Ooh my 16th birthday was also my friend’s 18th birthday. We and our mutual friends went to a skating rink and had a blast! She had a surprise party waiting for her at home. And the next day my parents had one for me. 😂
Your daughter seems like she is building very good savings habits! I’m impressed! For my 16th birthday, my mom took me to the movies and bought me a new pair of shoes. I don’t remember what movie we saw, but I remember loving that birthday 🎉
5:16 I had ~15 friends over from my various areas of my life so they could finally meet, and we ate snacks/appetizers, listened to music, pretended to play volleyball in the backyard for a bit, and just chilled. I was in my favorite pair of jeans, and I was barely the center of attention, and I LOVED it! I just opened my CD ladder! Very excited! And very excited that you went up another percent on your goals - one bite at a time!
Happy New Year! Joel was trying to talk her into spending more, but she bought some games & said she was all set. She laughed & said he's just trying to avoid matching more for car savings😂
We were spoiled with rates for awhile there! Great job, Kristine. Hope you're doing okay! I can't remember which part of California you're in, but I thought of you with recent wildfires.
Sweet 16 really isn’t a thing in Sweden but I did buy some balloons and flowers for my daughter because she felt it was an important birthday (and she has of course been influenced by social media). We also went out to eat and threw her a party.
@catharinabra Ooh, interesting. Is 16 the mininum age for a driver's license in Sweden? I think that's where a lot of the excitement around sweet 16 comes from. Aww, I bet your daughter felt the warmth of your love with the extra special attention & celebration.
@ no, that’s 18 but you can start driving with an instructor or a certified adult (usually the parents). That’s sweet of you to say, she was really pleased with her birthday celebrations 😊
Ooh, nice! I love tracking goals this way! I'd love to follow along with your progress. Keep me updated! Thanks for your support & thanks for watching.
My almost 16 grandaughter first asked to go to the Maldives and have a house over the water … her parents said “ no that’s not happening” so now it looks like she is going to Disneyland at the end of the school term .. her birthday is next week ! 😮how is that possible ! She has traveled around the world twice so very worldly .. I am glad her folks said no … 😂
So glad your back to weekly ! Selfish cause I enjoy you but also I know how important it is to focus a weekly or more eye on spending and your money ! Me too ! 😂glenda

A skating rink party sounds so fun & probably even more so to share it with a friend.
Love a good surprise party!!

What a beautiful memory! I used to love going to the movies with my mom.
Aw seeing your kitty was so cute 🥰
I’m always impressed by how many income sources you have. You have the diversification thing down!
Her name is Rainbow, but we usually call her Ray Ray. She's cuddly & sweet. Thanks, Katie!

Love the chill hangout vibes. Sounds like it was a great way to celebrate!
Yay, excited to follow along on your CD ladder progress.
Thanks for sharing Jessie…so inspiring for me!🌸🌺💖
Thank you, Paula! I appreciate you being here. Thanks for your kind words!!
Don't know if I've said it,so happy new year!! Amazing that your daughter saved that much from her Christmas money.

Hey Jessie! I rolled over my January CD and added $100 to it. ☺️ Kinda bummed that the rates went down but at least it’s locked in for 12 months. 😅
We were spoiled with rates for awhile there! Great job, Kristine.
Hope you're doing okay! I can't remember which part of California you're in, but I thought of you with recent wildfires.
Yay Jessie. Let’s do this in 2025
Yeahh! Love the new year energy!
❤❤❤
Thanks for being here!

@catharinabra I didn't know that! I love hearing about cultural differences. Joel didn't get his license until 18.
@ I got mine when I was 20 because I moved out at 16 and had to get the money for it. Today I would say I drivers license cost around $2000
@catharinabra oh, wow! That's a monetary commitment!
Happy new year Jessie. Great video!
Thanks so much for your ongoing support, Robert! Happy New Year!!
😊😊
Thank you for being here!
I purchased the sheet. I love the way you track this and with most my debt gone and building my savings and CD ladders, love this idea

I want to go to the Maldives
@ her parents said “ that’s for adults we get to go first “ I think that’s the first time they have ever said no !
Bahaha, bougie tastes! I want to go to the Maldives, too! I don't blame her for trying🤣
So glad your back to weekly ! Selfish cause I enjoy you but also I know how important it is to focus a weekly or more eye on spending and your money ! Me too ! 😂glenda
Weekly check-ins keep me on track!! Thanks for being here, Glenda!
Only income is pension and the whole thing went to credit cards. It is a tiny pension
Great job covering the credit card expenses!
I honestly think I was grounded over my 16th birthday!!
Bahaha, oh no! I definitely had my fair share of being grounded, too.
