I PAID MY STUDENT LOAN DEBT OFF BY FLIPPING FURNITURE

[@susancarroll7697]

I pulled out drawers to clean a used dresser from a consignment shop and came up with an envelope that had a graduation card and 350.00 in it. I was able to find the recipient and return the money. She had been looking for it for over a year.

[@cathylehman7538]

Doing the right thing when no one is looking. Your are RS raised you well

[@Ichiko980]

You did well susan. 😊

[@krissifaith6709]

What a kind soul

[@kathrynkneeland7179]

In this day in age, you brought me to tears for your goodness. God bless you.

[@brandycook6455]

This comment made me cry! That is beautiful!🥰

[@LAK1253]

This is Aaaaaamazing! Now you can flip to buy a house...flip to go on vacation... flip to help others just like you! Skies the limit

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

That's the plan! Thanks for supporting!

[@TinaOnEarth]

Congratulations! You are my inspiration! I am a medical student that has been flipping furniture to pay off my student loans since the beginning of the pandemic. Hopefully I’ll make it just like you.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

You will! (: Thanks for your support!

[@andrerieulllofficialls2935]

stop having such worries you can make it . Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?

[@Michelle-wd2oy]

SAME!!!! I’m about to start a couple of pieces this spring.

[@leeleescraps]

Time to start a furniture flipping channel 🙂

[@kariscreativequest1711]

Maybe several of you medical students, residents, etc...should bind together and create a channel.

[@susie-k-q]

Girly!!! You now open a Roth IRA and you learn to invest!!! There are so many incredible KZbinrs that will teach you the way. Oh, the places you will go!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks, Susan!

[@shawnhilliard]

100% agree! You could flip your way to $6k each year, maxing out a Roth IRA every January. I've had a lot of success with the company Vanguard (I'm a school psychologist, not a rep for them in any way). My Roth IRA has averaged at about a 12% rate of return over the last 6 years since I set one up.

[@lonimalloy2107]

Congratulations!!! You are Awesome!!! I work for a school district and love the idea of you supporting Teachers! I have been flipping furniture for several years now. I started to help pay for my kids college. My last child is going to graduate next month!...debt free!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

That is awesome! What a story! (: Thanks for your support!

[@andrerieulllofficialls2935]

Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?

[@sheripride428]

I love that you’re helping other teachers. My roommate in college has been teaching for close to 30 years now, but she graduated with students loans. We owe it to you and all the teachers out there. You teach and love our kids, nieces, nephews and grandchildren!

[@andrerieulllofficialls2935]

that’s amazing Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?

[@lolroque]

I actually cried... That's awesome! Good job! And your neighbor is awesome!

[@eifltwrgrl]

Me too!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Awe, thanks Erica! (: I appreciate your support!

[@kimmatura3564]

So did I! 😭😭

[@dmbbennetts6941]

I did too!!

[@cynthiaallcorn1407]

Me, too!

[@jwith384]

I want to personally thank you for being such a being of love and light in this time. We need more light workers and teachers that are passionate about helping the next generation of teachers.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Wow, thank you for the kind words and for supporting! (:

[@megmartin3237]

OMG why am I crying about her paying off her student loan. Congratulations. You really do wonderful work.

[@Lisa_MS64]

Congratulations!!! How wonderful that your neighbor was the "winning" client. I really admire your ingenuity and determination. Looking forward to the next chapter!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you so much!

[@ChristinaMuscari]

So inspiring! Y’all are amazing! Keep up the great work and congrats!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you, Christina! (: Neiman and I appreciate your support!!!

[@andrerieulllofficialls2935]

you are welcome... Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?

[@suequinn1501]

Hi, I have a tip for you. Whenever you sand an item or piece of furniture you should ALWAYS sand in the direction of the grain. No circular motion!!! It will leave circular marks on the wood & will show thru the stain. Hope yhis helps you. Good Luck!!

[@ElaineElliott-m3r]

Absolutely !

[@vzeimen]

So proud of you. Who knew that this journey would become so much more than getting out of debt.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you!

[@andrea.rivers]

That's so amazing! That's so fun it was your neighbor who was so supportive. Congratulations!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Yes it was! Couldn't have planned this! Thanks for your support!

