Are you trying to pay off debt? We have hundreds of articles on our site to help you save money and get out of debt. www.livingonadime.com/tawras-debt-reduction-story/
You really inspire me to not have a "poverty mentality" with my frugal ways....you are so right people laugh and mock- then they want to know what you are doing to do so well and suddenly it's not so funny anymore :) keep up the fab work. Kerrie from UK
I love what you said about your parents being divorced but still being friends! How sweet. Also, thanks for all the wonderful tips and stories about your life - absolutely love it and a big fan of your videos (especially the ones with your mum in them!)
I raised my kids the same ways you have. They turned out great and as adults, they do not have a problem "going without" . They are adaptable and good at saving money or living cheap.I think I taught them survival skills for adult life.
We're very similar to you guys. My hubby and I got married without a nickel to our names. He was in university and I had just graduated. We spent less $1000 in total on our wedding (yes, I bought a brand new wedding dress, and bought hubby a suit. We made the food, a photographer friend did the photos, florist Granny did the flowers, and professional friends did the music). We were vegetarian by necessity, because meat was just too expensive. We had 'welfare tv' (rabbit ears), and did free activities for entertainment. We paid cash for university. We pay off credit cards every month and have never had debt. I've seen so many people say they had go into debt because their parents never helped them starting out. We started out with nothing - and managed to create a great life (including yearly visits to the UK, paid off our house, and have over $500,000 in RRSPs for retirement (neither of us have company pension plans)).It's definitely possible to do! (And yes, we have 3 kids)
Lost Control I think most people don’t benefit from getting help from family, unless it is someone sitting down and helping to sort out how to manage money. Parents nowadays think it’s the education systems job to teach money management to kids. If they are not seeing proper money management in the home, how will they grow up different? I worked at Walmart in college town, and you wouldn’t believe how many students would come in, buy their groceries and then ask for help to balance their bank books (this was before instant debit cards, so if you just had opened your account you couldn’t use money except in. He is, and we actually kept and turned in then he is to the bank). And these were not always international students that didn’t understand US banking, there were some American students that just weren’t understanding that if you spend $20 and don’t put it in the register you can’t reconcile and your bank book will be off.
I love your tiffany lamp! It's so gorgeous. What a great find. Sometimes I get distracted when I go to the grocery store and something I like is on sale (like orange juice)... I dont want to miss out on that price, even if I dont *really* need it.
Watching this in 2018. Thank you very much. It NEVER crossed my mind to bake a cake myself for my kids birthday. Will be doing just that. Thank you again.
Tawra+Mike=true love. That's so sweet, you started out on "or worse" and made a beautiful family. I appreciate you sharing the details of how you got through it. May everything coming up be "for better"!
I just found your channel and you've probably solved the issue already. When I repair a hose I put the hose end in HOT water, the hose slides onto the plastic repair part very easily. My hint for paying off a mortgage faster - two options... get an amortization schedule from the mortgage holder and pay the next months Principle each month. Be sure to tell the mortgage company that it is 'Principle only'. Or take the amount of a monthly payment, divide it by 12 and add that as 'Principle only' each month. It doesn't seem like much but that small amount of extra money is reducing the interest paid each month. Oh, one other option, people who get paid every other week - there are two months a year where there are 3 paychecks a month - take that extra paycheck and pay 1/2 of the mortgage payment to 'Principle only'.
Thank you for all you are doing. Thank you for the inspiration you are giving me to get out of debt. Thank you for the encouragement to buy used, to save on groceries, to learn how to do things, and to wait on purchasing items which I need (I am in need of a dining table and chairs and you encourage me to wait to purchase until I find what I want that is used. I can make due with what I have now.). I am so appreciative of you and of your generosity in sharing all that you do. You are so encouraging to me. What you share makes me feel that it is feasible to do what I need to get done in my home and yard. You give great ideas on how to do things. I know that God put you into my life for a purpose and you are an answer to prayer. Thank you so much. May God richly bless you for all you are doing. I do miss seeing Jill. I look forward to seeing her again.
Wow! Thanks so much. yes, we are working on getting mom. We have picture but no sound with her....could be a problem. We hope we can fix it this week but we've been saying that for 2 weeks. :-)
I am not sure if you found the answer to your question on the 90 degree connector, however, I just happened to see Justin Rhoads with Permaculture Chicken use a blow torch to heat his hose and connect it that way. Don't melt your hose, just heat it enough to soften it and the connector will slide right in! I love yall's channel! Thanks for all you do!
Enjoy your videos so much! And thank you so much for sharing all of your awesome tips! I purchased three of your books over the weekend and am enjoying them also.
