I was talking to our grown son about hoping to leave them some money when we passed. He told me that all of them make more money than we ever did. He said travel, buy whatever we want, do things we want and he hopes our last check bounces. 😂
I grew up in poverty, with a poor single mother who worked low paying jobs her whole life and who only ever spent whatever little money she had on me. She continued to help me regularly after I left home for studies, even though I really should have been able to support myself then. I wasted money for far too long... Both things are things I feel ashamed of today. Now in my 40s I save and invest diligently, and I have more money saved than most people my age - about 10x my mother's net worth - but I still feel fear and shame. Fear of going back into poverty, and shame that, no matter how much I save, I won't be able to repay her for all the love and support she has given me.
My mother said, “love many, trust few, and always paddle your own canoe”. My grandmother said, “A man that can not be told is through learning” and “better to be silent and thought dumb than open your mouth and remove all doubt”.
If you've got a neighbor out fixing the fence the morning after it went down, you're blessed. I've always been lucky to live in neighborhoods that are well kept too.
In my culture we take care of our parents and our grandparents and any of the siblings of our grandparents. There's nothing wrong with it. For example when my grandma had Alzheimer's we were all taking care of her. We have so much family it was easy.
My mother being the opposite, made me frugal.
She gets a pension (has since her 30s) and it’s about half what my family of 7 get a month. She is constantly broke, always has been. But is always buying clothes, shoes etc.
Even now she expects us to pay for her if we go out etc as we “get so much more” when comparatively she could be just as comfortable with some self control. She is a big hoarder and lots of the brand new stuff goes mouldy before even being used.
I am now a minimalist and very frugal due to my upbringing.
Oh wow. This resonated. My mom constantly complained about bills and yet she'd spend recklessly on booze and non essentials. Saving money wasnt a priority and she made me feel guilty for having money when I started earning. I'd unconsciously spend feeling guilt for having more than she did. Amen for David Ramsay. His methods changed my life and mindset and have been debt-free for 5 years and counting.
My dad grew up in the depression. So did my mom. I live with 5 different health conditions. I cannot work in the official wirkforce and I am not on any social security program. My dad died when I was 62. He has provided for me. I am very blessed. It's not a huge amount but I am able to get by and I don't have to worry myself sick anymore. Thanks Dad! ❤
When I was a child my mother stole every dime I had until I was 18 and moved out. I didnt know that bank statements existed when I was 16 I was checking the mailbox for birthday cards before my mother opened them for me. I got my first bank statement and it said $1.52 balance and I thought I had about 7-8 grand saved from working every summer since the 4th grade,but no she stole that too. After I moved out she constantly harassed me to borrow money. She is dead now and finally I am debt free and comfortable but I resent how late of a start I had on life because of her. If there is a hell she is no doubt burning there for eternity.
It is so unfortunate when parents or kids take advantage in either direction. It's so much worse when it's a child or disabled senior being exploited. I'm sorry you went through that.
I thought I was the only one who had a mother like that, how can a parent justify stealing from their child baffles me
It was alot worse than just money. At 50 I'm starting to discover the origins of my issues and inability to retain relationships. It's been a long road. I'm sorry you had to endure the same type of mother.. I hope you were able to move on which has been difficult for me.@@melindastookey3831
@@melindastookey3831strangely you are not talking about your dad . I am sure he is a great guy.
4/4/24 - The way financial issues affected my adult life is that my parents never discussed money at all. They were very private people (WWII generation so I think that was common) and everything I learned I learned on my own and the hard way. That said, I am 69 and a widow for 13 years, lost a home because of my husband's death and I ran out of money while taking care of my dad (with dementia) for 6 years before he died. I came back from a terrible credit score and having to turn my car over to the mechanic because I didn't have the money to repair it. I couldn't get Social Security widow's benefits because I was too young. That changed once I tuned 62 and slowly clawed my way out of debt and now I have a small home and a used car and am grateful. I live on 60% of my income and save the rest. I have followed Dave Ramsey's principles and learned to be content and not frequent restaurants and spend money in general. I do get what I need but have to make sure I can provide for myself as best I can. Having extra money for emergencies changes your whole outlook.
