Great tips! We have a separate savings account where we put our side hustle funds. Came in handy when the engine blew in my car, and then the transmission went, and some other repairs were needed. We have mechanics in our family and in our church family, so we dipped into the emergency funds for parts instead of going out and buying another car or paying thousands to a garage to do the repairs. Then the engine went in my husband's car, which was already damaged in an accident, so he bought another used car with cash then took the trans out of his old car and put it in mine! We do most of the things you mentioned to keep our emergency savings built up and fortunately, even though we're both on social security, we still have our house and all the necessities. Our main shopping is mostly done at a local liquidation store so that's a huge savings.
Tfs! I love the idea of going to liquidation stores! Your car troubles sound like mine this year! I actually had to sell both of my clunkers this year :( sad to see them go as well as my savings go with the new ones - ha!
@@oneblessedstep Yeah... I almost sold mine, but my old '99 Subaru was offered to us by a couple at church when we had to junk our old minivan. We prayed over the car before we brought it home. Fortunately, my husband's a mechanic as well as my grandson and a good friend at church. Between the three of them and our savings, we just keep fixing her!
Of course! If I have Pumpkin Nutpod I add it with cream to my coffee. If I don’t, I blend canned pumpkin with creamer and add pumpkin spice. Lmk if you need more specifics…I generally do everything by taste.

👋 Can you share how you make your pumpkin spice coffee please? I'm in Denmark and it's not so easy to get access to pumpkin flavours goodies.

I am not sure if you are Christians and wonder if you 4:33 tithe?
We will do a budget video in the future which will answer your question in detail.