I just cracked up when I saw the gliding rocking chair! I also found one on the street which I picked up with my mom. Every time I look at the chair reminds me of her. she passed away A little more than two years (I still miss her dearly) and she was always looking out to save me money and she also would pick up things that would be useful and I did not have to pay for. I was able to pay off my house in 11 years because of my very frugal lifestyle. I also go out thrifting and yard sales. I also cut coupons to save in grocery shopping. Many of these things I have learned from my mom and folks like you. I'm going to try the homemade detergent to save myself some money there and any other tips that you might have on your website. Thanks so much for sharing all the valuable information to all of those of us who want to save and have a free debt life.
I used free woodchips for years, and then inexplicably, the tree companies stopped giving it out. They must be getting some cash somewhere for dumping it off. So, I switched to pine needles which I collect from a neighbor's lawn, Starbucks coffee grounds, and shredded paper. I ended up adding creeping junipers to the front, so that I didn't need to mulch so much.
I have Fibromyalgia too and can not work so we have only 1 income. I also have 5 kids. I do live In Australia were the price of things are different but fundementally the same. We have so much to learn and I am thankful to have come across your channel and subbed :) THANK YOU so much guys!
Loved hearing the ins and outs of your testimony/story. I was on the frugal forums back in the day when you were starting out...remember the whole meals we'd all plan for just a few dollars? I still have many of those printouts...
I have to tell you that you guys are so adorable! I can tell you have an amazing relationship. The way you make each other giggle is so cute. You have inspired me to spend less, and only buy the things I NEED. We have too much stuff already. I'm glad I discovered your channel. Thanks for all the great tips. I'm going to go back and watch all your videos. -:)
You can do it two ways, one is to use a pot of boiling water. Stick the pipe in for about 10 seconds. Second way is easier but be careful that you don't overheat and melt the pipe. Use a cheap propayne torch.
I've discovered this channel only recently and am since soaking up all the information. I also got the cook book. I think this is my favourite of all the videos. It's so full of love and all these family anecdotes. It's encouraging and heartwarming. My husband and I both grew up poor but have very different memories of that time. He always says that sure, everyone on his street was poor and his family might have been a bit better off than others. He says he was wanting for nothing. While I was the only poor kid on the street and got bullied for it. I was always aware that we didn't have what others have and I grew very resentful against poverty and frugality. It's all in people's mind. I had more than my husband growing up but definitely felt poor. I'm slowly getting over it. The info here is helping.
try heating your tubing with a hair dryer and also put dish soap on the 90 degree plastic angle and work fast. You can also remove tubing by heating it up. When ever I need wheels or parts for my stove I go to the local dump. They let us scavenge from the dump, wheels come of old lawnmowers or gas bbq's. The enamel on my grates was chipping off due to using a pressure canner on the stove so I went to the dump go a set of 4 off an old stove and I use those grates when doing my canning. I live in a small town so it helps to be friends with the guy who runs the dump.
Yay just made my lunches for work for approx 7 dollars for the whole week! Looking forward to putting this into practice in more areas, it's kinda exciting!
Retail sales are every other wk. clothing wise literally like 50% off every other wk. or more, when I worked clothing retail we had 1 wk. also with 10-15% off above the 50% off for 60-65% off for employees. This being said thrift stores have so much stuff now that they sometimes say we don't want anymore clothes locally. Now jeans I have not bought at thrift store bc they were $15 kid jeans and $7 new walmart jordache, this being said thift jean brands were $150 new higher quality, but cost with kids they go through sizes so quickly, but if I could find t's for $3 I would buy. We have 5 thrift stores locally all offer something diff., and we have 2-3 colleges in town so you can always get free furniture
love watching your videos, I am a new subscriber I have fibromyalgia, cfs, anxiety, hypertension, osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis in both feet, L5/S1 deformity, So your videos are interesting and useful PLUS you talking about your health issues makes it nice so I know - you know how hard it is with meds and money . Thank you and keep up the good work
I forget that I have water boiling on the stove almost daily, it gets to the point that all the water has evaporated and then I hear sizzling or smell smoke. So dangerous, I need to invest in an electric tea kettle but, I am a nursing student with three littles and working on paying off debt with my husbands income so that will not happen anytime soon! $66,477 debt left to go!
I look for building materials for free too. I built a deck with bricks that someone was going to throw away. I am also self reliant. I build a lot of stuff myself.
You're both amazing with the tightwadding. I'm inspired to look over our budget that dh keeps secret to find ways to pay off the farm faster. On his own he managed to go from full to part time and support us with half my monthly pension thrown in. We have a prenuptial agreement and keep our money seperate at his insistence. However he burnt himself on that because I got a medium size settlement and only paid off 1 of his credit cards.

