You don’t owe any of us any explanations.
No explanations are necessary. But, it is annoying when people bring up the subject time and again. It's very gracious of you to "let the people know." It was a blessing to see you again today! 💕
Amen to everything said here!
Right and what’s so annoying about those comments is that most people can’t even say they have paid off cars.
She works and saves for everything. It's unbelievable what they put her through. 😢
Nobody's business - period!
I’m surprised that people have already forgotten about the supply issues of only 2 years ago. Rude people don’t see themselves as others do. I understand your desire to explain your situation again because that is who you are. We are not in your shoes, but the majority of us wouldn’t even ask. Hugs.
Linda, that was the same summer our a/c went out too, and the company we were going with at the time had to wait for a part to come in before they could fix it, which turned out to be much longer than we had hoped, so we ended up finding another a/c company that was able to come out fairly quickly and fix the a/c thankfully!
I have found that explaining oneself to strangers on the internet is at best a waste of time and at worst invites abuse. These people are often bored and unhappy. They want to misunderstand what you’ve said. Giving them the satisfaction of knowing that you are concerned may be a mistake
I own a 2013 Ford Fusion! She is a beast, 193k and still going strong. 💪
We have a 2012 Fusion with 200k miles. It runs great. We love it.
Wow
You did the best that you could. People always have something to say, don't they?
God bless you, Dawn! You are a sweet, patient, and honest human being! Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Oh my….I am so thankful I am not in your place of having to explain why I make the decisions I make.
Continued blessings friend ❤
You do what is best for you period !!!
MoneyMom, you do not need to explain or justify to anyone why you do what you do. It’s nobody’s business. You’ve often said, “you do you”. I’m still gonna be here no matter what… no judgement from my part. Thx for always sharing your points of view 😉
I'm amazed some people can be so judgemental. I mean it's one thing to share how you save money on something, but it's not cool to judge what someone else pays. You just do you Money Mom. That's all that really matters. ❤
You don't owe anyone an explanation. Love your channel.
I appreciate that!
The fact that you’re debt free shows how financially responsible and discipline you are. I think you made the right decisions.
You are a love
I remember when you bought your car and you did the very best you could. It was a terrible time to be buying anything. I can't imagine anyone criticizing you on the things you needed to purchase. Obviously, they weren't needing to buy things at that time. My dishwasher went out in my apartment at the beginning of the pandemic. I waited a little over a year before my apartment complex could replace it. A friend in NM is having to replace her heating and A/C unit right now and I think she told me it was $14,000 and that wasn't even for a heat pump. In the southwest, refrigerated air is just something we need. In the TX panhandle we get down to negative wind chill temperatures so yes, heating is also a necessity. I don't know why these people think they can always do better.
Thank you love
I think you do great with the decisions you make. Do it your way, not anybody else's way.
Hey Dawn! Thank you for the extra videos.🩵 You are a sweet soul; and have so much patience to answer all the personal questions.🦋 Most of us don't care what car you drive or why you do certain things.💐 Those are your choices. Anybody rude enough to ask, doesn't deserve an answer! 😲 Thank you for being YOU - you go, girl!! 👑
🩵🦋🩵🦋🩵🦋🩵
OMG some people have nothing better to do than complain. You're a better person than me. I would have told them where to shove their comments and complaints.
You are unbelievably kind and patient with know it all's. I too bought a vehicle in 2022 and inventory was low.
You are so dear Dawn and I feel so blessed to visit you everyday!❤
We're blessed to have another Money Mom Vid tonight. Always great to hear from you Dawn❤✨🙏☀️
You are so sweet
I remember there was a shortage of used cars a few years ago.
Ugh there are always those who think they know or can do better. Dawn, you research and want to get the best deal, obviously, you did your best at the time in those circumstances.
I agree...sometimes you just have to do what you have to do because of circumstances.
Bonus! So interesting when you do these vids. Agree! There was a time when used cars were hard to find. Two years ago....yikes.
I agree with everyone. You don’t need to explain your actions. You do the best you can with what you have.
Thank you
Dawn, you are so sweet. You owe no one any explanations. There are so many factors involved when making major purchases and in my experience. nothing bad happens at a convenient time. We all have to deal with our own circumstances the best we can.
Thank you love
For some reason people seem to conveniently forget about the time factor. When something happens, you don't always have the time to solve it the way you normally would when you aren't in practically an emergency situation. They also forget about limited choices you have no control over. Had it been me that lost 5 major big ticket items within a couple of years, I'd have curled up in the corner in a ball.
My feeling is this: Even if I did find out you spent a lot or too much on something, I wouldn't question it. I already know you are a frugal person and also a practical one. So you'd just do what you had to do! Me too.