I've always thought for myself. If I made decisions based on my upbringing I'd be destitute.
So I've always worked, been frugal, stayed out of debt, saved, taken good care of my health, remained a student, and traveled. I was not taught any of these things by my parents.
My financial trauma is clothes. I had very little clothing and shoes growing up. I wore sandals all winter one year. So now I have two closets of clothes plus some. But...I buy clothes cheap at garage sales and thrift shops. I've found some very nice things.
I have clothes & shoes trauma, too. In 7th grade the school had to tell my mother to buy me some clothes. I’m finally realizing that, I had an attachment to clothes and shoes because of that deprivation. Now I have a reasonable amount of clothing.
Parents who lead by example and teach their child(ren) financial responsibility, budgeting, delayed gratification are giving their child(ren) a priceless gift.
This episode speaks to me. Since I was 21, I declared I didn’t want to be poor. It’s been all consuming, but in a good way.
I’m childless and I don’t want to be a burden to ANYONE if I ever get ill. Everything imaginable is taken care of down to the last letter. I LOVE this channel….this is some good stuff🙌🏾
I agree with all said. My parents, gave no advise or guidance. I'm in the middle..first now am I learning the lesson. Life is rough..a hard teacher..gives the exam first then the lessons.
My grandparents left a huge nest egg and ton of property to my dad and his 3 sisters. All of my aunts waisted the money and sold the land. They thought they deserved it. Dad, however invested. There will be a day my cousins have nothing and my sister and I will be ok. NOT looking forward to that day.
@@karlabritfeld7104 they can demand all they want the Will was clear. Grandchildren can not give to grandchildren. I have not heard from them in 10 years. No merry Christmas. No happy birthday. I will kindly remind them
We are going through this right now with my mom, who was just diagnosed with dementia and has nothing except social security. Memory care facilities are upwards of $5,000 per month. From a young age I always made sure to have tons of insurance, retirement, extra life insurance etc. I don't want anyone to have pay for my death, I'd rather them remember me as someone who was mature enough to take care of her $hit.
Don’t have kids or get divorced. Stay away from ethnic groups known for taking advantage of.
Be careful what you say to kids.
You never know what's gonna stick!
No childhood trauma, but the taxman has given me permanent trauma.
😃
I have financial trauma due to my parents not having any money saved and living poorly requiring help. I have worked two jobs as a registered nurse for nine years… saving money to retire!! I do not want to be a financial burden on my kids. I’m only 61. Cremation here 2000.
Financial trauma? Let me tell you about financial trauma. I fell madly in love with a degenerate spendthrift. He managed to create a new financial crisis every single month. It was six months after he died before I realized I didn't need to hide money in odd corners of the house to keep it out of his hands. There were stretches, sometimes weeks, where the kids got fruit, vegetables, meat, and milk, and I ate potatoes, rice and beans exclusively. He was funny, smart, compassionate, generous, a terrific father, and completely INSANE with money. It's taken me five years of intensive therapy to get over it all and realize that I have control and responsibility for my own finances. TLDR: YES! Trauma definitely impacts your finances; hence the popularity of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."
When I die, just compost me... I dont need an expensive party or funeral if I'm dead. Haha 😂
I am so lucky to have a very frugal mother who has had an amazing influence on me. Feel blessed every day.
My dad took me to the bank when I was 14 yrs old and had me take out a $500.00 loan with his co- signature and put the money in savings account. I made payments every month. By the time I turned 18 I was able to take out a car loan without co-signer.
I have a girlfriend who just got a fairly moderate personal injury settlement. She has been poor her whole life. She came from generational poverty. She has been worried about what to spend it on. To make good use of it. I asked her if she had ever thought of buying a good pair of store bought shoes, a new winter coat, a new pair of glasses, maybe a good used car. I could tell it made her so uncomfortable to even think of spending money on things she never could buy. I also mentioned paying for her funeral that would be wise if she felt she wanted to invest the money. The struggle is real.
