I'm living paycheck to paycheck too. Put bubble wrap on your windows. Makes a big difference for keeping your place warm. Saves me money on my electric bill. I unplug all the appliances I don't use. Helps me save more money for grocery shopping.
I will try to be nice because I don't like to be mean and you mentioned it several times. It's almost like you do and say things on purpose or you know what you are doing doesn't make sense. Maybe it's to attract comments...I don't know. But if I was poor, I would not spend my last 14.00 on a small can of chips and coke and hair scrungees. I would eat jelly and toast or peanut butter and toast. To make more meals, I would have bought tortillas and a can of refried beans.You said you had beans at home. Smash them! I am not poor but I drink water every day and only water. Since you were wanting a sweet pastry, I thought for sure you would just buy a danish or small thing of donuts or something but you didn't even do that. Dollar tree has a wall full of sweets ...you could have picked one out for 1.25. If I didn't eat a pb & j sandwich or fix cinnamon toast or something at home (you could have bought a loaf of bread for 1.25), then I would have bought one sweet treat and left that 12.75 alone. Then I would have gone to the food bank at the next available time. And whats with amen after every sentence. Maybe I'm missing something. I wish you luck out of poverty. I would say the smartest thing you did was sit in the sun and not turn on your heat. That is a way to save money!
if you are at your last $14 why would you spend it on soda, nail polish remover etc. shouldn't it be towards food to make it stretch till your husband gets paid.
I don’t understand it either. It never hurts to have an occasional soda, but they should be a treat, not a habit. The first thing a person needs to learn is the difference between wants and needs.
Food gas..sje has an ulta card sje is paying for with money people send her to help.. get out of debt..they only have credit card debt and cell bills...bit to see and ulta credit card bill..that's not a necessity esp when ypu don't hep pay rent pr utilities to help..waart dupes are what I get when I need make up.and if I buy something from ulta ots reasonable with cash..but everydime is budgeted and I pay all my bills rent etc..and she says we all work .ypur hubby don't quit be honest..you were on benefits..Icredit cards can be a tool but mare not a good thing for people who biy games etc furniture nope...think people are being scammed..
Its what I thoight. I dont buy those things anymore, got my husband and daughter to financially care for so those days are over. We are now the working poor 😅
This is exactly why we all said that using your money to buy soda, snacks and eating out fast food is probably not the best decision. Nobody is saying it because they want to be mean or say that you should never have treats or deprive yourself.But if you had all the money that you blew on all that stuff a few weeks ago, you could have paid for more heat and more food shopping for your entire family. Depriving yourself would be not to eat at all; not to drink anything but water; Im sorry, but not drinking Starbucks or not eating at McDonalds is not depriving yourself. I havent spent money on any of those things, including Starbucks, in years because its simply a waste of money. I have to budget my money and those things are usually not included in my budget. But I certainly dont feel deprived. lol Do you budget your money monthly to determine if you can afford all of those things BEFORE you buy it or do you just say "I deserve the treat, so Im buying it even though I dont have the money to pay for it this month" ? I feel like you need education and knowledge in budgeting. It would really help you so that you can have a treat once in the while once you save a few bucks for it. Credit cards are the devil in disguise. They rob your future self of "needs" to pay for your current selfish selfs "wants". Get them paid off, budget your money/income. Pay cash only. My Dad always said if you cant afford to pay cash today for what you want, you can afford to buy it today.
I just spent my last 80 on my son's field trip so I know how it is. Im a single parent, living in government housing, have a job and it's still hard so hard. We are broke until next month. Pay check to pay check as well. at least you have a husband and folks in the home to help you hun I don't even have that. It's just me and my boys..prayers sent your way. Edit- one of my sons father has passed away and the other is just a dead beat. You're not alone in this world. We all have issues my love. Much love to you and your family. I saved 3 weeks for so I could do this for him. Just so we're clear.
@@Peace-nm6bx cause I don't want him to miss out. I want his childhood to be the best that it can be. I want him to be a part of his class. My light bill is paid, my rent is paid, insurance on my car is paid, they have clothes on their back and a full meal everyday so and so forth. So I think it'll be ok. Like I said I work to make ends meet. I'm not on here complaining I'm just on here explaining that we all have it hard trying to make the best of life. I saved for three weeks so he could go. It's not everyday that my children get to enjoy things like this.
