I put up my first YouTube video and it sucked. I will not give up. Video 2 will be done today. Failure is not an option.

All my bills are automated like my health insurance, car insurance, Spotify, phone, internet, etc. I put it all on my credit card that gives me points back and once the transaction is posted I pull the money from my bills accounts and pay the card. I’m building my credit and building rewards for the future for travel/perks. The only thing I don’t automate is my savings. I LOVE transferring money to it manually 😅 I feel proud of myself when I transfer a large amount and use a fun tracker to track my progress

A few years ago I called myself dating and the same question had me flummoxed. A gentleman asked me what do I like to do for fun and I literally didn’t have an answer. I was like I like to paint my nails, and spend time with my daughter. He was like your hobbies, like what do you do in your spare time… I was like that was it. I took myself off the market after that. I realized that I needed to get to know myself before spending time with someone else.
Some ideas for low/ no cost activities with the kids. Sign up for emails of things that are happening in your city for free. Usually there are movies at the park/ beach. Free museums, night markets, cultural festivals, food truck festivals, carnivals, free concerts or have a cute picnic with your kids at the park . You can also go walking on trails, visit u pick farms or flower fields local sporting events on weekdays, movies are discounted on Tuesdays .

Yes to automation and systems managing the buckets! If you cannot automate everything, do what you can until you are able to. This helps you focus on others things that matter and comes in clutch when life be life’n.

Automation is so key in helping to stick to good money management and helping to mitigate the fatigue ❤

I'm just am reading this book call " Stop fixing yourself" and so far he is correct! The same thing we are attached to is the same thing that's taking are HAPPINESS! Attachments!!! This is confirmation that it's been programmed in our heads to think our money is our happiness. 😢

If your gas and electricity companies offer try their budget plan. It takes the average of your bills that you pay monthly. It can fluctuate up and down but normally it lasts for several months which really helps when budgeting

Good for you for taking a stand against financial fatigue 👏🏾! We can’t let finances boss us around. I’ve also found having a buffer and personal spending accounts (no matter how big or small) is key to not completely hate the process.

"Move your body" <3 I´m working on discipline too. Remember to reward yourself when doing something tough^^ I´m really into nature since COVID, nature won me over. Running, Rucking, and sleeping in nature is the best!

I refuse to go back down. Been saving up since I was told if you dont have 10k saved up your broke . Been grinding ever since

I would recommend contacting your former agent and the broker of the agency. If the seller did not disclose known problems, they are liable. I would also recommend contacting a real estate attorney. I’m a former agent.

Not the garage! 😫😂 wtf. The construction on houses these days is cheap af. We are getting ripped off

Nice work on the DIY oven fix! I had to deal with my dishwasher, found a manual online, and thank God it was OK. Still more to do, but like you said "no fires", thank God. Working on trusting myself to work my plan and budget - full automation is still a little scary. Multiple bank accounts didn't work for me, except to separate out my mortgage So glad you applied for the financial assistance.

Money fatigue is real...this summer the kiddos are stay home and doing the cheaper activities. Just had to replace the ac unit, don't regret the kiddos not going to summer camp.

[OurRetireEarlyJourney]

We automate our savings and investments to save time and ensure we only are able to live off the rest.

[EstelleCadiz]

Hi Dyana 🎉
Have you thought about VBS for the kiddos? Most churches do a theme and make it like a camp experience even if it’s for a week…
It could also be fun and free thing for them to do

[finurra]

please please share what song that is playing, I can't find it :(

[MoneyDiaries]

I love your humbleness!
We use our local library over the summer. They have an awesome children reading program. The children have fun events daily and a reading challenge that gives them a free book and coupons around town for free food. Definitely check it out in your area! We also use the local spray parks and try to find free or very affordable activities to make those memories all summer long and stay sane lol! I use my personal funds just like you do!
