    2025 is my year to save. My mantra this year is going to be "Do you want it or do you need it" I've been decluttering and getting rid of "stuff". It is such a freeing feeling.

      Us too! We actually decluttered our entire house in 2024 and now we are saving money, just from that. After we got rid of so much stuff that made empty promises we don't click the buy button near as much! So, like you, 2025 is the year of saving!

    I love these reset videos… Thumbs up for- your health, Jason’s encouragement, standing up for your child’s medical appt, 5k, yappin, NASA shirt ( my son works there). The statement about how you kept on going when sick, after surgery, tired, worried etc is a testament to what kind of person / mother/ wife you are, so take a bow AND guess what 2024 is over.

    Oh Lydia dealing with a possible epilepsy diagnosis is so scary. My 11 yr old is epileptic. For 3.5 years now. We haven’t been seizure free for more than a week yet. Last weekend he had a seizure while eating and choked. Turned blue and stopped breathing. We had to call 911! Thankfully my husband literally saved him. Heimlich and cpr. The Neuro drs are so expensive and we are probably loosing our insurance this year. Hugs.

    Thank you for the honesty, 2024 was a tough year indeed, glad we both made it out alive)
    As for the possible epilepsy - there are several reasons for that even if you get the diagnosis. One of the reasons - traumatic birth process and then there is a big chance of getting rid of the epilepsy for good with patience and constant medication. That happened to me, took 12+ years to cure, but it happened. Still hope it is not epilepsy with your daughter and everything is going to be just fine.

    2024 was the hardest year of my life (which is quite an accomplishment, as I’ve had many really difficult and traumatic experiences over the years.) I feel like I’m only just starting to recover. But I kept myself and my kids safe, and my child who was hospitalised for 5 months has continued to get better and started college. We hold ourselves to such a standard but sometimes the achievement is to make it out alive and with the important stuff intact. Here’s to 2025. Thanks for your videos, really grounding and relatable.

    2024 was a better year for me than 2023 was. I barely survived 2023. 202r wasn't anything to write home about but it wasn't so stressful, it was smoother. Hopefully 2025 will be even better. I'd like to have a good year.
    The healthcare system is difficult to navigate. My son has LGS, a rare severe form of epilepsy. So i know all about the struggle with EEGs. His neurologist ordered an MRI a year ago and we have had the MRI scheduled twice and both times they canceled it while we were there at 5am after driving over an hour to the hospital. We're about to schedule it for the 3rd time. The childrens hospital is booked out 4 to 6 months in advance so its a lot of waiting

    Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable. Great job on completing the 5k. Finishing is more important than where (you were ahead of everyone who started, but didn’t finish and way ahead of all of us that never started). This is something to be proud of. I had to laugh when you shared Jen and Jill’s (Frugal Friends podcast) book that came out today 🥳 because I was the one you had the “conversation” with on a prior video about it not being out until January. 😂 I’ve read it (got an early copy in December) and listened to it today. I’m also listening to Lisa Jewel’s book so good to know you recommend it. Wishing you a better 2025 and finishing your degree this year! 👩‍🎓 You got this.

    Our healthcare system sucks. Did you know if we go in a nursing home we have to earn time out (go home for a holiday). It’s jail for the old. My brother got wrongly diagnosed for months then died within 2 weeks of lymphoma. 48 with a 5 year old. I don’t know what 2025 holds but I’m over people. No drama. No clutter. I seriously could sell everything I own and start new.

    For 2024, I'm most proud of traveling solo. It was empowering and gave me the impetus to do more traveling in the future. I have decided in the last 2 years that I'm saving money for travel. I will wear old clothes, thrifted clothes, drive my 20 year old car, not go out to eat, etc etc. On a really meager salary, I have managed to save enough to go on a trip this year. A big trip. That is my bright spot for 2025. Other than that, I'm just laying low and especially hoping to keep my health insurance.
