Christmas?
Frugal Fit Mon, "There was no going out"
no movies, no restaurants, no eating out, no concerts, no movies…
I can relate. that's how I grew up.
and to the person who criticized you for not focusing on being a single parents with children. blank stare and heavy sigh
Why would anyone expect you to talk about a life you are not living?
I swear some people just live to direct fraudulent criticism and complaints .
The internet is vast, it's not difficult to find someone who's living that life.
As a diabetic who's also had 2 kidney transplants the Google ( 😂 ) has literally saved me. I love your shopping tips and recipes. I just replace the carbs with whatever I can have.
Omg, I have been at the same job for the past decade and never have I ever been able to get more than $2k back in taxes. What job did you guys do?!
When we were military stationed in europe one of the first thing the " old timers" told us was you can buy stuff or see stuff but on our limited income you cant afford both. So each military family decided which was most important to them. It was the only way to enjoy that 3 yrs away from home.
I love you so much!!! You are just awesome!!! And I believe your personality does shine through. And in being a mom your interactions with your kids I do see it and it also shines in them and makes them awesome too!!!!
I do not have any children however I take what I can apply to my own situation! I love you!
You are killing me with this one. My oldest is 14 and I want to suck up every minute of the next 4 years
While not all of your suggestions apply to me, I truly value the time and effort you put into these videos, and how you aim to offer advice for everyone, whether it's people who are currently struggling financially, or people who just want to be more aware of their spending habits.
I am from Australia 🇦🇺. It is expensive for food here. I'm a single mum with now teen and adult children, when they were younger I found budgeting for food easier. Until I found your website and videos. I have learned to budget groceries and make awesome meals from you and your content. Teens are eating till full and I'm not stressed about what to cook anymore. Thanks 🎉
Do you go out to eat now?
When you had one income, did you also have government assistance? That is a major factor that needs to be needs considered.
Also, I don’t know when you lived on $8000 a year, but it sounds like it’s a figure that needs update updated with the rate of inflation.
I raised our family of five (including myself) on about $23,000/year. I am my own mechanic, plumber, electrician, lawyer, doctor, etc. I have no debt but I also have no money. I don’t get sick days or any other benefits as I am a 1099 “employee”.
Im 56 now with no $ for retirement other than social security. Will have to work till I’m 70 before I can start collecting it to have enough to meet basic needs…if I live that long.
Thank you for sharing the bit at the end about hanging in there during the young years. So many of us need to hear that ❤
Im glad you did this. Thanks
Mom of very young kids, single income family also and I’ve watched and learned from your channel for years. You are a second mom to me at this point. These tips are for me at this stage of life. ❤
Wow, you and I are in the same boat. My oldest graduated last year, and my daughter this year. We still have a 9 and 12-year-old boys. Thank you for the positive spin at the end. I've been feeling so depressed that my two oldest children are adults. I call them the "OG's", as they made me "mom." Both are very successful, have bright futures, and I have excellent relationships with them, too.I should be celebrating and counting my blessings instead of sulking in my own depression. Thank you for the positive outlook on this season of life.
Great video, this is so helpful thank you so much for this!
Frugal Fit FINE Mom, great advice!
I think it’s uncalled for such a comment about how you’re not “relevant” to a single mom lifestyle because you now have older children. Sure you don’t buy diapers but you buy deodorant and kids grow so fast that you almost can’t keep up ! And your tips are awesome for someone like me – with adult sons- I also shop for my 78 year old mother and am as frugal as I can be. And this “negative commentator “ needs to see your bigger picture
Anything can happen
Anything can change
Your kids have jobs and contribute – great !!!!
Then they don’t – wow got laid off and move back home
Or You have a home and then you lose it due to the interest rates skyrocketing and the economy is collapsing
The big short
And then you get The Call that your mother / dad or in laws can’t afford a home care facility but they can’t stay in their home / apartment
They don’t have funds to go to a home and they can’t take care of themselves and hire a PSW / nurse
Now they live with you
Things change
You either adapt and change with it or it changes you
Recession depression mid recession mid depression
It’s all the same 4 seasons
And you have to plan ahead
We always know winter comes as does a hot dry summer
Our children grow up and out and our parents lose their mobility and self sufficiency
Baby Diapers isn’t the benchmark of poverty or frugal fit mom not being relatable
That doesn’t make sense
She is a beacon to the world
And diapers are a beautiful thing
You have babies
And you’re blessed
Babies don’t need much other than clean clothes / diaper / to be fed and played with and socialize –
A bag of Lego and a cardboard box and a sheet was a wonderful Friday night with a movie and home made pizza. My sons don’t really remember the food
They remember the board games / Lego / card board box forts and the sleeping in the living room and the walks to the ice rink and sledding at the hill and the summer parks.
Cheap and cheerful. And I have wanted to do more but couldn’t. And today even though I can
They don’t want it
They want time well spent
And I know in my heart they will pay it forward
And that is what frugal fit mom does
She has her moments of frugal
Keeps it still
Has a few quality things
And keeps teaching us at the various stages of life
– Christine – let me know if you know this – life has 7 stages
That is why what you teach and cite and take videos of all the stuff you do
Which I love and also the $$$ budget ones a lot !
You and your family Add value for ALL people of all stages of their lives.
You’re awesome and don’t let the people who don’t see the “bigger picture and bigger future” get you down. Keep your momentum ! I wish you lived in Canada
You’re a planner and don’t stop planning and keep showing us how to do the same. 😊 god bless you and your family
Well …. I have adult children …. One moved out and working . One home but just graduated college…. Just fyi…. My husband and I feel that you and your family are so relatable to us. I think it’s unfair for that person to criticize you for not being relatable to her stage of life . There are plenty of young mom YouTubers . I love watching you.
