Heeeeeyyyyyy,
It's Mech and welcome to my channel Being_Mech, on this channel I discuss my faith, fitness, and financial journeys. I have been immersed in fitness for years as an enthusiast and as a former collegiate athlete. In regards to finances, I became serious about budgeting, paying off debt, investing, retirement savings, and living a meaningful life without invoking negative financial practices back in 2017. When it comes to my faith, I am just trying to build a strong relationship with GOD. While I am not a fitness trainer, bible scholar, or financial advisor, I know that my story adds value to others.

I have not been consistently tithing my 10 percent; however, I am feeli...

👏🏾
I'm glad it's only 10 days 😊
This Financial Fast has been going by so fast to me.... Just a few more days left !!
My sinking funds are in a HYSA, my monthly expenses account is in a brokerage account.
I haven't come across anyone who has their monthly expenses in a brokerage account. How did this come about ?
I'm working on my emergency fund and putting funds in their each pay and not taking money out until I at least have $1,000.
I want to commend you on taking the steps to start your emergency fund. While I know 1,000 will not solve every problem it gives a peace of mind knowing you have something.
Thank you
If you are investing in the stock market, what is your best performing stock ?
Hey lady ..😊I just started reading your book and I am taking serious notes too.
I think this book has so many great talking points related to finances and I love the biblical component. It’s something that I will periodically pick up throughout the year even when I am not on a financial fast. I am glad you are getting value from it.
Are you contributing regularly to your savings ?
Yes, every two weeks. I’ve been able to save three months of living expenses and several sinking funds.
@@so.many.obstacles Congrats !!! That is such a huge accomplishment. Is your goal to get to 6 months of living expenses ?
I need to get back to fasting. I have lost my discipline and I need to get it back ASAP!
I have only completed financial fasts; however, I plan on completing my first 3 day fast in the near future here. Do you have any tips ?
@ I normally do different fasting throughout the year. Social media fasting, fasting from things I typically consume or most importantly when I just need to to hear something from God. The tip I can give is when you are wanting to do the things you are fasting from dig deeper into prayer and your word, it truly helps.
Oh where you the calendar????
I got it from Burlington a few years ago.
Thank you. I needed these reminders. I probably need to listen to this weekly or daily!
You are welcome and thank you for taking time out of your day to day to watch my video. I am glad to hear that is brought some value to you and I hope you enjoy all 21 days just am much !!!
Are you trusting God with your finances right now ?
My Lord this was for me! I’m starting tomorrow
Yes !!!!! Congratulations on taking a chance and deciding to complete a Financial Fast. If you look on Amazon it will give you a preview of the first 28 pages. A few years ago when I came across this book I was definitely like this book is for me and each year I continue to participate in the fast because it brings that much value to my life. I hope that you will comment throughout the days so I know how everything is going !
What did you enjoy about the fast today ?
What are your thoughts about the fast now that you have completed Day 1 ?
mam, I cant splurge and fast. Very informative video though 😃👏
Thank you for watching the video and commenting.
Upon Waking ( Devotional) - Jackie Hill Perry 100 Days of Believing Bigger (Devotional Journal) - Marshawn Evans Daniels I Will Teach You To Be Rich - Ramit Sethi Power Moves - Sarah Jakes Roberts Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It - Kamal Ravikant No Excuses - Brian Tracy Very good reads 👏
I usually don't read multiple books at a time but because they are all about different things I think it will be okay. I just started 100 days of believing better and I am enjoying how simple/direct the daily devotionals are.
1. Face my financial demons head on and destroy the pattern of debt. 2. Avoid over committing myself financially especially when it comes to extended family expenses…simply put…to learn to say no and stay focused on my own personal financial goals…and not attaching any guilt for saying no. 3. Grow a wealth mentality. Seek wisdom from God on managing finances and creating generational wealth. 4. Learn to splurge on myself a little more😅😊
Great job on having a few intentions set before starting the fast. Your number two and number three are things that I tend to work on year round. I look forward to checking back in on you once the fast is over to see how much progress was made in each of these areas.
What is something that you hope to accomplish by completing this financial fast ?
Thank you for inspiring me to join the fast…count me in❤ just came across your channel today for the first time. This is really an answered prayer 🙏 Thank you thank you thank you 😊
I want to Thank You for deciding to participate. Before putting this video out I prayed that GOD would allow it to been seen by the individuals who it would bring value to, so thank you for confirming that my prayer was also answered.
I want to try it with you ❤
Yes !!!!! When I tell you that this 21 Day Financial Fast will be so worth it I truly mean that. I haven't gotten to the point where I am able to implement everything that is discussed but it imparts new knowledge or a different way to approach money matters.
I am and I'm gonna do my best at commit to it. Are you physically fasting from food, media, etc...?
I glad to hear you will be participating and typically I only follow the rules for the financial fast but now that you mention other things I am going to consider incorporating something else with it.
Will you be participating in the financial fast from November 1, 2024 - November 21, 2024 ?
Im going to try🙏
@@MsJuicyGirl81 I really hope that you will be able to but if not the videos will be there for you to revisit at any time. It is a good experience and it allows you to think about various aspects of money. I am really big on exposing myself to new things in order to grow. Thanks for commenting !!!
I'll join you. Thank you for this❤
@@1voiceCriesOut wow thank you so much for joining me. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to ask others to do it with me but I am glad I did.
