"quit spending money you dont have on things you don't need to impress people that don't care"

My mother-in-law and father-in-law were both disabled. He was mentally ill, she was legally blind. To say they were poor is an understatement. He was in the hospital for an extended stay. Bless her heart, she found a house. Four walls, roof, and cement floor. About 900 square feet. No running water. No well, but they did have an outhouse (lol). My husband (65) carried water from a gas station in 5 gallon buckets. He was a young child. They raised 7 children in that house. Of course they needed assistance when the children were growing up. But they (she) had a home for those children. On "nothing" they raised, clothed and fed those children. And this blows my mind...they made sure every child learned to drive and made sure everyone was able to get a car. They were completely amazing people that raised the most incredible family. We learned from them. And before my saintly (and best friend) mother-in-law passed away we were able to purchase my husband's "old home place". It's our most precious possession. We will be able to pass the house and property on to our grandson. Giving him a leg up. That one small house has changed the lives of generations. The only way was frugality. BUT! I wish you had been old enough to record videos when hubby and I needed you most. Enjoy your videos and I'm careful to catch every one. And, yes, I bought and read your book 📚.

If being “cheap” is wrong, I don’t want to be right 😂

At 69 yrs. old I bought an auction house for $13;500 cash after almost 4yrs sold it for $60,000 cash offer in days packed up everything furniture held for a month and packed my old car and drove to Daytona Beach. I rolled in 2 days before Thanksgiving 2019. I found a block house in a great neighborhood with sidewalks. The house was listed on Craigslist an off market wholesale deal. I do the same as you, I do anything I can myself. I closed Jan.31,2020 for $52,500 cash plus wholesalers fee. This house was a mess but I’m not afraid work. The house after 4yrs. Looks so much nicer, just had new roofing.I am now 77 a woman, my male neighbors are impressed with what I’ve done so far. Still lots to do, but I love working on the house❤

Well I got sick in my 40's and had to go out of work on disability. It's been really hard. Almost impossible at times. God gets me through it. Praise the Lord 🙏

You spoke about people having multiple refrigerators and freezers. My stepdad passed away at 73. However he and my mom had 8 freezers which stayed stocked with all sorts of meat and other items. It was just the two of them. Living alone in a rural town. They kept tons of canned goods on hand too. Plus they had a massive garden. My stepdad would purchase everything in bulk. Even his riding lawnmowers. He purchased one and then an extra one. My mom said it's because he grew up in Mississippi very poor. There was never enough to eat. So when he got older he had this fear of being without. So he purchased extra everything and he always kept a surplus of food on hand.

I don’t know if I did good or not but about 15 yrs ago, I bought a 1969 mobile home for $2,000. I invested about the same amount in redoing as much as I could. It’s a pretty much a tiny home. 12x52. 1 bed 1 bath. I’m now 64 with no debt. Just living expenses and I do CB pay $100 trailer space rent to my cousin. I live on his land. I live on less than $900 monthly. So I live the life you are talking about pretty much. I drive a 22 yr old car. Everytime someone comes to visit, they are amazed at what I was able to do.

When I worked at Starbucks, they gave their pre-made food that was close to expiration to the food bank if they knew they had too much. I believe France made it illegal for businesses to throw away leftover food. I think we should adopt this across the United States.

Roku was one of the best decisions I ever made period totally free TV.

There’s something mesmerising about sitting in front of an open fire place , a lot of traditional pubs here in the U.K. have open fires, very comforting in winter

For a Christian, and even just a decent person, charity is a necessity, not a luxury!

I was paying $75 plus tax per month for a smartphone with 10 gigs of data. When the company tried to increase the bill by $5 for everyone, I took a page out of prepper princesses book and I called. I am now paying $55 plus tax for 50 gigs of data. Thank-you prepper princess!

I’m 71 and have had a ROKU since they first came out. I had one of the first PC’s in the late 80’s and took it apart to add more memory modules myself, despite dire warnings about voiding warranties. I help others with their cellphones and computer issues. Do not judge us old farts too harshly, as you will be old one day and believe me, your mental abilities and physical skills will not desert you unless you have major medical issues.

