Frugal Living & The Fear Of Missing Out! One Pan Creamy Ravioli & Spinach Bake

[@QuiltingCrow]

16 years ago, I became so sick that afterwards, I had lost 1/3 of my legs and I'm in a wheelchair ever since. I feel like I'm missing out EVERYTHING healthy persons have and do. But then I understood that I have what others miss: time! I have all day to do what I like, I can go to bed when I want to, I can read or learn languages, I don't have to do anything I don't want to. Would I be happy to get my legs back? Of course. But having a handicap doesn't keep me from being happy and doing what I am able to and enjoy it :)

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

You are simply amazing! What a truly brilliant attitude! Thank you for sharing that! You are indeed an encouragement!

[@vixxcottage]

Thank you, been kinda down past week due to being disabled and increased difficulty ambulating. I am not in a wheelchair yet but am concerned. Been disabled for 2 years and continuous worsening. Your message is so needed. Thank you!

[@sherlynpatterson4304]

You are lucky to have a chance to reinvent your life and learn new ways of doing things. Happy to hear you are not letting that major change in your life hold you back. I have a similar situation.

I was widowed 18 years ago at age 55. I was always a stay at home mom and had no marketable skills to get a job. Well God has been so faithful and I am still in my home. Don't ask how. Only He knows. And Sunday my 45 year old daughter was rebaptized. She had been at 9 years old. Wanted to do as an adult. Best day ever. Great preaching and proud momma.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

[@normaresendez6358]

Emmy, I just started watching your video and something in the background brought me to tears. My first lunch pail was the Mickey Mouse lunch pail that you have on your kitchen counter. I took it to school from 1st grade until 3rd grade. After that, I used it at home for storing all of my crayons. I could spending hours coloring and drawing! I don’t know what happened to my lunch pail but thank you for bringing me a happy memory. I also appreciate all the effort you and Paul put into sharing how to live a abundant life on less money. Your videos are wonderful!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Oh my goodness! How very neat is that! My niece knows how much I love anything Disney and got it for me for the 4th of July! I will share your comment with her! Thank you!

[@mariecroarkin4899]

Emmy, You are a joy! I love to see the positivity, humor and kindness that always show through in every episode, so one of the things I am grateful for is time spent watching one of your videos. I am enjoying a more frugal lifestyle as I have gotten older and I realize that being frugal does not mean feeling deprived. I don't compare my life to others with envy or judge others for their choices but rather enjoy my simple life to its fullest. I know that for me , feeling the need to be constantly on the go or being surrounded by more material things are not what brings me contentment or peace of mind. Your thoughts on your videos about living a frugal and happy life are echoes of my own thoughts and daily living routines. It makes me smile when you pull out your vintage dishes, take joy in finding good deals in food hauls and utilize your spatula , as I do the same! One needs to be grateful for your blessings and be mindful of spending and waste to minimize stress and help maintain a happy life.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Amen! Exactly! Wonderfully said!

[@jonnaborosky8836]

I'm a closet fomo-ist, but I fight it fiercely. It's not relative to what others have or do... but relative to what I need that's on sale. Some times it works out a little bit OK, but not usually. It never gives me the peace that passes all understanding....only God can do that. Purchases make me grateful that God provides. My FOMO comes from feeling like I'm not receiving God's blessings to me. And yes, there is much better in life than FOMO, which FOMO can never give...you're so right, Emmy! Oh my goodness...that glorious hummingbird! Recipe looks SO scrumptious!! Thanks for sharing! Love to you! ❤

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Great comment Jonna! Thanks for sharing!!

[@karenschutte2856]

Good Afternoon Emmy and Paul. I am grateful for knowing Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour, my Hubby, our Biscuit, and that I still have my 92 y/o Dad, who lives out of state still in his own home. We get to talk several times each day. What a blessing! Enjoy your week.💜

[@lorismith1660]

I am grateful for the fact that all of my family I love are well.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Yes absolutely Lori! Thank you!

[@bex438]

I completely agree Emmy, if we can just flip our mindset from Fomo to Jomo ( Joy of missing out) we can celebrate what we already have and remove the constant comparisons and stress of feeling like we have to do/have what everyone else seems to do/have, it's such a liberating feeling to just not want/be interested in whatever that must have/do/buy thing is - Loved you singing to Dixie too, no money in the world can but times like that ❤

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Bex I love JOMO!! So great!! Yes, the love of our fur babies is one of the greatest gifts ever!!

I’m thankful for my kids and granddaughter. My health and being able to worship God. The fear of missing out happened to me when I wasn’t being frugal. Now I can choose what I spend my money. In May I enjoyed my trip to my daughters wedding. I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything. I chose what was important on the trip.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

So smart Sheryl! Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@kathleendillie3556]

I find that I have a FOMO on good deals at thrift stores, which makes me want to stop and shop even when I don't need anything. Lately, since I've realized this, I've been much more successful at just driving past the stores. I'm thankful for my husband who works very hard to provide for us.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Yes I’m always afraid I’m going to miss out on a good deal too LOL. Just keep driving like you said… Thanks for watching!

[@lindashaw9034]

I loved seeing the hummingbird and the Bee Bomm! I have no idea how to spell that flower! Emmy, you can’t go to everything, be invited to everything, or buy everything. Taking it slow, enjoying where we go, enjoying our encounters with friends and waiting until we purchase what we really want is a Golden place to be. Mostly, I find my local community and church congregation events and friends are just enough. By the way, I bought my Instant Pot because it looked so useful and it worked out for me. I have not fallen into the air frier craze as the units take up too much space for what they accomplish. I guess it is very personal.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Thanks for sharing and watching Linda!

