The Frugal Fireside

Hello, and welcome to our cozy corner of the internet! My name is Jules (internet name), and I'm chronicling our family of 3's journey to financial freedom. Here on the channel we talk about budgeting, paying off debt, and living frugally to fund a life we truly love. I'm so glad you're here. β˜€οΈ

Friends, happy Monday! I've got a few announcements and updates to share πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ’»πŸ’›

First off, a new video will be dropping this afternoon. I typically like to upload on Sunday evenings but I was wiped after a long church morning and work yesterday πŸŽ₯

Secondly, I am so excited to release my goal planner template for Google Sheets! I've used this style of spreadsheet to track both my long term and short term goals for over a year now. I love how simple it is. It's also easily customizable for your goals with no crazy formulas required.

You can snag your copy here on my Ko-fi ko-fi.com/s/5bb2f9813f β˜€οΈ

I've also created several new printables that will drop later this week. I'll make a community post tab once they're up! Thank you for your continued support of my channel: it means the world!

Thank you for 200 subscribers!! πŸ₯Ή

When I first started this channel last month I thought monetization was a long way off, but with my last few videos really finding their audience, it's looking like there's a good chance we'll be monetized before the end of this year 🫢

Thank you to all of you for being here and watching my videos: your kind words and encouragement is such a blessing to our family and we are so grateful for you! πŸ’›

God is working in our family's life, and I am so grateful.

I had my first weekend of work at my new job and it was wonderful. I'm so happy to be working at a small business that's family owned and family focused. πŸŽ‰

We also received confirmation that my husband is receiving a grant for school this semester, which will help us immenselyβ€”not just right now when our income is low, but in the future, because we're not adding to the student loan balance πŸ’›

God will always make a way, y'all. Stay in prayer β˜€οΈ