It's most likely not the right size fitting. www.irrigationtutorials.com/drip-system-basic-parts-valves-backflow-preventers-filters-tubing-emitters-and-more/ And somewhere else I was reading you can use a little bit of lubricant if it IS the right size but just being stubborn. Hope that is SOME help!
I have Dining on a Dime. I cooked Snickerdoodles for my husband the other day. He loved them. Our friend came over and he couldn't stop eating them. Then hubby's co-worker said, "My wife cooks these all the time and they aren't this good! I can't tell her that though." YOU do have the best recipes!! Thank you for helping me be the "hero" of the kitchen!
So what do you recommend when a "saver" has been married to a "spender" for 20 yrs? We've gotten out of debt, to pay it off and land back in it. Of course, this is all in raising 10 kids. Yes, my hubby now makes decent money, but no matter how much he's made, he goes and gets small loans. He has money for work, drinks, gas, etc. That's a budget allocated to him. But then he'd say he needed money to cover a deficit he made. I tried to say heeds to not buy things not for work with us budget, I'll take that out of the main acct, but to no avail. His budget *is* generous, but we really can't afford it now...I say that my husband is almost, he only has one flaw. I've gotten him to agree on cloth paper everything. Except TP, he won't do family cloth. We are choosing to build off grid, only propane as our only utility. That will help. But every time we have freed up money, he's buying things. Fortunately, he only buys food. But he buys very expensive processed things in bulk. SMH.
I have learned to do everything myself. I built all of my own raised beds, and have built raised off the ground boxes and I would like to try the upside down baskets (I have a friend that uses 10 of them and she gets a great yield of tomatoes in them). What is the ratio of wood chips do you use?
Thanks so much for sharing your inspiring and insightful testimony and story. I love seeing couples and families working together. The testimony you all shared removes all excuses because people do exactly what they want to do. I am so glad I found your channel and love your recipes...:-)
Hey !! I stumbled upon your videos long back but thought they just sit and speak so did not continue watching (sorry! Im dyslexic and understand stuff visually more and attention span is lowest with two little girls) And you know you speak about debt and how Being Christian it's not the right thing - I come from south east Asia and living life within your means was just a way of life .. no one spoke about it no one sat us down and explained but it was more than clear just the way we were raised that if we cannot afford it now we cannot have it. And even credit cards and paying EMI for stuff is a fairly new concept to our families. I live in U.K. Now of course but we have never done credit card. And except for the house we don't do anything which will put us in debt. But life is such that inspite of all this we sometimes struggle to make ends meet. I cannot imagine paying those interest rates. It's just madness
So basically you two paid 4,000 a year for 5 years. You lived on 18,000.00 a year, not too bad, but you had kids to provide for, had you bought all new, you could not have done it.
All our trips were to family and all free-as a kid I thought yuck-as an adult I think I have great kid stories lots of funny story's and build characters, and it gave me a chance to as an adult save and go on trip. My favorite trip is really just home. My favorite thing is zero debt., and cash in the bank. I will say we don't use God enough. I do ask and rec., so don't forgot to ask God bc he does not know if you do not ask. What does bible say ask not rec. not something like that-so ask God what you want and watch him produce miracles-remember in his time frame not yours. You have to be more creative thrifting. I know all the clothes you guys wear all look brand new!!!

