⚠️ This video is NOT sponsored. I only share products and brands I truly love, use and enjoy. All opinions are always my own and 100% honest.
Just an idea… maybe a video vlog showing how to survive a week with your old budget, like when you first started your debt journey. Maybe not with fixed expenses, but you could try a grocery haul with your old grocery budget for the week. With the current price of things that would be a big challenge.
That would be interesting
Such a good idea omg!!!!
I've been watching your videos for years now and find your journey very impressive. I love how you have shown that it takes time and hard work but also that you have had fun too! I really appreciate you sharing so much of your life to help others
Wow, thank you!
I agree
Sarah!!! I loved this whole concept of weekly spending and vlog life!!!😍😍I loved the outfits and shopping too!!!👗👍🏾👍🏾
Glad you liked it!!
I love how real you are Sarah! You’re truly an inspirational woman! Keep doing amazing things!
I have so missed your vlog style videos🥰 I literally have eight playlists with all your early debt-free journey videos in order, SO INSPIRING!!! You were such a beast in 'scorched earth' mode!
You're awesome!!! I'm a huge supporter. Keep up the good work Girl!! 👍
Thank you so much!!
Good to see all the puppies 😊 Yes Jacob adhering to the "pets on you can't move" rule 😂 You look lovely in autumnal colours Sarah 🍂 New office new wrapping paper?
Loved it! Miss your old vlog style vids. Was a perfect mix of business and pleasure!
Glad you like them!
I'm not nearly internet fancy enough, but if anyone wants to recommend this to @GrahamStephan - I'd be honored. Graham, feel absolutely free to eviscerate me. :-D
That would be amazing!!!!!
yes I hope he does!
I thought of him right away.
I love the fashion shots of your outfits. This is a great video. I like seeing Jacob in the videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching as always Darrell!
I really like this type of video! Thank you for being so open and honest with us! Please take care of yourself you seemed really tired a lot.
I am exhausted and when you had both dogs on you I totally forgot you had a newish dog and did a major double take thinking Maggie had 2 heads and it was some computer glitch. Awesome video. Your life looks like the perfect balance of chill and fun!
you've come such a long way! those rents are coming in clutch
They're the BEST. I can't wait to have more than one prop!
I really liked that you showed the environment in which you live. It was good to see the kind of things you might be doing off screen. I liked that you showed your work environment -- and managed that in a non-intrusive way, thus respecting your co-workers and employer. It also showed the everyday circumstances where any of us might find our selves making 'unplanned' purchases, which I personally found a useful lesson. (Not that unplanned purchases are a sin).
Thank you! I always aim to be as respectful as possible. (and try not to get fired :-)
Good video! I like that a person can have a budget and yet have a coffee or occasional treat. Also, that fall colored floral dress is so cute! And I loved seeing Jacob play with the dogs. Adorbs!
Thank you!
Very productive week! Love seeing behind the scenes!
Clicked so quickly!!! Very welcomed on another Monday 😊
Thank you so much Samwise! I hope you enjoy it!
Such a fun video! Loved it.... been following you for years.... back in the day watching you knock down that debt!!! So impressed with you!!! 🙂
I love this vlog style video and hope you'll do more!
These kinds of vlogs are great- real life, inspirational and relatable.
I love this entire video, but I adore the puppies. The wall paper is pretty too.
Thank you so much!
I absolutely loved this video! I would love more like this. Also, can you show us the homemade ramen recipe that you use?
Loved getting more insight into your daily life! 🖤
Glad you enjoyed!
Also love your videos. Always look forward to them.
Loved seeing Rory!
Like the spendy vlogs!
This was a fun video! I would love to see more like it in the future :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
oh this was such a fun video to watch! and love the fits, that pink dress and the green monochrome outfit were both so cute!
Loved loved loved this vlog. It's this style that made me a subscriber from way back in Mena days. Looking forward to the weekend vlog.
Yay! Thank you!
@@BudgetGirl Gawd I'm nosey!
This was a lot of fun. Do more of these!
So glad you like them!
Loved the vlog style of this :)
Love these kinds of vlogs! Hope y’all had fun in Austin. I LOVE The Container Store!!!
Great video!! You are a big inspiration
Glad you think so!
Neat to see the campus. I'm Canadian and used to work for a printing company that printed your A & M books. 📚
How cool!
You look fab in your office - owning your destiny - love it!
Girl......you INSPIRE me !!!

This was fun! ♥️
Love these type of videos!
Loved this!!
Look at all the good stuff you've added to your home since your last in-home video! How's about a tour of all the new acquisitions and how the apartment has changed in response to your style of living?
Great video
great video style that was fabulous
Thanks so much!
I stole your saying on the podcast. I am the personal finance Swiss Army knife 😂❤❤❤❤
I’m going to Austin for a week I’ll be there for Xmas
Times are tough right now I think people are holding onto there money a little tighter
You're in mensa???? I wanted to join back in undergrad... what kind of testing did you do?
Not me! I was always great in school but am not a test whiz - Jacob has been a member since his teens! You pay a fee and do a proctered test. They're scheduled on the mensa sites!
