omg i’ve had to clear all of my envelopes so many times bc of a car emergency i’ve had to spend around $10,000 to get my car to just run. one of my most stressful life moments ever 😭😂

Sorry to hear about all the stuff that is happening to you. I was wondering if any of the appliances have warranty on them or not.

My son is also neurodivergent. When he was 7 he happily announced one day, “I opened my window and went on the roof to say hi to people walking by!” We screwed his windows shut. That was terrifying. You are absolutely correct that there are worse things that can happen than these financial setbacks. Safety, a sense of security, our health, having a roof over our heads, and being able to continue to work are our baselines. We have setbacks every year, but God is good and we are together and happy.

I came for both. Need some motivation as my spending has been bad since summer started lol.

Those inserts you have in your envelopes, do you sell them?

I may have missed it - but will you be restocking any other A5 binder colors?

I love these videos, but it's so hard to watch them since one single cash stuffing as almost my entire income. So unrelateable

Wow, sooooo sorry about all the things you've been going through! That's a lot at once (or even separately it would be a lot to deal with). We just moved into our dream/forever home but thankfully nothing has broken or stopped working. I usually bankrupt our sinking funds at the end of each year instead of rolling it over. So we can start fresh in the New Year! It makes it fun and taking all the money out of your sinking funds isn't a huge deal. You'll bounce back quickly and like you said, God is in control and he's got you!!! 🥰

I recently discovered you and I LOVE your content. Also, What a beautiful spirit you have. Your channel has been a blessing to me and countless others Im sure. May God Bless you and Keep you I just noticed your Ikea desks. Where did you get the legs for those? I love the elevated work space

My guy is a really good HVAC tech. The best advice he always gives is to get a second opinion when you're told things like that. There are a lot of not completely honest companies that like to push replacements over repairs when they aren't needed. I'm sorry you guys are going through it so hard right now.

I say comfort over aesthetics any day Emily...I like this set up and just as easy to watch. Love hearing Eli in the background...Mum life 🖤

Great video Emily...such a great system. I have adopted the same idea from you and it works really well 🖤

Awesome cash stuffing video 🤗💕

🤍🤍🤍

You should get a home warranty, they cover the cost of appliances as well as many other things.

I enjoyed the vlog as always 🖤. When checking out on the website, have you thought about Klarna/Afterpay as a payment method? Just thought I would ask 😊

I really like this setup! Plus you get to sit down and it looks super cozy. I was cracking up when Eli was shining the flashlight on you 😂. Too cute 🥰

I actually really like this setup! It looks super cozy and chill. Thank you for being so consistent with your videos (the unstuffings are my favorite). I look forward to them weekly. I recently got a lil behind but now I’m catching up lol 🖤

Im so sry for what all ur family is going through financially. Meanwhile that was a great video! Congrats on ur planner it's beautiful Lord please put ur hands down on this family and see them through all of these trials.

Dang! I’m sorry all of that is happening! However, your outlook on it all is absolutely amazing! You inspire me to look at things from a different perspective and try to see the good in what we do have! Thank you for a great video! Have a wonderful week!

🥰💙

I was listening to ‘all the things’ and all I could think of was the movie ‘The Money Pit.’ But, in the end, it all worked out. Love your positivity, and yes, there are worse things than no air conditioning. UNLESS you live in Louisiana or Florida or Arizona. 😂😂

❤

I know how you feel. For some reason on holiday weekends our appliances die. Just on memorial Day. Our stove stopped. We are praying that nothing happens this next Holiday. 🙏

OMG, I would be in a corner crying. I just had water heater go & am like UGH! You truly are amazing and inspiring.

This is how our house was. A bunch “little thing” that happened at once. Our water heater ended up bursting, ac duct was pumped into a wall (without an exit), black mold and foundation crack found when trying to update the finished basement flooring. It was clear they just covered everything to pass inspection. I was extremely ill for months and thought the new area allergies were just awful…

So sorry to hear about that Emily! I love how positive your attitude is towards all that's happening in your new home! That's a lot of appliances breaking down in a short amount of time and you definitely should consider getting a real estate attorney to look into all that. ❤

Holy Moly...so much all at once! It is like that movie "The Money Pit" with Tom Hanks! We had a few things happen after buying our house but nothing so major and so many things! I think talking to an attorney is a good idea.