Hey you, I am german woman and i look all your videos. The nice thing about your frugal living is also the environment
Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do with out :)
C-Light Candles & Soap I love this 😂😂
Yep! This is my wee motto nowadays 😁
I raised my kids the same ways you have. They turned out great and as adults, they do not have a problem "going without" . They are adaptable and good at saving money or living cheap.I think I taught them survival skills for adult life.
I love how you give God the glory for his provision. Thank you!

Mimi Ahilleh wow really? Growing up my mom always did that
Two people as smart and sharp as you two made only $22,000 a year? I don't get it.
22,000 a year is only 10 dollars an hour. I agree.
Tawra+Mike=true love. That's so sweet, you started out on "or worse" and made a beautiful family. I appreciate you sharing the details of how you got through it. May everything coming up be "for better"!

loved the tightwad gazette!! great video....thanks for sharing! I agree finacial freedom does begin in the kitchen
I was a maternity nurse for 30 years I know exactly what you are talking about!

Place in hot water for a few minutes to soften, stretch then fit and would fit better when cold. If needs a tighter fit, tighten with cable ties.

Love electric tea kettles. We use ours a few times a day...very quick and easy.
54:13 I do that too. It helps but there’s still stuff I want 😂
I love the clocks on the wall. I love clocks like that!
$22.000 after or before tax? thank u
You can do it two ways, one is to use a pot of boiling water. Stick the pipe in for about 10 seconds. Second way is easier but be careful that you don't overheat and melt the pipe. Use a cheap propayne torch.

try heating your tubing with a hair dryer and also put dish soap on the 90 degree plastic angle and work fast. You can also remove tubing by heating it up. When ever I need wheels or parts for my stove I go to the local dump. They let us scavenge from the dump, wheels come of old lawnmowers or gas bbq's.

I live in a small town so it helps to be friends with the guy who runs the dump.
I totally got the name Not Just Beans. Owned the book for a ling time.

Yay just made my lunches for work for approx 7 dollars for the whole week! Looking forward to putting this into practice in more areas, it's kinda exciting!

Haley Lopez how much does an electric kettle cost in the US? I bought mine new for about 12$ in Japan
I look for building materials for free too. I built a deck with bricks that someone was going to throw away. I am also self reliant. I build a lot of stuff myself.
You're both amazing with the tightwadding. I'm inspired to look over our budget that dh keeps secret to find ways to pay off the farm faster.

Hello, hope yall are having a great day love your sites.
I love rewatching all your videos :)
If you scroll all the way down to the section on Drip tube fittings....it talks about them. It's most likely not the right size fitting. www.irrigationtutorials.com/drip-system-basic-parts-valves-backflow-preventers-filters-tubing-emitters-and-more/ And somewhere else I was reading you can use a little bit of lubricant if it IS the right size but just being stubborn.

You guys are so much fun to watch !!! I need an electric tea kettle what a great idea !!!
just found your channel now so cool
beautiful testimony
Tried to order your books but if doesn't look like you ship to Canada?
They don't.
+Cady Strange Thanks for letting me know. :)
No I'm sorry. But Canada has a law that prevents us from doing so.
Too bad. :( Thank you for letting me know.
I have learned to do everything myself. I built all of my own raised beds, and have built raised off the ground boxes and I would like to try the upside down baskets (I have a friend that uses 10 of them and she gets a great yield of tomatoes in them). What is the ratio of wood chips do you use?
I try to put at least 3 inches on top.
great work
hello love your videos
I loved this chat time
Thanks so much for sharing your inspiring and insightful testimony and story. I love seeing couples and families working together. The testimony you all shared removes all excuses because people do exactly what they want to do. I am so glad I found your channel and love your recipes...:-)

Does magnesium work....or has it?
It does somewhat for me but it's just only about 5% worth of help.
Hey !! I stumbled upon your videos long back but thought they just sit and speak so did not continue watching (sorry! Im dyslexic and understand stuff visually more and attention span is lowest with two little girls)
And you know you speak about debt and how Being Christian it's not the right thing - I come from south east Asia and living life within your means was just a way of life .. no one spoke about it no one sat us down and explained but it was more than clear just the way we were raised that if we cannot afford it now we cannot have it. And even credit cards and paying EMI for stuff is a fairly new concept to our families. I live in U.K. Now of course but we have never done credit card. And except for the house we don't do anything which will put us in debt. But life is such that inspite of all this we sometimes struggle to make ends meet. I cannot imagine paying those interest rates. It's just madness
thumbs up :)
So basically you two paid 4,000 a year for 5 years. You lived on 18,000.00 a year, not too bad, but you had kids to provide for, had you bought all new, you could not have done it.
hello all
All our trips were to family and all free-as a kid I thought yuck-as an adult I think I have great kid stories lots of funny story's and build characters, and it gave me a chance to as an adult save and go on trip. My favorite trip is really just home. My favorite thing is zero debt., and cash in the bank. I will say we don't use God enough. I do ask and rec., so don't forgot to ask God bc he does not know if you do not ask. What does bible say ask not rec. not something like that-so ask God what you want and watch him produce miracles-remember in his time frame not yours. You have to be more creative thrifting. I know all the clothes you guys wear all look brand new!!!
Thanks be to God for the nuns!
I really enjoy watching your videos x