I have watched you now from the beginning. I’m confused by a lot of what is happening. But I feel like your channel has changed. You started this channel for an outlet for depression and loneliness to a low income poor me channel. I used to enjoy your videos now they make me question a lot of things. You complain about being poor but do nothing to fix it. You just said in your video that everyone in your home works and you have mentioned multiple times that your children live with you. Then you said to someone that they don’t know your circumstances but your the one that shared it. So what is the truth. I have no doubt that you love Jesus Christ and are a Christian but in your comments to others who are asking questions you don’t like you do not have a very Christian response. I know you will not care but this is the last video that I will watch and this comment will be the last one that you get to promote your channel moving forward from me. I pray that your circumstances will change but they will not change with your attitude.
The electric blanket is a lifesaver for me right now. They are awesome and don’t use too much electricity. Same here living paycheck to paycheck. It’s tough but God got us& is always so Good. ❤❤❤
I agree how hard it is these days due to the prices so high. I am so lucky to have paid my house off. I still have to budget for Property taxes and Ins. But saved me due to my low Social Security Benefit. Stinx after working so many years. I pray for you and love your family. You are blessed with a special husband. You make it due to your ways to budget, and yes God is with you. Sometimes getting a job is more expensive than staying home. It gives you time to budget and cook cheaper.
You are such a lovely lady, so happy I found your channel! The struggle is real, thank you for sharing your journey. Blessing from beautiful British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦
Rice and beans are a complete protein and delicious! Add some homemade tortillas and make some sweet tea at home. We cannot be poor while being blessed by God. Count your many blessings and call it all joy 😊
I lived in that town for many years. My husband's family still lives there. My parents moved out of that town, but they still live nearby. Keep trusting God. He knows what we need before we even ask Him. God bless you and your family!
I live in California also. I know I don't know all your business and that's fine, but I don't understand how you can have five adults living in a studio apartment and all of them working paying their own way and still not be able to make it.
@@MyHumbleHome maybe you need to give an update as to your home situation so people understand more clearly. I watch your videos pretty regular and from my understanding you had three adult children living there and your husband and yourself.. if that is not the case anymore maybe clarify.
@@joanntorres7630she did say not everything is our business. You have no clue as to why she doesn’t have a job outside her home. If it bothers you or you want to insinuate just to be mean then don’t watch her videos.
That's not nice to say I've never heard this lady begging and by the way everyone one is going through something right now kudos to you it is all good with you
She said everyone in the household has a job, and contributes. I'm sure she would have never thought about anyone getting a job until you suggested it. She's doing the best she can.
Esmeralda when you buy a washer keep in mind that some washer have codes to make them work & some washer do not have a center agitator. I have a Speed Queen washer it belonged to my mother & it’s been working very well for many years the inside has the center agitator& stainless steel inside tub and the knobs are manual you turn the dial by hand no push button . If it would ever stop working I would buy the same brand Speed Queen.. One more thing some of those washer only use the minimum water that the clothing need they have sensors.
I look forward to your videos. I love that you share the word and edify! You are truly an inspiration, and I appreciate you sharing your life. Father, in the name of Jesus, I plead Your precious blood over Your beautiful daughter and her family. I ask that You would pour out Your blessings on her. We give You all glory and praise!
My Dad and I are both disabled and my Dad is elderly. Living on a fixed income is difficult, especially with groceries and heat being so high. But God loads Us 💖 up with Blessings and He Always sees Us 💖 through.❤ I've Never bought myself 1 Starbucks at that restaurant and we don't eat out. It takes all our finances, but we make it. With God's help
I enjoy your videos my sister through Christ. I’ve had some difficult times but was blessed with listening to your scriptures and prayers you shared. Have a wonderful day and may your blessings be abundant ❤️
Please stay warm it is brutal out here. Im in Virginia it's 6 pm and blistering cold. God bless you and watching your videos really makes my day. You are such a blessing to me and I'm so blessed to have found your channel.
Im so sorry this is a rough time for you my sister in Christ. California is so expensive, I could never afford to move back there. I moved out in the 90's. It's gotten so crazy there. Have you all considered moving out of California to some place less expensive?
@@JD-tn5tb ~Because she wants people to send her money-YT isn’t a real job-My Dil’s mom and dad work 50/60 hrs a week both are Mexican, both are in their mid 50’s-have worked like this since coming into our country 34 yrs ago-Esmeralda is not very old, sounds like she never worked-No one should be helping people like this woman that chooses not to work a real job-thinks staying home and making meals is ten only job she should have while taking advantage of the food pantries- 4-adults in 1-small home that sounds like there is no rent payment should be struggling..abled bodies people that sit and beg and don’t try to work aren’t Christians they are fakes aka frauds.
