When my girls were little, one of them asked me, "Are we rich?" My reply was, "Rich is when you have what you need plus a little bit more." My daughter concluded for herself that she was rich.

I grew up low income, and now I’m married, we are not low income but frugal because we homestead, have 9 children and I’m at home. We still have to make sacrifices because we chose to have a large family, and yet we are very rich in many ways that are not money related and for that, I’m eternally grateful to God.

We have been married 37 years. We only had 1 car for 20 years. We never got cable TV. 9 kids later and it has been good. My kids are hard workers. It never hurt us to not go on fancy vacations. We piled into a friends RV and brought food from home. We made amazing memories. My kids are very best friends to this day. I'm grateful to God for all the provision along the way. It was worth it to be home with my kids and homeschool.The married kids are also all homeschooling their children. We have 2 left at home. ( Still homeschooling) and we have 12 grandkids.

So refreshing to see another mom who believes in the Bible in her home keeping. Can’t wait to see more.

It took me 22 years to finally get my home the way I wanted it and I was a single mom, and purchased it at the age of 45

Im a senior now. I've always been low income, closer to the poverty line actually, and always rented. I still feel I lived a rich life surrounded by beautiful things. Money doesn't always mean good taste.
@marystilwell9312
You made me think of my sweet Momma when you talked about a clean home. I do not know if we were poor or even middle class but I am sure people thought that we were. We always had what we needed and what we wanted on those special occasions. I think back now and realize the sacrifices my Mother must have made for us to have those wants. But she kept a clean and organized home and we were taught that same thing. She would say “You can live in a pig style and still keep it clean.” She grew up in the depression and WWII era. She had 8 brothers and sisters in a 3 bedroom house on a farm. And we grew up on farms. She must have been frugal with her spending but honestly, looking back, I never would have been able to tell. She was a hard worker and life wasn’t always kind to her but she showered us with Love. That made is rich!

I stayed at home with my kids. We did without things but it was the best thing we ever did!
@marjoleint3592
Very good video! I live in a small country in Europe and here you have to pay 6 times more taxes when you choose to stay at home. But I have 6 kids and want to be with them and help my husband to do his work as a pastor fulltime. So our financial consultant arranged that my husband can legally pay me some from his income for all the work that I do and that way we have to pay less taxes. Also because of our low income we get some childwelfare. Together it is exactly as much as I would get as a teacher (former job) so we are very grateful to the Lord for providing. We are low income but very content with life working in His Kingdom, He is such a good and caring Father 🕊️

I agree on so many points. I stay at home and my husband and I talked about it before we were even engaged. When you eliminate all the extra expenses like cable, door dash, beauty treatments it is much easier. My house is also almost completely thrifted. I try not to buy anything plastic that will eventually break, or wear out. We don't shop cheap target decor etc. I also love vintage and antique. I just bought a beautiful vintage solid oak table that seats eight for a whopping $24.00. I think mindset is mandatory. When you feel entitled to have the newest and best, you are going to be miserable. I tell my son all the time when we go thrifting how much something would be in a store versus what we are getting it for. Even when I take him to a regular store and volunteer to get him something he ( a fifteen year old) will tell me no it's too much and he doesn't need it. I think we just have to remember also, we aren't taking any of this stuff with us when we pass on to heaven. I also find great things that I don't want and buy them to re-sell. We also need to be fully aware of the companies we are supporting and their agendas.
@BethB-g8k
Wow! Im glad I found you. I raised 5 children for the last 25 years. Its only been in the last three years that we were not low income. I can't stress enough how important one parent be at home for children.
@peacefulhome6
2 things....well 3. 1. i love your videos and am so glad i found you ❤ 2. tjmax has cheap dried fruit....way cheaper them Walmart. i go there just to go grocery shopping 😂 3. the kitchen aid mixers can be rebuilt. well I'm not sure about the new ones....i have noticed a major weight difference in the new ones and that tells me the quality is not so good. but mine is 15 years old and i burnt the motor out. not able to afford a new one i was pretty upset. this one was a wedding gift. my wonderful husband started his resurch, determined to fix it for me. he was able to purchase a rebuild kit with all new brushes for the motor. i came home one day with my kitchen aid in peices sprawled out on my kitchen table 😂 he was very considerate to not damage my table....which is all scratched and in horrible shape....and covered it with my nice white bath towels 🤦♀️😂 i didn't say a thing. but he fixed it and it still runs great. don't throw those mixers away. they can be rebuilt.

I don't know how your channel ended up on my feed. I scrolled past it. Something told me to go back and click on it. I don't believe in coincidence. I believe the Holy Spirit directed me to you. I was fortunate. I grew up in a loving single provider family. My father worked, and my mother stayed home and raised the family. Sometimes, things change. I am in that season at this time in my life. I watched your channel for a reason, and your words have brought me hope in these times when I feel it is good vs. evil. I continue to pray and ask God to draw each of us to Him. For those to be revealed in hopes they get right with God. Very challenging times. Thank you for your channel. I have subscribed and look forward to hearing what you can share with us. Thank you, and God bless 🙏🙌🙏

Thank you for your honesty and encouragement! I am a SAHM of 3, just found out we are expecting our 4th and I just began homeschooling our oldest. I have had many days wondering if I am cut out for this and if it would be better to send them to public school/daycare in order to help financially. I have seen God working and I am reassured that this is the best for our family. Thank you again.
@emilyharlin-hanson3707
I LOVE your videos! I work outside of our 1/4acre “homestead”, have 2 boys who attend public school and am blessed beyond measure in my life, in my opinion. My career started when I was 19yo and I’m now 43. I’ve been at the same job since I graduated college, went back to college and became a wife and mother. I’m grateful that this career has been flexible in hours worked so I can adjust as my boys grow. I THRIVE in my kitchen, making homemade meals as often as possible but also have deep passion for my career. I am complete being in both places and God has given me ALL that I have; the gifts of homemaking, mini-homesteading and Cosmetology Management. ❤ 🎉KEEP ON GOING!
@makelifesimple5110
Oh my goodness! That’s how we got our kitchen too! It’s old now. Over a decade old. But someone wanted to rid their pretty good conditioned good quality kitchen from the nice big home they just bought. They did kitchen for a living and wanted to showcase one in their new home. Hence sold their come-with-the-house kitchen to us for a very affordable price. Then my father-in-law gutted the old 60s kitchen from the home we bought and reconfigured everything to make the new kitchen fit in the given space. 😊 we were and still are so thankful! ~mandy

@laurafisher5271
One of the best blessings that I have found that a stay at home mom can do is learn how to budget. Plan your sinking funds, plan for an emergency fund and a car maintenance fund for emergencies (try and keep at $1000)

I'm a 26 year old mom of 4 and I just want to say you inspire me