[@lifeofaimee6259]

I'm so happy for you Lauren. What an amazing achievement in four months...So proud of you that you are looking to help others also.

[@mollymiller3945]

Way to go, Lauren! I am so proud of you. It has been amazing to watch you on this journey! I love your goal and your heart for helping teachers pay off their student loans. Congratulations!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you so much, Molly! Thank you for your support! (:

[@christinamariemoney]

I am SO happy for you! I found your channel at the beginning of your debt/KZbin journey and I’ve been so impressed by your hard work and motivation! ❤️ You are such an inspiration for people like me who are also trying to pay off debt! Thank you for your incredible content!

[@jeanschwartzbauer1564]

I have been watching and learning from you for some time now and you are an inspiration to all "hard working" people. Instead of whining about your student loan debt and waiting for the government or someone to forgive it....you went to work and accomplished it yourself. I was as excited as your great neighbor who purchased the "payoff piece" to watch this episode. Congratulations and continue to be the person you are. Through your channel I feel I know you and am proud to do so. Your students through the years will definitely remember "their kindergarten teacher"! Keep painting and I will keep watching.....

[@cybrgrlseveneighttwo1510]

That was amazing. You've accomplished a huge feat in such a short time! So many people spend most of their early career paying off debt and you've done it in just 4 months! Kudos. What a fantastic achievement. You should be so proud of yourself!

[@RhaenyshaVelaryon]

You got caught in my algorithm & now I’m hooked! Congratulations on your achievement, debt free is the way to be!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@sharontaylor7349]

congratulations! I love watching you. As a mom of three college students who are doing it dept free so far, I applaud your tenacity in paying off your debt as fast as possible. This video made me a little weepy, but happy tears for you!

[@thriftythrifter1166]

Congratulations!!!!!! So excited for you WOW!!!!!!!! What an accomplishment!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 and it’s was your neighbor of all people being your last furniture buyer!!!

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

CONGRATULATIONS LAUREN!!!. 💐😍 I've been with you since the beginning and I am so happy you have reached your goal. May the Lord continue blessing you🙏

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you so much!!

[@Anberel]

I love that you’re not just showing your flips, but also teaching people to do this for themselves. You really are the Furniture Flipping teacher. You deserve all your amazing success. Congratulations on hitting your first goal. Good luck with whatever you choose to tackle next. I’m sure you’ll smash it, too.

[@KingNiQs]

Time to put this on the big screen 📺😊

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Our time will come! (:

[@xraydog2011]

Word up !

[@nadinehooten6342]

So happy for you! My husband and I recently started watching your videos. You've learned so much, so fast! But from these old people in Kansas, to you young person in Nebraska, please take care of your knees! My husband worked on concrete floors for years and had to crawl on his knees under machinery. Did not protect his knees. He has had both of his knees replaced. Be safe girl!

[@nlozoya85nl]

I was like “what?! She’s not doing anymore videos?!” Lol! You got me! Congratulations!

[@debolsen3294]

What a cute reaction from your neighbor and the person to help you complete your pay off!!! That is so awesome!!!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Yes! It was wonderful!!

[@andrerieulllofficialls2935]

thank you ... Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?

[@anitaensing407]

OMG, you got me! It broke my heart when you said that it was going to be your last video! Don’t do this to me!

[@anitaensing407]

Congratulations again!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Hahah! Got ya! We're here to stay!

[@monicahernandez7431]

Congrats!! I’m just so impressed by you. Teachers are amazing and definitely don’t get paid enough. How wonderful that you’re helping other teachers now. You definitely rock!!

[@pattiereiter9265]

I'm not crying--you're crying! WOW! This is AMAZING!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you!

[@debigates3033]

Congratulations!! Your neighbor is so sweet! So glad he was the one who pushed you across the finish line in paying off your student loan debt. And thank you for inspiring me and others to join your journey. I lost my husband two months ago and a huge amount of income. You showed me it's possible to flip furniture and make serious money. This is going to help me pay my bills. Thank you!!!

[@doubleu1017]

What an amazing goal to help other teachers! I'm here for it!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Yay! Thank you!