What is one goal that you would like to accomplish by the end of Quarter 4 ?
Are you currently working on improving some aspect of your life ?
Thank you so much… I’m taking notes 📝
While the advice may seem so straight forward, the things I mentioned have truly worked for me when I applied them on a consistent basis. It does take a little extra work at the start, but once you get in a routine it will all flow so easily until your goal is completed.
👏👏👏
Thanks for watching and commenting !
The kayak story is hilarious 😂
I feel like I can only do it partial justice without footage….. I equate it to a kayak version of Tiny and Shekinah on the bike …. If you haven’t seen it type it in to google 🤣 !!!
👏
I am just out here trying to get it together 😆
“They charge a resort fee, even though this is not a resort” 😂😂
I looked up the word resort and technically any hotel falls under the meanings…BUT … I think of Jamaica/Bahamas ~ How Stella Got Her Groove Back when I hear the word resort 🤣 !!!
Should’ve kept that Kmart fit 😊
I will have to find a better replacement.. lol
I’m waiting for Biden to forgive my student loan debt , otherwise they ain’t getting paid 😂 they should’ve made better decisions ..lending 30k to an 18 year old with no job sounds crazy🤷🏽♀️
I had to give up on that a long time ago … lol … Best case scenario would be them returning my money at the end of the year 😂🤣. I do agree that it’s crazy the amount of money they will lend young adults but wouldn’t give them that amount of money in any other scenario.. Smh 🤦🏾♀️…. This SAVE plan reduces your monthly loan payment but extends the life of the loan so you will pay even more in the end 😳…. I am hoping Biden comes through for you 🫣.
Love, love, love the video!!! Wishing you a prosperous year and you receive everything on ur vision board!! 5:30 I just adore 😊❤😂
Thank you so much and I wish you the same. I figured the video would not be complete if I did not put in the last clip . hahah
@@being_mech5615 I agree 🤣🤣
Happy New Year 🎉❤
Happy New Year!! I hope you have a great year.
“A large for who ? The elves”🤣😂
I am not that tall to where the pants should be flooding like that … lol …. That fact that I showed up like that is funny as well … 😂
Congrats to ur increase in subs! 🎉❤ Hi, new subbies! U made the right decision 👏🏼 ❤😊. Great video! Love how God has been able to combine ur two focuses in life into one keeping u in the direction you want to go!
Thank you so much, it has taken longer than expected but I am not any less happier about the progress. I appreciate you for watching my videos and commenting when you can !!! I am working on a few cool things so be on the look out for my content in the near future.
We don’t wanna see your drawls lol 😂jk . Cool video
I had to go watch and be like I know I wasn’t zooming in on those … lol
@@being_mech5615 😂🤣
New Subscriber here. Just found your channel. It's great to be here supporting another budgeter! Will be following your journey, great video.
Thank you so much for subscribing !!!! I am pleased to meet another budgeter and I wish you well along your own journey. The more I stick to my own plans and reach new levels the more I cherish the opportunities that I have had and knowledge I gain by consistently budgeting.
Awesome Mech!!
Thanks! 😁
So true I like to enjoy the journey of being patient because like you say that is how you find the comfort of how it was brought to you. So no need to rush because it is there.
I am glad that I am learning how important this aspect of waiting is in general. If we wait patiently we get to enjoy the journey and the blessing versus only the blessing if we are overly focused on that receiving of the blessing.
Good for you. It'll change your life for the good. 🙏
Stay encouraged in the Lord.
Great video is so true about staying true to habits keeping track of old and regaining new habits going a little off track and staying focused is the goal to make your life easy.
Absolutely, it took me some years but I can finally comprehend how establishing good habits in various areas of your life makes it so much easier. It is not always easy to get started but it is definitely worth it. The tricky part is finding habits that serve you and doing them in a way that serves you. Some of us forego good habits that serve us because we didn't find the best way to implement them into our current life situation. Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment!
Love the background looks very peaceful! Excited for the ur new lives every Sunday definitely tuning in!! ❤😊
Thank you so much and it was very peaceful. That candle I had made the experience that much better. I look forward to seeing you online on Sunday. This is something new for me but I think I will enjoy it !!
like it!incredible ~catch you later~👌
Thanks, I will be going back in the future to do a bit more exploring. I would say it is for those that want to get away from the super tourist-like places.
Every little bit more than the minimum payments counts toward student loan payments. I've been saving up my student loans in a high yield savings account just waiting for my first payment to kick in. I took this route because the way inflation has been, it really got me worried about job loss. I am following the Dave Ramsey approach, but also taking advantage of the pause to save up for at least three months of emergency. By October I hope to hit both goals of paying off loans and having an emergency fund in place.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤
Congrats on establishing an emergency fund !!! It truly does give you a peace of mind while paying off debt and building your financial portfolio. I think people underestimate how quickly additional payments will help you pay off a loan if you are contributing an extra 50-150 dollars a month.
Thank you. The struggle has been prominent, putting me in a direction to do better financially, although I tried my best to enjoy myself along the way. I look forward to seeing more videos from you.
you can do it :)
Likewise‼️
One year later and I am still on the road to becoming a millionaire !!! Slow progress but it is still some form of progress.
👏
The real growth is working through setbacks because it truly shows what progress has been made when it comes to managing my finances.
Good tips though ima start these accountability meetings!
Let me know how they go for you ?
Looks delicious
Thank you 😋