YOU ARE NOT A HORRIBLE PERSON, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HELP PEOPLE, I CAN ONLY SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH! MY HUSBAND AND I ARE IN OUR MID 70'S AND

Many of the those old mobile homes have mold or asbestos in them. Be careful and know what your getting what you can’t see behind the walls, floor and ceiling

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Not to long at all. Thank you for making this 66 year old MeMaw, living in a 25 year old 14x50 mobile home in Oklahoma and driving a 15 year old Honda Accord, feel rich in life. I am proud of what I have. ❤

We recently had our power out for 18 hours during the coldest temps we’ve had in 30 years. We have a little buddy propane heater which helped a little but what kept me really warm at night was my cat snuggling under the covers with me. He’s like a little flintstones heater.

One of my fave quotes is something along the lines of “I’d rather look poor and have money than look rich and be broke”. Your videos have helped me reset myself when that consumerist mindset tries to creep back in. Keep doin’ what you’re doin’! xo

A one hour video. What a lucky day for all your viewers.

I live in a 450 square foot home.

Most senior centers offer seniors over 60 a nutritious lunch weekdays with a low suggested donation. If they cannot afford to pay some or all of the donation,they can still receive the lunches. By the way, I listened to you, got a smart TV, a Roku and dropped satellite many months ago. One of my best recent decisions.

A suggestion for your channel - go find those living on a low income and interview them! Then we can all learn from them!

Oh my God I have been for 10 years using cotton Rags cut up from old clothing for toilet paper. I do use paper for number two but for number one I use the cloth. I have a bidet that was gifted to me from my lovely niece and now I use even less toilet paper because of how clean I am. I washed these cloths in a little bit of bleach and some laundry soap I hang them to dry on hangers in the Sun between the bleach and the sun they are more than clean. I'd love to see what they say about me

Keep being the beautiful person you are, PP...you are doing a great service for many people!

One thing I realized about houses is that in the past they were much easier to maintain, specially the cabins that were built up until the 19th. Almost everything was made out of wood (windows, doors, roof, floor, walls and furniture) and they could be fixed mostly with just some simple tools like a hammer, a couple of nails, a mallet and a handsaw. Nowadays everything is made to break and things are over complicated, most things have complex electrical components on purpose so that you can't fix it yourself, this has all been planned to make us more dependent on money and also to make life more expensive than it should be.

I wish all people buying a home would realize that if you think your payment is going to stay the same “ even on a fixed rate” It’s not! Your property taxes will rise, you will most likely have assessments added to your payment. People living on a fixed income many times go into poverty and can’t afford the ongoing increases from their State, county and assessments added to that dreaded statement that comes in the mail every year.

I’m 68 and I really appreciate what you shared. I’m about to pay my condo off and will be able to live on $800.00 a month Canadian. I have no other debt. ☺️🇨🇦

Being cheap = more money in your pocket ❤😊 Plus, being “normal” is overrated.

Change "cheap" to "thrifty" which sounds more reasonable than the other word!! I disagree with this materialistic society values. I don't fit in because I reuse, repurpose, etc. Can't understand people who just throw away an article, where one new wheel is required, for example.

Thank goodness I was raised by an if not overly done, frugal parents. It has been ingrained in me to 'shut those lights off', 'shut that refrigerator' and' don't waste that food' . However, there are some things that I splurge on , that they would never ever think of doing. 1. Taking a vacation 2. Going/doing something on that vacation. 3. Paying for Ntflix. I can hear their echoes in the back of my mind saying: "How are you affording this spending money like that. Do you think you're a Vanderbilt? I do make 90% home made meals,( including bakery goods), grow apprx 10% of my food(and increasing) shut those lights off, buy second hand cars every 12 years, do my own maintenance if possible, and do my own hair, manicures, pedicures for the last 25 years. I am saving money still.

Most people buy to impress others.

I've notice when I stop being conservative & become consumeristic i become unproductive & increase anxiety.

You've given me such great advice that I actually have felt like I got a second job or won a contest because suddenly it seems like I have so much more money lately. I then realized it was just from making some lifestyle changes like cooking more from home, doing my hobbies instead of going to movies, etc and not buying unnecessary décor or clothing. I soon paid off so much credit card debt that I am able to save so much more for retirement and finally have a decent emergency fund! It is so fricking exciting so thank you! :)

I would be careful getting furniture at thrift stores because of the bedbugs

When my grandma would put us to bed at her house, she would fill up old bleach bottles with very hot water and put them under the covers before bedtime so that it took the chill off the sheets. I remember getting in bed and putting my cold feet up against the warm bottle. It felt wonderful.

