Thank you! 🙏🏽

To The Michigan Wolverine’s, The Aces & You Are Very Important To Us All…Your Walk & Talk Match & Compliment Each Other…Much Respect ✊🏾 To You Queen TJ…!!!

[@TalksWithTJ]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate all the love over the years. All things being very true in my fandom for sure but also in the energy I hoped to bring to this space, and it's nice to hear that feedback.

[@4SureFamily]

What people are missing is there's no guarantee with the SNKRS app. So get the shoes you want any way you can and use the SNKRS app as the last resort. On some of the bigger releases I couldn't even logon to the app. Several times the app has sever issues which didn't let me enter my payment hence I was not able to enter the raffle. This last happened on the Bike Air release and mostly happens on the Travis Scott releases.

[@TalksWithTJ]

Smart approach

[@ree7557]

Congratulations TJ! It’s been nice watching you prioritize conquering these student loans over frivolous spending. You have inspired many and have proven what a lot of motivation and dedication will provide. Bravo to you Sis 🎊 🎉 Keep it up 🙌🏽

[@TalksWithTJ]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I hope I was able to inspire someone to tackle their student loan debt with just a little more intention in how they spend, for a short period of time.

[@ohio1986]

Congratulations, TJ! While people were sleeping, you were knocking those loans out. It's definitely a wonderful feeling not having loans! 🎉🎉

[@TalksWithTJ]

An AMAZING feeling! Thank you!

[@ViewtifulStandUser]

Congrats on paying that off! I know that’s a great feeling to not have to deal with any longer. 🎉

[@TalksWithTJ]

Yes it is! Thank you! 🙏🏽

[@CoreyJ23]

Congrats🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I will be having this same feeling in about 3-4 years. I started paying more each month to speed up paying down my student loans

[@TalksWithTJ]

Nice!! Keep at it!!!! 👊🏽👊🏽

[@antwananthony4731]

Congrats Queen✊🏿 Love that we get to witness your growth and evolution.

[@TalksWithTJ]

Thank you!

[@Lauren-hy9ns]

LETS FLIPPING GOO!!! Your dedication and hard work paid off!! So excited to be able to celebrate with you👏🏻🎉🥳

[@TalksWithTJ]

🎉 Thank you! 👊🏽👊🏽

[@IWantMyVisionBack]

YES!!! You had a goal in mind, took the steps to achieve it and you did it!! Congratu-freaking lations!! That extra burden of debt and payments are no longer on your shoulders.. I know it has to feel amazing! I just paid off one of my student loan accounts and I have one more I plan on paying off in the next 6 months. No car payment, no credit card debt. It feels good!

[@TalksWithTJ]

I did, and it feels great to have followed through on that goal till the end. You're almost there and will be totally debt free! That's amazing! I know you got this!

[@brettbiggavelli8596]

Congratulations TJ 🎉 you are a blessing for your transparency during this pay down journey…… nothing but respect for your financial discipline

[@TalksWithTJ]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@bhill005]

Congrats on clearing that debt, TJ! Being living proof of what you preach is truly something to be proud of. SNKRS app is trying to kill our pockets over this coming week with three big Jordan releases all practically back to back. The White Thunders, those A Ma Manieres, and a re-release of the OG Concrete 3’s. I’m looking at that like this is just not fair. Why are they doing that to us? They dropped a whole bomb. Can’t even give us a moment to breathe😂

[@TalksWithTJ]

Thank you!!! Appreciate it!! And they're looking out for their best interest which is drop after drop at $200+ that will have people scampering to get them all. Brilliant on their part, now consumers just have to be equally smart and know if they can afford it or not.

[@isaacjohnson3436]

I’m glad I came across this video because I have some other things I’m dealing with that I’m trying to scrap off my plate . This is definitely motivation and conformation 🖤🖤🖤

[@TalksWithTJ]

Really glad it could help. Whatever you're working towards, keep at it, I'm sure it's not easy, but consistent action usually gets us where we want to be.

[@VALERIEE9999]

I'm so proud of you!!!!!! That's such a good feeling. I know what that's like. It's surreal. Congrats

[@TalksWithTJ]

It is surreal, thank you so much!

[@russellgray1917]

[@dmoore2272]

Congrats!!! I know you’re extremely happy, excited and relieved. Got the A Ma Maniére Jordan 3 but I’ll probably get the Jordan 3 black cement too. I do like the previous A Ma Maniére 3 as well.

[@TalksWithTJ]

Absolutely, all the things.

[@CaliBredBoii]

[@TalksWithTJ]

My pleasure!! Thank you!!!

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@unproductiveworkshop]

At first I thought you dropped $3700 on the Jordans (read the title too fast), but THEN I REALIZED YOU CLEARED THE LOANS!! CONGRATULATIONS!! It has been an insane journey watching your channel since August 2021 (around this time too!, and I'm incredibly happy for you!! I'm also beyond grateful that you took the time to teach all of us the value of financial independence in a world where we are quite "dependant" on consumption. Your channel has pushed for an intense personal mindset shift where I'm now prioritizing building wealth in the long-term and I've become much more selective with where my finances are directed. Exactly what you said at 10:00, when we're so passionate about hobby circles like this, it's so much easier to justify living in the moment and having fun without reeling back to examine the consequences. And I'm so grateful that you took the time to voice your valuable thoughts right at a time where I was unlocking more freedom and disposable income (compared to my teenage years) in my early 20s.