[@amywallace2508]

OMG! I about fell out of my chair when you said this was your last furniture flip! LOL I'm so glad that you will continue to make videos and happy that you will be helping others with the profits of your flipping. Congratulations!

[@sheliaberry877]

Lauren, CONTRATULATIONS! I am so THRILLED for YOU! You have worked so hard and you deserve all this success. You do such quality pieces! The best to you!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate your support!

[@kathleenkarsten5739]

Well done! You must be so proud of yourself! You also have the BEST neighbor EVER! Love to all! ❤️❤️❤️

[@dbloom6705]

Congratulations! It took me 11 years to pay off my student loans. Will be done at the end of this year.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

That is awesome! Took awhile but still a huge accomplishment!

[@nancym1576]

Congratulations! I've watched a few of your video's and have enjoyed them all. This is actually my favorite piece! How touching that it was your neighbor who helped you with your last sale to pay off your student debt! I hope some young folks learn from your journey and become inspired to apply such great ethics to their own lives. Truly a pleasure watching you.

[@amymaccord6155]

Congratulations!!! It took me years to pay off my student loans with the pittance they call our salary!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Yes! I agree!

[@reginaldwilkinson6019]

I suggest using a sharp wood scraper to remove the finish then “lightly” sand. Power tools on furniture tops can be like oil and water.

[@marybanspach4056]

You are kick ass!!!! I am so proud of you-you know how many people spend most of their lives trying to pay off their loans-:)

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you, Mary! (: I'm so excited!

[@donnapadgett5901]

You go Lauren! I am a teacher, too, and know how tired you had to be after working all day teaching your little people, then coming home to flip furniture. So proud of your accomplishments and inspired how you are working to help others!

[@robincivis9501]

Congratulations!!! You rocked it like a pro. Woot! Woot!!!! Such an admirable goal and now helping others?!!! How inspiring!!!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks so much, Robin!

[@joannesferrati3076]

You Go girl, Congradulations! Glad you are sticking with your channel helping teachers pay down their loan debts

[@dianalyon5609]

Congratulations! You're so fun to watch! So glad you're going to continue.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Of course! Thank you for your support!

[@jantinney5397]

YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION!!!!! I’ve told EVERYBODY about you. You have the right ideas. Now you will go through your future w/o dragging that debt behind you. You’re FREE!!!!

[@noneofyourbusiness7094]

Not only did your neighbor get to celebrate helping you pay off your loan, he got a very nice custom finished piece of furniture to coordinate with other pieces he already had.

[@barbaramobley8845]

Beautiful and I love the hardware style. I wud loved to have seen it like you first planned it but that blackish very classy. Congrats!!!

[@karenhirsch1680]

Congratulations! I have been watching for a couple months now I am so impressed with all you have accomplished. And I am really excited that you will be helping with other teachers' student loan debt. There couldn't be a better cause and I will be donating as much as I can!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Awe thank you, Karen!! Appreciate your support!!

[@leroygordon9989]

I legit got mad when you said you were done! You go girl! I'm so proud and happy for you, it does feel amazing to accomplish goals you have set for yourself! Keep up the good work!

[@rkeller8141]

So pleased that your hard work has paid off. When there’s a will, there’s a way. Thank you for the example that you both are.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you so much!

Would you like us to enlighten you more on it?

[@1tbaccus]

Youngin you have made me cry. I’m so tickled for you. I’m smiling and crying and thankful on your behalf.

[@sueshe5953]

It only took you four months! That is freaking awesome.

[@dianaflegal4495]

Happy Dance! So thrilled for you and your happy customer and neighbor! Way to go! I just paid off my credit card debt - it took me ten years! I now only purchase things with cash. I am also living a near minimal lifestyle and am so much happier!

[@jillbuchanan833]

Hang on... THE LAST VIDEO? Lauren, you’re so successful with this, why not keep flipping for a new goal? And of course, congratulations! Truly inspiring. Except for the stopping part. Omg you totally got me on that.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Yes! Thank you! Hahaha! We are here to stay! (:

[@NoeliaGonzalez7591]

Soooo proud of you. I know I join a large number of fans who are celebrating this very moment. We all join your parents who have been there for you all the way. Shared the video with a friend who has a huge debt. Thanks for starting something so beautiful. You are the best.

