[@cutosaurus]

I’m watching this in 2018, after watching your fully funded emergency fund vid, and it’s SO inspiring to see how far you’ve come!!

[@sandjade1]

Currently binge watching Budgetgirl!🙋🏽‍♀️

[@StephanieSimplified]

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad I found your channel today, you seem really cool and down to earth. I like how you're open about your finances and how much you make because it makes me glad to know I'm not the only one in this... "income bracket" lol. Budgeting and saving for people like us is a whole different animal than upper middle class people who just cut out buying starbucks every day LOL

[@BudgetGirl]

Stephanie Simplified Amen to the starbucks thing! "Just stop going on vacations!" - they say. B please - like I'm not already buying store brands, cutting out eating out and making my own coffee.

[@BudgetGirl]

Budget Girl obviously, I'm not taking vacations.... and I haven't had Starbucks in years. I can make a full meal for $5 - I'm not wasting that on coffee!

[@thereaderbug398]

I am the complete opposite about weather. I don't want temperatures to ever get ABOVE 70! High 60's with a breeze feels wonderful to me. In mind, if you're cold, you can put something on to warm up but when it's hot there's nothing you can do. You can't run around naked, haha! I just moved somewhere that's hot year-round too, agh!

[@darrellbratton1045]

I am listening to you do your debt free scream on the Dave Ramsey show. That is how I discovered you. You inspire me and I will be following you as I get out of debt.

[@GD.1031]

New subscriber here. I LOVE your channel! You are a breath of fresh air, and a ray of sunshine. I am child-free and we're close in age, and it's nice to see this. So many videos are not very relatable because of children, spouses, etc. So happy for your success!!!!

[@Robynporter15]

I'm not much of a youtube commenter, but when you said Troop Beverly Hills, I about died! You are the first person, other than my sister, who I have ever heard mention it! That is my all-time favorite movie and when I tell people they have either never heard of it, or have never seen it. I ordered a dvd copy about two months ago and made my husband watch it!

[@thereaderbug398]

Beverly Hills, what a thrill! I LOVED that movie too! I haven't seen it in years. I need to find that. I used to watch it with my mom all the time. Her line she always says from the movie is, "He permed me!!!" Haha.

[@BudgetGirl]

thereaderbug Robynporter15 You people get me. I just made a friend watch Troop and he was like "meh," to which I responded "we can't be friends anymore." Just kidding, but kinda not. He's totally out of my zombie apocalypse team now. I need people who get my sense of humor. :-D

[@maryannraemisch6061]

I love how you and Gazelle InTents are buddies. They were the first debt KZbinrs I stumbled across and that's how I found your page. You are so creative and fun with your money saving ideas!

[@BudgetGirl]

They're fantastic. Thanks for coming over!

[@blathsilin]

Just watching your videos from the start. Really enjoying them! I hope you get to do all your travelling in the not too distant future and you should let us know where you are going in case we can give tips, having been there or living there! (I always get so excited when I come across a random mention of Ireland)

[@hijabimami863]

We are officially kindred spirits. I have asked often is eating a hobby. I think it definitely is ! Lol.

[@CWsMama7]

I am only 7 minutes in and I just busted up laughing at "Black Friday?" LOLOLOL. I love you! I also loved food as a hobby and your pet peeve. I think if we knew each other in real life we'd be BFFs. LOL

[@CWsMama7]

Never mind (kidding). You like summer. You do not like the cold. NOOOOOO! lol I LOVE the cold. I need to move to Antarctica.

[@deana6633]

Thanks for sharing. I'll be watching the loan pay off later today. Congratulations. How exciting. Yea!!!!!!!

[@brittneylyntalks]

Thanks for answering my questions! I feel like we know you a little bit better now :) I agree about not liking this cold weather! Hopefully it's almost done. Take care!

[@BudgetGirl]

Brittney Lyn Thanks, I think I accidentally skipped one someone asked about if I were a morning or a night person? Totes a night person btw.... all my videos are posted between 11 p.m. and 2a.m. :-)

[@kacieg4503]

You are one of my favorites, Sarah! Thank you for your videos!!!!

[@BudgetGirl]

Thanks so much for watching and for your support!

[@debthaters]

Yay for a fellow reporter (well, actually, I'm not a reporter anymore, but I was one for five years)! And double yay for another Reese's lover (: It was great getting to know you! Thanks for sharing!

[@BudgetGirl]

Debt Haters Yay fellow journo!... it's pretty sad that moving in to education is a significant pay jump from a reporter's salary. Unfortunately, a lot of people have to leave the field too soon seeking pastures with more greenbacks. I can't blame them - the education costs required and living costs are just too high. Well I'm a bummer right now. Glad to have you here!

[@mariahm15]

Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion is one of my favs too! 😊 Love your videos! Aloha from Hawaii!

[@JuliewithaPassion]

As an alumnus of Mississippi State, I am so proud to know you went to the "W"! Small world, right? Love your vlog, Budget Girl! PS: Columbus is a lovely town!

[@ThisLittlePiggySays]

You won my heart when you talked about people parking you in!!!!

[@anngawecki4152]

Glad to get to know you. I like that you play with your dog!

