Mr.Simple and my husband would get along 😂😂 he has the same hate for Christmas music

[@thesimplebudget]

[@natgoofy96]

Christmas all year!! I walked through Walmart today and happily perused through the Christmas decor and I'm not ashamed.

[@thesimplebudget]

love looking at christmas decor!!!!!

Hi Vada & Mr. Simple. Perfect cash stuffing. Sorry you were ill, stomach stuff just sucks!! ♥️♥️

[@AquaMaxRod]

IDK how ppl can't understand EVERYONE hates or dislikes daily things in their lives but still has to be a part of it to survive. Someone who hates taking pills but HAS to, to survive or be healthy and so on. No need to explain your opinions. ❤ Glad you're feeling better.

[@thesimplebudget]

thank you :) i understand that because i put my opinions out for people to hear, that opens them to criticism….but i don’t understand the thinking of “your husband does/says/thinks x….so why do you operate differently?” ultimately, we’re individuals, and we won’t see eye to eye on everything….and that’s ok!

I knew I was a unicorn!! I’ve never gotten covid even though my husband has had it twice. I’ll have to tell him he can’t get mad at me for following him around the house with Lysol and banning him to the guest room since it helped me achieve unicorn status.😂

[@JeanandKenny]

No Christmas music here until Dec 1, it's a rule! I haven't been sick yet (knock on wood!). Great savings today, I need to work on my sinking funds and let some of my secondary categories go for awhile. I'm doing the max we can, which is great, but I could do the really important things first and snowball the rest. I need to go back to the drawing board.

[@thesimplebudget]

a budget refresh from time to time is a great idea! i love knowing that there’s so much flexibility within this system.

[@twoupandadog5893]

Do you think it was heat exhaustion?

[@JanetUpdegraff]

I think November 1st is incredibly generous, I lean more toward December 1st and that’s kinda pushing it 😂😂😂

[@thesimplebudget]

lol perhaps- but you’re probably normal. i, on the other hand, am not 😂

[@JanetUpdegraff]

@@thesimplebudget 🤣🤣🤣 nobody’s ever accused me of being normal 🤣🤣🤣

[@helenkindrick7036]

Song to listen to...... I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas 🎄🌟

[@JeanandKenny]

Ok, singing that in my head right now :)

[@thesimplebudget]

love that one!!!

[@thesimplebudget]

lol right??

[@lindsaymegan6994]

I work in a school and a private practice with kids and I have never gotten COVID. Have been directly across from kids and got notice the following day or so that they came down with it. I think I have some weird immunity to it. (Knocking on wood!)

[@jessesmith4196]

Couldn't Mr. Simple be Goose from Top Gun?🤣I wouldn't mind paying taxes if I actually got to see the job its supposed to be for.

[@thesimplebudget]

lol he’s gonna crack up when he see this 😂 and i agree- while the concept of income tax, especially, bothers me- the waste of our government is even more infuriating.

[@lifewitherica5485]

I haven't gotten covid and I work in healthcare but oddly I have gotten pneumonia several times

[@thesimplebudget]

that’s wild!!!! sorry about the pneumonia tho- that’s rough :(

[@lenat946]

My hubby and I got covid really bad to the point where we just slept together again because if we were going to die why not die together? But the hubby was Mr super immune system before covid he could kiss me when I had the flu with snot running down my face and he would snuggle me kiss me and catch nothing. Now he will catch it so he's like ohhh no u don't don't breathe on me lol😂❤

[@thesimplebudget]

ugh. that’s awful. when i had it, it was miserable. i was so glad i got it during the summer so i could just lay in the sun and sweat it out!

[@TexasMile]

What is being referred to when people say living in a household that is funded by the American taxpayer?

[@gildedliberty6090]

Probably that Mr. Simple works for the government, in which case his paycheck is funded through the collection of taxes. (Unless I'm wrong.) I can empathize with her sentiments on taxes, as my partner earns through virtually the same method. It's conflicting sometimes.

[@thesimplebudget]

my husband has a government job :)

[@thesimplebudget]

this exactly. everything you said 🖤

[@BudgetRx]

how do you complain about taxes but not about HOA fees? HOA fees make me furious lol. they are incredibly similar . . . you get some reasonable benefits from it but terrible decisions are made in their use usually by power hungry ill-intentioned people and you are held to ridiculous rules.

[@thesimplebudget]

oh OH- boy oh boy do i hate the hoa. loathe. what power-hungry little tyrants. BUT. part of us becoming financially secure is so we can buy land and never be subject to one ever again!

[@Auntie-Chris]

Go Easter.!😊 So glad you’re feeling better, Vada.🩵 I know you mentioned Brie..There’s a recipe for Brie, cinnamon pear jam from Stonewall Kitchen and phyllo dough. I think they’re called Brie bites. They’d be awesome for a brunch. A woman at work makes them and they are fabulous.😊

[@thesimplebudget]

that sounds SPECTACULAR!!!! i’m gonna look that up!