Ahh, thank you
I cant believe people actually wrote in and complained that your air conditioner was too loud. They must have acute hearing or perhaps their hearing aids are turned up too high? Such sensitive people. I used to watch a cooking show and somebody wrote a comment and complained to the host of the show that she used too much water when she washed her vegetables. Imagine that. People just invent things to complain about.
Having had to buy a new range/oven in 2021, I can empathize! It was a rough time to buy anything, that’s for sure.
Trying to buy a new or used vehicle here in BC Canada between /20 & /22 was virtually impossible. Car dealerships were offering top money for used cars, and no one was letting go of theirs. The new prices were so inflated, and even if you wanted one it would take months if not more. My girlfriend's stove went on the blink they ordered a new one (gas), and it took her 7 months!!. That was in /21, and they ended up using their barbeque and small appliances to fill in the gap. We also bought a new furnace and central air in /23.. prices had gone up, and we paid $16 K Canadian. Thankfully, we were prepared and able to pay cash. I'm really enjoying your video's...love that they are short but full of great wisdom. Thanks for sharing.. 💓
You are so sweet
In your part of the country, an a/c is a must. Pulls the water out of the air first before the unit starts to cool. Hence, the word 'conditioner" for the air. It also helps prevent any mold-mildew issues. Cross venting with portable fans while sitting or sleeping helped me quite a bit while keeping costs down. And am considering the most expensive options of installing double rod curtains. But still not sure how much extreme weather savings. Lots of other smaller insulation gadgets and energy savings one can do. Have been a frequent apartment mover in my lifetime. Apartments can be limited. Am investing in mostly portable items,. My Refletix came with me. Very helpful in my last place. But my floorplan and different climate an hours drive away, I do not have the same use for the project in the last place. Am thinking one or two creative projects. Each place, floorplan and climate is different.
I totally understand the car issue. We, too, purchased a used vehicle in 2022. My husband happened to drive by the Toyota dealership and saw a Highlander that just came on the lot that day, so we jumped on it. It wasn’t a deal, either, but has been reliable and we’re happy with it. 👍
Yes, things always seem to happen at the worst time.
You're very kind Dawn, but no explanation was needed. Even if you did things exactly like they'd like, they would still question your choices.
We are all doing the best we can. God bless you and your family.
The same thing happened to me. I needed to buy a washing machine and they were all sold out. Had to wait a long time to get it. The virus made it so difficult to find large appliances during that time. It was such a drama and a headache at the time. So glad all that is over now. I think people forget how it was. At the time China was in a complete lockdown and everything was made in china back then. The world has only begun diversifying the supply chains away from China. I think it’s amazing how quickly people forget how hard it was to find so many products. How empty the grocery stores were. It was a wild time.
I remember the 2022 supply issues. The new to you car you bought woke me up to increase our car replacement total in our emergency fund back then!
lol Too true! I was told last year that there would be no more repairs available for my 1998 HVAC system. I had it replaced (in its entirtly) last week because I know in my heart that it would have failed on July 3rd. It was costly, but my research shows that by doing this in relatively cool April here on the Gulf Coast (I'm in Houston) I saved myself 2 - 4 weeks with no air waiting for a unit on backorder and about $3000.00. My dishwasher has to be replaced, and has been out since January. I did the research and know that the new models come out in June, so May (memorial day sale weekend) is the time to buy. My plan is to visit Home Depot the last 2 weeks of the month and get an nice inexpensive floor model at a discount. I am so grateful that I have choices. Love you MoneyMom
I have never heard ANY A/C noise Dawn!!🙋♀️🥰💕‼️
Dawn! You’re amazing! You didn’t have to do this.
Love you, Dawn! ❤️ Sometimes you just have to say, "Nunya beeswax." 🤣
She is correct Toyotas where not available. Nothing wrong with a Ford Fusion,. They are very nice.
Blessings ❤❤
Hi Dawn, We were in the same situation as you with buying a car. Right after the pandemic my car got totaled also by a large SUV that rear ended it. It was a new car only six months old. So once again I had to shop for a car. There were no new cars & few used cars available. We paid way too much for the only new car we could get & had to put a down payment on it before it even arrived. You are so right about things happening at the wrong time to be able to bargain.
Thanks for sharing!!
There are always people who want to tell you how to do things "better". No one walks in your shoes, so you don't need to worry about their opinions.
I love how patient you are. 🤗🥰
He he
Thank you Dawn! ❤❤No need to explain. You are so wise in all your decisions and purchases. You are so right- not near as many options and choices as years back.
