergency fund in place.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤
Congrats on establishing an emergency fund !!! It truly does give you a peace of mind while paying off debt and building your financial portfolio. I think people underestimate how quickly additional payments will help you pay off a loan if you are contributing an extra 50-150 dollars a month.
Thank you. The struggle has been prominent, putting me in a direction to do better financially, although I tried my best to enjoy myself along the way. I look forward to seeing more videos from you.
you can do it :)
Likewise‼️
👏
Good tips though ima start these accountability meetings!
Let me know how they go for you ?
Looks delicious
Thank you 😋
It was the laugh at the beginning! 😂
As soon as I realized what I said I was like girl what are you saying and I couldn’t help but laugh at myself 🤣.
Congrats on the promotion! 💃🏽
Thank you 😊 !!! I was just watching one of your videos today .. lol
@@being_mech5615 😅 what a coincidence!
Giiirrrlll!! Budgeting is so hard but it is well worth it! I say it's hard because life will hit u wit unexpected bills that u don't EVVVVERRR think of. Example my goal is to pay my car off by Sept, and now that will be delayed because I have to replace my whole front window due to a crack that has now spread across the bottom of my window. How someday I wish I was a psychic so I could be prepared for things like that 😂😂.. thanks for the video!!!
I can definitely relate to unexpected expenses but I hope you are able to pay your car off by September….. I paid my car off a few years ago and I still get super excited about not having a payment!!!
🔥
💙💪🏾
My favorite thing to meal prep is breakfast burritos and Buddha bowls or burrito bowls . Easy to customize with different veggies , beans, rice etc.
👍
Proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone..
Thank you, this really was a BIG DEAL for me and it was something I contemplated doing for a long time .
Great advice on adding additional payments on ur mortgage! I started making small payments every week towards my principal for my car! Great video as always! 🫶🏽🤑
Before I paid off my car I use to make my monthly payment then I would look at my bank account every weekend and make another transfer. Those additional payments would vary between 25 - 100 dollars … It truly does make a difference and thanks for watching !!!
@Being_Mech that's my goal to get to $100 a week. I want to be finished by the end of this year!
Love the video n the recommendation for the book!! I also love Google calendar it helps organize all my appointments!
You will always catch me with my phone out to input a date/time to some appointment. I want the reminder on my phone and the one from them... lol
Love what you got so cute
Thank you , I haven’t been to the outlets in so long but I am super happy I went.
Its been 6 years, but I have some questions. After what time do you start eat more normal with the tounge crib? Does the tounge get use to it? Over time, do you stop feeling this metal in your mouth? I had one few days ago and it is so discomfortable. I am sorry for my bad English.
I think it took me about 4 weeks for me to get use to having the metal in my mouth… I stuck to soft foods for awhile I think that was a combination of having the braces and the tongue crib.
@@being_mech5615 Thank you! And that the difficulty of taking solid foods for several months is not pleasant. For me It's starting to get quite a bit better now with the tounge crib, but it's still terrible. I hope to have a completely normal life soon.🥲
Loving the new set, sound, and editing! I do sleep on dollar tree 🌳! But with us bein in a recession it's about to my favorite store!! 😍
Thank you so much … It took me forever to find the plants I wanted !!!
🔥🔥
Thank you !!
Thanks for the updated video!! However We missing two workout videos! Starting to feel my pounds come on! Pls hellppp!!! Thanks 😊
Let me get my life together 🫠🤣… but they are soon to come
Finally!!! I've been waiting for weeks for a video! Pls do a video on how u paid ur car off in a yr!
I am BACK … lol …. I will be sure to post that video sometime this month.
This was fun! I like the cards ⬜ I do the same thing with my paychecks (direct deposit to different bank accounts). It's been a game changer!
I thought the cards would be a little different … lol … I agree that having my direct deposit go into 3 different account was a game changer… When it was left up to me I would never transfer that amount that I said I was.
Just got a massage with them, and it was crazy expensive as a non-member. Will definitely be switching, or cutting back luxuries in general
I usually get massages and facials there, I found a local spot to replace the massage aspect but I am still looking for someone to do my facials 😫 …. After I use my two credits I am definitely canceling my membership.
❤️ ??o?o??
I am glad that you loved the tips.
Yes ma'am! Take yall time and enjoy YOUR journey! 😉 .. Love the video! Great tips!
Thank you so much and yes I really believe that part of enjoying your own journey is living and the moment while embracing what is to come !!! I always appreciate your comments 🤗
Yes, all of that resonated with me! Thanks for the tips :)
I am glad they resonated with you !! I wish I had known about them sooner in my own debt free journey.
I want to start getting up earlier so I can have time for ME and I don’t immediately have to start getting ready for work!
I swear that waking up early to do a few things for yourself ( i.e. read, meditate, exercise, self care) really does have a huge impact on your day .
This face u made at 3:30 is hilarious! But I understand that pain! It's the worst when u wake up the next morning!!!
You don’t have to do too many before you start to feel the burn 🔥 !!
I believe!! Jus five alone will have u in the floor
What is the reason u walk on the incline alternating between holding the top of machine and arms down on your side ? Does it affect the muscles worked out or something ?
Walking on the incline helps target your calf’s, glutes, and hamstrings in general…. Me personally, I feel when my hands are down I am able to stride longer and I feel it more in my calf’s and hamstrings verses when they are up I activate my glutes more .
I love me some cardio! About to walk out drenched like u! 👍🏼.. thanks for the video!
I swear you sweat and it doesn’t even feel like it .
