What goals are you working on right now?!

[@K_Sumpter]

Right now, getting out of student loan debt. I enjoy your content btw 😊

[@loveandjoy810]

I got a small bonus and raise this month so I’m working on building a one month ahead fund. I also used some of that money to start funding back to school for my teen for August and a tennis lessons fund for summer. She wants to take tennis lessons. I didn’t pay for lessons last summer because I really didn’t know where to pull that money from- my smaller savings? or try to cash flow it? Now that I have a tennis savings bucket I can just pull the money out when she’s ready for summer lessons. Having dedicated sinking funds really gives peace of mind. It also gives me permission to spend it for those things.

@@loveandjoy810 it really does! I love being able to fund extracurricular activities because it helps these kids so much I believe

[@wildrosecottage9844]

Just paid off 2 small credit cards and put starter e-fund in savings. 1400 left on the last debt and i will be debt free other than mortgage! Ready to build up some more savings!

[@DyanaMariie]

NICE! Okayyy👏🏽

[@FIRE_DrNinjaTurtle]

I look for your videos every week.

[@DyanaMariie]

Thank you!

[@cuzinangel2355]

As far as finances I am working on paying off my credit cards very aggressively. I'm grateful that the majority of my student loans were forgiven recently (I'm still processing that). If I stick to my budget I can be totally debt free (car, student loans and credit cards) in less than 5 years...maybe 4 with extra payments. THANK YOU so much for sharing your journies, it has helped me tremendously ❤😉

[@DyanaMariie]

Whew! Congrats on getting the majority of them forgiven cause I know that felt GOOD!

[@brittanij.3814]

Became debt free last month. I am focusing on savings now and just enjoying life a little more.

[@jusaverage6347]

I just paid off my fence loan today! Now i can start saving money to build out the rest of my barn and such :) it's exciting to see others on the same journey as me

[@yvettevargas1311]

The goals I am working on is to Increase my income in order to pay off debt and start an emergency fund. I enjoy every video you make, thank you!

[@DyanaMariie]

I’m proud of you!❤️

[@maryannrogers8675]

I’m focused on building up my emergency fund slowly adding $250 each month. I’m also paying down principal each month on my mortgage. No credit card or car loan at this time. You’re doing so well. Keep moving forward one step at a time

[@stefflores]

The mortgage increase isn't even close to how much rent has gone up recently so I wouldn't even sweat it on that!

[@NEVBB24]

Thank you for the motivation!

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

Finally started my consultancy...because I finally started refurbishing my house and the money is done half way thru 😢 So I don't live anywhere and I need to get my income up quick! And I'm burnt out and now have 3 jobs (funny but not) But the aim is to quit the 'regular' job by the end of summer (good riddance) so the consultancy needs to be making TWICE as much as that job by then Wish me luck!

[@DyanaMariie]

It can and shall be done!

[@melissarodriguez4531]

I am focused on my sinking funds. Great job on making progress 👏🏻

[@clarapinto9410]

Consider filing for homestead exemption, it saved us money

[@carolinepankey21]

I am following your 70/20/10 rule for my tax return. It will allow me to pay off all of my affirms and two credit cards with the 70%. Creating a buffer in my two accounts and savings with the 20%. After that we will be focusing on our last credit card and then the car loans and savings

[@DyanaMariie]

I love to see this, I know it feels like a big relief to get down to just one last card

[@nadinewalker9375]

I feel you on having debt just lingering. My mortgage is the only debt I now have outside of utilities and I currently in the process of paying it down by sending in and extra $250 biweekly. I’m just praying I can stay on track with that amount.

[@MissBooi]

Working to paying off 2 loans by the end of the year and to start saving again.

[@Sitasbudgetingjourney]

My goal is to finish paying off my final credit card so I can start paying off my mortgage 😊

[@aleciariddick7719]

For my finances, I am trying to get a job that I can love. I just canceled an interview because after I researched the company I found out they suck for employees. I would like to have a side hustle in copywriting but I have yet to finish my copywriting course so I can know the ends and out of the business.

[@DoTheDomThing]

At this point, I’m just trying to save and not backslide. It’s a tug of war on these dollars and goals right now. 😅

[@DyanaMariie]

Chilleee!!! And it’s ghetto! Maintaining is a beast lol

[@Katsplace.]

Hello, I have always focused on paying off my lowest credit card first, which I have done so I can pay on other cards that's higher, and it does help my credit report. It is so easy to be tempted to use your card that's paid off, but I try my best not to use it. I thank God that all of my student loans were forgiven and I received a refund for payments that have made over the years for my daughter who now has her master degree but if i had to do it all over again for her to get her education, i wouldn't hesitate to take out another loan even if it wasn't forgiven, a good education can make a person's life so much easier in the long-term. God bless you and your family. 🙏❤

[@DyanaMariie]

Thank you!

Hey, I’m 24 y/o and I’m working on a 6month emergency fund, I’m at about the 3/4 month mark. The only debt I have is $4,300 in student loans left. I have paid $4,000 already. Taking break and only doing minimums on that now.

[@everythingkendra36]

Hello. I enjoy watching your videos. I feel like we have a lot in common. I’m a first time homebuyer. Desperate to get out of previous situation. But anyways right now I am focused on building my savings back up after paying off over 12k in student loan debt.💞

[@DyanaMariie]

Congrats on the home. When that savings gets back right girl I know it will feel so good having that AND being in your own home. That’s what I keep reminding myself.

[@everythingkendra36]

@@DyanaMariie Thank you!💞

[@so.many.obstacles]

I too need to replenish my emergency savings account. It was a blessing to have it when I needed it. I just paid off my last credit card so the only debt I have left is a 401K loan and I owe the IRS $2K. After those are paid I will accelerate my savings and investing. I also have trips to Tulum, Maui, South Africa, and possibly a cruise and camping. I put off a lot of traveling the past four years to focus on debt and I have accomplished a lot in these years.

[@DyanaMariie]

Take those trips and ENJOY them! Sounds like you’ve more than earned them

[@Latty_J]

I’m currently working on saving and paying off my last debt (CC). I’m currently waiting for the start date for a new wfh job and planning to find another one once I have this one under my belt to increase my income.

[@DyanaMariie]

Congrats on the new job!

[@FIRE_DrNinjaTurtle]

We as new real estate investors go through the wringer. Even experienced investors go through it. Hang in there and keep moving forward, even if you stumble. You are on the path to millionaire status. I will still be here watching the entire journey.

[@chrisulastone9151]

I just started saving for my new water heater, but the old one wouldn't wait. So I went ahead and financed the new one at 7.99%. I'm definitely going to try to get that one to go away sooner!

[@DyanaMariie]

Oh no! My water heater didn’t even give me time to breathe lol. Hey it happens!
