First 🎉 who else feels like when they watch Ella’s videos they’ve saved money?😅❤

ngl, I used to think when people made lists of wake up/brush your teeth/make your bed/etc, it's so silly and funny, but when you're in the bowels of depression and can't be bothered to even take a shower (tmi but it gets that bad sometimes 😢), lists of basic things to do are the holy grail.🥺
Great reset video Ella ❤ Happy August! Hope this month is nothing short of prosperity and full of fun for you and Nick! ILY 😘🤍

Hi Ella, a resubscriber to your channel. I used to watch your beauty videos but I fell out of my obsession with makeup and stopped consuming that content. Your budgeting video came into my suggestions and I'm so happy it did. I've been binging your reset videos and I'm feeling super excited about my finances for the second half of the year.

I love the transparency and it's interesting seeing that it's okay to spend money because I feel like I have a scarcity mindset. But in saying that, travel and my dog I have no issues spending money on.

Ps sorry for the essay

I can’t believe it’s August but I’m so glad we are back again with another reset video ❤

Me currently budgeting whilst watching you budget 🙏🤍

That mortgage tool is mindblowing! So motivating to pay it off quicker

[MeganEmma]

Would LOVE a day-in-the-life video! Give us the ins and outs of content creator life! E.g., when do you you upload everything in your budget spreadsheet? and other little things like that. :)

LOVE these so much!!! I'd love to hear more behind the reasoning to pay off the mortgage faster vs. invest more each month? I'm not a home owner, so I don't know much about owning a home, but am super interested in how you all chose that route vs. aggressive investing?!

For the first time in a long time, I have a set roster which means set money which means easier budgeting 😭 I have been feeling really down about money and budgeting over the past few months and have really neglected my spreadsheet, which has caused me feel really out of control and anxious. This was the reminder I needed to not over complicate it and get back into it (have got my spreadsheet and diary open so I am ready to go!). Thank you for continuing to share this part of your life with us ❣

Hi, first time watcher.
We have been in so much debt for most of our marriage and now we are in a financial position to tackle it. Now to get rid of this $65, 000 of CC debt! Day by day.

It is so hard going through loss. I’ve lost 10. 😮 I know right. 2 were in the second trimester also. Turns out we have a fertility issue and have now combatted that since I have a 7month old. But the grief and change in yourself as a human is legit insane. My whole life has changed, for the better really but it’s been extremely difficult. Sending you so much love and light. Thanks for your vids! Alyssa xx

Perfect timing! Just doing my monthly budget now! X

[bakingbudgets]

I absolutely love watching your monthly resets while I do mine!! ❤

[hanskii]

yesss i look forward to these all month, you look so good ❤❤❤

[lovejoydreams]

"nobody cares about my dogs hair" - very incorrect, if anything I wish there were photo's on screen to show how cute the longer hair is

[quartierkrambylorana]

Ahhh I found you again. I watched a few of your videos months ago and then you disappeared in my youtube, so I clicked extra fast when this recommendation came up 😅 and yes I subscribed right away ❤

[LitaVakauta]

Hi love you videos so motivational for me being a mother . Keep these reset videos coming helps a lot. Also where did you get your planner from ?
Xx

[elizabeththompson]

I’m so happy you’re feeling so good in life! Congrats on a great month financially!! What social media platform is most lucrative for you? Also, can you do a vlog on how much you personally spend on brand trips? Like do you get a per diem/ room service allowance? Are there any out of pocket expenses? Just curious if you’re even allowed to share that info! X

Such an awesome video! After watching it i was so inspired that i sat down and thought about my goals for august ❤

[AshleyJade]

That 'extra mortgage repayment' tool looks like it would be encouraging.... My goal for August - Get my life back on track - in every way!... I broke my foot in mid May and i've had plaster and then a moon boot for a total of 11 weeks AND THEN this morning (at 8:00 😴) i had an appointment at the hospital to see how my recovery is going no more moon boot 🥳 (which is scary, for now) BUT all good news from the hospital (no surgery needed - that was a high possibility) ... sooo yes, August will be a month of regaining strength and muscle. 😊
