To be honest I wasn’t sure I would like a video like this but I enjoyed it. There is always something we can learn from other people in the budgeting world I’m always looking for better ways to work my budget and get our debt paid off asap. Thanks for all you do for the budgeting community.

[@2SisterBees]

I’m so glad you liked the video! I find these kind very interesting and fun to do! 💛

[@Lifewithkrystal66]

I need something like this single mom on a very low income!

[@2SisterBees]

Send me your story! I have instructions in the description. 💛

[@Karen-nc7do]

Great video!! I found some things I was doing right and some that need a little tweaking. Thank you.

[@2SisterBees]

Awesome! That’s the goal- to help the person who sent it in and someone else ! 💛

[@jeannielanaux7297]

❤❤❤❤Excellent video​@@2SisterBees

[@kavondadean5804]

Hey Jen!! I have fallen off my budget in the last 3 months. But this video has encouraged me to get back on track. I am so excited to hear more stories from the 2 Sisters Bee 🐝 community. I am here for it!! ❤❤ 🐝

[@JeanandKenny]

This is great, but I have a quick question, she is reimbursing her partner $250 for electric, insurance etc. Is Abby being reimbursed for 1/2 of the groceries? That would cut the $600 to $300 giving her a lot more money. I'm confused because in her letter, she stated that he is covering those things so why is she reimbursing anything? It could be used for debt or for retirement. Just curious - no judgement, I've made every single mistake in the book.

[@2SisterBees]

Actually she says in her email- she is responsible for groceries. That’s the 600. The 250 is a contribution towards other bills. I assume they are taking their incomes and splitting bills fairly between themselves. And yes, couples have so many different situations and it is solely their choice on how they do their finances. Sometimes we do something for so long that we don’t look at the other possibilities. My chat at the end was for her to consider alternatives. 💛

[@JeanandKenny]

@@2SisterBees Ah, thank you for the clarification! I re-read that part, now I get what she was saying.

[@juliacorley468]

Great video Jenn! Newly subscribed. Your videos are amazing and your passion for sharing and helping others is a gift.

[@2SisterBees]

Hello and welcome! 💛 I truly do enjoy helping others - thank you for your kind comment. 🤩

[@libbysworld7649]

JEN!!! You are so good at this! Keep these coming. LOVE it "Abby" has all of the tools she needs to get stated on her new journey.

[@2SisterBees]

Thank you, Libby! 💛 I think having a plan and seeing that if she can stick to no extra spending- she can pay that debt off in time! 🤩

[@jedijessic]

Could you do one for two (or more) people with each having an income. Would be interested in Abby's partners income, expenses and goals. Keeping finances separate could be for several reasons. Abby's spending habits is one (debt). Inheritance, business, and children from a previous relationship are others. I live with a parent and that has different needs.

[@2SisterBees]

More situations are coming! My inbox is dinging with different Financial Snapshots from all kinds of people! 🤩 Stay tuned!

[@conniekelly-hl5qr]

Hello Jenn, I have become a cash spender.Thank you this is a great help.

You are so welcome! 💛

[@aprilbudgets]

I loved this video so much I will be submitting my information I take your advice very seriously and recently got a promotion and now it’s time to attack the debt once and for all ❤❤

[@2SisterBees]

Congratulations on your promotion! That’s so awesome! 🍾🤩 I love hearing you say you want to tackle that debt with the extra $! That’s setting you and your babies up for success! 💛🙌

[@marylynmiller5158]

Jenn...you did an amazing job leading Abby to a better financial picture...let's hope she sticks to it...she has so much to live for with her little girl! Wish I'd had info like this about 40 years ago!

[@2SisterBees]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 💛 I think Abby will stick to it. She in a great situation just needed a little guidance, I think. 🤩

[@maypasifiki9360]

Love this content. Thank you "Abby" for sending in your story. And thank you Jen for breaking down the debt payments etc. Its so motivating to see. Before you broke down the debt payments, I was already doing the exercise on how to tackle it as if it were my own. 😅 Its such a wonderful exercise, that I'm sure will help me in my own expenses.

[@2SisterBees]

Yes, it is absolutely like building up a muscle. If we keep doing it, we will get better at it. Finances is a learned process. No giving up- we can’t afford to ! Pun intended. 😂

[@makeanddohandmade]

So excited for your new venture Jen!! You are using your God given skill set for good and his glory!! Excited for more!!

[@abhlove17]

When you buy something at the store for your dog and you take it from his envelope do you add it back into your checking account or where the money came from debit card ect ????

