    WTHeck is wrong with people?! With the amount of money you earn a h paycheck; you are still able to keep a roof over you and your child’s head, pay bills, dig yourself out of debt, save money, occasionally treat yourself and teach your daughter how to budget. You amaze me Emily!!!

    $20 to eat out for two weeks is not at all extravagant. You are doing a great job for yourself and your daughter. 👏👏

    I'm a pen and paper type of girl too. I move numbers around constantly, erase and rewrite, my paper got sticky notes and rips and tears after I'm done with it for the month lol it's so messy. I'd hate to mess up one of those nice papers in them planners. I don't think I'd end up using it because I wouldn't wanna mess it up. I'll use a notebook!

    I love how you are teaching your child and she will appreciate you more for it. If I don't have it to buy my daughter something, she saves her money and get it herself. I am so proud of her so I know you are proud of Ashton spending her own money.❤

    I like to work on my binders while watching your videos. It helps me to stay motivated Your savings challenges for your daughter helped me to figure out what categories I want for my Baby Binder. Now I don't have a baby or a relationship but I am still saving for a child or at least fertility treatments (since I'm 35 and people keep bringing up fertility a lot). You'll have so much money saved for insurance by the time she starts driving. Looking forward to the next video.

    You said you were going to save for a house might I ask what size you’re going to save for? The reason I ask is people don’t realize it with big McMansion type houses you have your room, your kids have their room in another whole section of the house that is basically across the galaxy so you lose contact with them other than through texting and calling.
    A smaller more moderate house has several advantages: smaller utility bills, more in person contact with your kids, more cozy living.
    You get to actually see what your kids look like as they grow up and get to know their likes and dislikes.
    You are doing a fantastic job at budgeting and you have a good head on your shoulders. If only more people would do what you are doing, they would not be in the troubles that they are in.

    Maybe your RUclips check could go straight into the priority savings for a new car? To speed up those savings. Please ignore all the negativity. Enjoy a burger or whatever it may be, you are in it for a long haul, and those small breaks will brighten your day.

    You're doing good. Any changes you make to help pay off that debt and get debt free will help. The fact that you are using a budget and sticking to it, is the key. Everyone has to have a budget that works for their life. I await the day that we can all celebrate with you when you make that last debt payment! Keep up the good work.

    If you have 7 credit cards, can you pay off 6 of their bills in full with one of your cards...balance transfer...so that's you only have to pay the interest fees 1 time per month instead of 7 times per month. Just an idea.

    I grew up in the Carolinas in the 80s and 90s. I'm white and my name is Emily and there were always at least 1-2 other white Emilys in my classes. Very popular name back then. I don't recall ever meeting a black Emily. So I associate it as a white name, you know? Reminds me of a family member who's best friend was named Tyrone, but this Tyrone was white, which is not something you hear every day for a white person! Just kinda interesting. Really like your channel. Would love to see some of your meal plans.