Yes, yes, yes, my husband grew up during the big depression. He had to wear shoes and stuff them with newspapers to make them fit. Clothes were come to get. He started selling newspapers on the street when he was five with his brother. He worked hard and did quite well.
My gm got nervous because I kept opening the refrigerator. My told me she lived through the great depression and that was a thing. I think those people in 1930's were pretty traumatized. We take so much for granted.
I understand not wanting to say something to traumatize a child. When I was a middle schooler, I attended a day care after school. One day, a younger child was very upset, asking me if it was true that everyone dies, including his parents. I had been taught never to lie, so I said yes, everyone dies, including our parents, but not for a long time so don't worry. The child told the teacher what I'd said, and I was punished for scaring the child. It wasn't as if I'd brought up the topic to the child, the child asked me. I didn't want to talk to anyone after that. My young brain couldn't understand what I'd done wrong.
Some people are stupid jerks, who think they are doing everyone a favor by splitting hairs.
Sorry you had that experience.
I'm OK with leaving our son with my cremation cost cause he left us with his vehicle ( that we co signed for) and payment because he no longer wanted to pay on it. I figure we will call it even.😂
Yup, and you won’t be here for him to argue with you about it.😂Lol
Lol
Sad on both counts.
Cremation society is 1200 dollars. I've had to take care of 7 people's arrangements.
Or your kid doesn’t claim your body because he can’t afford the services.
HOORAY for neighbors who maintain the property!!! One less job for you to do although I KNOW you are more than capable. Great video content! Hugs to Prepper Princess and furbabies! ❤
I attract takers - as a kid and as an adult - if I loaned clothes, they were frustrated and angry a month later when I went to their home to ask for them back. As an adult, if I loaned money or did things as a team player with my significant other, it was minimized and never appreciated. I try to stay clear of takers. I have money saved but would have been in better financial shape had I remained single. So my trauma is caution in comingling finances or getting married/living together - I am much better on my own.
Same here. Counseling helped me and also the recommended reading about boundaries. Blessings!
Same here, and I’m not married so all the people i know who don’t save, don’t work or make bad decisions want to move in with me. Generally people who save will often be targets (even if unintentional) of those who do not save or work, after all, how could they live if they flocked to people who share their careless values since they wouldn’t have two nickels to rub together.
@@melli-yelli EXACTLY RIGHT!!
I've had 3 women friends ask me if they could move in. I'm a 73 year old single woman who wants to live in peace.
I attract takers, too, men & the IRS.
My dad took alot of what I made, used a guilt trip to take it, then said You are poor, will always be poor, and that I shouldn't expect to ever be anything else. If I bought something g, say a pair of pants, he would accuse me of being high minded and acting like I'm rich when I'm not. I do kn ow how to save, but I have NEVER but once or twice made more than 10,000 a year.
I'm 59, and my house is almost paid off. But it's been a hard road. Terrified to spend a dime, profound regret when I do, because I "don't deserve it". Right now I babysit, flip on Face Book, and am extremely frugal. I live on what I make, o ly spend when I have to. I get food assistance, get as much for free as possible, and eke out a living.
You have got this but you have to break the guilt cycle. Give yourself an allowance even if it is only $5 a week and you can spend that guilt free. If you don't spend it you have to give it away. It is much easier to buy a coffee using your allowance. I was gifted a $50 coffee card Xmas of 2022. I just finished the card off March 2024. I found it difficult to stop when i was in town to remember to get a coffee. I had stopped treating myself to anything that wasn't on my need to get list. So, when the card ran out i spent $50 to replace it and hope to buy another this Xmas
You're doing well. My mom used to hold a grudge if I did anything remotely nice for myself. I went to the art museum once, a major exhibit. She got upset even though I had made sure I had done everything I was expected to do chore wise, and took the bus, on a monday when the museum was free.
"I'm sure I told you to do something". She never remembered what but she continued to try and make me focus on the small stuff. Always.
I used to try and do everything to please her, but she was never happy unless she was complaining, nagging, drinking, plotting or arguing.