I don’t waste money on pajamas. I just wear old clothes.

I am not a guy that has to keep up to the Jones

My car is 17 years old with 84K miles. I keep it serviced so it stays running. Don’t want a new one with all the bells & whistles.

Me and my three sons live in a camper on a piece of land that we're buying owner financing. I triple up the payments so I can get it paid off faster and cheaper whereas I don't incur any fees for paying it off early. We live off grid a little bit of solar we catch rainwater and haul in our drinking water.

You have given me so many great idea. I dumped by 250 dollar cable and got a Roku and subscribed to KZfaq tv, saving 185 dollars. Thank you!

Giving to food banks one of the best ways to give/donate

Prepper Princess, you are the lighthouse in the ocean of madness out here. I often get caught up in the capitalist mindset, make money, spend money, make spend make spend, it will make you happy! Of course it won’t. When I get caught up, I find listening to your videos brings me back down to reality. I appreciate you.

I am so cheap I cut open my toothpaste tube and dig it out the paste.

Your comment on houses reminded me how ridiculous it is to buy a “starter” home and strive to upgrade over and over. My parents worked very hard to do that. They had their dream house custom built. Now they live in a massive house with 4 unoccupied bedrooms. Their kids want nothing to do with them. We would have been happy to live in that first modest house. We just wanted love.

900 ft home sounds like a mansion to me! My home is 500 ft. for two of us. Plus the two cats, a senior citizen dog and a puppy.

My Notes from this Video presentation:: You don't need a big house. you can buy a acre of property for 2k. put a camper. solar panels and compostable toilet. bidet. you can get free . phone bill and cable can be replaced by free alternative. free food at food bank. thrift shopping saves. . minimize clothing. think outside the box. . free hotspot at library cheap phone service.. ”Only use things when you absolutely need them."-Prepper Princess

Don't underestimate the fact that we live so much longer than in the past. My 97 year old parent DID save, even though she and my Dad were very low income. But living this long, and with inflation, medical bills, etc. over the years the money has been spent. She now lives on Social Security. People must save way more than they think. Sadly, most people cannot save enough because they do not make enough to do so. Our life was very frugal back then. I was raised with the same values you are giving in this video.

In 2006 I got on the property ladder in Australia by purchasing a caravan and annexe for 8 thousand dollars, just paid for lease on the land. I turned it into a house, called a conversion with 3 person corner spa in bathroom, kitchen herb garden, 2 bedroom, lounge dining room, shed and carport. I sold it a few years later for 165 thousand dollars. I moved to the country and bought a beautiful 1920 house on a double block for 130 thousand. NO mortgage and bought with a woman's income. I never really bothered keeping up with the latest fashions, have always had long hair which I trim myself and am clean and presentable. ( never had trouble attracting a mate lol 🤣) Cheers.

I bought my home over 20 years ago. I wanted land for my dairy goats. The house was not important. I had co-workers say you can do better. I bought my house with land. Due to the land is worth 4-5 times what I paid for it. I said as long as it has running water, electric, and a roof that was sufficient. I have never regretted my purchase.

HEY!! Old person here. Have had a fire stick for 3 years. Haven’t had cable for about 10 years. Who told me about a fire stick? My even older brother. 😄😄😄

It doesn't sound crazy, you are exactly right. Credit cards are a perfect example of predator verses prey. They are counting on us not having the cash for the things we need or hoping that we fall for consumerism & don't mind paying high interest to get that immediate gratification.

I wish I had found you earlier in my life I would be better financially .

I totally GET your perspective. I started saving for my first house when I was 15 years old. Later I talked my hubby into building a house with no mortgage. I was used to being frugal... him... not so much. Still, we got through it and he gained a new appreciation for having financial freedom. A friend came over to visit and said Ohhh you are SO lucky... and I quickly pointed out that LUCK had nothing to do with it... I didn't WIN it... I got it by blood, sweat, and doing without... and it was a great experience. If you do something because you HAVE to,that' can be hard, but if you CHOSE to do it... that changes everything.

I think that way about cars. If it has four wheels, with tires, a steering wheel, a motor, something to sit on while I drive it, I'm ok with it. Nobody really needs a Bentley. My little Chevy is amazing!