[@angeljefferson2984]

Love the video and the realistic emotion and disgust from her about debt because so many people just believe that's how it is and live with no real plan in place. I am so glad you could give her one and I hope she makes these steps. Great work Jenn & Abby 🐝♥️🐝

[@2SisterBees]

Thank you, Angel! I hope it helps her, too! 💛

Where can I get a cute monthly calendar with a ToDo List on it like the one in this video?

Great video. I’m a single mother and very low income. Start saving

[@julieb6680]

Absolutely amazing video. I have a budget but I think I need to be a bit more specific. I’m all over the place😂😂❤❤

[@2SisterBees]

Yes- try using that packet I used in today’s video. It’s very eye opening to see your income and where you’ve been putting it- step by step. 💛

[@julieb6680]

I completed the forms. Figured out I need to work on a buffer because of the way my bills are due , I fall short after each pay period. Thank you so much. This was super helpful ❤

[@AnnCashes]

Wonderful video!!! Wish I had all these ideas many years ago.

Me, too! Live and learn. I have been through so much in my life and I truly feel like I have been led to help others 💛

I wish I had someone like you to help me with budgeting. I flubbed through and we made it, but it was very hard.

[@2SisterBees]

Me too. I flubbed through life. I made it but went through some unnecessary and very hard times. If I can help one person not make one mistake that can literally cost them YEARS of financial strife- I’m here for it! 🙌

Hey beautiful! 🤗 Watching now!

[@2SisterBees]

Sweet! Thanks, Lady Di 💛 Been a little nervous today with this one. 🫣 New stuff !

[@ladydisaves]

@@2SisterBees Jenn!!! You did absolutely amazing! This video is so good! You offer so much in this video! You offer more than a plan but you offer HOPE and not just hope for Abby but for everyone watching! You should be very proud! I’m proud of you! This was an amazing video! I was blown away at how you took all her information and basically did magic. I watched the first half while on my walk. Then FarmBoy and I walked together and listened to the second half. He really liked it too! He might comment after he watches the first part tomorrow. I love that you not only made a plan Abby can execute but you have given her a vision. At the beginning it just looked like a huge mountain that was too hard to climb or like a pit that would take forever to get out of. As you went through her income, all her expenses, her debt, and explained the plan for her it started to feel so simple and not so hard at all! The best part is it really won’t take her very long at all if she sticks to the plan!! I hope everyone who has debt sees this video and realizes there is hope for their finances and they CAN get out of debt too! You are such a valuable help because you have been there yourself and you have the answers and can open their eyes with a plan. It’s so hard to see when your under the burden of debt but you help them see it’s possible! They just need to stick to the plan. Plus you understand how they feel because of your experiences. I love that you’re doing this. I can see it will help so many people and bless you at the same time. Excellent work! Hugs! 💖🤗

WiFi only in Southern California is $90.00/month. 😮

[@2SisterBees]

I lived there - for years. I paid $60. I’d check around ! 💛 And I’m sorry that’s all you got from that video. I feel like there was so much more going on besides my suggestion to cut cable and using an approximate average bill. 🤷‍♀️

[@IreneAnderson-g2d]

Dear 2 sister BI need help. Help please. I get a disability check for twelve something. I have to pay 480 for rent. 105 cell phone and internet. 150 foot utility and a 100 for water. I have credit cards that I maxed out. And I'm trying to pay on . I used to work 3 jobs. I have a car note of 366 car insurance, one tinian. I do not know what to do. I am drowning. Please help me. I'm trying to do all the budgeting that I see. But I have 3 grown kids and they get paid every week, but they need something. Then I try to tell them they need to stop ordering doordash and buying toys 4, my grandbaby. My 2 daughters still live with me. And they get paid every week. My son comes over to bar. Money and he get paid every week. What am I doing wrong? Please forgive my writing. I'm just stressed out. I don't know what to do. My sister told me I could move to florida with her, but what are my? I don't want to do that. And I don't know why

[@2SisterBees]

Hello there- I’m sorry to hear all of this is happening to you. It sounds extremely stressful. If you would, please email me @ [e-mail]. Maybe one of your daughters can help you fill out the Financial Snapshot. I need that emailed with your story. I can’t help unless I know your income, bills and expenses. I will say - just from reading your comment that everyone around you needs to learn the word “NO”. You have to make sure that YOU are taken care of first. You can’t help anyone else if you aren’t ok. I hope you can get your info sent over to me. 💛 Instructions are in the description of this video that you just watched.

[@blessedbudgetsbyAbigail]

I am sorry you are dealing with this stress. Are you able to send Jenn an email? She has her contact on the community post here on KZbin. I think she has a form you need to fill out to be included. I wish you the best.
