How I Live Off Less Than $20k Raising A Large Family

How I afforded a family in medical school. Making wise, long-lasting purchases. Trusting in God to provide. Cutting costs and living simply. And much more!

I’m sorry you lived in an abusive relationship and am so glad you’re free from that now. I hope this channel and your other business endeavors are hugely successful!

One easy way you can help this family (even if you don't have very much money)...is by NOT skipping the ads. If her channel is monetized she makes a little off the ads when they play. Let them play every time you watch her videos...and you may find a product you are interested in.

You're not poor. You are so rich with a beautiful family. I'm praying God will bless you and your family.

Please let all of the ads on her channel run - fully run - the full length. It puts food on the table for her and the children!

What a blessing that her sister made her a crocheted horse there is more love in that present then money could ever buy from another present

I am a mom of 6, Grama of 5. Thank you for sharing basic common sense…which isn’t so common anymore!☺️

Your children have an abundance of wealth in the love you give them.

Please create an Amazon wishlist. So many people would feel truly blessed to be able to send you something you would like and picked out yourself. Maybe some essential items like batteries or something frivolous like new kitchen curtains.

My heart goes out to you. I come from a family of 16, and we really had to trust the Lord for so many things. I myself had 7 living children and homeschooled We also gave thrifted gifts at Xmas and on birthdays and didn’t eat out or go many places. That you are doing takes courage. Your children are WORTH it! God bless you!

I am happily married, but I so much appreciate your videos. Your frugality amazes me, because you all seem so full. Full of the holy Spirit, and it is such a blessing to watch. I thank God, for showing me your channel. I know this video is going to help me in some way, just like your others. God bless you and your family!

I love how you just spend so much time as a family. Thats what kids will remember. Not the stuff.

I raised 8 and we'd have old fashioned partys.Like walk with a clothespin between their knees and drop it in the bucket.Everyone take a balloon and pop it by sitting on it.Have a race with a plastic egg on a spoon
They said it was the best party ever! These days its pretty ridiculous how much is spent.❤

I would love to see you put a cookbook together ! Frugal Cooking! I would buy it! Being home with your children is so special! I have 2 and I was home with them. I wouldn’t trade that time for anything! You definitely will be rewarded from our Father for putting your family first! 🙏🏻

Marcie, your family is truly your legacy.

I was raised in a city but we didn't have heat on the second floor. You learned real quick to open the door to the upstairs to get it warmer up there. We also put on socks and a sweater if you were cold and in the summer you opened windows. I didn't realize we were poor. I thought everyone ate boiled cabbage and onions or chicken gizzards or go to the butchers to get free dog bones (we didn't have a dog) but the bones made a great soup with cabbage, onions and potatoes.

What a beautiful story about the money appearing for the van window.🥰

You are an amazing mama! I raised four kids on my own, and I did a lot of the frugal tips that you mentioned! My kids didn’t have fancy birthday parties either! I shopped at yard sales and thrift shops for clothes and gifts too! God always provides and knows our needs. We used to go to a food pantry where they shop for you and bring the cart to your car and pray with you at your car and they asked what we needed and I said, our gas was going to be shut off, and could we pray for that help. We prayed and when we were done, the man handed me a $100 bill. Then another time we belonged to a food bank program for working people and every time that I prayed for something we needed, it was there for us the next time we’d go! Another time, my car broke down, and I went to pick it up from the mechanic and the bill had been paid. Another time I went to pay the water bill and someone else had paid it. God is everywhere and continues to bless us. I know He is blessing you as well! You are keeping your beautiful family together with the help of our Lord! God Bless you beautiful family!

God truly provides. Continue, do not be anxious, just trust.

[kathrinekerns]

And I know my God is able to provide all of my needs according to His riches in glory. You are blessed and highly favored.