Gm my dear ❤️. I'm in a 700 sq. ft. house that my father and uncle's built back in 1949 on 1.25 acres. Did some upgrades electrical, central ac, small deck. Have a well and city water but still on septic. Only home in my neighborhood that is still original with the original Dade county pine wood floors. Luv it 👍.

I drive a ‘96 Honda Accord that was donated to my family during a really tough time for us. It’s got almost 300k miles, the windows don’t roll up or down; one keeps falling down about 1/4 of the way down, so I had to wrap the door with plastic wrap until I can get it fixed-because rain kept getting in. The wind going through the plastic wrap is so loud, but I deal with it. 3 of the door handles on the interior broke off so it’s hard to open the door from the inside. On the dash, the lights go off constantly because there’s a short. The doors can’t unlock with the button anymore, I have to unlock them by hand. The AC control knobs broke off, so I have to use a little socket wrench to turn the AC/heat on, and then move it to the other control to put it up higher or lower. The front bumper is held together by zip ties (all not visible). A year ago, a deer jumped into the road right as I was driving, and it dented the entire driver side of my car, broke off my rear view mirror, and cracked my windshield. I went without the mirror for over a year, until our new neighbor gave me a spare he had for the same make and model car. All of the issues with my car are cosmetic, except for the short with the dash lights, but I just fiddle with the knob until it goes on again. My sister makes fun on my car all the time and tells me to get a new one because I can afford it. I ask her why I’d do that if my clunker works? I’m not trying to impress anyone, and my cad does the same shit anyone else’s car does-gets me from A to B. I’m 30 and trying to save as much as I canX and she’s about to be 20 without a penny in her pocket, and no car of her own. I told her that I’d give her mg car if I got a new one, and she said she didn’t want it. I told her if that was the case, she didn’t need to be asking me for rides then, since she’s too good for my POS. Since my car is so old, I have no car payment, and my insurance is $50, because I live in a lesser populated area where there aren’t a lot of accidents. Am I particularly proud of my car, absolutely not; but I’ll drive it until it won’t go anymore.

Love your videos. Unfortunately - I do not live in the US, and my country does not offer such deals/opportunities like buying a lot for 2K USD and finding a free trailer , but - I am happy for you 🙂 One thing I might add - You are young, single, and healthy. Some people are old, or sick, or have kids , and if they work minimum wage - well, nothing much they can save.

Wish we had know about food banks when we were in college. Learned about them from my father in law. He would go to three different food banks, once a month each. Took him once, they gave him a flat of organic vine tomatoes, a flat of strawberries, cantaloupe, canned meats, staples, all the bread and bagels he could carry, candy, cookies, just amazing the amount and type of things the food banks are providing.

I’ve followed you for awhile now and I’ve changed so many things. I’m earning less because I’m staying home to care for my husband who’s I’ll, but I’m still investigating as much as I can every month especially now that I’m not earning a pension from working. I’ve reduced so much of what I buy and I often think of you before I make a purchase. Shopping only what I actually need is saving us more to invest like you do.

I’m not even 10 minutes into this video and I already love it. Thank you

What you're describing (how our DNA is developed based on our experiences, threats, dangers, etc) I believe is called epigenetics. Plants also "learn" over time and become acclimated to their environment. You are spot on about people spending what they earn. My realtor was baffled why I didn't want a more expensive house since I could "afford it" and the bank approved it. I knew from living with someone for 7 years what being house poor was. That old saying, "money burns a hole in your pocket" applied to my ex. Every dollar of income went to some payment or another. I had to hide money so that at the end of the month we could buy food. It was ridiculous and I never wanted to be in that position again. Looking back, I should have gotten an even less expensive house but the trade off with buying the crappiest house in the 2nd best neighborhood was it was 1 mile to school and a gas station and it was a semi-wooded lot on a cul-de-sac so a little more yard for gardening and privacy. BTW: we are renovating a school to make it a house under 850 sqft. Soon as we are done we will live in it the minimum required time which I think is 2 years and then we will rent it out and move somewhere elsewhere or add another small house on our property.

I love you! I’m about $9000 in debt. I know I can do it watching you. Thank you so much.

I don't think you are cheap. You are resourceful.

