Jen I want to THANK you so much for changing my mindset on spending. I had a huge expense I was not expecting this month and because I've been more contentious with my spending I actually had the money without digging into my property tax fund, like you my husband and I are in massive credit card debt and I want to get us out of it. I've been putting money into sinking funds to pay off that debt and I can't wait until it finally is paid completely off. I'm also working towards saving 1 month ahead for our bills and little by little it will happen. Your videos have helped me so so much
