@ I normally do different fasting throughout the year. Social media fasting, fasting from things I typically consume or most importantly when I just need to to hear something from God. The tip I can give is when you are wanting to do the things you are fasting from dig deeper into prayer and your word, it truly helps.

1. Face my financial demons head on and destroy the pattern of debt. 2. Avoid over committing myself financially especially when it comes to extended family expenses…simply put…to learn to say no and stay focused on my own personal financial goals…and not attaching any guilt for saying no. 3. Grow a wealth mentality. Seek wisdom from God on managing finances and creating generational wealth. 4. Learn to splurge on myself a little more😅😊

This SAVE plan reduces your monthly loan payment but extends the life of the loan so you will pay even more in the end 😳…. I am hoping Biden comes through for you 🫣.

Absolutely, it took me some years but I can finally comprehend how establishing good habits in various areas of your life makes it so much easier. It is not always easy to get started but it is definitely worth it. The tricky part is finding habits that serve you and doing them in a way that serves you. Some of us forego good habits that serve us because we didn't find the best way to implement them into our current life situation. Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment!

Every little bit more than the minimum payments counts toward student loan payments. I've been saving up my student loans in a high yield savings account just waiting for my first payment to kick in. I took this route because the way inflation has been, it really got me worried about job loss. I am following the Dave Ramsey approach, but also taking advantage of the pause to save up for at least three months of emergency. By October I hope to hit both goals of paying off loans and having an emergency fund in place.
