My husband was married previously. He worked 12 or more hours per day to provide for his wife and two daughters. She spent everything. Fast forward. He and I have been married 21 years. He calls me his Proverbs woman miracle. I'm very frugal. I think more needs to be said about how wives can show their husbands how much they honor and love them by preserving their hard earned money. I've been a Dave Ramsey, Larry Burkett woman my whole life. Both of my children are debt free, hardworking adults. My husband and I are so blessed.

Good for you both! Wow! That's fantastic. You are very blessed. Hope and I realized at the outset of our relationship that handling money properly was of the upmost importance in a marriage. We started by following the advice of Larry Burkett and even visited him at his studios in person while he was still alive. The Bible has all the principles we need to have a good foundation for managing money.

After we spent years paying off a $65K credit card bill, because we didn't want to say no to our kids, we now only pay cash for things. I adopted a 1 week rule, I'd go back after a week and see if I still had to have that item. 27 years later, we still have the first item I applied that rule to, our beautiful kitchen island. Lately, when I'm shopping, I hear Hope's voice saying if it's a great deal, that's what we're eating that week lol. We found some crazy good deals today and that's what we're eating this week! At first I was skeptical, now I'm living it. Thank you both!!!

A frugal person much of my life, I did get into some online jewelry auctions where the bidding frenzy was real and it got expensive and often disappointing when it shipped. Yikes! No more. eBay was another money trap, aside from a few great buys. Life is a journey of learning and it's important to find something to be grateful for each day.

I can add my own '5 cents' to that :) As a frugal person I like to DIY things, especially soaps, cosmetics (like shampoos etc.) and... candles. Let's be honest, candles are a luxury that's not essential (but oh so nice). So to cut the costs of my candle making, I reuse jars and I buy soy wax and other supplies in a huge bulk. But at the end of the day, I pay NOTHING for the supplies. I always let my friends and family know that I'm going to make some candles or soaps or whatever I'm actually making so they can buy some. I price them way lower than the storebought version, of course. So my friends are happy because they have homemade candles and soaps for a fraction of price (and they can ask me to add their favorite scent, for instance) and I usually earn enough (or more!) to cover the costs of making the item in the first place. Such items are also perfect to have around to barter with someone or as gifts.

Roof shopping. It is a strange time, and I suspect if you really need something, now is probably the best time to get it done, if inflation continues as expected. * My roof needs to be replaced due to wear (no leaks!). No one knows anything about how old the roof might be. I was told when I bought the house six years ago that the roof might last 7-9 years, and that it had the low end 3-tab asphalt shingles on it. I've been saving for a new roof for six years. With the storms, high winds, and hail over the past two years, and hearing that asphalt shingles are now in short supply, I decided to get it done, as soon as possible. I sought three bids for roof replacement with Class 4, 30-year shingles. I knew I was probably going to have to wait for shingles to become available. The bids were dramatically different even though the roof is intact, considered easy to roof, and everyone was pricing the same OC Weatherguard HP Gray shingles. All three companies are very reputable and known in the community for decades. The lowest bid came in at $9075; No. 2 was $11500, No. 3 was $12000. All came with the same point-by-point install criteria, a five year work and labor warranty, and would leave shingles behind for future repairs. The low bid company said they believed they could get the shingles in 4-6 weeks. The other two roofing companies said 4-6 months wait time. I have no way of knowing what is really happening, but I do know each of the companies uses the same roofing supply distributor. I don't know why the supply delay time quoted was so different from one company to another. * I finally decided I wasn't afraid to take the low bid with the 4-6 week wait for the shingles. I got a signed contract, put down half to make sure the shingles were ordered this week, and now we wait. I have no idea what shingles will cost in a few months, or what will be available. Sometimes, you have to try to get ahead of a problem. Now, the fat lady has not sung (the job is not done, we are waiting for shingles), but maybe, just maybe, the contract will hold, the price of the shingles will not go up, and the job will be done by the end of April. We shall see.

Love all of these tips, especially the bonus tip! I must give that a try. A game my family played recently and highly recommend is Telestrations. I have never laughed so hard playing a game.

Hi Larry & Hope! Been subscribed a while and rarely miss a video! I've only commented once before, but to sum it up again, my partner and I are both high earners (but I still love and adopt much advice from you guys). Have you guys done a video or would you consider doing one on how you guys "got on the same page" in terms of finances, frugality and achieving shared goals? While we both save and invest faithfully, we could do more if we could align better. While I'm grateful we're high earners, I want to be very high savers and sometimes we don't align on how frugal we should really be because of our income level and current savings and investing.

Love playing rummy. And Monopoly and the board game Clue.

We love Clue! We have a couple of versions of it. Larry usually wins by sheer luck - he just guesses really well, while the rest of us have a "system" for narrowing down the right answer.

If you have seen 'Storage Wars', it is crazy, the auction bids they put in. Sometimes they profit, sometimes they lose money.

Yes. I very nearly bought it. There were so many things that looked interesting in it. My sister bought it. So, she'll tell me what I missed.

Wow, I had no idea there was still the facility to get paid physically by an employer, rather that straight to a bank - I don’t know anyone who can do that, even if they’d like to, because employers only seem to pay through the bank. I’m in the UK so maybe it’s still a choice in the US…wish it was here, I’d love to stop giving banks my money first (and having them make stupid amounts of interest that never gets passed on, in the process!)
