      A car is a blessing. Learn how to maintain her, learn how to fix her, and she will make your life infinitely better and easier! Always check your oil and brake fluid, make sure you have power steering fluid and coolant. Get your oil changed every 3000 miles, without fail! It's $20 and way cheaper than a new engine! Check your battery regularly. Only put distilled water in your battery and tighten your battery connections every few months. Enjoy the freedom of your new car and stay safe❤

    Started July 2020 I saved over 10k, everyone should save dollars especially if you come from nothing, my mind set is to set up for the next generation and breaking the cycle of always starting over for the next generation. Coming from nothing to making good dollars is probably one of the hardest things to deal with, because you got to mentally fight off the poor mindset and not getting into debt with fancy things.

    Congratulations on your saving! Being disciplined with money is difficult. Your obedience will pay off greatly! I started with a remixed version of Dave Ramsey baby steps and have since been a Reddit lurker and am on my way to F.I. I’m still on my journey and have learned a simplistic lifestyle is best for me. When I spoil myself I go all out! I’m actually getting ready to dye some of my black clothes black; I hate when they are different color blacks. It helps me cut down on always buying new clothes. Totally random but part of the plan. Keep up the great work, sis!

    I love this. First video of yours I watched and I’m proud of you. I’m doing a 52 week challenge to save $5,000 but what makes it stand out that it’s not a “week by week” that gradually increases. There’s 52 boxes with amounts ranging from 25-200. Whatever your budget is that week you’ll find the box suitable at that time for your wallet at that time of the year and cross it off. And I’ll do more than one box at a time when I get my hands on extra money due to tax refund, stimulus, mandated overtime, etc.

      Using the 52-week money challenge, you should deposit an increasing amount of money each week for one year. Match each week's savings amount with the number of the week in your challenge. In other words, you'll save $1 the first week, $2 the second week, $3 the third week, and so on until you put away $52 in week 52.Dec 8, 2020
