I just found your channel. I've binged several videos. I hope all is well and I hope you start creating videos again soon.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

I miss your channel so much. I finally started my TpT account (I sat on the idea for over 5 years) and currently have 16 products listed in my store. I've sold six products in the month that I've been open, but I've done absolutely no marketing whatsoever. My goal is to start marketing before the New Year and putting myself out there more. I hope you are well!

Hi Rachel, I am a teacher as well and have started a business. Would you be available for a chat?

It’s really cool to learn about my family from you, since sadly I was separated from you all for so long. I see we have so much in common that I didn’t realize til now. Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable. I hope to see you posting again soon, if that’s something you want! I hope we can all connect soon. Love you cousin ❤

I love your space! I have a 580 square foot condo and I have the identical kitchen countertop and I love it!

Thank you, this is super helpful!

Great Work

How has the fall semester been going? We are struggling here. Started with 8 IEPs and now we are up to 18. Also a student who speaks no English who just got to the country. I'm exhausted like I was year 1 and this is year 13! Miss the content!

Omg, we don't want to hear about your tvs parking tickets ect., omg, tipacle blonde

This won't happen in Los Angeles 😕 $920/month rent won't even get a studio apartment 😒

She's so pretty, i can't believe that she's pretty much bare faced for the video. I love the collection, thanks for sharing.

Okay, now I'm starting to become worried, Rachel. I understand the need for taking a break, but could you make a post (not even a video) letting us know you're still alive. I really miss your content and pray that all is well with you.

Very humble collection, love it. Thank you for sharing. ☺️

I am passionate about spending money. Recording music (€1500 per song! pay now! gigs ... maybe later); motorcycle deliveries (first, get another motorcycle); writing that script that I thought would be easy (first, ship to my new location all those chronicles where I'm taking the story from - €400 - do all the research properly if you wish to be credible...). Yeah, I'm going broke trying to make money :)

What state do you teach in? Is it an urban or suburban school district?

Thank you!!

Great video! I hope you are doing well, missing seeing new vids from my favorite teacher talking money! :)

Good information thank you. What percentage of your salary goes to the 457b?

I love these episodes. I have listened to many of them several times. Glad to see you've grown to 995 subscribers! Keep going. Very valuable information.

You really described me to a T. Super frugal but no budget. My savings is for emergency home repairs !

omg u also own ladybird now I listened that part of this video lol I use ladybird as well and two more

he fantastic I'm on my minimalist journey and I use also Colourpop Shadow as my daily make up

What about utilities? Was that included in your rent?

I feel like we all stress over market dips, but just remember your market dip today is nothing compared to your market dip of tomorrow. This time it caused your net worth to drop a couple thousand. In a few years when your account has grown a ton itll drop tens of thousands. When you eventually become a millionaire, it may drop 100's of thousands.

Good topics

Great tips Rachel. Setting goals is very important. Another habit I find useful when managing money is creating systems to automate a lot of the work so you don't have to spend energy thinking about it. For example, pay yourself first and invest every paycheque. Or track your spending and dedicate some time at the end of every month to review it with a glass of wine so it's something you look forward to. 😀

I recommend making $ over summer to get your college costs done

Are you jewish?

Vermont is one of the cleanest state in America thanks Bernie Sanders helped clean up the state and they don't gerrymander their state and they have three political parties it's a people state but it's cold in the winter

I hear you. I just started to feel rave enough to check my accounts. I also bought my son a prepaid college tuition for four years using his 529. I had to open a new one for housing, food and fees. So it was hard to see that balance go down because I used the bulk to secure his tuition.

Killing it! Happy to see other young teachers also diving right into investing at an early age :)

Congratulations I hope one day you can reach your goals nice smile by the way

100% Support all these! I love my Ansel Adams planner. If I didn't have it I would be lost! Podcasts 100% agree as well! LIFE LONG LEARNERS UNITE! Great advice!

Love you so much! 🥰

If I wrote a list it would've been the exact same things. V on point.

Milk frother- less than $5 at IKEA!!

Thumbs up for not supporting Amazon! May I ask that you elaborate on your reasoning?

What beautiful is wake up in the morning and see a video with your smile saying hello thanks so much for your vibe it’s the only reason I see your videos

Why no March budget video?

Simply delightful I love your smile to be honest besides your content which is good by the way I love your smile

Btw you are amazing. I hope your parents know how successful you are. You also seem to have wonderful siblings. I wish you all the best.

I am glad your back. I was worried about you too. My husband comes from a family Of seven kids and his arrests had similar issues. To this day he till ha s weird issues about money. Like he is a total hoarder and way over buys food be used she faced food insecurities. It used to drive me crazy. Like 16 boxes of cereal, 8 gallons of olive oil. He would bring home cases of tuna fish and I would donate 10 cans. It really took me years to connect that this has to do with the way he grew up. So now I return a lot, try to organize some of it and generally just try to live with it. I really do not think I will ever get this prepper hoarding out of him but at least I know where it comes from. So I can deal with it in a loving and gentle way versus screaming we can’t eat ten jars of peanut butter.

Excellent video Rachel! I’m proud to be your dad 💛💙

Runescape taught me so much about money LOL. OSRS is now a thing if you have time to dabble in it. I'll bring up some good memories I'm sure lol. Thanks for sharing your story!

I'm sorry, did you say ✨runescape✨??? Thanks for sharing your personal stories, we've got more things in common than I knew 💜

So glad to see that you are back and are healthy (I was starting to worry about you). Thank you for sharing such a personal story and for all of your contributions toward helping people build wealth. I had an auto accident recently and handled it much better than I would have had I not built up 14k in savings and set it aside. You are truly one of the people who helped me get to that point. To be quite honest, I think you were the first! As I was making final payments toward my car loan last year I RUclipsd "55k salary" because I had so much money left over and wasn't sure how to handle my finances. That is what led me to your channel and you have been a gem ever since!

Love that you took the time to make a plant video haha. I'm a newer plant dad (have ~10 in the apartment at the moment). My thing is I've named each one based on their looks and how well they behave. I've got a snake plant also - I call him Dirk because of how steady he is. If only some of the others were a well-behaved haha New sub - loving the cross-section of finance and personal life content.

Fun video! Thanks for sharing :)

I enjoyed seeing what you have :)