I had an aunt that would hold her hand in front of my mouth an tell me to stop smacking when I chewed my food. to this day I chew with my mouth closed at 75 years old. My mother always made me use the toilet before we left the house and I still do. lol
Not really childhood but when I was 14 I was on the street and would go days or weeks without food. Now, I feel panic if our freezer and food pantry isn't well stocked or I feel hungry. I'm working on making peace with "enough" and feeling secure that another meal isn't far off.
My mum told me that she and Dad borrowed money to buy new clothes for a holiday in 1943, it took them years to pay it back, since then they never borrowed money ever again. They got married in a suit, cake was all the relatives rationing supplies combined, honeymoon in Blackpool. She taught me to sew, bake and make do, to this day even though I now have money ( thanks to inheritances ) I still scrimp and make do....I can't let myself spend money. I'm always looking for a way to save, buy second hand or do without. So I guess I have childhood issues about spending money even though I can afford to buy good items.
Coming from a family that’s made me 5/8ths Irish, the daily drumbeat was that we were terribly poor, and on the verge of losing everything. Clothing, shoes were 2nd hand. At about 11, I started getting a new pair of Weejuns & Keds each school year. And a book bag. Never a vacation. This was the 50s-60s, nobody had much, and we didn’t dare ask for anything of our stressed elders, lest they burst out crying. Begorrah!
If you don't spend your money the hosptial system will absolutely take all of it from you at the end.
Yes! And your channel has helped me self parent and heal. Thank you. 🙏🏻
My mom changed for legacy. So proud of her.
If the nice side of the fence is facing your property then it's their fence. If the nice side is facing them, it's your fence. 🙂
I learned a lot from my parents example with finances. They lived beneath their means. I have done that also and am a happy debt free person.
Me too
My last boxer died a year and a half ago. When Rocky did that single woof, I wanted to get up and let my dog out. I didn’t realize they all have that bark!
My parents were financially brilliant. My first husband was cheap beyond belief and a hoarder. I have trauma from 25 years of that (and other issues). In my second marriage, I’ve been able to follow my parents’ financial example.
Prepper Princess,
Depending on what state they die, it cost like this no funeral & cremation between $1,500.00-$1,800.00 but with funeral service add extra $5,000-$6,000 plus plot or mausoleum that's a total of anywhere between $11,000.00- $13,000.00. if you already have a burial plot or mausoleum square then it's less and does not include the cost of stone or plaque. A regular funeral ( no cremation) cost about $15,000.00- $18,000.00. There are extra charges you don't even think about such as opening & closing cript charge and if you bury digging the hole and filling it charge also when the ground levels putting in the stone charge.
As for taking care of our elderly family members it's a labor of love ( difficult yes, ) for our family not a burden. When both my mom's cousin and my dad's aunt were sick ( at different years), my mom's cousin had Lou Gehrig's disease, when he had trouble moving ( it's before home health aides) the whole family gathered up and took turns helping him and giving his family a break. I mean helping him bathe, cooking, cleaning and the kids in the family seeing this, wants to help also with going to the store, grocery shopping, laundry. Seeing us tend to our elders taught me and my cousins moral responsibility, kindness, look beyond themselves, and caring for our own with love and sadness but not a sacrifice of any kind if every member of the family puts their part. I remember my mom and dad talking on the phone with family members scheduling who is going, when & till when so we don't cross paths at the same time. We live in New Jersey and the ill cousin lived in Puerto Rico. About a week before he died is when we pulled our resources which amounted to$25.00 each for a day nurse and night nurse. We could have done it from the beginning but nobody wanted it because when you are raised like that and seeing it and have more than 100 members of a family that participate with out even asking, then there's no burden, burnout because there's always someone there.For example ( the retired goes on week days and the teenagers in the after school once every 2 weeks because there's a lot of kids and the that work one day a weekend. Plus the ones that come up from the US on vacation doing there part four week days in 2 two weeks.) Now I have my mom living with me and she could home health aides and live on her own but I wanted her with me and not waste a second just enjoying her.
