SPEAKER_01: And thank you so much for being the best part of my podcast.
1:14
SPEAKER_01: Again, if you're a new listener, or if you've been listening since I started some years ago, I originally started right after my radio show ended, which was in 2017, and I cemented it in 2020 with the encouragement of my sister, my dear sister, Laura L.
1:40
SPEAKER_01: Sworn.
1:42
SPEAKER_01: Lord bless her soul.
1:46
SPEAKER_01: I have several things I want to talk about today.
1:50
SPEAKER_01: I first want to just send up a well wish prayer to those out there who are really going through a sickness.
2:08
SPEAKER_01: And I hear people complaining all the time.
2:12
SPEAKER_01: Do you really know how blessed you are to have your life, health, strength?
2:22
SPEAKER_01: Because so many people it saddens me.
2:27
SPEAKER_01: When I open up Facebook, I really don't do that, but sometimes when I'm um scheduling posts, I would scroll a little bit and I just see so many sad things.
2:39
SPEAKER_01: People are sick, seriously sick, you know, body-wise, you know, and they're going through things.
2:46
SPEAKER_01: And it's not a laughing matter.
2:48
SPEAKER_01: You know, some people think because they are well for the moment, and you look at other people who are down, you think that is some of you think that is funny.
3:00
SPEAKER_01: You can see the emojis, the laughter, and but that stuff will catch up with you, trust and believe.
3:08
SPEAKER_01: But I I my prayers go out to those who are suffering right now.
3:15
SPEAKER_01: Now, this podcast is about being debt-free and the freedom of it, part one.
3:20
SPEAKER_01: But I just want to send a well-wish out there to those who are seriously suffering, you know, with an ailment who is sick and shut in, and to the elderly, to the young, to the babies.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: I mean, to everyone who is actually truly going through something.
3:41
SPEAKER_01: You know, this is also domestic violence month.
3:45
SPEAKER_01: This is breast cancer awareness month.
3:49
SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's so many things to oh god, it's just so many things to send a prayer up for, you know.
3:58
SPEAKER_01: So I'm just sending a prayer up for all of it, you know, because again, this is domestic violence month.
4:07
SPEAKER_01: I do have a special podcast uh about domestic violence that would be next week.
4:13
SPEAKER_01: I have a special, very special cancer breast cancer awareness podcast also next week.
4:22
SPEAKER_01: So I want to take a few minutes to uh just send out a prayer and love to those who are going through things right now.
4:34
SPEAKER_01: If you can't do anything, don't make fun of people because it could be you.
4:39
SPEAKER_01: Don't make fun of people, it's not funny.
4:43
SPEAKER_01: I want to say one more thing that's very important.
4:47
SPEAKER_01: Wherever you go, whatever you do, you better take the Lord with you.
4:56
SPEAKER_01: Because this evil world that we live in now, you don't know if you stay.
5:03
SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying be scared or be fearful.
5:05
SPEAKER_01: That's not what I'm saying.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: I know a lot of people say, Well, you can't live your life in fear.
5:09
SPEAKER_01: I am not saying that.
5:12
SPEAKER_01: I am saying take the Lord with you.
5:16
SPEAKER_01: Keep a prayerful heart right here.
5:19
SPEAKER_01: Keep a prayerful heart.
5:22
SPEAKER_01: Because I I was I was reading the other day, two people were just walking in the store, and the guy just shot the mom and shot the the daughter cold blood for no reason at all.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: And there's so many bad things going on, like the stuff that happened in Pennsylvania, where the guy you know took out his whole family and friends, and the babies, oh god, and the thing that happened at Six Flags, you know, with the guy at Six Flags.
5:55
SPEAKER_01: Oh Lord have mercy, please.
5:58
SPEAKER_01: And the the the domestic violence case where the guy pushed the baby and the girlfriend fifteen floors down.
6:08
SPEAKER_01: It's so many demons out there.