You are doing great, friend, keep going and keep finding your enjoyment--it really is the little things in life! Your videos are awesome and inspiring, nevermind any judgemental words of others. It's just noise and bound to happen to any content creator. So really it is just a sign that you're doing very well on RUclips haha :) So happy for you and your family to get your own washer soon
I hate how much more gas & electric are during the winter. We just got our electric bill & it is 137$ more than our last bill for two months. Insane. Apparently they were getting some government funding and the government cut their funding for the electricity income savings program, so loads of people’s bills increases 4% without even being informed we would experience the increase. I am going to be so much more aware of our usage now that I know 😅
Living in Ontario is really expensive too. Apparently we are the second most expensive province in Canada, living is not cheap these days anywhere it seems, but some places are super expensive and I have always heard California is pricey!
@@MyHumbleHomeSis, I recently tried the strawberry oat matcha from SB, it was amazingggg!!! I drank it in like 3 minutes. 😂 I totally wish I had 7$ right now I would love a SB drink, I do not believe in not spending on little things. To me it is self care to treat ourselves once in a while.
i bought a mobile home 3 years ago now and we have no central heat here ! i bought my kids and i weighted blankets to keep warm ! keeps us warm and my bill is maybe like 14 dollars ! for gas ! i go to the food banks ! and since lots of people stamps are getting cut im in good company ! the line is way long ! i have to say that we eat a lot at home ! bills first the maybe a treat ! going out to eat is now a luxury for lots of people ! i write down what i spend and how much ! and buy what i need ! the 14 dollars that you mentioned i would spent to fill up my water bottles and food from the dollar tree maybe ! no frivolous spending ! that is me though !
your a good person with a good heart ! but we all dont have income like this ! im saying disposable income ! to go out on a whim you live pay check to paycheck right ! that is not dispoable income ! that is hey i have to make this last ! i pay my bills then have to pay others towards the end of the month i have to live with in my means here ! i belive that is what people are saying here ! i live in riverside county calif and i know things are expensive here trust me going to the store is a panic attack for me !gas oil changes for my car ! like i said going out to eat and buying starbucks is now a luxury for lots of people now ! in survival mode here !
Good morning friend, yes there are many brackets of poverty. My son and I and our cats live in our car, he works and I receive SS, but we cannot afford housing. The struggle is real but we have been so blessed and you bless me every time I watch your beautiful vlogs ❤ thank you so much. Have a blessed day sweetheart
It’s been tough for me too with making money. I work for DoorDash and make RUclips videos but that’s still not enough. Some people are so mean in the comments and think they have the perfect solution for your life. And if you don’t take their advice as soon as they post the comment… they act like we’re fools (to put it in nice words) or that what post and share our lives for attention. 🤦🏻♀️ (to me the trolls are just projecting their insecurities and issues). They won’t stop me from sharing in my videos because I know most people have appreciation for the content I share and it helps them in a way too. Praise God.
I'm from Southern California and I know it's super expensive. I moved back to AZ because we we're struggling financially. Praying for you and your family to have all your needs provided in Jesus's name Amen 🙏 you're so humble and I ❤ your content 🤗🌻
It's said with trump coming in his Tarriffs are gonna be devastating on the consumers Tax will double along with inflation. and it's rumored he's taking food stamps away too . Pray for the Families . I don't want to talk about politics. But since it's a low income Channel that I enjoy watching You Esmeralda. I just wanted to share Dios te bendiga 😇 🙏
Just trying to get a donation..it would make heat higher pr electricity..which she nor hubby pays rent or electricity..she was getting food card..Bills are credit cards
I am also low income and always wanted to start my channel to earn some money but I see that you started your channel 5 years ago and your subject still the same?🤔🤔 RUclips is not paying you after 5 years? What is the sense of your channel then?🙄🙄
Sorry, the weather is bad here in Oklahoma, people should not tell someone to get a job. I used to work outside the home,I do not any more. I am not disabled enough to get disability,I work a lot at home. We do what we can. God is our help.
I am disabled and live pay check to pay checks myself i am divorced and have no children or husband or pets iam on section eight housing and ssi i am not able to work because of an old lower back injury myself when I was much younger than I am now or else I would be working in constant pain all of the time my injury isn't fixable either
With trumps upcoming Tarriffs and and inflation yes we will all be effected California is already expensive to live in it's only going to get more expensive.