Boxers as a breed are sweet, huggy, loyal dogs. I have had five and loved every one of them.

I did the same thing. After college I continued to budget like I was still in college and paid off all my debts and bought a house. People in general tend to always spend more than what they make. No matter what they make! I’ve been in the financial industry over ten years and that’s all I’ve seen people do. You are the very few and are sharing good information.

It's a wonderful feeling to live below your means while watching your bank balance increase

“Forced Poverty”. The state of AZ denied me medical & food aid because my SSDI is too high despite my rent being MORE than my SSDI income. SNAP & Medicaid laws vary state to state. AZ does not allow for housing, utility, medical, etc deductions to reduce monthly income. To qualify for government aid (in AZ) maximum monthly income needs to be around $1000 / month. Seriously??? WTH can even rent a ROOM for that? Let alone utilities, medical, food, FUEL to get food, prescriptions, etc??? 🤦🏻‍♀️ I also don’t qualify for utility discounts for the same reason. The food pantry that I’ve been going to is income based & told me that come Dec when I need to requalify thew will discontinue my food aid because of my SSDI. So, no medical - again I am DISABLED - and no food. Fortunately I have recently found a couple other smaller pantries. That doesn’t help paying for my housing, utility, fuel to get to pantries, out of pocket medical, etc. Our system is beyond EFFED!!!!

I was having the time of my life spending. Now I have no emergency fund and can’t work too much. No more spending for me. Learned my lesson.

I love that you live simply ❤️

We also get free firewood. My husband has connections with a handful of tree trimming companies. And they are always looking for places to get rid of the trees that they take down. So we have a lot of property they dump those trees on our property and then my husband cuts it up for firewood. Since we heat our house with a wood stove. And for sure there is something so comforting about walking into our home with the wood stove going. We love the smell. It's great!

I wish you were teaching our young people, at a high school level, your wisdom. This is so needed. Maybe you could make some videos geared for them or somehow connect with them. Really you would make an excellent teacher. You are filled with wisdom and experience, which is so rare and needed.

Public Libraries should be on the list of “Wonder’s Of The World!” 📚♥️

To be fair, you can't compare the brain of an old person with that of a little kid when it comes to learning new technology, which changes so rapidly, and resembles nothing we learned when we were growing up or even in our young adult lives. We need people like you to help us train our brains to comprehend and keep up with the pace. Thank You for taking the time to talk about all the things you do. xo

I refuse to pay for cable. I haven't had cable in 10 years. I just can't believe people pay these prices.

Excuse me but I'm an old person and I've been streaming for years now. Ditched Dish and got Roku.

I had no debt for 15 years and almost couldn't get a home loan because my credit score was non-existent. But I had a huge down payment (almost half of the cost of the home), had good references from my landlord regarding paying my rent early or on time, plus I knew the bank manager. I struggled mentally about taking out a loan for the house but asked God about it. He told me "think of it as rent". So I bought it after being approved for the loan. I pay extra on it every month. I have retired and my income decreased so I cut my spending dramatically. Prepper Princess's videos keep me motivated to keep on track with being resourceful with house repairs and everything else I might need or want. It seems like God always supplies for me and it's either cheap or free if I wait on his supply. Thank you Prepper Princess- you help me keep a clear mind about it all!!!!

You would be proud of me . Never spent 5 cents on cable tv and I am 70 years old

We have a mobile home. I love my home. Our bedroom is like a motel room. I have seen other homes, but I love our home.

My home was cheap 30 years ago, no way I would want to move with the housing market here in Texas. Hubby wants to upgrade, I put my foot down and said absolutely not. Just think if we stay here we can retire early. That got his attention. I LOVE being debt free.

I’m not ashamed to say that I cut old clothing into 5x5 cubes and use them to wipe after I pee. I use toilet paper to wipe after #2. More people should as well.

Are you speaking extemporaneously? You are a very good teacher.

When you get articles written about you like this you know you’re doing something right.

You are so wise. Love how you've lived your life. Wish I new this stuff 40 years ago. You exude confidence yet have a humble down to earth attitude. Continue to bless and be blessed. From Canada. 💗

You don't know anybody that makes over $1,200 a month on social security ? I do and I work a full-time job as well. My idea of budgeting is pay the bills when they're due, end of story..

