    I don’t comment much on videos, but I thought it is important to comment on this ! I appreciate everything you do for the village! I started watching your videos in December. I watch you daily and try and catch your lives! I appreciate all your hard work and time you put in! I enjoy the freebies and purchase challenges/ books from you. I was happy to join your membership and help support you and your channel! Keep your head up because your village loves you !! ❤️😊

    OMG Donna I am so sorry to hear this. Of all the people on UA-cam you are the most selfless person. I have been hooked on you since I started watching you over a two years ago. You asked me when we met at Disney why I sent you that scratcher tool, and honestly at the time I didn't have a reason- just that I was moved/lead too- With that being said I have thought long and hard about that question since meeting you. My response is that YOU helped me in ways that I really didn't realize at the time and still don't at times- YOU are open to share and help at any time when needed. YOU inspire so many including myself to help others and have touched anyone that has had the pleasure of knowing you. YOU ARE REAL!!! That is why I sent that tool. You had a need/want and I was able to give back to you. I am blessed to call you my friend and mentor. Thank you for being you Mrs. Donna!

    Donna,I agree with you 100%. You put your heart and soul into everything you do for your UA-cam channel. It ain't easy at times,but you triumph over every adversity that's thrown at you. I am so proud of you for standing up for yourself. Your Villagers(especially me)will continue to support you,no matter what. Trolls can just go troll somewhere else,cause "it takes a Village" to get you through this ordeal,and have your back.❤❤❤❤

    Thank you for the clarification. I will continue to support by watching ads when I am able to and wish you the best as being offered membership levels in addition to subscribers from UA-cam can be a good thing for content creators. I will do more once I am able too. Gates can be a good thing and sometimes need to be explained to be understood. You have done great things and definitely need to do what works best for you! My apologies if I upset you or others as I was simply wanting to make sure I was understanding everything in the right way. Some parts I was and others I didn’t. The clarification helped me in understanding. Thank you for everything you do!

    I cannot catch many of the lives, it is very rare, AND my financial situation has changed (for the worse, which is why I have not had many videos). BUT I am joining the first tier, because although I can barely catch a live (It is always during my family time- once a week- and we are off social, since it is our only time we can all get together), even catching a live here and there, or even part of a live, each live gives so much, they give support, education, creativity, etc., and are impactful to me and I am sure, to our community. YES my budget is tighter than I could have ever imagined. BUT I know where the wiggle room is, it is in me cutting down on a monster, maybe get a small coffee instead of a medium or large. If there is a will to be a part of the village movement, then there is a way. We just have to find the way. .99 a month, $11.88 a year, is something that I feel is worth sacrificing one of my drinks. And listen, I believe most of us here are doing the HOP. Take $1 from Self Care a month, because I for one DO believe that these lives are part of Self Care, because they are giving us knowledge we need and want. And if you are not doing the HOP, take it from $1 a day, once a month. Donna has consistently supported this village, it is time we support Donna. #itsDonnasturn

      I feel so sad that we live in a world where content creators have to explain themselves to this depth. This is ridiculous. It’s more than fair for the time and effort that you put in daily for content that has helped many of us in more ways than you will probably ever even know Donna. And for those that can’t afford it…you just don’t get the live. (It will be a miss for some) but hey…maybe we could work on a freebie that Donna graciously provided and save for the next month! 😊use the tools we ware given from the daily videos! ❤

    I appreciate everything everyone in this community does, especially creators like you. I recently started watching budgeting videos again, more US based creators this time and everyone I watch now seems to have your challenges/freebies. So naturally I had to check out your channel and subscribe to you! Which I know hasn't been all that long but I do want to say thank you for putting all that time and effort into creating all the freebies that you have created, as well as all of your videos. I hope going forward I'll have more time to go back and watch some of your earlier videos as well as some of your more recent ones (though with all my new subscriptions it can be difficult deciding who I dedicate my watch time to) 💜

    Unfortunately, I can't pay to see your Sunday's lives, as I have a low income and the 4 rabbits that need to be fed. My pets always come first. I will miss your lives because I've learned a lot even when I've just been a lurker. 💖 I will support you by watching your ads, even when you don't get a lot from the ads I will still watch them until I have a better income. You are giving us free videos every day (AND we are also learning things from the videos) and you only have time for 1 live, so I understand that your members are getting them. I can't wait to become a member one day when I have a bigger income.

My heart is breaking as I sit here and listen to one of the most caring, generous, loving human beings on the planet defend herself against hateful, mean, ugly, disgusting comments. I absolutely believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion, however, to give an opinion with the sole intent to hurt someone is just so wrong on every level....and to do it time and time again should be criminal.

    Several of us are members of other creator’s channels for extra or additional content. I’m currently considering what value I could offer when I’m eligible to have memberships so I understand the work that goes into content creation. A membership to get access to an interactive Live that has been open to all until now knocked the slats out from under me. I have become a member to a channel usually at the lowest levels to have access to extra content not content that I had been able to access already. No, $.99 isn’t a fortune and you are definitely not going to be getting rich off that and if I could afford it, I’d subscribe to a higher level. But now even this will be unavailable to me and those on a tighter budget than I. I hope you can see it from that perspective.

Keep your head up and know that even though some of us can’t be members yet doesn’t mean we won’t be in the future. It’s part of my savings goals, and sinking funds!