Both she and I have life insurance. As for leaving for your future generations, well, that depends,if they deserve it or not because if they don't I'm leaving it to a dog rescue.
I am super frugal and unmaterialistic like my dad. But I will leave a better legacy to my children than he did.
My childhood was not easy however it made me so strong today. I’m 74 and I could never have gotten through the things in my life if I had it easier. That’s my thought anyway.
Peaceful living room with the sweet pups 🐶 💖
What a great topic. This hit home for me.
I do the same thing, watch my feet when I walk. I used to find loose change doing that too. a dime found would make a phone call or buy a candy. lol
Sometimes, the greatest lesson you learn from your parents is: how NOT to do it!
I learned from my mother how NOT to parent my children, and I'll always be grateful for her showing us her WW2 frugality! It's made my life easier... 🎉 Thanks Mum!
You pretty much summed it up well.
When I was a child my parents saved up every penny. We wore very used up clothes and shoes. I was always cold in winter with the thinest jackets. They spent their savings on a very expensive house. I thought we were poor. I will never save my money if I can make my child happy. That's my mindset I can't change it. I've tried. I need to save for emergencies and not worrying about money on a daily basis.
I never held a baby. I could not think of how to apologize if I dropped it.
My dog, Galaxy, just barked back. You and your dogs are double worth the entertainment value. ❤.
We grew up extremely poor and as a result I have always lived very frugally on a budget and saved my money. My sister was the exact opposite and decided “she deserved” whatever she wanted and had basically nothing saved. Funny how that works.
Hi prepper princess I sure like to pay off 3 more huge credit card debt. I got two cards paid off. I regret not planning well. So glad you are doing well. I am suffering from trauma. Stay well and safe 👍🙏
My Dad left me money not a lot but enough that it helped take care of several things, my mom is leaving us her funeral cost
I have kids... Well adults now. I have always thought earplugs or alcohol should be served at birthday parties when they are little. I am not a big drinker... but the earplugs have huge appeal.
No childhood trauma here. But I know alot of seniors that are actually raising their grandchildren!! I dont know how they do it. One person I know works at Walmart and another worked 2 jobs to raise them. Btw, Look up when you walk. Especially when you are in a public setting. It can be dangerous out there.
Yeah, poverty experienced in childhood will impact how we feel about finances in the future. Specifically feelings of resentment and prioritizing self preservation through not wanting to help out family when they ask, because how have you STILL not learned from your silly choices and are now asking your kid for money? Then feeling guilty when telling them no.
I have a friend who grew up in poverty. She went without a lot of things as a child, including food. She grew up hoarding things. Instead of buying one pair of pants, she would buy six; she did that with all sorts of things…Sadly, she taught her kids this same thing because they both hoard things as well!
I definitely have childhood trauma regarding money and adult behaviors.
Just regarding money - the adults who raised me, chose to smoke cigarettes and the man (biological father) chose to drink at home or the bar, instead of feeding their children. Some days 2 meals, more days 1 meal and to many days no food for anyone but the baby. This went on for years. The man refused any help from family or charity because it would hurt his pride. If we complained about being hungry or cried from hunger, he “gave us something to really cry about.”
One of the best days of my life, I was age 8 my teacher showed us how to forage for greens and berries. I knew I could feed myself. Our clothes had holes, our shoes had holes. We hated rainy days, walking to school or the bus stop and having wet feet all day and then tracking water everywhere we went in school as water squished out of our shoes and socks, everyone not only saw but snickered or turned away. The man who raised us did not have holes in his clothes or shoes. It rained frequently where we lived.
Yes, I definitely suffer from a scarcity issue and have to stop myself from hoarding food, all these years later.
Mine thought everything should be dished up to him, because his religion said so. If he'd believed in the deity he pretended to, he would have prayed for a little help instead of robbing wife and children.
Absolutely no humility.
My mom is 92 she has money saved a home paid for i love her dearly but she is very negative about things i understand but very hard for me emotionaly
Another person complaining about mom. WOW
Standard funeral In melbourne Australia r about 16 grand not including food at wake
My trauma came all my life from a greedy dad who bragged about how much he saved a year while me and my brothers wore rags When I got older I saved and thought my silver and money were hidden. They figured out how to steal that. On to the ex wife. She stole most of by forging my name. Anyway I’m fine now and get what I want nor need and have many many thousand dollars and assets!
