My husband was married previously. He worked 12 or more hours per day to provide for his wife and two daughters. She spent everything. Fast forward. He and I have been married 21 years. He calls me his Proverbs woman miracle. I'm very frugal. I think more needs to be said about how wives can show their husbands how much they honor and love them by preserving their hard earned money. I've been a Dave Ramsey, Larry Burkett woman my whole life. Both of my children are debt free, hardworking adults. My husband and I are so blessed.

After we spent years paying off a $65K credit card bill, because we didn't want to say no to our kids, we now only pay cash for things. I adopted a 1 week rule, I'd go back after a week and see if I still had to have that item. 27 years later, we still have the first item I applied that rule to, our beautiful kitchen island. Lately, when I'm shopping, I hear Hope's voice saying if it's a great deal, that's what we're eating that week lol. We found some crazy good deals today and that's what we're eating this week! At first I was skeptical, now I'm living it. Thank you both!!!

I don’t think I will become a frugal person at this point in my life (though I have always lived within our means) but I have been enjoying your videos. I just like watching you guys. On this video I watched the bloopers and laughed when Larry said, “why don’t you watch Prepper Princess.” I have actually watched a few of her videos, and all I can say is, I like your happy attitude much better.

A frugal person much of my life, I did get into some online jewelry auctions where the bidding frenzy was real and it got expensive and often disappointing when it shipped. Yikes! No more. eBay was another money trap, aside from a few great buys. Life is a journey of learning and it's important to find something to be grateful for each day.

Hope and Larry, the issue of money destroys so many marriages when both parties aren't on the same page towards a goal-based future. I admire how you approach the future together as a loving team. ❤

Amen, Hope! I recently had a 70 pound weight loss ( thanks Covid 🤬)and went from an 28 to an 8! Even though not a healthy weight loss, I definitely had the 70 pound excess! That size 8 air of jeans 👖 felt so great!

I keep re-watching y'all and Kate Kaden. I have redone some numbers and will be consumer debt free in about 4 years 🙂 So excited and so glad to have my hubby on board with this!

Good morning on a windy day here in Ireland ☘️. Thank you for your sensible and practical tips. I love your videos, definitely workable. Love your bonus tip, fantastic idea. Best of all it cheers me up no end watching you both, so cheery and good humored ☘️🌹

I deleted my social media,
Online shopping apps
Rebate apps
Email
I toss flyers, catalog, etc. don't even look at it.

When something breaks I tend not to replace it. If I can't fix it I see if I can live without it. I can usually find something else that I already have that will work just as well.

[susanthielen]

You two are great and I watch you all the time. I love the list idea for grocery shopping. I have a list and I love it. I cant be without it because it keeps me focused and I buy exactly what I need and no more.

[sal]

Lol, I was contemplating the same $50 bundle. I was very tempted, especially since several bloggers I follow were promoting it. I finally decided that I would rather spend the 50 on a case lot sale at the grocery store. Thank you for another great video.

Thank you for saying to “keep it real & not fool yourself”!! It’s harder to put expenses in front of your budget instead of in line with your budget. Learning slowly 😁 no more feeling “crummy” 😂

[FatraBbits]

Oh you two crack me up! Love the blooper! Good solid “no brainer’ advice. Scrabble and cribbage. Thank you!

[annettelarsen]

I revise my shopping cart at the store before I go to the check out register and ask myself if the chosen items are really aligned with my financial and health standard and it does happen that I return things that got picked out of temptation.. also going through my things at home ( private window shopping :-) has helped me appreciate what I already have, realize that I really do not need anymore and if anything needs to be renewed or actually is missing, then it goes on my list to keep an eye out for the right thing... Thank you for all your inspiration, love it

[jonnaborosky]

I'm in a no spend rest of my life, unless something is absolutely mandatory.
Ions ago, my driving instructor told me the same thing: your car will go where you're looking.

[melindawharton]

May I just tell you two, I went to 1auction, I got caught up in a bidding war! But it reached my most money I could spend, so I excused myself and went out side to cool off! My only auction ever. Love to you both!

[timgaretson]

I love the fact that you work together. Unfortunately I am in a situation where I am frugal and my wife is anything but frugal! It's so frustrating. Any suggestions?

[KristynLorraine]

We already pay for the local library through tax dollars, yet I know many, many people who have never set foot in their library. We borrow books, magazines, dvds, music cds, (including loads of educational materials for homeschooling), and I learned to knit there, too. Our library also loans out wi-fi routers for two week periods. It's often a wasted resource.