Hi God Bless you 🙏❤ there is nothing wrong with buying nail polish, lipstick or anything to feel pretty. I have chronic arthritis also people don't understand arthritis is difficult it affects differently everyday different areas of the body. I understand because I cannot work. You sre blessed by God not people's opinions.
Hugs to you. This may help you to quit pop, compliments brand, which is sobeys, sells cases of cannes sparkling water in pop flavors, gingerale, 7up, cream soda rootbeer, etc. No fake sugars, no sugar at all, and you get that carbonated fizz, it's delicious and now I no longer like pop ❤❤
Que mentalidad. 🫠 soy cristiana pero no me gusta llamarme pobre. Vine por un video que me salio pero al ver este it not make sense. Pudiendo hacer una hoya de arroz y frijoles malgasta el dinero en junk food. Naaaaaa no subscribe 👎 si vas a hacer un canal que sea de Bendición para otros.
Our food pantry gives a lot of sweets too in addition to other good stuff I don't go often but out of curiosity can you and your get food stamps if you're low income ? If you cook your meals separately from your kids they might be able to get their own as well
What is money for if not new boots, soda and cheetohs? 😂 At the end of the day, we all spend money. As long as her family is taken care of, and bills are paid, she can buy whatever she wants to. How about as woman we straighten one another’s crowns instead?
I have 4 and don't get paid til Friday...I light candles to help keep my modest apartment warmer..Lots of people.are struggling and I pa my own rent and bills..Ypu don't even pay .utilities or rent...so don't try to say the bills are expensive fpr electricity heat when ypu have not been contributing and have been living with in law for years...all ypu are paying os ypur credit cards bills and dental care..never have I seen ypu budget formypur part of anything..Lots of folks are worse off and cpuld use the money people are sending you..ypur partner needs a job no excuses..Npt trying to be mean life os hard and expensive even with basic needs..wjat will ypu do if ypur in laws pass...Or go in a home etc..
You have her confused with another channel. I think you’re thinking she’s the young lady that lives with her in laws and pays no rent and people are sending her money left and right.
Hola 😊 I put some plastic on my windows 🪟 to help with draft especially since we’ve been having single digit weather. I’ve never had a credit card because I didn’t want to pay interest 😅 but I try to live frugal now that I’m older. Everyone does it differently but I like to grow my own garden, resell and I love thrifting 😊 I stopped going to goodwill like 2 years ago because their prices are crazy and everything there is donated. And I would always round up my total and donate my change. But one day a worker said what’s .50 cents and I told her well nobody donates to me and I stopped going 😂 But I go to my local thrift store and they rotate color tags 🏷️ weekly and whatever color is 80% off will be .25 cents on Saturdays to get clothes sold and bring more in. I’m praying everything works out for you 🙏🏽
I'm living paycheck to paycheck too.
Put bubble wrap on your windows. Makes a big difference for keeping your place warm. Saves me money on my electric bill. I unplug all the appliances I don't use. Helps me save more money for grocery shopping.

Yes. everyone has struggles of some sort. Hope your week goes well
U go go star bucks, then u r not low income. Also paint ur nails, that cost money. I have never been to star bucks and had my nails done.

@@JD-tn5tb ~Because she wants people to send her money-YT isn’t a real job-My Dil’s mom and dad work 50/60 hrs a week both are Mexican, both are in their mid 50’s-have worked like this since coming into our country 34 yrs ago-Esmeralda is not very old, sounds like she never worked-No one should be helping people like this woman that chooses not to work a real job-thinks staying home and making meals is ten only job she should have while taking advantage of the food pantries- 4-adults in 1-small home that sounds like there is no rent payment should be struggling..abled bodies people that sit and beg and don’t try to work aren’t Christians they are fakes aka frauds.
That’s meant to say shouldn’t be struggling
You are doing great, friend, keep going and keep finding your enjoyment--it really is the little things in life! Your videos are awesome and inspiring, nevermind any judgemental words of others. It's just noise and bound to happen to any content creator. So really it is just a sign that you're doing very well on RUclips haha :) So happy for you and your family to get your own washer soon
I hate how much more gas & electric are during the winter. We just got our electric bill & it is 137$ more than our last bill for two months. Insane. Apparently they were getting some government funding and the government cut their funding for the electricity income savings program, so loads of people’s bills increases 4% without even being informed we would experience the increase. I am going to be so much more aware of our usage now that I know 😅
Living in Ontario is really expensive too. Apparently we are the second most expensive province in Canada, living is not cheap these days anywhere it seems, but some places are super expensive and I have always heard California is pricey!
