We are on a journey to learn to live healthy on a budget. We are intuitive eaters. Since Joel is a marathoner, he is eating a lot of calories every day. Since I have had health issues, I try to eat very healthily. With these two things colliding, it could get really expensive. Be sure to follow us on our journey as we share our health, fitness, and debt-free journeys. We will be sharing tips, tricks, and strategies as we learn how to how to eat healthily and to balance our budget and health.
We will be posting videos every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Every Monday we will share our grocery haul. On Wednesday, we will share the Recipe of the Week video. Be sure to vote for the Recipe of the Week by watching and commenting on our grocery haul videos. On Friday, we will share videos about health, budgeting, debt freedom, fitness, running tips, and goal update videos.

The best line of the whole video "it's not what you make....it's what you do with what you make"!!!!!
Thank you. I feel like we have heard that saying somewhere before, but I’m not sure where. It’s a great quote. 🙌
Glad you guys got to where you wanted to be! Working hard pays off 😊
Thank you. Yeah, it does. 🙌
That is wonderful. It is so good that you all are debt free
Thank you, Dawn. I couldn't agree more. It is such a relief to be debt free. 💞
This is so motivating!!! “Its not about what you make, its about what you do with what you make!” I love that quote!
Awww, thank you. I love it, too. I feel like I have heard someone else say that, but I can't remember who. 💝
Thank you for sharing this so encouraging! I remember watching your video you did about the job loss & how y’all was able to survive. I’m a firm believer to do what ever you have to do no excuses. I haven’t set any goals for 2022 I’m just going to take it one day at a time & live.
Thank you so much. Oh yeah, that video was so long ago that I just assume that no one has seen it. lol. Absolutely. You guys have set yourselves up so well that I think that that is awesome goal. 💝
We are working hard on living with 95k less than 4 years ago. It's hard but we have learned that we "DO NOT NEED" as much as we used to think.
Learning what you don't need is key. 🙌
It is so true that sometimes you have to really evaluate what is really important, and get rid of the things you don't need.
Thank you. I couldn't agree more. 👍
This goes to show that when money is handled properly amazing things can happen. Hard work as well as smart work really makes a difference. It is my utmost hope ( and prayer) that your channel's important messages get out there and the fruit of those videos efforts shows up in increased revenue. You guys deserve it! ❤
Awww, thank you so much. You are too kind. We appreciate you so much and the messages that you share on your channel, too. 💞😍
@@TheLongRunwithJoelandChristy thank you!! ❤

Thank you. That's wonderful. Awww, thanks. Oh yeah, I have had some disappear, too. Blessings to you and your family. 💞
Great advice! We struggled on one income. I've learned how to budget and use what we have and it's been so much better. It's a learning curve but so worth it.
Thank you. Absolutely. You get a better idea of what and how to budget every money, but it gets easier every month. And so so so worth it. 🙌
Amen to that...it isn't about what you make, its about what you do with what you make
Thank you. I feel like I have heard you say something like that in your videos, too. I figured that you would like it. 😉💞
It’s great to hear you guys are in a place where you can be happy and secure with one income. Joel made a good point that it’s not necessarily what you make but how you use that money . You have to be in control of what you save, spend or how use your money. For me I have to be so disciplined with any extra money because I feel saving is more important then going out to eat or spending money on some new kitchen gadget. But that’s a lot easier said then done lol I think I will make some financial goals for 2022 because that’s a good idea!
Thank you. We are getting there. We are still working on saving more money for our emergency fund and a nice down payment for a house, but we are definitely in a better place than we were back 8 years ago. You are so right. Absolutely. Yeah, new kitchen gadgets for a person who loves to cook is a hard one to pass it. lol. Oh yeah, we love to make financial goals. It keeps us grounded. 💞
Love hearing your journey! So much is possible for many with just a little personal finance knowledge. Keep spreading the message! 👍😊
Thank you so much. It really is. 👍
Thanks for the transparency and encouragement.
Thank you 🤗🥰
I just don't celebrate any holidays and I save a thousand dollars ❤🇨🇦
Awww, I see.
thank you so much for sharing these great tips
Thank you. I'm glad that you liked them.
I am glad you are in a better financial situation now. Thank you for the encouragement. I feel so discouraged trying to get out of debt.
Thank you. We appreciate that. I know that it’s hard. Just keep pressing forward and give yourself a little grace. You will get there. 💕💕💕
Good tips and video. Take care friends. :)
Thank you, guys. 🤗💞
Hi Joel and Christy, your channel is inspiring, so glad I found you, thank you for the encouragement. Lotsnof love from South Africa. ⚘
Awww, thank you. That is so sweet. I'm so glad that you found us. We love having you as part of our community. 🤗💝
This is an excellent video!! Loved how you explained that despite adverse consequences outside of your control - you took ownership and responsibility for your own choices and lifestyle. Great talk and you are excellent examples of what is possible with a focused and disciplined financial plan. - Rick
Thank you. I’m glad that you think so. 👍
I lovvvvvvvvveeee this video you two. It's definitely how you manage your cash that's coming in. Great things will always happen if cash is managed properly.
Thank you. Well said. 🥰
Thank you for being so transparent and sharing your journey. It is sooooo inspiring. There’s so much that has changed for me on this road to debt freedom. I don’t even recognize the old spendy Ro 🤣
Awww, thank you. I hear ya. You are so right. You hardly sound like spendy Ro, especially when you say that you just didn't want to spend any money. 😱😍
A great financial experience worth sharing.
Thank you. I’m glad that you think so. It is our hope to encourage people who are struggling that there is hope. 💕
Wow! So inspiring! 😀
Thank you! 💞
I love the chanel
Thank you so much. I'm so glad to hear that. 😍
Great sharing and ideas from you. More power to you lovely couple. Warmest greetings from Denmark🇩🇰☘️.
Thank you, my friend. 💕💕💕
Pa minimum wage is still $7.25...I can't even believe it.
I love your story. It's very inspiring. Thanks for sharing 👍
I feel like VA might still be the same now. Don't quote me on that. Down here, they just voted last year that it has to be $15 by 2026 and they set a schedule for increasing it to reach that number by then. It's $10/hour right now. Awww, thank you. Thanks for watching. 😍
Question: do you have a house payment?
Great inspiration story on watching our finances.
Thank you! Pat in Colorado

Thank you so much, Pat.
No, we don't. We have been renting ever since we sold our house. Hopefully, one day, we will get a house again. But right now, we would need a large amount of money to put down to make the mortgage payment lower than we pay for rent right now. 😍
Hey! Congrats on busting through 1K, if I didn't say so already!!
Hey, Maplecook! Thank you so much! 😍