6:13
SPEAKER_01: They call it mental health, I think, but I call it demons.
6:17
SPEAKER_01: Demons.
6:19
SPEAKER_01: So my heart and my prayers go up and out to all of those who are suffering right now.
6:25
SPEAKER_01: I had to say that before I get into my part one of my topic.
6:31
SPEAKER_01: I want to speak a little bit about the freedom of debt-free, being debt-free.
6:40
SPEAKER_01: There's so many reasons why, if you can pay something off, it's so important.
6:47
SPEAKER_01: If you can really pay it off, if you have to go bill by bill by bill by bill till you pay it off, pay it off, guys.
6:58
SPEAKER_01: Because we we don't know anything can happen, a sickness, and I'm not saying again, live your life in fear, I'm not saying that, but anything can happen, and then you will be stuck with all this debt hanging over your head, and that's really sad because a lot of that is going on.
7:21
SPEAKER_01: A lot of times we don't know what tomorrow is going to bring, we don't know what the next minute is going to bring.
7:28
SPEAKER_01: So if you are able to get yourself out of debt bill by bill by bill by bill, get out of that.
7:39
SPEAKER_01: I don't care what other people think of me, you know.
7:42
SPEAKER_01: I still drive around this same car 2006 that my dad helped me got, and that's a long time ago.
7:51
SPEAKER_01: 2006, think about it, over a decade ago.
7:55
SPEAKER_01: My dad helped me got that car.
7:59
SPEAKER_01: I still got it.
8:01
SPEAKER_01: I still got it.
8:03
SPEAKER_01: I still got that car, and I'm going to keep it.
8:07
SPEAKER_01: As long as it's going, as long as it's rolling.
8:09
SPEAKER_01: It's not the prettiest car on the road.
8:12
SPEAKER_01: It's not.
8:13
SPEAKER_01: It's not the cutest car.
8:14
SPEAKER_01: It's got it's kind of fading at the top, and one of the um the hug caps is off of one of the wheels, and you know, it has a little bit over a hundred thousand miles on it, but I guarantee you, I'm riding along somebody with a brand new car.
8:32
SPEAKER_01: It's killing them to pay for that car.
8:35
SPEAKER_01: Some people tell me that the car notes are one lady told me that her car note was a thousand dollars.
8:41
SPEAKER_01: I was like, oh my god, are you kidding me?
8:45
SPEAKER_01: Tell me you're kidding me.
8:48
SPEAKER_01: If you don't have to get yourself in debt, if you got something, be grateful with what you have.
9:00
SPEAKER_01: Me, I'm talking about me.
9:02
SPEAKER_01: If I need something, I get it.
9:05
SPEAKER_01: Only if I need it.
9:07
SPEAKER_01: I don't go and get things like I used to just because I want it.
9:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you can sit back and want many things.
9:15
SPEAKER_01: So many things you can want.
9:18
SPEAKER_01: But do you need it?
9:20
SPEAKER_01: A lot of people get things because, well, they kind of want to keep up with with the Joneses in this myth and uh whoever else.
9:27
SPEAKER_01: I'm just calling names now, guys.
9:29
SPEAKER_01: Don't get if your last name is is Jones, please don't think I'm talking to you.
9:34
SPEAKER_01: Just another saying, but a lot of people get things trying to keep up with all these different people, and the people you're trying to keep up with is probably struggling.
9:44
SPEAKER_01: It's probably living paycheck to paycheck to pay for it.
9:51
SPEAKER_01: You know, if I don't need something and I don't care again what people think of me, I wear my hair, I wash my own hair, I I I I wear it up, I tie it up, make it look cute, and I go to work like that.
10:06
SPEAKER_01: Not with a style, but when I see people with their hair styled, I say, Oh, that's so pretty, I like that.
10:12
SPEAKER_01: But would I do that?
10:14
SPEAKER_01: No.
10:14
SPEAKER_01: Can I afford to do it?
10:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
10:17
SPEAKER_01: But that's just me guys.
10:19
SPEAKER_01: To each his own.
10:22
SPEAKER_01: Don't do things to try to keep up with other people.
10:26
SPEAKER_01: You know, I've recently cut out just a lot of things, things I really don't need.
10:31
SPEAKER_01: I said to myself, okay, you don't really need that.
10:33
SPEAKER_01: And if you can do it yourself, do it yourself.
10:36
SPEAKER_01: You don't really need to be spending money that you really don't need to spend, even if you got it.
10:43
SPEAKER_01: Again, if you want it, I guess that's okay.
10:47
SPEAKER_01: But get something if you need it.
10:51
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna tell you right now the difference between being broke and being like I am frugal.
10:57
SPEAKER_01: And people say, Why are you frugal?
10:59
SPEAKER_01: You can have anything you want.
11:01
SPEAKER_01: True, but I'm frugal, I like being frugal.
11:06
SPEAKER_01: I want to give you the definition, it's not the definition, but this is what I look at it as being broke and being frugal.
11:13
SPEAKER_01: Being broke means you don't have enough to do what you want to do, you simply don't have it.
11:19
SPEAKER_01: So sometimes you go get in debt to get it, and sometimes you are already struggling just to make ends meet.
11:33
SPEAKER_01: You see what I'm saying?
11:36
SPEAKER_01: Being frugal means you're making a decision to not waste what you already have.
11:43
SPEAKER_01: Can I say that again?
11:45
SPEAKER_01: Being broke means you don't have enough, so you'll go borrow to get it.
11:52
SPEAKER_01: Being frugal means you're making a decision not to waste what you have.
11:59
SPEAKER_01: There's a great power, you guys, in being frugal.
12:02
SPEAKER_01: A great power.
12:05
SPEAKER_01: Because one thing about it, if you are not in debt, if you are paid yourself out of debt, then you can always just have extra money to do whatever you need.
12:15
SPEAKER_01: Because we don't again, we don't know what's out there, what's going to happen down the road.
12:21
SPEAKER_01: We don't know what's going to happen.
12:25
SPEAKER_01: So to be in a budget debt, don't know what to do, trying to keep up with other people who are killing themselves, literally, to have that brand new car.
12:43
SPEAKER_01: Like the lady said she paid over a thousand dollars, good lord, for a car note.
12:50
SPEAKER_01: I thank God for that old car that I got, and as long as it's going, I'm gonna keep driving it.
12:56
SPEAKER_01: Just because I can go get a new car, and that's funny to me.
13:02
SPEAKER_01: Because I don't need it.
13:07
SPEAKER_01: Long as that old car is rolling along, rolling right along, I'm gonna keep it.
13:17
SPEAKER_01: You know, lately, and they said it's it's the number one place right now where people are being evicted.
13:25
SPEAKER_01: That's really sad, guys.
13:28
SPEAKER_01: That's sad.
13:29
SPEAKER_01: My heart goes out.
13:30
SPEAKER_01: I don't know everyone's situation, so I can't challenge people.
13:34
SPEAKER_01: I've been in tough spots myself before.
13:37
SPEAKER_01: Very tough spots.
13:39
SPEAKER_01: But I said to myself, I never ever want to be in that spot again.
14:38
SPEAKER_01: That's why if I can live the frugal life, I live the frugal life.
14:46
SPEAKER_01: And people say, oh my god, you would you would just look so cute if you get your hair fixed, if you I know, I know.
14:53
SPEAKER_01: But I think I look good already.
14:55
SPEAKER_01: And I'm not bragging.
14:57
SPEAKER_01: I think I look fair enough.
14:59
SPEAKER_01: I am not trying to impress anybody out there.
15:02
SPEAKER_01: I'm not trying who are you trying to impress when you do these things?
15:06
SPEAKER_01: Especially me working overnight.