You are so welcome
I agree with all those that supported your choices. Thank you for your gracious remarks. ♥
You are so welcome
You don't have to explain. We appreciate you and your wisdom. Thanks for insight and inspiration
I appreciate that
You don't owe anybody explanations, your choices are fine
Several years ago my gas dryer (which was 45 years old) finally bit the dust. Tried to get a new gas dryer, kept being put on back order several months of waiting. I had an electrician put in the connection for an electric dryer, had the new one a couple days later.
I hope you like it
😮
Good grief. We're all doing the best we can. My 25 year old stove finally went when we were in lockdown during covid. I had to wait over 5 weeks to get a new one. People have short, selective memories. You do you, Dawn.😊
Love you
We had to buy a washer and a dishwasher during this time too. We had to take what we could get! You don't owe anyone an explanation.
Thank you
The Pandemic years put everyone into uncharted territory. You did a great job & made wise decisions during that time
Thank you much
Most cars are good these days, I wouldn't worry about what people say. They already forgot what it was like if you needed to make a big-ticket a couple of years ago.
You are so gracious to explain your choices.. You do not owe anyone explanations about you do. I hope that people who question your decisions will learn some things and will think more before they judge.
Yep your right, we bought our car in 2021. Same thing, there were no cars in stock. We literally got the one and only new car there. It had 6 miles on it.
You are amazing...you should not have to explain yourself..this is the land of the free...do as you wish...I am so glad I found your channel and please know how much I have benefited from your tips and wisdom....have a super day!
Thank you so much!
My mother-in-law's Ford Fusion just now died, 6 year's after her funeral. It was very reliable for over 200,000 miles. And would still be running if the new owner's daughter didn't smack into a tree. I am currently driving a 1997 Ford truck. My family has bought Fords since the 1920s.
Wonderful
I wish we lived closer. My hubby could have helped you in so many ways. He can do everything, even if it meant driving or cobbling it together. I am typing this with mouse keyboard one letter at a time.Yesterday I tripped and fell flat on my face . Outside a grocery store the concrete was not even .It was about half an inch difference, and my running shoe caught it. The fall split my lip, cracked a tooth, and both wrists are sore from trying to catch myself, everything was paining, Dry sunny day, trying to do someone a favour.
I said all this to say things are sometimes are out of our control. LIFE HAPPENS
I could adopt you two
You're the best. Im sorry that you felt you had to do this. Life is life and sometimes, it just sucks and the timming is the worst. Ive been thete. You just do the best you can w/what youve got at that time.
Murphy's law always wins unfortunately! 👀
I know
You are so kind
You are too kind to explain all of this. You don’t need to. People will keep expecting you to explain yourself on everything if you keep feeding the monster. Those that watch your channel all the time, do so because we are all doing the best we can. We draw inspiration and education, you don’t need to justify your choices and circumstances.
Hi Dawn! Personally, I don't think that you should have to explain your choices and/or actions. People seem to somehow become a naysayer regardless of what is said...I run into this a lot too with comments I make...and refuse to have to explain myself to them. What has happened to the old saying "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." We should go back to that, the world would be a much happier place. Just sayin'😊
saddens me that you have to justify your purchases to a small part of your audience. You are honest and do an amazing job of living within your means,
There’s nothing wrong with a Ford Fusion. They’re decent cars, especially the later models.
My used car will sell for $36K. It’s leased for a specific reason. I won’t buy it out, Toyota! I don’t feel like I’m part of “the family”. I chose the car, I’m on the lease, I will decide what happens next. They are calling my husband and have ignored my request for a pick up truck, which I would pay cash for, nope, not one call. Toyota will lose a new car purchase and a used truck purchase. I don’t take well to being ignored in business. They will learn, locally, it will bite them. Oh well, I’ll think of that as much as they think of me!
The Busy Bodies need to wake up to the fact that we all make different choices and nobody needs explain why they decided to get a Ford vs a Toyota. Unless they want to sponsor your car....then they should be allowed to decide for you.
I love your videos! I don’t even notice any sounds coming from the air conditioner. I think people just like to complain 😅
I didn't know it was the air conditioner. But ya it would be easier to hear you with it not whistling.
We love our Ford Fusion! It's a 2016 and we got it in 2019, with 50K miles on it. We've got about 100K miles on it now...live in Montana and travel long distances for everything...and have had no issues. Well, one time the power steering went out and it took a bit to figure out that a rabbit had chewed through the wires. It was quite an ordeal because my husband, who is our mechanic and overall mr. fixit for everything, was trucking over the road then. When he was home he'd fiddle with it, try something, then have to head back out on the road. One day I happened upon a video where the guy had figured out it was rabbits that caused his power steering issue. My husband checked and sure enough!