[@TalksWithTJ]

THANK YOU!!! It's been a journey. I wouldn't say one I wouldn't change because I wish I didn't buy as many pairs or clothes as I did, as I am selling and giving them away now. But I think that's simply another lesson and message I can share with people. What excites and serves you today may not in the future, and that's ok, growth and change happens. It shapes the journey. You've been a constant on the channel since 2021, a supportive one, engaging and sharing your own growth, which has been AMAZING to see, on my end. You never know who you will inspire and I often forget that, but knowing that my story helped you feel far more comfortable to challenge your own perspective on consumerism, saving, investing and your financial future means A LOT. Truly, I mean that and I appreciate the support. I say it often, you're well ahead of where I was in my 20s, and doing all of the things I wish younger me did better.

[@firefootwearpod]

I remember sending the final payment for my student loans back in 2020. It was an amazing feeling!

[@TalksWithTJ]

👊🏽👊🏽

[@coolneo0]

[@sneakerladi8849]

Yass! Queen, congratulations. Now it's time to pay off that car and house next !!🎉🎉🎉 Paid off my car now working on my credit card and mortgage now..

[@TalksWithTJ]

Thank you!! And yes, the car is next in time and I have no desire to be a homeowner at this time for many reasons. Wishing you the best on your payoffs.

[@bessie1384]

Congrats, TJ! I know the feeling. Do something nice for yourself! Had EA on the AMM3s but didn’t go for them. I don’t have a pair of BC3s, so I’ll wait for those instead.

[@TalksWithTJ]

Wishing you luck on those and we'll see what that will be in due time.

[@isaacjohnson3436]

I know exactly how you feel. I remember when I paid off my little student loan for barber school and all my 3 car notes. It all happened about the same time, right before I purchased my first home and and it felt amazing

[@TalksWithTJ]

Knocked it all! That's great to hear and it is a great feeling.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@JerineWentt]

Congratulations 🎉!!!! You did that !!!!! Thank you for always showing us how to do it and recognizing the process!!!!! I know most of us just focused on sneakers ignoring all of our own debts . Blueprinted the process!!! Heck yes I love those 3’s and don’t own the black cement 3’s … will I get them ? Not really chasing them like I used too. Going to chase some goals!!

[@TalksWithTJ]

Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement! I'll have a followup to hopefully help others see what's possible. And I love that you're going to chase those financial goals, if we did with even half the effort that we've chased pairs in the past, we'll absolutely hit them!

[@playingindies6730]

All these cool shoes releasing Me wearing my bright blue invincible run 2's (definitely better than the Invincible run 3!) The Ama 3 have not released here yet, I do want to try on Sneakers but if its a no its fine too, plenty of cool stuff releasing in the coming months and its not like my feet are naked. Congratulations on ending your student debt period! Must be a huge relief!

Appreciate you all tuning in!

[@PNWDADDY]

This is what the sneaker game needed. The materials are awesome looking. I got EA on sneakers and I will be going for another pair when they drop on sneakers and I prefer these over the black cement threes because I’m 31 and I know for sure these would stand out more than the, black cement and money is tight

[@PNWDADDY]

A ma 3 = grown man Black cement 3 = hype beast Honestly, I have a good job, but I don’t know what people are thinking. Why would you even go for the three black cement? If you got the reimagined bread I’m not a sneaker head but blows my mind how people have money to be able to buy the same color shoe just cause it’s a different model or OG cut. I got the reimagined 4 and this ama 3 and that’s it no more black shoes unless it’s a ama or Tiffany

[@TalksWithTJ]

Enjoy them, no doubt. Quality is always there for AMM.

[@TalksWithTJ]

Well people buy what they want with their money. It's hard to say a BC3 is for hype beast when it is an OG colorway from the 80s. That's hardly considered hype for many since they've likely owned the various retros over the years, before that term was even known. You may think an AMM3 is for "grown men" and that's your perspective but it doesn't make anyone else's wrong to see a classic black retro in the BC3 the same. And just because I may not have bought the Reimagined 4 bc I have an older Bred 4, I didn't judge people for still wanting it. Their choice, their money, doesn't affect me.

If you had to choose between the AMM Jordan 4 Dusk or the recent AMM 3, what would be your choice?

[@TalksWithTJ]

Do you mean the new Phantom AMM 4? I think that's what they're calling them...looks wise, probably the 4, but I wear the 3s I own more than the 4s I own.

[@darrellaustin7894]

Sorry to hear about the tab.

[@TJ_Graden]

Congratulations on paying off your student loans! Long time coming…such a great accomplishment! I did get exclusive access and still passed. I do like the shoe but I don’t think I need it. I’m still selling pairs and downsizing

[@TalksWithTJ]

Thank you so much TJ! And 1000% respect it

[@imQurnot]

Congratulations on crushing the loans! That's some grown folks stuff right there. AMM has never been kind to me, not on SNKRS, not through EQL, not anywhere. So I slept on these, pun intended...and that's OK.

[@TalksWithTJ]

Thank you!!! I definitely feel old but in good ways these days. And you being OK with it is a good outlook.