15:08
SPEAKER_01: Who am I trying to impress?
15:10
SPEAKER_01: To go in there with the top-of-the-notch hairstyle.
15:14
SPEAKER_00: Who am I trying to impress other than my coworkers saying, oh, Gina, that's so cute, that's so pretty, I like that.
15:21
SPEAKER_00: Oh, where did you get that from?
15:22
SPEAKER_00: Oh who am I trying to impress?
15:27
SPEAKER_01: So I live a very frugal life.
15:31
SPEAKER_01: I live it because again, I want to.
15:34
SPEAKER_01: Because I don't know the future.
15:36
SPEAKER_01: I have no idea what's the future, only God knows the future.
15:40
SPEAKER_01: And sometimes we'll get ourselves in all of this trouble, and then everything piles up on you.
15:49
SPEAKER_01: It piles up on you.
15:52
SPEAKER_01: And then what are you gonna do?
15:55
SPEAKER_01: What?
15:58
SPEAKER_01: So just be careful, guys.
16:00
SPEAKER_01: This is part one.
16:01
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna do a part two.
16:03
SPEAKER_01: I didn't want to hold very long because I know people got other things to do, so I don't like holding very long, but I didn't want to come out here and talk about being frugal.
16:14
SPEAKER_01: This is just part one.
16:16
SPEAKER_01: If you can pay a bill off, you got a job, if you gotta get an extra job to do whatever you need to do, make it your business to pay something off one by one.
16:28
SPEAKER_01: Pay it off, get it paid off, get it out of your hair.
16:32
SPEAKER_01: Don't hold on to it.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: I had a bill that was lingering over my head.
16:37
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, it was making me sick because the interest was way too high.
16:43
SPEAKER_01: And I said, Lord, if you ever fix it where I can pay this crap off, I'm gonna do it.
16:50
SPEAKER_01: And the Lord worked it out.
16:52
SPEAKER_01: He worked it out.
16:53
SPEAKER_01: I guess he tested me to see, okay, you get this money, let me see what you're gonna do with that.
16:59
SPEAKER_01: So if you can pay yourself out of these debts, then get out of it, guys.
17:09
SPEAKER_01: Get out of it.
17:12
SPEAKER_01: Get out of it.
17:14
SPEAKER_01: Because uh again I sadly I'll say it, we don't know what's out there, was down the road.
17:22
SPEAKER_01: We just don't know.
17:24
SPEAKER_01: So please get yourself out of debt if you can.
17:26
SPEAKER_01: If you have to go bill by bill by bill by bill.
17:30
SPEAKER_01: Things that you really don't need, don't get in debt to get it.
17:34
SPEAKER_01: Don't do it.
17:36
SPEAKER_01: Because a lot of times people have stuff that they have for years.
17:41
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes some of your closet is full and filled with beautiful things that you never wear.
17:47
SPEAKER_01: A lot of people got beautiful shoes.
17:49
SPEAKER_01: One day a lady showed me all of her beautiful shoes and her suits and her clothes, and I'm like, still got the price tag on it.
17:57
SPEAKER_01: And I just simply ask her, what are you doing with all this stuff?
18:04
SPEAKER_01: She said, Oh, I just I guess you just wanted to brag about it.
18:08
SPEAKER_01: That stuff can help somebody out there.
18:11
SPEAKER_01: You can sell that stuff to help yourself.
18:13
SPEAKER_01: You don't know if you're gonna need help yourself, and she's always complaining that she needs to get another job, I need to do this, I need to do that.
18:23
SPEAKER_01: Start by getting rid of some of that stuff that got all those price tags on it in your closet.
18:28
SPEAKER_01: Make that a priority, guys.
18:33
SPEAKER_01: This is just not the time to be bound by a bunch of debt.
18:43
SPEAKER_01: This is not the time for it.
18:46
SPEAKER_01: This is not the time to be in debt, guys.