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thank you so much for your support and for sharing with fellow teachers!

[@tatyanarosa]

This piece turned out amazing! & what you are doing now is also so amazing!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks, Tatyana!

[@creativesparkclara]

I am not a furniture flipper but came across your Behr chalk paint video and I’m so happy that you achieved your goal and in such a short time! So amazing! You are an inspiration! You go, girl!!

Woo-hoo!! Congratulations! And that piece of furniture looks great. My first thought was doing it the way you planned, but wow, it was perfect for your neighbor. Way to go.

[@kyndalldisanto243]

My feelings were legit hurt when you said it would be your last video. 🤣🤣🤣

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Hahah! Ohh no! We're here to stay!

[@ofeliabracamontes788]

Yay! CONGRATULATIONS on paying off your student loan! I just came across your channel yesterday and you have inspired me to both refinish some furniture for myself and to flip some for profit.

[@C00ki3m0nsta25]

I almost cried 😭 when she said last video.... 😭But I'm glad it isn't I'll continue to watch lmaoo 😆😂😂

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Thanks for your support!

[@zelmabyrn2115]

Congratulations Lauren in paying off your student loans, a major accomplishment!! Continue to teach and touch the lives of millions of teachers out there that can benefit from the assistance and initiate the steps in flipping furniture. I would like to try and do this considering I live in a second story apartment. I need to pay off a credit card and have additional funds available during my retired years. Keep up with the videos!!

[@angelajuneau7457]

So proud for you! Congratulations! I had just started dabbling with painting a chair after watching Debbie of DIY, Christina Pretty Distressed and Melanie of Windmill Vintage. I now have hope and inspiration that I can pay off my 10.000 ish credit card debt and my ultimate goal is to be able to quit my job and make it a full time thing. Thanks again and I will definitely see you on the flip side.

[@pupanchors]

Congratulations! Your KZbin fans are very proud of you!

CONGRATULATIONS on your continued success. Don't stop. You're good at this - furniture and KZbin

[@lynnannhanks8519]

OMG I cried when you announced you finally made it. Paying off your student loan. You ARE the inspiration to many. Just how many of you are out there that need to pay off that loan? Get in touch with this team and get dust flowing on your goals.... I now have serious tears running down my face....CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@alondaclinton]

Wow! I just found your channel and what a great place to catch you! Goal day! Congratulations! You are proof that with hard work you can get your debt done!

So happy for you!! Still looking to your furniture flips for all future goals. Good luck to you. Onward and Upward!!!

[@juliesmith7065]

Yeah!!!!! I am so happy for you! Job well done!! I got teary eyed watching this video.

[@elainehoward8822]

You are amazing, such a kind person, I hope that you can carry on flipping furniture to help other teachers. But first, I hope you take a short holiday, maybe a spa break, where you can relax and enjoy your accomplishment. Thank you so much for sharing your happy news, I’m sure it was a video we were all hoping to see. xx

[@rebeccaslawson8378]

Congratulations, Lauren!!! I've enjoyed watching this leg of your journey and am excited to continue watching you into the next!!!

So happy for you. Love, love, loved all your videos especially this one. Keep on flipping and laughing! Cheers! Andy

[@dawnmarieheaton0614]

We are excited for you!!! Congratulations!! Woohoo!!! So happy for you. Thanks for all you do!!!

[@laurieg673]

By far this was my favorite piece you've done. The silver & black combo was classy & I'm not a black furniture loving person. I cried when you first said you were going to paint the hardware. So glad the buyer chose that color mix!! It's amazing you reached your goal so quickly. Furniture Flipping is definitely popular KZbin content as well. You are definitely going to become a top content provider on KZbin. Congratulations. You deserve it for all that hard work.

[@robinsaxophone232]

Just started watching you. I was so tickled to see how happy you and your neighbor were to be able to pay off your debt. And it does my heart good that you are giving back.

[@TraumaQueen65]

PRO TIP: From a furniture restorer... steel wool can get into those little crevices you have on the drawers. It also helps when you use a paint stripper. Congratulations for reaching your goal, Lauren. You're an inspiration! Nice work on the neighbour too 😉

[@TheBuddafly99]

My heart sank when you said that you were going to stop. I just found you and I absolutely love this channel! I have student loans (a nurse) as well and ready to start flipping to pay them off

[@maribelroman]

Congratulations Lauren! Persistence and dedication pays off.

