Sonia Schnauzer Mom So happy for you 👏👏👏👍

[@JustJulia82]

Whooo hoo! Congratulations!!

[@joanmilano5302]

Woohoo!! Good job!

[@maureencairney9549]

Your excitement is infectious it even brought my Husband through from the next room to find out whats going on. Congrats again and again and again... My January was awesome, new debt free date 17th February..

[@heathermayfield4247]

Maureen Cairney I am waiting with a bottle of fizz for your debt free day Maureen!

[@maureencairney9549]

Thanks Heather not long now..

[@TheChooken83]

Maureen Cairney ditto my hubby actually finally listened, he's been so hard to convince about getting debt free but when he heard the video and how much she paid he got excited at our debt free journey yay

[@maureencairney9549]

Feels so good to have them on board.

[@jessicaashley8907]

My husband came to watch as well! And Feb 17th is his bday, so I'll have to remember to come check on you that day, haha. So exciting!

[@sararhoades5643]

How awesome! Happy birthday! Our January was amazing. We finalized our son's adoption, paid cash for final homestudy, paid off two small debts, paid cash for my car repairs, and we got our $1000 emergency fund saved. oh, our attorney actually ended up owing us money. Not much but it will go to our debt snowball.

[@swissmissyogini]

Congrats BG! And you didn't even do a no spend! What a phenomenal month! Keep going!

[@rezmaticks6448]

Lol I love when the dog pops up.

[@7931lila]

Yay! Plus I could see the details on your spreadsheet! Great month! My fave line in the video? "Rory's excited too! ...or she has to go outside, I'm not sure."

[@HolisticHealthatHome]

That's a HUGE number to throw at your debt--congrats!!

[@katherinemurphy7078]

I've been watching the entire ads on your videos to try to help you make more you tube money. I'm so proud of you Sarah!!!!

[@bbstubblesOG]

You're getting so close! You will be done earlier this year than you thought :) So exciting!

[@cylis9]

I can't even imagine being under 10k. Heck, right this minute I'm having trouble picturing being under 100k. Many congrats and thanks for the motivation. :)

[@MeredithMJacob]

Congratulations on getting under $10,000! That is wonderful. What an inspiration you are!

[@rosebud7105]

Whoo-hoo!!!!!!! I teared up a little at the amount you were able to put this past month towards your debt! Proud to learn from the best budgeting YTber! (seriously!) Keep on truckin'!

[@ResourcefulMama]

So excited for you, Sarah!

[@tracylynne246]

Congrats Sarah. I also had a great January for debt payment. My ex has finally given child support after not paying a dime for over a year and I have my son full time. And since I've had to get a second job to make sure bills got paid all that child support went to debt. I'm also under 10k and was able to pay off almost $1500 this month due to a bonus from work

[@SimpleWifeSimpleLife]

How wonderful is this! So excited to see your number drop so drastically. Due to No Spend January for us, we were able to pay off $1800 so I know how exciting that is!

[@jazziered142]

That is awesome about the KZbin payout!! Wow. You go girl..... Nice way to start the new year!

[@amber4design]

YAY!!! I am SO happy for you, girl! How exciting. I predict that you'll be debt free by October. That last month, when you only have a titillating $1,000 or so in debt and you JUST. WANT. TO. PAY. IT. OFF...is when I got frustrated, but watching your videos helped me stay the course (and to calm myself down lol).

[@stacinininger8779]

So happy for you!!! It's right around the corner!!!!! Your persistence is paying off!

[@CynPope1]

WoooHooo...You scorched it. Don't forget to file your mileage.

[@twelvesmylimit]

Well done Sarah! All great stuff (and Rory is as adorable as ever). :)

[@hoooooolley]

Congratulations on being under 10k and happy birthday for yesterday! 🎉🎉

[@LiveLoveBudget]

Congrats and Happy Birthday!

[@truneilson]

Congrats on being in the 4 digits!!! Also I love that you carry a reusable bag. My new years resolution is to use less one time use items, I've found if I carry 3 bags I almost never need another. It's amazing what a diffrence that tiny change can make.

[@latinaartista36]

So proud of you. Glad you had such a good month and were able to treat yourself a bit in the process.

[@anniannifi]

I am so glad!! You will be debt free in no time!

[@mdmorris75]

I am so happy for you...this truly brought me to tears with Happiness! I for one can not wait to see you dept free!!!!

[@chappieshappy]

Congrats on your debt payment this month. It won't be long now and you will be debt free!

[@freedominabudget]

Oh my goodness Sara!! I am so beyond excited for you, you have worked so hard in this and I am beyond thrilled!!!!

[@lynne2798]

You rocked it this month! Keep it up. For the first time in a long time (it might be ever) we had enough money at the end of January to make a snowball payment over $100. :) yay budgeting

[@gptable]

Your journey is really inspiring me to attack my credit card debt. Congratulations on being under $10,000!

[@simplydee2567]

Congrats! Your on your way to financial freedom.

[@ivorymelodies1]

That is amazing! So excited for you! This is my year to really hit it. I used to be debt free, and am determined to be again. Lots of happenings in 2016 that really ramped my numbers up, so this is the year to start paying. You are a very motivational young lady, and I'm quite happy to take some refreshers from you, and learn some new things. I'll be riding out the year with you! :)

[@ksk5664]

Happy Birthday. So so happy you had such a great month. You're definitely going to be debt free by the time the year is over.

[@carolkropczynski3636]

Congratulations Sarah!!!!! 2017 is gonna be the best year ever!!!!!

[@whatwouldpicarddomakeitso2581]

I'm two years to late as new here and watching your vids,I know you've done it here in Feb 2019,but I smiled to much for you with this budget and getting below 10,000 you did amazingly. Such a joyful video to watch.

[@graceface67]

this is so inspiring! when I saw the low debt number I thought you must have decided your 2000 you saved could go to debt. it's amazing to see all the little extras add up to be so significant without touching savings. you will be done so soon!

[@Lilsnukems]

You're amazing! I love watching your videos. Your tenacity over the past few years is inspiring and I can't wait to watch your debt free video later this year. I will be credit card debt free on 2/14/17, so I'm looking forward to that. I got really serious about paying down my credit debt in 05/2016 and had a total of $21,121 at that time. I still have a huge amount of student loans which probably won't be paid for 7 years or so but you inspire me to keep focused and keep going. Thank you!

[@melissataulbee2048]

You are rocking it!! So proud of you getting it done.

[@nancyosgood777]

How exciting!! All of your hard work is paying off! So happy for you!

[@shieh.4743]

Woo hoo...you go girl. My January has been rough, but nothing I could have done differently, so....whatever.

[@lisanaili]

Congrats on going below 10K! I did pretty good on my January budget but I still have to find more to put into debt, I'm starting BS2

[@emilycollins6895]

I'm so dang excited for you! You will be debt free way before the end of 2017!

[@dianechoate2906]

You know... I do not normally write down as many categories, or write things like ice cube trays, etc. I believe this will help me. Thank you... you are inspirational... Good girl!

[@patriciamartin5959]

Way to go, BG. You just keep on dancing, cause you have something to dance about!

[@beckyholbrook7395]

Wow, almost under the $9000 mark, too. I now let all adds play thru and thumbs up all videos. Helping all I can. YOU GOT THIS!

[@keebler5064]

[@andieszabo3360]

That's amazing! I was so excited when I saw that low number on your last video! Do you realize that a few more really good months like that and you're out?! And then that $2000+ is for you to save and spend and enjoy. Anyway, congratulations!

[@SaraMitchell09]
