I'll be dog gone ! I'm 62 and a professional interior /furniture painter and never in my life did I ever think to use a deck of cards to slip in while painting around a mirror or such.Never too old to learn new tricks !!! Thank you.

[@meepenjaap7999]

So true. 59 y/o here started refinishing furniture at 15(learned don't do it!!!) and painting at 12 with my dad. Was an eye matcher for 7 years. Thanks.

[@DaManDaMythDaLegnd]

yo, i saw that too and i was like...what?! it makes so much sense

[@ambercraft8465]

That is definitely an awesome trick I too do diyself projects and that is also the first time I've seen the card trick...Cool hack!!

[@Richie5480]

Yeah we use deck of cards when painting cars, like wheels.

[@michaelm9621]

That was so smart, I normally use panters tape, and it then cut it off with a blade. No more, totally stealing that play card idea. Thanks

[@lindabunce5133]

So proud of you. As a nurse, I worked extra shifts and extra jobs to help me pay off my loan. That was nearly 50 years ago. There is nothing greater than a strong work ethic.

What an inspiration you are! I will never regret my student loans taken so many decades ago. I took 20 years to pay mine off, but you are a rockstar! Teachers are so incredibly important. I am learning to decorate furniture for fun, not flipping, and I really appreciate the helpful tips that you and others are showing on KZbin. Before you know it, those loans will be long gone, and then what’s next? A new house, travel?

[@teriwood877]

I’m 72 years old and love your channel! My husband and I moved south from New York, ( small apartment after selling our house) to a pretty large house. After watching several of your videos, I started refinishing some of our own furniture to go with our new home. Then I started redoing thrift store finds to add to our home. I’m totally hooked! Currently making a coffee bar for kitchen.

[@kathywilliams1050]

You got a plan, you got a work ethic, you got integrity, and that student loan debt is gonna be conquered sooner rather than later. This is how it is done. Any further life challenges will be met as well, I have a feeling, as well as your being a good example for your students and others in general. Kudos. God bless!

[@nicolerodriguez7072]

I teach kinder as well and the student loan debt is depressing when I think about it! I started the Dave Ramsey program 1 year ago. I have paid off my credit card, my car, my husband's car and now I just started working on the student loan debt. It's overwhelming because my B.A. I incurred no debt, all of the student loans are from my master's degree. Your channel gives me hope that there can be a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you!!

[@wewemcrhyne]

I know the amount of the loan can be overwhelming. But look how much you’ve paid off in the last year! I’m so proud of you and your husband. My husband and I did the same thing 15 or more years ago. It was soooo hard, especially in ‘08-‘09 recession hit. But we did it! We started retirement, education funds for the girls (now in college) and bought life insurance. Last year my 52 year old husband died unexpectedly of COVID. The greatest gift he gave to me was financial stability so I can take care of my girls and not have to work full time. This probably won’t happen to you, but if something did happen, you’re better able to take care of yourself now than 1 year ago. And in a year, you will be even so much more secure. You’re doing a great job!!!

[@reginacampbell4618]

You got this Nicole. You are making great strides for you and your family. Keep the faith. Teachers are the best!!

One of the more informative infomercials for paint, nice seeing how all the colors come out.

[@jkn8705]

So my grandparents owned a huge antique warehouse & after my papa passed, my gma started selling off & giving away antiques to family for free. Every house I've ever lived in was & still is partially furnished with old, wooden antiques. Although my gma gave me the furniture, she's never allowed me to paint anything. She thinks I'll screw up a "nice piece of furniture." Watching this video gives me the motivation to paint a freaking nightstand, & it's also giving me something to show my gma. Maybe she'll let me paint something after she sees how great your pieces turned out! 🤞

Hi Lauren, I know this was after the “snow-pocalypse” (I’m in Dallas where we got several inches of snow, ice, power outages for a week and that’s what we called the storms, which we’re not used to here) and you’ve since paid off you student loan debt and now putting your income towards buying a house ! But W O W, girl!!! Congratulations!! This is so impressive and so inspiring!! You’re around the same age as 2 of my daughters (26 & 28), both using extra income to pay their SD off quicker too. I just love watching and learning from you (I’m the furniture artist/flipper, not the girls). You’re very talented and think it’s fantastic you’ve decided to make this your full time career (although I’m sure you were a great kindergarten teacher). So to thank you for all the content you put out (with the help of Neiman’s awesome AV talent), I’m going to “buy you a cup of coffee”.😊 Best of luck to you and your continued success!💜 Ashley

Thank you so much for being transparent not only with your flip profits but also your KZbin ad revenue. It’s really helpful. I just want to say how impressed I am with you finding creative ways to earn extra cash to get out of debt and set yourself up financially in life. I had a great career with 8 years of university behind me but even with that success, the cost of living in my city was so high that I was living paycheck to paycheck like most people are - it was house flipping that helped me eventually accumulate enough equity be mortgage free in my 40s. Stick with it!
