@budgetbylauren: What does my budget look like if I didn’t have social media? I think it’s pretty similar but we definitely splurge for luxuries (like a Roth IRA, a vacation, and a house cleaner) with the extra. #budget #Budgeting
I think they were just jealous. Although many of us don’t make social media money. You have 3 jobs. Still maintained 3 jobs even though you had social media success. You still are very aware and save and or invest. It isn’t like you are out here saying I make 14k a month and are out spending outrageously. You can’t control the monthly income from social media. Although it may afford you a little more luxury if you didn’t have it. I don’t think you abuse it.

I’m kind of over people acting like social media isn’t a real job. It makes money, real money. Any job/income can go away at anytime. People lives can change at any point and they’d have to budget differently.

7800 is surviving for your family…but thriving is what you are ensuring your family is able to do. Who wouldn’t want that? Anyone that says they don’t is lying straight through their teeth

You deserve it for how hard you work. The one line item on your budget that I think maybe seems excessive is $1300 for food. We are a smaller family, but that’s still so much money

If social media makes you money, it’s a solid job! You’re doing so well, literally with multiple jobs, and you’re killing it!

"whatre you going to do without social media" adapt. The same anyone would do without the job they are actively working in.

You were rocking it before social media and Absolutely SMASHING it out of the park with social media!!! You and your husband are amazing! Ppl don’t realize you could buy a house 10 yrs ago and basically have it paid off now (we did that) with making less than you. I’m a huge supporter of you and always will be♥️

What is the vacation fund for? Also, that mortgage is from a 2009 market crash. Those kinda mortgages don't exist any more ☹️☹️

You should do a money market. Interest is like 4.5 % right now which is unheard of. At least in NC where I live

As a teacher myself, my current monthly (once a month paycheck 😭) take home pay is $3,200 so you are spot on, it would be life changing. You work hard and so does Hector being the stay at home parent. I have a 2nd job and donate plasma to only live paycheck to paycheck. I really need to work on my budgeting. You’re an inspiration!

It’s crazy to me how people would comment on how you spend your hard earned money, but you respond so eloquently and in depth in the best way so that people can understand. You and your husband go above and beyond on your accounts and deserve every penny ❤️

My toddler is supposed to be going to bed, but leaned over and started chanting “goofy” when he saw your shirt. It was the sweetest thing

Do you like the tutoring company you work for? I’m a math teacher, and a flexible side job would be nice to have for extra income.