My Sister is Mensa smart but struggles with reality/common sense!
I need a Jacob! How did you two meet?
Tinder :-)
I love College Station.
Who do you use for booking your sites?
I have airbnb and vrbo accounts.
What is the name of the song and who performs the first song in this blog? Must Find!
I think it’s amazing that the school you work for doesn’t mind you sharing your salary? Also, are you paid 1 time a month??
Most places can't tell you to not share your salary! And yes, i'm paid once a month on the first, which is very nice!
What does the kit sign say on the wallpaper? Sorry, can’t make it out, but it’s such s feature; I got to know :)
Gig 'em - it's a Texas a&m phrase!
How do have a cell phone bill 11.00
You can see your address when you show package you are going to mail out in the video you may want to edit that out!
If I book the Agwagon can you get me a meet and greet with Reville 🤪
I don't have those kind of connections unfortunately!
@@BudgetGirl if I do get to TX I’ll definitely try to stay at the Agwagon. And, apparently meeting Reville is harder than meeting the US President! I’ve heard they rarely stop with her on campus when she is working.
I've been here over 5 years and met her twice. Once at a planned tour thing where she came to the building I work and once at an Ihop. She's lovely!
Gotta love a free lunch!
How is your car insurance and phone so cheap?!?! I pay $170 for my phone plan that my mom is on and it would be half that if it were just me. Car insurance is $230 and we have a multi car discount.
So these are the bills for just the week, so multiply that by 4 for the month. I have an unlimited straighttalk plan for $53 a month and have had it for 7+ years. The phone is paid for. There are even cheaper plans with places like mint. Yall should shop around! On the car insurance, I check the rate about every year or so. I actually thought it was too high. but again the car is paid off and a 2016 model. It could be the areas we live in as well. I have a free insurance checker on my site. See if you can get a better deal! budgetgirl.com/toolkit
No one at your age, let alone mine at almost 42 knows about a Roth IRA. That’s pretty damn good.
More often than not, I make a conscious choice not to bring my wallet, because #applepay everything! Lol😅
What? Another cute outfit.
How is your electric, water, insurance and phone soo cheap??
Those are just the weekly numbers! x4 for monthly expenses.
Your puppy multiplied?!?!?!
what do the lights say on the wallpaper?
Gig 'em - its a texas a&m phrase.
How does one do what you do at the university?
I have a degree and background in journalism and made the career swap from working for a newspaper to college communications about 5 years ago. However any writing/ editing background could qualify you!
Cute outfit.
Cute dress.
Oh no. I would have made the worker at Starbucks round that up a penny!
How is your phone bill so cheap????
That was my phone bill divided by 4 since I was only calculating for one week of the month, but i use straighttalk, which is like $52 a month. mint mobile is also very cheap!
Do you still have Rory? And two new pups? Plus Jacob’s dog ( don’t remember the name)
Yup! All three dogs make appearances and get mentioned in this video.
It seems like you will end up with 500 beyond the $6,000 in your Roth IRA for the year
I'll double check!
Can you legally drive without your license in Texas? Wouldn't you have to go back for your purse for that, if nothing else?
Really?! Have you never forgotten anything?
Yes, but I didn't realize until I was already at work and I have a pic of my license/ insurance in my Google drive I could have pulled up if I needed. Either way I would have been without it for a drive home.
@@Nwladylaura369 I wasn't scolding Sarah. I was asking if she would have been in big trouble without her license in Texas, which is usually in a person's wallet/purse. It is good she had a picture of it on her phone, at least. Where I live it would have been a HUGE problem - the digital pic may not have even been enough to get me out of it, and it is an expensive crime in many places, so I was asking out of concern.
Please don't assume everyone is criticizing. I know text doesn't allow for intonation, but my wording was neutral, not inflammatory, for a reason.
Do you have a budget for each property?
I track income and expenses in a section of my monthly budget and then organize that info for my tax guy yearly. I have a checking/ savings account for the properties overall with an emergency fund within the savings for things that might come up!
Just wondering how you invest with the stock market being so volatile right now.
I buy index funds and leave them alone/ don't look at it. Mostly I do vtsax, vanguard total stock market index fund. Fidelity has a great one too.
Pets are great, but expensive. Have you tracked how much of a drain the dogs are on your monthly budget?
I have a small dog and it costs about $30 a month. Yearly she gets shots and maybe two vet appointments per year. So it’s not that much to me and she is my daughter dog! I would never trade or give her up. Guessing about $600/700 per year total.
I am not a fan of the volume - sometimes you are whispering and sometime you are yelling. I have to adjust up and down. very annoying. Couldn't make it through the entire video, sorry.
Pets are great, but expensive. Have you tracked how much of a drain the dogs are on your monthly budget?
a ...... DRAIN? More like an investment in mental health!
The dogs are a joy, but yes they cost money. They don't go to day care often, only when both of us are traveling, so a few times a year. Even nice pet food isn't that much, and annual vet stuff. I'd say about $1k a year for the trio unless we have a puppy medical emergency. I can afford it and happily spend it.
