    Update on the mini challenges for me! I am happy to say that I now found better car and home owners insurance and cancelled cable tv just down to internet. I finally convinced the hubby it was the best thing to do and made it seem like it was his idea...lol..the things we have to do...I thank you for lighting a fire under me to help me feel some stress relief and that is part of my self care.

      I get so upset with myself when I quit for long periods and start back again. So frustrating. I’m telling myself “ I am not a smoker”.

    I will be doing #2 with more water but I’m also quitting smoking this week so. I quit last summer because of heat and hard time breathing in said heat but had a death in family and started back up after 4 months. But on week 4 of cash stuffing Journey, and it’s going well. Glad you are doing better.❤

    • @2SisterBees
      @2SisterBees  Рік тому +1

      I totally relate to your comment. I have quit so many times over the years and something always pulls me back. I have to say- for me, I’m always around someone else that smokes. I will quit for an extended period and then have something happen that is upsetting. Cigarettes are always too available for me. Always in the house. I am 100% determined this time to say NO. This is my health and my life- no one else’s. I have to repeat to myself, “I am not a smoker.” I just don’t do that.
      We can do this. Yes, it’s hard.
      It’s REALLY hard but it’s so worth it!

    Hey Jen, I hope everything turns out okay. I did not do the mini challenge last week, but my hubby and I went through 6 total boxes that have been just stacked up since we moved ( they were never unpacked lol). This next week I am going to start a self care routine. Drink less energy drinks, drink more water, and take control of my health. I have been experiencing some weird pain in my breast so I’m going for another mammogram to be sure its nothing serious! You and your sister April inspire me so much to save more and more money! Thank you!

    • @2SisterBees
      @2SisterBees  Рік тому

      I am so glad you are getting the mammogram. That’s how I was feeling, too. Just knew it wasn’t right. We know our bodies.
      Going through the boxes is SO GOOD! That is a chore!!
      I am so happy to hear that you are going to try to quit the energy drinks. I wonder if they have anything to do with your breast pain? We ingest such unnatural things and our bodies tell us. For me, it’s definitely cigarettes. I get so mad at myself everyday about them.
      We can change these habits- I’m with ya! 🙌

    Hey there! I noticed you don't have a "Fun" cash envelope that could help you save for those music concerts. This could help you save toward your next or any entertainment event which you know is just around the corner.

    • @2SisterBees
      @2SisterBees  Рік тому

      Yes, for sure. That is a great suggestion to have a fun envelope.
      We don’t necessarily need to have one - I wouldn’t buy the tickets if we couldn’t afford them. However, for someone like me that loves something like “summer concerts” - and needs to save up for those tickets- a Fun envelope would definitely get them there- guilt free!

      Hi Tracey- I’m not a financial advisor but I know what worked for me when I was in that situation. This is where you have to start cutting everything extra- and remember it’s temporary.
      Dave Ramsey suggests cutting any 401k contributions you’re making. And then anything extra like eating out, going out, shopping for anything that isn’t an absolute necessity.
      The second thing after cutting back on all spending is - extra income. Buying and reselling. Selling your own items. I cleaned houses on the side for a long time. I also asked my boss for more hours. I would go in on Saturday mornings and I took some work home, too.
      All you can do is spend less and make more. That’s the only thing that will work.
      You can do it!

    Question-- do you pay your car/home insurance in cash? I really want to do the cash system but am hesitant because of all the categories that we pay online or via autopay.

    • @2SisterBees
      @2SisterBees  Рік тому +1

      No I pay online. I pay everything online.
      When someone is new to the system, I think that starting off with just a few envelopes and working your way up is best.
      Maybe start a groceries, gas and spend envelope first. Get your budget written down and start seeing where you can save. Put the cash you save into a sinking fund envelope ( like next year’s car insurance ) and just keep socking away what you can.
      Also, make sure the FIRST thing you have set aside is your $1000 emergency fund.
      So if you don’t have that yet- do that first and THEN start one sinking fund envelope.
      We have a free printable tracker for your $1000 emergency fund linked here:

    I am glad you are doing better. I have been there and it can be a bit daunting not knowing what is going on. I did not have a heart attack but a blood flow issue. I can go go go but the moment I stopped running around, the blood going back into my heart is slower, so that causes one of the arteries to spasm. I manage my issue with medicine and has been working great for me. By the way, this is my new channel, I used to go by mayray15!! I will try to do something this week to improve my health. I already have changed my diet and have lost weight. although this week I have gone off the rails a bit due to it being my birthday and well why not. haha But back on the band wagon starting Sunday. Feel better and take it easy until you find out what the issue is.

      I’m glad you’re doing okay and know what it is to take care of yourself. Hey, good job on what you’ve done already and we all are allowed some time off to treat ourselves! 👏

    Sending positive vibes for good test results. Had already sold items at a yard sale the weekend before you mentioned it. I've also included daily walks back into my routine as of June 1. What I do need to work on it getting my anniversary trip planned.

      That’s so good! I also started daily walks (without Uhtred) - just for me to soak up some alone time and feel energized! It’s been so good for me. 💛