I love Montana
Why not try heavy blackout curtains over where you need a door for the filter? That might work
🌻
We had to replace a 18month car as it was totaled, we ended up with two new cars as i could not get a used car outside of Washington dc.
I understand
It's nobody's business what car, appliance, or anything else you buy. When you needed a car was the WORST time so I don't blame you for getting what was available. People need to mind their own business.
Toyota’s break down too! Mine ended up being a money pit! My Ford is going strong!
Record where you are. It’s free UA-cam, we can endure whistling 😂
We’re looking at trucks. The new ones cost less than last year’s. (The specific model we want.) What the heck?!!
I know
I love you so you owe no one an explanation. You always do the best you can.
I appreciate that!
I understand Dawn. I wouldn't judge u for yr life. Matthew 7:1 says it all.😊😊😊
You’ll be glad you bought that American made car if you ever need repairs … I had both a Toyota and a ford… I prefer the ford
Thank you. The air is cleared.
Excellent!
Have you asked the company to come back and listen to your system to see if there is a problem? Systems aren't supposed to sound like that. I've been in thousands of houses as part of my job, and never noticed any whistling from an air conditioning unit. At any rate, I would ask them to come and see if anything can be done. You may need a different kind of filter on it because it could be sucking too hard through a too-dense filter or loose filter. I had to change my filter that is in the ceiling when I first built this house, because the standard filters rattled. So now I custom order my filters through a filter company in the next city over. Do this: pull the filter out while it's running and see if that makes a difference. If it does, it's an easy fix.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom Ever the one to try to figure stuff out, I looked up and found an article: "Reasons Why An Air Conditioner Is Making A Whistling Noise" by HVAC Boss. It lists reasons you can have a noisy system, and some of it is easy to fix yourself. Just thought I'd pass it along.
You’re too nice, delete and block these horrid people!
They were being polite
Anyone that says you paid too much for your heating system has not had to pay for one recently. We replaced our 25 year old system March of 2023 and got sticker shock. We did get 3 estimates and the prices we all about the same. We went with the middle of the line system and signed up with their yearly maintenance plan. When you have a maintenance plan with a company they will service their existing customers before a new customer. Thanks for all you do.
I feel cars and appliances are personal choices - why does anyone else need to down you for making that choice unles
Seams like you did pretty good for what you had access to. I’m sure most of the people in the comments including me aren’t familiar with the pricing of goods and services in the Dallas area so who are they to say anything?
P.S. I wouldn’t worry about the emblem on your car, Toyota is definitely known for its longevity but keeping up with maintenance is probably more important. I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu and it just rolled over 200k miles!!!! I have not seen comments about your car myself but, it’s one thing to pick on and banter if it’s invited but if people are genuinely making fun of you because of your car that’s just shallow and rude. And I do know for a fact that just because a car has a certain emblem that doesn’t mean that company made it. When Chevy had the Spark, that car was completely manufactured by Nissan, but it got chevy branding and was sold at Chevy dealers. I don’t know much about Ford but it’s possible you might not have a Ford at all, so you can throw that at the rude commenters HaHa.
My car was 3K and I didnt get a loan from the bank i bank at...weird...but i got one in a diffrent bank. Almost paid for.
Groovy
Why did you feel you had to explain yourself? People can be just plain rude on the internet. Don't waste precious time trying to make them understand.
They were not rude, but they didn't know the entire story
Just started watching your videos a few months ago and love your comment. You are alot nicer than i am, this video concerning what you spend your money would have been much shorter if it was me, it would have said "its none of your business"....some people just get on my nerves when i read comments. Also, I wish i had your maytag washer that lasted 25 yrs, im on my 2nd one in 4 yrs, this one being a warranty replaced and its on its way out...I will never buy another Maytag.
Welcome aboard!
The prices for used cars here in Western Australia have only just started to drop 🤷♀️ my 21 & 20 year olds don’t have cars yet, they were finishing up high school when Covid hit. How quickly people forget!
Oh yes
The sounds are not bad. Does not bother me.
You have to do what you have to do
When we went buy a Honda hybrid they had no accord to show us we Baught one that was being made and delivered! There were no used cars or new to buy in 2022
We had this issue in 2021 with gas logs. 2 choices, neither that great.
Only 1 place had them at that time.
Then finding someone to install them was a problem.
Dawn tell them to mind their own business
I'm not sure why anyone cares what kind of car others drive. Normally people buy something they like no matter the make. Nothing wrong with Ford, Toyota, whatever floats your boat! When someone else starts paying my bills I guess then they can tell me what I should purchase. 😊
do what you want xoxoxoxo