Sounds awfully I am so pleased your doing great🌈
I’m glad you have pulled yourself up!
My parents were never content and incredibly in debt. Now they’re not content, incredibly in debt, and hoarders. They’ve chosen stuff over family. I refuse to continue their “legacy” with my little family. No debt and we’re happy to not have to keep up with the Joneses. My parents can’t understand how we’re happy.
I am also anti-hoarding due to family
.ove seeing your dogs! Made my day!
A lot to unpack. My parents were always super cheap with me, gave everything to my brother. I just accepted it in my youth without question. I saved and worked and saved. Never had any money issues. Paid my way thru college and beyond with never a hand out or asking for it. When I confronted my Dad about how I was treated vs my brother, he just pointed out the fact I got braces on my teeth (and so did my brother), that I should be eternally grateful for having fixed teeth. We never spoke again until he was on his death bed, 20 years later, waiting for my contact before letting go. I have yet to shed a tear.
Are you in touch with the brother who was preferred?
Have Mercy…I love that people are sharing their stories now. What you experienced was a real thing. I too lived it!
@@uslee19 No. We parted ways long ago.
@@annsalty5615 It’s very generational for parents to spoil the guy and not the girl. This is because they marry and take care of their wives. It doesn’t matter the reason why they did what they did. What matters is your heart. They did love you, but not in a way you wanted or needed. They are humans with faults. The best of us, the leaders within ourselves, see the limits in our parents and accept. I more than respect your choice to stay away from family. It takes two to have a relationship, and if they don’t want it, then there’s nothing. Just be seriously kind to yourself, your thoughts towards your parents, and your sibling(s). That’s all you can do.
My sister and I have talked about parents treatment inequality between siblings. We are all a product of your youth. Many men and women had a mindset the all opportunities must go to the male children as they would need them to be the successful breadwinner to take care of their children. Girls needed to get by and wait for a male to come along on marry and care for them, then repeat the process. In Utopia, that would be great as long as there is still plenty to give to girls, but that is not usually the case.
In 1980, many girls I went to college with went to get a Mrs. Degree. Find an educated guy and marry him. Many young women never completed their degree because they got married. Goal achieved. Congrats. Just hope and pray he doesn’t divorce you and leave you destitute with children, while he lives his best life.
😮 I've always heard "live today like there is no tomorrow" ... Not good advice when it comes to money!
Yesterday is gone, you can only learn from it. Today, this moment is all you have for sure, enjoy it (90% of earnings). Tomorrow is for planning (10% set aside) so when it becomes today, you can survive, thrive and be happy.
I’m fortunate in that my social security is fairly good. Lost everything in a foreign country 10 years ago. I was 63. Had to start over. No insurance. American government didn’t care. Except of course for the IRS.
Yes, but not from childhood. It was more financial abuse by a few men I have been involved with in the past. It is the reason that I will probably never get married again.
I have one son. He will get my house, savings, life insurance and whatever else I own.
Same here. Certain ethnic groups of men like to use women for food and other things.
Just an FYI...if the finished side of the fence is facing you... it's your neighbor's..😉😉
Generally, if the fence is on the property line, both property owners own it. If not, it belongs to the property owner whose land that it is on.
From how you seem on youtube, I think you would be good with kids. You enjoy walks, treasure hunts, are kind, speak in a way that is easy to understand, and have a lot of knowledge they can benefit from. Babies are a little harder.
I thought it sounded like a drone at your window! I hate it when my neighbor zips his past
My parents had nothing. I grew up super poor. I learned to save my money. People knew I didn't spend it. I learned all about greedy lazy people. They hate saving. They love blowing every dollar they get. They whine that the world isnt fair. It is fair. That's why they're poor.
If you think the world isn't fair then you think it's impossible to get ahead. I call this attitude "Poverty Think."