Since I started watching your videos I finally talked my husband into getting a Roku box. We've had it now for about 2 months and we LOVE IT! We are literally saving $100 a month since we switched. Before, we were unsure about how good it would be or how easy it would be to work or install but since we bit the bullet and did it we are so glad. Plus, on the channels that actually have commercials, it's usually only one or two short commercials instead of a full 5 minutes of commercials like cable has. Thanks Prepper Princess! 🖐️

We live near a small town with one grocery store and it marks down food in every section of the store to almost nothing when it is about to expire or they have too much. It’s for everyone and we’re so appreciative!! I can get a huge bag of perfectly good mixed produce for $2 that would normally cost $8-$15 And meats for 1/2 the original price or less. They do this every morning. Again, we’re SOOO grateful!!

I agree real life on social security. I am on social security for lupus and a heart issue and anytime I make more money I don't spend more because I want to have the money to pay for things that are needed like a car breaking down or a roof leak in my park model home. I don't need much to live on so when I sale things or if I decide to open up my KZfaq channel again and make money. I will live within my means the way I am now.

Because of you we have had roku for a year and we love it! Never going back to cable.

I do not use toilet paper not because i am frugal but because wiping is worse for my health. That is a first one. And secondly because i am pursuing a more sustainable lifestyle.

I'm an old person and iv had a Roku since they came out. And I have an antenna. I set up my own Rokus and I set up my kids and grandkids Rokus and my friends Rokus I don't pay for cable. And they don't call me high tech Beck for nothing.

Can you interview someone who lives on $500 a month not having gov. assistance one day? Could be an interesting video.

You missed a couple of the biggest energy savers or help on a hot day when the electricity goes out (like in your recent video). Turn your water heater OFF during the day, or when you're gone. It only takes a short while for it to heat up when everyone wants to shower and do the dishes when it still has hot water, then turn it off when you go to bed, leave it off all day, and only turn it on in the evening. My sister cut well over $100 a month when she started doing that. Also, when it is hot and the AC isn't working, there is nothing like putting your feet in cool water. Really helps! You will be comfortable while others are so uncomfortable!

Kudos. Raised by a grandmother who lived through the depression I lived a frugal yet life of plenty. Also a former manager at a local originating tv station I learned a lot of ways to get service. Now retired and 71 years life experiencence I rarely have the tv on. -Mainly local news. The local library keeps me up on any movies or series from Netflix showtime or hbo. Same with books either hard copy digital. You tube has endless videos. A big fan of cooking from scratch. For a couple of years I volunteered at a food pantry and also shopped there. Many people are not aware of drug manufacturers have patient assistance programs. My insulin is provided by the drug company. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. And smooches fir the pooches ❤

Loved this longer video. I'm glad you published it. Had a "just hanging out" vibe,. You drinking your coffee imparting wisdom, me drinking mine absorbing it all, nodding along thinking about what I could do better, progress I've made. Those wine mugs are great for hot or iced coffee. Smooches to Rocky!

YESSS!! I LOVE these breakdown, in depth videos from you! Can't wait to listen :)

I'm elderly, in perfect health according to blood tests. Loosing weight at an alarming rate. Anyway, my husband and I were going from Boston to Maine and I suddenly got really hungry and asked my husband to stop soon as we could. We hadn't been to Kenny Bunk Port in years so we took the exit so I cold grab some lunch. We found a downtown hotel with an outside ordering. I ordered a water and clam chowder, my husband a lobster roll and a drink that came in a can. Food was not that great considering what one would expect from New England. Our bill was $91.00 with tax and tip. I thought I walked into the twilight zone. That will never happen to me again! I will pack food always from this point on. I so worry about my grown children and others. I'm not screaming poverty here, but at this rate I will be. This was rare for us but will never let this happen again. I'm not understanding how folks are living these days unless paying attention to PP. P.S. My bottled water was $6.00, my husbands drink was $18.00.

That's why some will be forever broke and miserable.

Look at you ,showing off ,with you fan on,i'm freezing here in England, lol

I so appreciate the no nonsense information you share. You’ve made a positive difference in the way I look at money and frugality; as well as needs vs wants. THANK YOU 💜

Gosh I just love how you think and live. You are so authentic and really down to earth. We definitely need more folks like you. Love all your videos. I learn so much from you. Thank you!!
