I quit my job... (a week in my life)

[@elishaf5388]

Girl! You said it so well yourself in this video! It’s about you and what you want to do in your life! I’m proud of you, you’re doing an amazing job! You inspire me with the finance content as I struggle with money so bad, but I really enjoy watching those videos but also your other ones like this! Mabel is so cute! 🥰

[@smileycitrus]

aww thank you so so much 🤍🤍

[@allanahhatcher3325]

I'm so happy for you! You're such a huge inspiration. I'm so excited to see you and your little family on your new journey and all the content that's coming!

[@chrismalone2431]

Ella you’re so amazing and will be brilliant at this full time. Last year I took a voluntary redundancy at my full time job of 25 years… I also work in Customer Service at a few venues and have done so for 11 years now. To be able to pick and choose and do more of what “I WANT TO DO” brings me such joy. Enjoy your new normal gorgeous girl.

this makes me so happy to hear! thank you lovely 🥺🤍

Ella I understand some may feel disappointed if that’s why they watch you. But I want to say I’m always so impressed with the thought that you take in all your decisions we don’t know the full extent of your life and it’s for you and Nick to decide what works for you both. It’s your life and I think if you have the opportunity and can afford the time to try then go for it (I mean you are but you know what I’m saying 😉) I think it’s very brave what you do in sharing your life on line because it does open you up to scrutiny I just hope everyone remembers that for as open as you are we don’t know everything and therefore can’t have an opinion on these big life decisions because we don’t know all the facts. You’re a budget girlie and I know you and Nick would’ve run the numbers had the conversations and made the decisions together. Whether they work out long term (I’m sure it will) doesn’t really matter what matters is the now, your happiness and having a plan for the future but knowing plans can change and being flexible around that. Congratulations beautiful I’m so pleased for you ❤
