Merry Christmas Ali and luna 🎄🎅 Good luck with the Channel going foward into 2025 👍love your channel and always look foward to receiving my notifications on your latest videos. All this seems like a great idea all the best for the future on the Channel and once again Merry Christmas to you and Luna enjoy the day xx😊

I think this is a great idea! You’re still effectively giving half your earnings ! Not many people would do that! Have a great time over Christmas with Luna and your family! X

That sounds like a great plan. Merry Christmas to you and Luna and a very happy new year.

Merry Christmas to you and Luna. 🎄🎊🕯️

Very generous of you, as i suspect there is quite a lot of work to produce your content, you should pay yourself a wage ! Now we all have to make an effort to watch at least some of the adverts, as i believe that increases income for you and your good causes. Happy Christmas :)

I have found your channel very addiictive! I too am on my own &have found some of your foodie tips great! Merry Christmas 🌲

It's an ideal situation for you to earn some money from your channel. Good luck going forward.

Well done, you deserve to have an income from RUclips, we've got some savings which we put in to premium bonds because you never know, and im sure local charities will be very grateful for any donations.

Thanks Ali. It sounds eminently sensible to set aside gross income for tax, payment for creating the content, money to upgrade equipment, and to charity.

Good on you for rewarding the hard work you put in to this channel. Happy Christmas to you and Luna! x

And a very Merry Christmas to you too! May 2025 turn out exactly as you wish it to! My late husband always said: Prepare well, fight easy. You are preparing/planning well which makes the daily fight easier. Blessings to you!

I am looking forward to your content in the New Year. Particularly the gardening part as I am hoping to find the energy to get more produce from my small courtyard garden next year. Happy Christmas to, yours and the gorgeous Luna

Happy Christmas to you, Luna and your family. I love your channel and your videos. I’m so grateful I found you. I had a very difficult year with many serious health issues that required 2 surgeries this year, 4 so far, and another 5 to come in the new year.. I lost a lot of income because my company doesn’t pay sick leave but I don’t want to give up my profession which I love and worked super hard to get.. I have really appreciated all your tips and advice and the way you explain things clearly but without being condescending or patronising. And your voice, accent and personality are so soothing that you often make me feel less anxious and alone and relaxed so I re watch your videos just for that .. 🙏💓

Hi Ali, good for you, you can definitely call yourself a youtuber!! You have some great ideas for bonus videos. I think you also mentioned one time that you might try and interview someone from one of the charities, that would be interesting. Your plan makes complete sense, congratulations for getting to this point, and so quickly too. I'm glad that you are enjoying yourself - it sure seems like you are! Have a very Happy Christmas!

Merry Christmas Ali and Luna from Lynda in New Zealand. Christmas Day tomorrow, my wish is to be with family. Came out of hospital yesterday, went for a blood test today and my stupid body played up so had to have an ambulance to check me out. Ali I have plans for 2025 if my body cooperates and have vague plans for utube but need to investigate how it is done. Did you find it very hard to learn. I wish you all a very merry Christmas from sunny New Zealand. Xx😘

Merry Christmas to you and Luna from a very hot 44 degee day in Australia.

Good for you ,you work hard and your charities will still benefit .Wise move to get your taxes under control.Merry Christmas!

Hi Ali, congratulations on your channel success. You are absolutely right to keep a portion for yourself. I sometimes think could I live on what you do, but I am still running a family home with hungry tummies, so not possible to scale back so far. That said, your approach to mindful budgeting and great tips definitely inspire. Wishing you and Luna a very merry Christmas! 🎄

Good plan Ali. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Merry Christmas Ali. Wishing you all the best for 2025. I really enjoy your honest, down to earth and sensible approach 🎄🙂

Ali happy Christmas to you & Luna 🎅 Ali I believe in 2025 you deserve income from making the videos. You are being very generous with the money you have received already. Happy Christmas 🎄

I am glad to hear you are allowing yourself some wages, you deserve it xx

I find you so caring and generous. I find your life style very inspiring I’ve been retired for ten years and am disabled with mental illness and arthritis through out my body.i am grateful to have personal independence payment monthly so can manage my expenses with taxis to doctors appointments as I can’t drive now. I have Tesco delivery service weekly but I am learning from your frugal lifestyle I can manage my finances better .i hope you have a wonderful start to the new year. I love your channel I’m so glad you have an income from it take care dear friend ❤🎉

Happy Christmas to you and Luna. Plans for 2025 sound exciting and look forward to FoodyFriday and beyond xx

Don't forget about saving for National Insurance.