My son and I were discussing this last night. He had a girlfriend who was in terrible financial condition. They looked over her budget together. He made suggestions, easy ones, that would cut her costs without changing her quality of life. Give up a $400 cellphone bill for 1 person and switch to Verizon or Visible. She could save $200-$300 a month. He would help her, she did nothing. Basically, he found easy fixes that added up to $1,000+ a month. She did none of them. She is about to go through foreclosure and still she does nothing. Sad to see as she has a 15 & 5 yr old.
With all this when you're gone talk I cannot pass this opportunity to just let you know that I appreciate you.
There is also a law, especially very vivid in immigrant families. First generation comes to the new country. Works a lot and tries to give their children a lot. Saves a lot. The second generation inheretes money, receives education and spends it all. The third generation doesn't inheret anything and has to start all over again
Leaving a legacy also means a legacy of financial education. If my inheritors spend frivolously they get nothing.
@PrepperPrincess I agree. I'm the first generation and seems like my kids don't understand struggle. They are 10 and 13 though😅 Also, a scarcity mindset is a legacy some parents pass. I guess a balance is the answer. Thank you for being different and authentic 🧡
My mother didn't buy me clothes, and as an adult I live in clothes heaven, Milan, and I buy clothes every friday at the local market.
Wow!
You are so right with this I know many who felt they were poor and always chasing money etc. they are ridiculous
That's just the cutest thing the way Nala & Rocky pants are sleeping on the couch!!
It’s Mr. Rocky Pants! 😄
@@PrepperPrincess My bad!
Told husband donate my body to,University, donate my organs and they take care of cremation. Don’t spend a single penny , my body is just my vehicle on the earth, my soul and memories will be always with you. Just saying
Please do research on the topic of body donation concerning the particular institution you want your body donated to. After the fact is too late and even setting up early doesn't always guarantee your body will be accepted after your death. It's not always financially free and can entail some money spent. Get all the details now, fill out the required paperwork and ensure there is money available if there is a need plus enough for cremation or funeral of your choosing in case the institution is unable to accept the body at the time of your passing.
My mother in law did that
In Colorado you don't have to pay for a cremation of a family member,
I have one child who saves and one child that spends .not sure how that worked out they both in there thirtys both got businesses both have goals .but as I said one buys stuff other saves 🤦🏻♀️🤷♀️
I like the way you seem to be be going with your videos. Very enjoyable and informative. Thank-you!
They are negative about people that make money. They don’t like seeing other people do well, including their kids. In their minds, they feel less than if we do better. It’s sad.
I like your channel I'm frugal by choice.
Yes choose not to be hungry.
I had a great childhood. I got the Schwinn bicycle and we went to Disneyland and every year got new school clothes. We ate out all the time and went on vacations and life was good.
I had no clue that my parents did all this stuff on credit until I was
About 14 years old.
lol
Debt is dumb. My parents were great people but completely irresponsible with money until they were about 50 years old.
I think that you could perfectly live a life in 1910.
What you forgot to talk about in your video was that it is not circumstances alone that determines how someone handles money, but character and genetics also play an important role.
Genetics? Uh, no.
Love your shirt! Great colors for you.
Yes
Excellent info, Prepper Princess!
Rocky and Nala are tired from guarding you through your video 😊
If she had five dollars left she could have taken the cash out and saved that
Adorable pups❤
Man, this is so true. I just have so much to change and it’s going to take me awhile. 🙈
Loved the background show you’re listening to. 😊
My Mom was the same......had to spend every dime, never understood it❤
Well dear, 'financial trauma? ' In my 74yrs? Yes for sure...at least for my first 60yrs... But not since I hooked up with Dave Ramsey! I've not had so much money in my silly life. Having said so I don't use it much for myself however I'm leaving it to several grandchildren in a trust fund for them. Other than that most who know me by my 22yr old car, clothes fr+
excellent video. many thanks
Thank you, loved this content.❤
I meant about $ 25.00 to $30.00 each family member for a day and night nurse.
Can you make a video on preparing or planning for our own funeral costs?