Hi Emily 💜 I love your positive spirit and how nothing gets you down 💜 you’re amazing

Omg Emily. I’m so sorry to hear all of this is going on. My cousin and best-friend are also new homeowners and are going through similar things. I’m learning so much from them. I started an unexpected expenses envelope in my home binder, so I’m a little bit prepared once my husband and I purchase a home. Praying for better days my friend.

I am sooooo excited you are collaborating with her. I have never heard of them until you talked about their company. I sure did purchase mine. Loving this collab!!!!

Sorry that you are going through all of that😮. I love how you stay so positive through it all. ❤❤❤

🖤

Love your nails

Iam 🙏 for you and your family. God as this

Yes, this is relatable. It's just me and my mom, bills are divided in half. On August 2023 she lost here job and couldn't get unemployment. To top it off, still with no job, my mom also broke her wrist on December 2023. So life hit us twice in one year. I was and still am grateful for this system because even though it wiped out allllllll of my cash envelopes, we were able to make ends meet. It was a rough journey, but we were patient and took it day by day. She has a job now, recovered well, and now I'm back to recoverying my cash envelopes! I know you and your family will pull through! Sending lots of ❤❤❤

Pools are an absolute money pit. Makes me sick the amount of money we sink into ours each year to only use a few times a year lol

Yes I pulled all my cash out, my mommy took a bad turn after surgery...she lives in another state 😢

Oh Emily...what a rough month!! I'd DEFINITELY be taking a look at suing the home inspection company, the title company, and the previous homeowners for all of these things going out so soon after closing. Sounds to me like the put some lipstick on a pig to get by until they found a sucker...

So sorry to hear about all these huge expenses. Thankful for your faith to keep you both grounded. But yikes, sounds like a lot all at once. ❤ (Happy Father’s Day to Chris!) Always enjoy your story time and stuffing. 🦊💰🫶🏼

Hi Emily, I am truly so sorry so much has got you guys in so little time of owning your new home, but I also Love how you said "This is God keeping you humble". Always trust in God and he will sustain you and carry you through your trials. They seem heavy now, but in no time they will be a faint memory. Plus you ate keeping so positive and that helps so much my sweet friend! I will keep you and your family in my daily prayers 🙏❤. I truly Love your cash stuffing videos, and you have helped me and blessed me in so many ways watching your videos. I have been able to write out a solid goal to pay off my debt, and my hubby is so on board, so this is great and all by using your method and making sure we have an emergency fund while doing it. You truly are Blessed and I pray that whatever you need to do works in your favor and things get taken care of so you can be at ease again. I am so extremely happy to hear you say this house has made You All happy especially your kiddos!!! That makes my heart so happy to hear ❤! May you continue to trust in the God whom gives you the strength each day and the power to smile when you can't control the uncontrollable. You are a wonderful Blessing to so many including myself! Thank you for all you do!! ❤❤

I'm so excited to try the new planner and really i'm looking forward to the plain black and white pages. I've been an EC planner girl for a few years and have gotten tired of all the pastel and bright colors. I"m currently using a monthly so I ordered your weekly pages.

You've mentioned you only use debit cards. Well with manufactures overseas etc. are you ever afraid of your debit card being compromised??

WOW, thats a lot to deal with at one time. I'm guessing the restock has kept your mind occupied. Aside from the stuff breaking down, this seems like the dream home for your family. It's terrible that you have to make upgrades all in the beginning but after its done you won't have to deal with it again for hopefully several years. When my friend bought her first house, she went over at night after she closed and turned on the lights and cockroaches were running around everywhere! She saw no sign of them during the walk thru. During cleanup, it was obvious the previous owners knew about them and she contacted the realtor and in the end the previous owners had to cover some costs for the exterminator. I know it's different then appliances but maybe things will work out in your favor to help with costs.

Oh sweet girl I will be sending you prayers & hugs. 🖤

Definitely when it rains it pours. And it always seems to happen in 3’s. Our air conditioning going out would definitely be an emergency. It’s gets up to 120 outside here during the summer months. 🥵

Hi Emily, thanks for sharing another great video. ❤

Sort of having a week like that too. God bless your family. This too shall pass.

Baby step 2 here. Had to empty everything due to an electrical issue and rebuilt but then was knocked back by a major plumbing issue. So I’m back to baby step 1. But no new credit card debt!!!