I tell you Ali, your Lidl is far more generous with their £1.50 than our local one. We get mostly Bananas, peppers, tonatoes and onions, sometimes a single apple and easy peelers . Count yourself lucky with that lovely variety.

Totally agree with your decision.

Sounds like a sound plan😂❤

Merry Christmas Ali.

Merry Christmas.

Just watched this video a month after you posted it. Wondering if another year you might be better having a no spend month in a different month to December next year? I say this because for people living well on less can benefit so much from the deals in December as supermarkets compete with each other in the run up to Christmas. Lots of staple groceries often half the usual price and loads of veg at a fraction of the usual price. It just makes sense to make the most of December prices.

Thank you for the great videos. Have a great Christmas 🎄

I think it’s a great plan for 2025. Love watching your videos and pleased we may get a bonus video every now and again now too!

I’ve watched your vlogs for some months and I think your decision is a good one and very fair eg 20% tax, piggy bank and a donation. I worry these days that the bigger charities lose donations in admin fees and overheads including staff and marketing which means I look for the smaller charities where donations are actually spent on the cause which from what I recall yours is. Health and happiness for the coming year and I’ll look forward to your weekly blogs and thankyou 😘

You work hard for this money. Glad you are keeping some for yourself.

Well done and Happy Xmas!

Fellow scot here just starting on you tube ❤ looking forward to hearing more ! 🎁 Merry xmas

That sounds an excellent plan, it’s good to know you will have a bit more behind you. I love your videos, you inspire me to waste less and try cooking a bit more. I’ve got into the habit now of watching your ads, great to know that in a small way it helps your chosen charities. Wishing you, Miss Luna and your family a happy Christmas 🎄

Have a lovely Christmas 🎉 ali and new year to you and luna ❤

Hello again Ali ☺. As I've mentioned before, I lost my husband Terry last December and I'm struggling again this year, as are many others that will be alone. Although I have my two Kits 🐱🐈🐾. Our fur babies are so much comfort to us aren't they. The shops are temples of consumerism right now and full to the gunnels with food that will most probably get wasted! It's crazy mad out there 😨. Anyways Ali, stay warm and cosy and I will see you at the other side of what they are calling Christmas. Love & Solstice blessings to you and your girl 🐶 xx

I eat cold roast potatoes too! Everyone thinks I am mad! 😂( that’s ok.. more for me!)

Well done Ali, all the very best for Christmas and 2025. Planning is always the best policy. Im sure your channel will continue to grow. I'll keep plugging away at my channel in the hope it grows, as i really love how it's focusing me and i love learning how to edit. Keeping the brain functioning is brilliant.

Your honesty is refreshing. Loved hearing about your plans!

Yes Ali!! A very good plan and well deserved to pay yourself from next year! 👏👏 You are a breath of fresh air on here, never coming across as preachy or judgy as some channels do, and you share alot of sensible, helpful ideas with all of us. To be able to garnish a wage for your own efforts is great, and it IS a part time job! So pleased for you Ali, its good news that we can all share in and be glad to help boost the channel. Merry Christmas to you and to everyone on here. 🕊🎄

What a great plan! You are very generous!! Best wishes and happy holidays!

Merry Christmas Ali, I hope that you have a lovely time with your family. I love your channel and look forward to your content every week. Very pleased you'll be posting extra videos in 2025. I think some gardening content would be great. I would love some advice on growing your own food in a small garden. I also think paying yourself some of your RUclips earnings is a great idea. Merry Christmas 🎄

If you donate money to registered charity you should get receipt and can get tax break so you would not pay tax from money donated.

Congratulations, what an amazing achievement! I need to take a leaf out of your books and plan better for 2025 😀

Great video and very well explained . Happy Christmas to yourself and Miss Luna.