[@kmgreen1740]

Congratulations! Not only did you take care of your own loan but now you are helping others. What an admirable work ethic. I'm glad you are teaching. Hopefully your character will inspire your students.

[@theresedignard4267]

That is a gorgeous piece. Before and after are both nice. But your version brings it into the now. Glad your loans are paid off. It took me decades to clear mine. That first night with no student loans….I slept so well. You were so smart to go this route to free your school debts.

[@mastiffmom2592]

CONGRATULATIONS! I have fallen in love with this channel. I’m going to start flipping furniture myself. Reading through some of the comments, taking the advice of others, lady girl YOU will set yourself up for incredible comfort and stress free money situations. I’m 55, what my hubs & I would give to have the support and advice from ANYONE. Now, helping others, IDK if that could be a non-profit or what that even looks like. With your parents and this community combined, your possibilities are endless. Run with it! 💕

[@wallywoman1950]

No doubt you never imagined the impact your story would have. Kudos to you for taking the leap and may you encourage each of your students to do the same. Well done!

[@tinaspencer900]

Love that hardware! So glad your neighbor liked it too.

[@rebeccaude4412]

You have absolutely set a standard in the ‘flipping' community to set goals for themselves! You are entirely different because instead of continuing to pocket cash so you can stop teaching & flip full time, you’re turning around immediately to help out your fellow peers🤗💜! Bravo to you, Neiman, your parents & your kind neighbor🍾🥂🧋🧉! If only we could convince millions of others to be more like you! 🌟🎊CONGRATULATIONS🎊🌟

[@DSashie]

Awesome❣️ CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 ..very happy for you... and this turned out another beautiful piece. That silk paint was beautiful and so satisfying to watch you paint, it went on so smooth. You are such a great inspiration, to want to help teachers. As a teacher and with a daughter studying her education degree, who like you, is working on paying off her loan so no need to apply for assistance. But so excited for you on your journey to support others. 😊

[@catcar8212]

Heartfelt congratulations to you, Lauren, and to Neiman for your hard work! You have a proud audience here in Connecticut.🌷🌷 I love how you are investing in new tools as you expand your skills. I must add that Neiman's work behind the camera and all the editing work creates such professional content for all of us to enjoy. Well done!! I can't forget to mention the Furniture Flipping Truck!!! Congrats again..🎓🎉🎓🎊

[@cdaprice3416]

Wow!! I’ve been watching your channel for a few months and am always inspired by your projects. My daughter is graduating next month to be a high school history teacher, so she has a lot of debt to pay off. What a blessing this will be to so many throughout the country who will answer the call to educate the youth. On a side note, I just started flipping furniture during COVID and have come to love it. Most of the pieces in my home are pieces that were left in this house by the previous owner that I saw potential in. I don’t have a KZbin channel and have never sold a piece, but I’m almost done with the first thing I’m going to try to make a profit from. Thanks so much for the inspiration and prayers for your continued success. Btw...I literally cried tears of joy at your accomplishing such a huge goal.

[@FullSailEVE]

So glad I found your channel! I’ve been considering flipping furniture for extra money. We are DROWNING in student loans!!! Four total with an estimated total of close to $90,000! 😳 Your videos have convinced me to just jump in and do it! Congrats on paying off your loan!

[@purplewombat1923]

Woohoo! It is incredible how quickly you managed to pay off your student loan debt by flipping furniture, Lauren. Congratulations! I didn't think black was going to do justice to the beautiful detailing on that piece but I was so wrong. It's gorgeous!

[@latoyadavis3312]

Yeeeessssssss!!!!! No limits!! Keep doing what you're doing!! I'm here for it!!🎉🎊🎉🎊

[@courtneytschida5230]

Your neighbor is the cutest! It was so sweet to see how excited he was to be involved!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Yeah! He’s great! 😀🤗

[@andreschezpik]

Well done!!! While other people are trying to get canceled their student loan and forgot their duties she chooses the right way and works harder to pay off her debt!!!