@Ashley-Kristen yes it is expensive thanks sis for watching ❤
@@MyHumbleHomeSis, I recently tried the strawberry oat matcha from SB, it was amazingggg!!! I drank it in like 3 minutes. 😂 I totally wish I had 7$ right now I would love a SB drink, I do not believe in not spending on little things. To me it is self care to treat ourselves once in a while.
@@Ashley-Kristenyes lol❤😂
i bought a mobile home 3 years ago now and we have no central heat here ! i bought my kids and i weighted blankets to keep warm ! keeps us warm and my bill is maybe like 14 dollars ! for gas ! i go to the food banks ! and since lots of people stamps are getting cut im in good company ! the line is way long ! i have to say that we eat a lot at home ! bills first the maybe a treat ! going out to eat is now a luxury for lots of people ! i write down what i spend and how much ! and buy what i need ! the 14 dollars that you mentioned i would spent to fill up my water bottles and food from the dollar tree maybe ! no frivolous spending ! that is me though !
your a good person with a good heart ! but we all dont have income like this ! im saying disposable income ! to go out on a whim you live pay check to paycheck right ! that is not dispoable income ! that is hey i have to make this last ! i pay my bills then have to pay others towards the end of the month i have to live with in my means here ! i belive that is what people are saying here ! i live in riverside county calif and i know things are expensive here trust me going to the store is a panic attack for me !gas oil changes for my car ! like i said going out to eat and buying starbucks is now a luxury for lots of people now ! in survival mode here !
Don't worry, I'm at my last $40 until February. 😂
❤
God bless you all. As you know God always makes a way . Day by day
Good morning friend, yes there are many brackets of poverty. My son and I and our cats live in our car, he works and I receive SS, but we cannot afford housing. The struggle is real but we have been so blessed and you bless me every time I watch your beautiful vlogs ❤ thank you so much. Have a blessed day sweetheart
It’s been tough for me too with making money. I work for DoorDash and make RUclips videos but that’s still not enough. Some people are so mean in the comments and think they have the perfect solution for your life. And if you don’t take their advice as soon as they post the comment… they act like we’re fools (to put it in nice words) or that what post and share our lives for attention. 🤦🏻♀️ (to me the trolls are just projecting their insecurities and issues).
They won’t stop me from sharing in my videos because I know most people have appreciation for the content I share and it helps them in a way too. Praise God.
Look into foods that are anti-inflammatory😊
I'm from Southern California and I know it's super expensive. I moved back to AZ because we we're struggling financially. Praying for you and your family to have all your needs provided in Jesus's name Amen 🙏 you're so humble and I ❤ your content 🤗🌻
Thank you so much for your prayers! ❤️
@@MyHumbleHome you're welcome my dear friend🙏 😘 🌻🤗
It's said with trump coming in his Tarriffs are gonna be devastating
on the consumers Tax will double along with inflation.
and it's rumored he's taking food stamps away too . Pray for the
Families . I don't want to talk about politics. But since it's a low income
Channel that I enjoy watching
You Esmeralda. I just wanted to share
Dios te bendiga 😇 🙏
Buy some heating blankets. Best wishes
Last $14 could have been spent in a wiser manner. That said, sometimes we need to spoil ourselves a bit.
New subscriber excited to support you ❤
You can turn on your stove to warm up the house. Just a suggestion. I hope your channel starts bringing in some money for you. 🙏
Just trying to get a donation..it would make heat higher pr electricity..which she nor hubby pays rent or electricity..she was getting food card..Bills are credit cards
@ do you live with them? So many assumptions on your part. Good grief. Leave her and her family alone.
@ How do you know this? Or are you assuming?
Don't take it to ❤ about other people's comments. Each of us are on our own financial journey.🙂
I am also low income and always wanted to start my channel to earn some money but I see that you started your channel 5 years ago and your subject still the same?🤔🤔
RUclips is not paying you after 5 years? What is the sense of your channel then?🙄🙄
im self conscious doing video's, my grandaughter got me started. my video's show simple easy meals that are low budget
Sorry, the weather is bad here in Oklahoma, people should not tell someone to get a job. I used to work outside the home,I do not any more. I am not disabled enough to get disability,I work a lot at home. We do what we can. God is our help.
Thank you for your words! ❤
❤
Where would you put a washer?
There are small washers designed to roll up to your sink. The cost of laundromats is more than monthly payments for small washers.
