The editing is really distracting....we don't need everything put as text on the screen with a popping sound because we can do youtubes closed captions if text is needed

[@thetotinofamily]

I tend to agree. It’s distracting.

[@dianewilson2330]

Yes

[@hannahwinslow5959]

Agreed

[@yettapm8613]

Agree, so annoying :(

[@anicholeRL9861]

Agreed 😞 And then the ad that came on in the middle was for a game and had lots of the same popping noise.

[@savannabrown4442]

Priya saying "I like spending it if it is your money" is the exact reason why I don't treat shopping with my kids like this. When I was in need of new clothes as a child/teen my mom and I went shopping and together we discussed and worked together to make sure I had the clothes I needed. When I was probably 18 I was going to an exercise class with a friend and she said that she never misses a class because she is paying for it but her parents pay for a gym membership and she never goes because it isn't her money. I was shocked. I felt completely opposite. If my parents paid for something I would make sure not to waste that money out of respect. If I paid for it then it was my choice if I wasted it. I have been married for 11 years and have never once had a disagreement over money. We were both raised by parents who never gave allowances and instead taught us the skills to respectfully discuss with another individual how money should be spent. Learning how to have those conversations with my parents gave me the tools to do it as a married adult. I think our culture's emphasis on using allowances to teach financial intelligence is totally backwards. Open, honest, respectful, and frequent communication works better.

[@KrystalRose85]

Untrue. If you are thrifting for everyday stuff like clothes and shoes, you can find that. It’s not the everyday stuff that the thrift hunters are looking for. They are looking for treasures and relics and things that are worth a lot of money.

I’d love to know how you handle the younger siblings. I have girls that *could* share, but they have totally different styles. We do handme downs, but the younger one would like to choose her clothes like her big sister. We live on a strict clothes budget so that can be tough navigating those feelings.

[@psymompa]

Good Financial Lessons! To this day, i wish my sister had told me no to the Guess jeans i wanted when i was 13. $50 in the 80s was not worth it. Grew out of them in a year. My $100 school budget did not go far that year.

[@beckywtube]

Hi Jordan, I'm watching Roku right now and the show extreme cheapskates came on and there you are a young Jordan page. It's really amazing how long you have been budgeting and saving and being frugal. I have to ask, have you finally let the family members use more than four sheets of toilet paper Per day? It would be kind of cold if you throw it back moment from that time in your life and then where you're at now and how things have changed as you have grown and learned more

[@paulaa.6833]

[@stephj4940]

[@amywoods2375]

I’ve also heard about tax advantages and retirement accounts you can start for your kids if they have a “job”

[@joanstump285]

[@karenhernke281]

I try Plato's closet or thrift stores first, and then we go to stores at the mall.

[@Happyatheart]

Love all that, we also make our kids do their own returns. We found it really helps them learn the value of their oops moments.

[@msmelianne1981]

I will tell you when my girls dad passed away they got Social Security and I did the same concept with them having their own card for what they receive from Social Security as a survivor child death benefit, and a lot of people judged me for it, but I will tell you, I taught my kids how to budget how to manage their money and their credit scores are amazing now and they’re both very fiscally responsible, and are excelling as adults, because I taught them how to manage their money like that. I strongly recommend parents take advantage of this product because it does make a difference with them learning how money works and budgeting. And just to add, I originally did it a to teach them about money and also be because I didn’t want anybody accusing me of spending their survivor benefits on myself so my kids budgeted and spent that money for their needs and I never touched one red cent.

[@mermaid6116]

I cannot believe that's Hutch!

[@trujilloalm]

Size 2P or XSP might fit Priya more comfortably. I was a swimmer/gymnast as a teen so my waist and thigh measurements were the same number and I ended up going into petite sizing by 11y/o.

Editing is horrible. Also $100 isn’t going to do much.

[@allisonmcgriff6844]

​@@youtubeaccso true! I can get my kids entire wardrobe at Savers for about $100.

[@alishab1853]

Yeah but they didn’t go to anywhere cheap. They went to the mall and online shopping. So $100 isn’t going to get much at all and surely not clothes and shoes.

[@katharinedodson9330]

They don't need much.

[@shannonreynolds5084]

I disagree. A 100$ if budgeted right will go far. Depends on where you shop. What you buy. All name brands at some stores will cost more. Others not so much. Editing was distracting tho.

[@blynn2883]

We have Greenlight and it's been such a great experience for me and my two kids. They have learned how to keep up with the cards (a card or two may have been lost in the beginning 😂). They have learned how to not leave them at home (oh, you forgot your card? Well you will have to buy that next time). They have learned how to make payments with card readers, PIN numbers, and Apple Pay. We have never used it at an ATM or usd the investing feature. And now my oldest is 16 and will be transitioning to an actual bank soon, so that's a little less scary (hello, overdraft fees!) now that she has had several years budgeting with the Greenlight card. It's great to see you Vlogging again and to watch your kids participating!

The popping sound with all those pictures and signs are a little annoying. Reducing them up to 5 max for most important moments would be much better. And no popping sound with each image when you showing apps, cards…… this supposed to be a positive feedback not a negative criticism ……. I really love that you included your kids and their suggestions from their experiences to our kids! Thank you!

[@annahofer4929]

Love this!!!!! I literally went clothes shopping with my kids yesterday and thought I need to do something different lol!! I usually do a twice a year shop, but my take always were just a few needed items per season, and having them actually manage their own budget for it. Thank you so much!!!❤

[@tina-8743]

I really dont understand the need to define your daughters body online for strangers. To each their own but I wouldnt focus on the editing, I would focus not trying to be at your kids level ("shoot your shots" towards your son hitting on girls). There's a fine line between being your kids friend as they get older, and still displaying a level of privacy, dignity and modesty. As a muslim, this is a huge part of our religion but I think it should apply to everyone in this day and age with media safety.

[@dearleah7299]

And none of that is your business or your place to control. Focus on your own.

[@HatchlingChibi]

Also petite at 5'0" and have skinny little gymnast legs, I've had best luck with Aerie legging and Levi jeans! Priya might want to try those if you have them near you! (Aerie's 'the hugger' leggings are hands-down the best. I will never buy anything else!) Edit: Also for jeggings Arizona is good but their sizing is kinda odd so you definitely HAVE to try them on, but they're cute if you like jeggings.

[@Quelenebotha]

Ahh yes im so glad you started youtubing again! I was unsure if you were coming back! 😅 maybe if you’re up for it you can do a new day in the life, I bet all the kids are so big, even the little ones!

[@HydrogenTwoO]

One way I've gotten around the small waist problem is buying men's jeans. No one notices, by the way, but it automatically makes things easier because they have the sizes written on them, and men are usually taller, so sometimes that helps also for people who tend to be gymnasts/ballet/etc, not to stereotype. I had no idea why I struggled with clothes until I learned I had a smaller waist and longer legs, but men's jeans help with this because of how they are fitted :) They also tend to be cheaper and higher quality, yet look very similar. If you want them to look more girly, you could put some flowers on them or something.

But also to add if he wanted the shorts then allow him that opportunity to spend on them. It’s not like he will buy expensive items all the time but if you keep correcting him in what something costs he will grow up thinking he can’t buy something he actually wants and will be a little more than usual. Yes explain to him but also allow him the place to just buy what you want. My kids know how to shop thrift and also buy what they want.