    I some how missed that video so I'll have to go back and watch it. I'll be happy to become a member. I said that a long time ago. I don't always get into the lives but I when I do it's a blast and so educational. You've given us so much free education. I think you're the least greedy person I know. You came here to help us. If you think Donna is greedy you need to go. Our sister is a builder and a teacher and support for all of us. Donna we love you!!!

    Hi Donna! It's your channel and you can do whatever you want with it. People will either join or not. Something you said kind of hit me wrong. You said we sit on the other side of the screen and take and take. You started your channel. We didn't make you and nobody told you to make freebies. If it wasn't for us sitting on the other side of the screen watching you, you wouldn't have a channel. I am sorry someone got nasty with you regarding your memberships. I in no way are being nasty. I hope this doesn't come across that way. Thanks for listening.

    Ve had some unexpected events, recently. My fixed income is taking a beat down. I will need to step back make needed adjustments and see where I am. Then maybe join, but for a while I will miss the lives.
    I have really appreciated the Village Hop and did manage to stay up with it, until recently. The Hop has given me a way to set goals, find a teaching tool for my family to understand why " financial safety nets" are important. I hope to be back to the Sunday Lives at some point.
    Until then, thank you for the Village Hop. Next year's Hop sounds just as exciting, I hope yo be able to be a part of it.

    There's a quote I've always loved::: The only time you'll be criticized is when you're doing more than the person criticizing you.
    Basically, they see you as a threat or they're jealous.

    Hi Donna. I listened to this on my way home from the pool this morning and I couldn't wait to get home to join. For one thing, no way am I not going to be there on Sunday nights!😊 But, also you do so much for this Village of ours that I can't understand how anyone could question your motives. I am a member of four other channels that I joined because I enjoy their content. I have never questioned their motives or thought they were being greedy. Joining a channel as a member is your own free will. Nobody is making you do it. Sorry for the little rant. I just don't know how anyone could call YOU selfish, of all people. Thank you Donna for all you do my friend. I'm proud and happy to be a member of your channel.

    I am.sorry for you having to put this video out. Other channels offer memberships. I think it's worth the money. I havd learned so much. I am a 52 year old single mom who have benefited from your amazing channel and your knowledge. People spend money daily on coffee or other vices. You don't owe anyone any explanations. You are loved, valued and a blessing to all the lives that you touch. ❤❤❤🎉

I don’t watch the lives cause my little one won’t let me on my phone long enough 😂 but I love what you bring to UA-cam the inspiration and fun you bring. I get so excited when you post and the days you don’t I notice it. Don’t let the trolls get you down. They are miserable with their own lives. I just wanted to tell you thank you for including me in your village and you posting matters to so any of us❤

    I wish I could afford a membership as of right now I'm still trying to get my emergency fund and monthly and weekly expenses under control ❤ hopefully sometimes down the road I can.
    You are the reason I do daily savings ✨️

    I have been watching your videos for a while now and usually don't comment much. I watched your video yesterday and thought it was worth investing money in your channel because I find you to be knowledgeable and motivational. You have given so much of your time and energy to others. I can only hope that I am as kind and giving as you.

    Donna you are such a wonderful kind caring person. I cannot believe that anyone could call you any of that. When I heard about the memberships I understood why. If they don't then that's on them. If you ever need someone to talk to even if it is just to vent, I am here for you.

  • @CraftAndBudgetWithAnh

    Good morning Donna. I am still here listening. I am so sorry this is even an issue. You are not the only UA-camr with memberships. I did see that your lives are members only comments. That didn't bother me. I was still able to watch and follow along. I can't always make it to lives so I watch the reply. Weren't we all taught, "Don't say anything if you can't say anything, nice"? Sorry you had to even make this video. ❤❤❤

    Donna, i think you are one of the best in the community, and not because you give us freebies, or advice, etc. But because you are a confident and powerful women.
    A membership is an awesome accomplish, and you should be so proud of everything you have accomplished.
    We all dont have to agree with one another, we can all do thing differently. But what we do on our own channels is our own.
    I wish i could be a little more like you, you are creative, genuine, generous, caring, supportive, you stand up for yourself, the community and what you believe in. I have a horrible backbone and wish i had one like yours.
    Thank you for inspiring and helping so many of us through our financial journies.
    We support and love you always and those people who are just buttheads can leave. ❤

Currently helping may parents since my Dad can't work right now, recovering from a stroke. But I love and appreciate everything you have done for the budgeting community. If it hadn't been for you and others, I would not have had the funds to be able to help my folks. I am very appreciative. You keep doing YOU!!! ❤

    Speechless to believe some would be so cruel to say stuff like that. I looked at the options and for me spending on a membership was less than spending on a streaming service i use maybe once a month. Your content has helped us purchase a vehicle just by telling us your story of your purchase . Any negativity is just senseless. Keep up the good work and thank you for all you do.

  • @theeclecticmemah

    I can't believe people would call you greedy! I have NEVER thought that any YT Content Creator was greedy! I'm sorry that the person you were talking about names! You go girl!!!!!!!!!!! NO ONE is forced to become a member! You are SO generous! I sometimes think that if I download more than a few freebies I am being greedy! Thank you for all you do! Great response and sorry that you had to make one! One final thought - by having to join in order to watch the lives is most definitely NOT gatekeeping! Especially since you share a majority of things that are discussed in the live. i.e. the HOP - I DID NOT find out about it (and join it) by watching a live!