Happy to hear your getting a washing machine- God Bless
You might be poor or low income but you have a rich heart with Jesus ! Amen !
Good Morning My friend your vlog really help me because I am going through some stuff too
I am disabled and live pay check to pay checks myself i am divorced and have no children or husband or pets iam on section eight housing and ssi i am not able to work because of an old lower back injury myself when I was much younger than I am now or else I would be working in constant pain all of the time my injury isn't fixable either
And I can relate to what you are trying to say
@@amymeanor2179thank you
Hi sister! Ty for your truth, 🙏🏼
Your NOT poor
With trumps upcoming Tarriffs

California is already expensive to live in
it's only going to get more expensive.
I love you no matter what Esme
I am a fellow sister in Christ the Lord Jesus praise to His name ❤
Hi God Bless you 🙏❤ there is nothing wrong with buying nail polish, lipstick or anything to feel pretty. I have chronic arthritis also people don't understand arthritis is difficult it affects differently everyday different areas of the body. I understand because I cannot work. You sre blessed by God not people's opinions.
Hey wait a minute...you had no tortillas? You know how to make them! 😊
Yes I do , but like i mentioned my hands being hurting from my arthritis 😊
After I posted the comment I remembered the arthritis. Hope you feel better.😊
Can anyone else in the household help you with cooking?@@MyHumbleHome
Blessings my sister in christ stay warm hugs from texas 🙏
I understand some times your car breakes so your money gies to fixing it an your left with little fir food
Hugs to you. This may help you to quit pop, compliments brand, which is sobeys, sells cases of cannes sparkling water in pop flavors, gingerale, 7up, cream soda rootbeer, etc. No fake sugars, no sugar at all, and you get that carbonated fizz, it's delicious and now I no longer like pop ❤❤
❤❤
Esmi do you ever see yourself living elsewhere?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👋🏾🤗
I understand your arthritis and how would effect your ability to work etc ❤no judgement here
I thought she was leeunfilterred who is whom i posted about she os similar and look alike..
You tube is easy money, so many beggars
Hi mami, you are amazing
My god there is many beggar on you tube, in old days they stood on the corners and beg for money.😅 Now they all are on you tube
People who tell
Que mentalidad. 🫠 soy cristiana pero no me gusta llamarme pobre. Vine por un video que me salio pero al ver este it not make sense. Pudiendo hacer una hoya de arroz y frijoles malgasta el dinero en junk food. Naaaaaa no subscribe 👎 si vas a hacer un canal que sea de Bendición para otros.
Our food pantry gives a lot of sweets too in addition to other good stuff
I don't go often but out of curiosity can you and your get food stamps if you're low income ?
If you cook your meals separately from your kids they might be able to get their own as well
Why no bi lingual? 😊
Guess you will do without the soda now!!
Good one 👍🙋
Your still here I thought you had unsbrscribed like you had Announced a while back 🤔
@ I did
I guess you should have not bought soda's and new boots and cheetoes or maybe send back some of the many gifts you have dry begged!
Why so rude? Show a little compassion.
Your response is awesome 👍🙋🙉
Wow! Who are you to judge??? Is not your place!!!
How mean…
What is money for if not new boots, soda and cheetohs? 😂 At the end of the day, we all spend money. As long as her family is taken care of, and bills are paid, she can buy whatever she wants to. How about as woman we straighten one another’s crowns instead?
Hi Esmeralda! If any of us can help in sending you anything we can, where can we send it?
Sent you a little something by Paypal...stay strong
Thank you so❤ much for your kindness, God bless you.

You have her confused with another channel. I think you’re thinking she’s the young lady that lives with her in laws and pays no rent and people are sending her money left and right.
Yeah, her husband has a job, get your channels strait.
Hola 😊 I put some plastic on my windows 🪟 to help with draft especially since we’ve been having single digit weather. I’ve never had a credit card because I didn’t want to pay interest 😅 but I try to live frugal now that I’m older. Everyone does it differently but I like to grow my own garden, resell and I love thrifting 😊 I stopped going to goodwill like 2 years ago because their prices are crazy and everything there is donated. And I would always round up my total and donate my change. But one day a worker said what’s .50 cents and I told her well nobody donates to me and I stopped going 😂 But I go to my local thrift store and they rotate color tags 🏷️ weekly and whatever color is 80% off will be .25 cents on Saturdays to get clothes sold and bring more in. I’m praying everything works out for you 🙏🏽