[@chasingsimpledreams]

We share a love of a lot of the same TV shows-- most of them are on the CW for me, like vampire Diaries, etc. I also get obsessed with Walking Dead when the new seasons become available on Netflix. Good for you on paying off that first student loan.

[@semdodson]

I am so with you on the Reese's. I cannot resist the trees, pumpkins or eggs! They are the best!

[@jessicaashley8907]

I used to love Romy and Michelle too! And the gummy bears and jalapeno Cheetos are some of my fav's too. Loved this video!

[@Mrsemptynester]

I loved your video!! You are so funny and made me laugh . My brother went to Mississippi State. I know Columbus. I live in California. I am excited for your "payoff" coming up. I am a new subscriber and I really enjoy your channel.

[@Megt0tes]

omg I feel ya.....im currently powering through a pack of 6 reese eggs myself lol....im so glad someone else gets my appreciation for that perfect peanut butter to chocolate ratio!!!

[@blathsilin]

Charmed!!!!!!! So much love for that show and so many memories! And Buffy! Love love love. I like Supernatural too but fall off the wagon of watching it constantly

[@pamswinning]

The Former Mrs Jones sent me over to watch one of your videos. I have watched a few and I have subscribed because I enjoy your content. Wish I could give 2 thumbs up. Tx

[@BudgetGirl]

Welcome! It was amazing of her to use the celebration of 1,500 subscribers to help fellow financial vloggers. She rocks!

[@88happiness]

I agree about the cold! I've decided that I have to get serious about this in 2020. Bindging on you and Dave Ramsey for a good cop, bad cop effect😃 My income and debt are similiar to yours so it's easy to picture the road ahead. Thanks

[@BudgetGirl]

I'm happy to be the good cop! lol

[@debbiemabrey3104]

Agreed 100% on Reeses! I could eat a box of 6 in a New York minute!

[@tarasieczko8871]

OMG you made me laugh. Fantastic getting to know you :)

[@Xballoway]

Ireland is amazing. I want to live there.

[@angelapennington4724]

I love hand and foot! I don't know anyone who plays it. I could see having a friend like you . The Reese pumpkins get me EVERY time...lol. I cannot ho to a store near Halloween and not buy at least 2 lol.

[@BudgetGirl]

I was literally telling Jacob last night that I need/want a pumpkin!

[@sonyabracho2347]

I want to make your creamy chicken recipe. When you say a handful or ranch.. do you mean the powdered ranch dressing mix in packets? Or salad dressing from a bottle. It sounds good!

[@BudgetGirl]

packet!

[@stephy8429]

I love troop Beverly Hills, I was a troop leader when my daughter was young. The other troop leader and I talked about that movie LOL.

[@amandaconnell2150]

Have y'all seen the promos for "Troop Zero"? I think it may already be airing on Amazon. It looks SO GOOD! When I get situated enough, I think that's going to be one of my rewards. @BudgetGirl thank you so much for your channel and all the work you've put into it. It really makes a difference to a lot of folks. It definitely helps me with motivation lol Save On!

[@rochellethundercloud346]

I love to cook.not quite cat cora level. hate crowds. must say.been watching your channel for a while. actually watch a lot of budget guru type videos. check out debt free dude.the financial diet. debt free chic.all have fairly decent advice on how to set a budget.live below your means.pay off debt.if you do part three on what not to waste money on, got some ideas.title loans.payday loans.lotto.magazine subscriptions.coffee shops. rent to own stores. most beauty treatments. if I can cut.style.color my hair at home,why pay a beauty salon fifty dollars we don't have to do it?same with facials.waxing.manicures.pedicures.makeup.got most of what would be needed to do this stuff.just do it yourself.save time.save a ton of money. plus the added bonus of knowing your equipment is cleaned properly.if a nail salon is really busy,they can't spend thirty minutes between clients to sterilize their metal utensils.or sanitize the foot tubs for pedicures. this sets the next person up for horrible infections. also.if you are going to or are thinking about cosmetic surgery. make absolutely certain the doctor is board certified.licenced.uses the right tools.has performed the proceedure multiple times. everything is properly cleaned and sterilized. do not ever try to save money on medical proceedures. you will pay way more to correct a messed up proceedure than you would had you taken the time to have it done right.

[@FrugalEnthusiast]

Wow...Look at how your life has changed in such a short period of time. Plus Troop Beverly Hills.

[@BudgetGirl]

always troop beverly hills ;-)

[@maureencairney9549]

By the way I meant to suggest you go visit Ana and Carlos at Slow Steady Win they are an awesome couple with a huge debt to crawl out of I think you will like their videos..

[@BudgetGirl]

Maureen Cairney I love them! They're too sweet.

[@maureencairney9549]

Can't believe I never asked you a question when I have so many. So can I ask you now, what do you use to vlog with is it a camera or a phone ??? Excited about tomorrow...

[@BudgetGirl]

Maureen Cairney I have a Nikon D5000 that I have used for years for my work as a journalist - it has a video feature, but really isn't the best for it. I also use a flip video camera I got off a Facebook swap page for $20.

[@maureencairney9549]

Thanks Sarah..

[@GroovyChic868]

Hi. I have a question. What is the best way to get out from under my car if I owe more than its worth?

[@RowdysMommy74]
