Happy Day, Everyone! Thank you for dropping by and visiting.

I have been budgeting since I was 19. I learned to budget from my Grandfather who used cash envelopes his entire life. In 2025, I will also be adding in goal planning and health updates in addition to budgeting and saving on my channel this year.

My husband was laid off half way through the year last year and we have been living on our savings. He was recently approved to drive for Uber and we are using those funds to stay in our house for as long as possible. If you are interested in following along on our mid life adventure & financial journey this year, please join us. We would love to have you along!

I still love happy mail but will not be renewing a PO Box until I know where we are moving to. If you want to send me something, please email me and I will give an address to send it to me.
Thank you, for understanding.

Happy Savings!
Elaine

Here is my new January 2025 schedule. Including all new videos, a new time for my Wednesday live, and an all new live series on Saturdays! I am excited about the changes and hope you will be too!

Thank you, everyone for all of your support last year. I almost made my goal of monetized by December 31st. I still need about 300 hours to hit it, but I am, over the moon with how close I got to hitting my goal given how sick I was the last qtr of the year.

A HUGE thank you to all of you who continued to play my playlists and come to my livestreams on most of the Wednesday's there at the end. And the creators who kept shouting me out for their playlist weekends! ‪@norelisbudgets‬ and ‪@lilzworld733‬ If I missed anyone please let me know so I can add them here.

And another HUGE thank you to the wonderful creators in my 1k collab who kept using my challenges and shouting me out when I was out. I appreciate all of you and am very grateful! If you aren't following any of these amazing ladies, please go check them out. You won't be sorry. ‪@budgetwithtiffany26‬ ‪@bookishmammabudgets‬ ‪@BeccaBudgets777‬ and of course our honorary member ‪@BudgetYourLife‬

I hope to see you all in my lives and comments very soon! I have missed you all.

No live tonight, everyone. Sorry, this sinus/ear infection thing is giving me horrible migraines. On antibiotics round 2. Hopefully next week I will finally be better. Much love to all!