[@grammysix5459]

I really wanted to love an Insta pot, but I bought one and I’ve used it only twice and I can’t stand it. I love my trusty old crock pot. Live and learn. It’s like brand new and I’m going to donate it. I’m so content with what I already have. Thank you for sharing this!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

I love my crockpot too!! Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone lol!

[@janisswope5766]

I also had to get an instant pot. I hardly used and didn’t like it. But I bought it because I thought I had to have it. I just recently donated mine too.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

It was amazing to watch Essi!

[@JustClaireGrace]

I love this video so much. I think living frugally, on a budget, often gives the idea of missing out. But I honestly don't see it that way at all! We can live an amazing, fun-filled, exciting life, while also being on a budget! I don't have 'FOMO' as I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything at all. My husband and I are on a debt-free journey at the moment, and we stick to a tight budget...but don't miss out on anything that matters to us. It's all about priorities I think. Thanks for the great video!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

So very true! We have so much more than we realize sometimes!

[@lilalavendel3951]

Absolutely guilty! My FOMO are organic food. Over the last years I have read so much about "you have to buy organic food", "only this food makes you stay healthy". It stresses me out! When I buy organic food because "they" tell me I have to do this, than in the first moment I am happy about all the healthy food. BUT, when I am at home I realize how expensive my haul was and that makes me unhappy. Also beauty products. Everywhere I read "buy only nature scincare, don't buy creams with mineral oil etc." And again, I bought the expensive nature creams and at the end I was not happier. Now I am working hard against this FOMO stress. I am so thankful for this reminder. Please stay healthy and being so wonderful ❤.

[@rochellethundercloud346]

With organic,if you,personally did not grow it in a biodome,you.cannot verify it is in fact organic.wind blows pesticides,herbicided,etc all the time. As for skin care,make it yourself,or use the basic stuff that works for yoy

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

I’ve been on a frugal journey for a few years. I was sorely tempted when my sister bought a new Bronco. Happiness for her, but jealousy reared it’s ugly head. I didn’t actual want a new car, mine is fine and paid for! What I did to combat that is looked at how much sooner I could pay down my mortgage without a car payment and it checked me back into reality.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

So smart to look at the purchase that way! WIN!

Great message! Thanks for putting it out there without being too preachy. I came across your channel recently after I cut cable tv....a frugal action. I'm liking the inspiration here. I'm retiring in about 4 years but had some unfortunate life circumstances that made good preparation for it not happen, so I'm playing catchup at age 62. I've made a casserole like your dish for years that my family loved. I made the creamed spinach and layered it in a baking dish with the ravioli on top with some diced tomatoes and crumbled and cooked italian sausage. Cover with foil and bake. It's not as fast as frozen but I found the dried tortellini worked well also. My bunch are meat lovers.

He stopped and asked if we could have it for supper sometime because it sounded so good. Well, I made it tonight.. I have a system of 5 stars for new recipes. Giving it a rating of 5 stars means it is really good and I will make the recipe again. My husband gave this recipe was given 10 stars! Lol Thank you for sharing it.

Hi Emmy, thank you for another video! My FOMO is traveling. I want to see as much as I can in this lifetime, but I know that frugal or not, it probably won't happen at the level I imagine it. However, with living a frugal lifestyle and eventually becoming debt free, I'll have the funds to save up for some nice trips! You're very right about having what's important to us right in front of us, one of my regrets is not spending more time with my grandparents and dad before they passed. Family is more important than my dreams of traveling, and I have them close by!

Love your comment Jemi! I'm sure you'll enjoy those trips!! Family is the ultimate I agree! Thanks for watching!

Another excellent video. There's so much to think about here. I was talking to a friend while walking in a beautiful park in Dublin and we said why rush off on holiday when we have nature and lush greenery on our doorstep. It's one of the best videos I've seen on frugality because it gets to the heart of it. Frugality is not missing out-its fun and makes one really creative in thought. I also have to say -i work as a cook and your recipe is one of those great recipes that can be adapted to add anything you like. Even a dash of tomato puree would add an extra dimension to it. Also I love the mixer (the kitchen aid-we call it that in Ireland) you have in the background. I know from experience in kitchens that a machine like that can last for years and has a multitude of purposes. Being frugal too means that one can spend money on proper things like that,even if they are expensive initially, they will last for years.

What a truly delightful comment you shared Michael! Thank you! Your words were so encouraging and much appreciated!!

This was a great video! Through my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I have learned how to be content with what I have. I fail at this once in a while but but I always come back to my way of life.

Wonderful!

Great video. I was born and lived in a third world country. I am grateful to live in the United States of America. If anyone can freely watch this video right now, I hope you realize how wealthy you already are.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

I couldn't agree with you more! We are beyond blessed! Thank you!

I generally don't give a rip about keeping up with others. In one of the highest priced areas of the nation, I do admit I envy households with 2 incomes. In my mind, extreme frugality long term that barely affords needs could flip to massive ability to save and build wealth with another significant earner in the house. (Moving/2nd job not an option for certain reasons). Not good to dwell on this, but rather on being grateful and counting blessings. Thank you for such a positive, inspiring video!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Michelle thank you! You have a great attitude!

[@sallyluchterhand3139]

I feel like you do about the FOMO feeling. I wish it didn't get to me but every once in a while it does. Luckily I am so blessed in my life that I don't give in to the feeling of missing out as often as I see others do. Love your channel and the message you inspire us with week after week.

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Oh that is so kind of you Sally! Thank you!

I just spent $210 on Chili gift cards at Walgreen’s , it gave me $70 in free Walgreen’s gift cards! I hate missing free Walgreen’s! I guess my family will be getting them for gifts!

[@FrugalMoneySaver]

Well at least you can use them as gifts! They definitely won't go to waste I'm sure. Thanks for watching Robin!