18:50
SPEAKER_01: Get out of debt, get out of debt, get out of debt, get out of it.
18:58
SPEAKER_01: And I said it may it may take you a while to do it.
19:02
SPEAKER_01: But just do it.
19:05
SPEAKER_01: Do it please do it.
19:12
SPEAKER_01: Don't let nothing be hanging over your head that you don't need.
19:17
SPEAKER_01: Don't do that.
19:20
SPEAKER_01: Don't do it at all.
19:25
SPEAKER_00: So hold on one second, I'm gonna get something to drink.
19:42
SPEAKER_01: Anyways, I had to go in the other room and do something.
19:46
SPEAKER_01: Sorry guys, I had to do that.
19:48
SPEAKER_01: So thank you so very much for all that you do.
19:53
SPEAKER_01: I really appreciate all the support that I receive from all of you.
20:00
SPEAKER_01: Um, you've been so wonderful to me.
20:03
SPEAKER_01: You really have.
20:04
SPEAKER_01: You've been amazing, wonderful, and I just love everything that you do and how you've helped me and supported me and supported this podcast.
20:15
SPEAKER_01: I appreciate it so much.
20:18
SPEAKER_01: Because you know it's an audio podcast, and people often ask me, uh, why would you do audio?
20:25
SPEAKER_01: And I have to always tell the story.
20:27
SPEAKER_01: I did it because not everybody is looking at a video.
20:30
SPEAKER_01: Not everybody.
20:31
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes people are driving down the road and they need to hear like a radio, and I've always loved a radio.
20:40
SPEAKER_01: So guys, please, please, please, please remember.
20:44
SPEAKER_01: Just remember, remember, remember.
20:47
SPEAKER_01: If you don't need something, please don't get it.
20:52
SPEAKER_01: If you don't need it, don't get it.
20:56
SPEAKER_01: Don't get it if you don't need it.
21:00
SPEAKER_01: It's better to live a frugal life than to live a life of always being broke.
21:07
SPEAKER_01: Because we don't know we just don't know what tomorrow we're gonna bring bring.
21:13
SPEAKER_01: We don't know what the next minute is going to bring.
21:17
SPEAKER_01: So this is just part one.
21:19
SPEAKER_01: I know you guys see the posters out there.
21:21
SPEAKER_01: Thank thanks to Royal Digitally for a wonderful job that they did on the posters, but guys, just just remember what I said, okay?
21:32
SPEAKER_01: Just try to live a frugal life, and sometimes, even if you can afford something, maybe hold off on it or help someone else.
21:47
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that I spend a lot of time helping other people.
21:50
SPEAKER_01: A lot of times I get something, God knows I I help other people as well.
21:54
SPEAKER_01: I don't want to brag on myself, but I've helped many, many people.
21:58
SPEAKER_01: That's not something I want to get on here and talk about because that's between me and the Lord, but just be careful, be careful because people are being evicted out of their houses and apartments, and there's so many things going on right now, and being in debt is just something that you don't want.
22:21
SPEAKER_01: So if you can pay off that bill with that high interest, if you can pay that mess off, pay it off, guys.
22:29
SPEAKER_01: Get it paid off.
22:31
SPEAKER_01: Get it paid off, please.
22:33
SPEAKER_01: Do not have yourself in a bunch of debt.
22:38
SPEAKER_01: Please, please, please.
22:42
SPEAKER_01: It's almost like I'm begging you.
22:49
SPEAKER_01: But you know, a lot of people want to impress people, impress their friends, impress the world around them.
22:58
SPEAKER_01: People want that, you know.
23:01
SPEAKER_01: And you can't tell people what to do.
23:03
SPEAKER_01: You really, really can't.
23:03
SPEAKER_01: I can't tell people what to do.
23:06
SPEAKER_01: I can just kind of advise you on give you a few tips on what I do and what I don't do.
23:15
SPEAKER_01: But even I had to uh learn the hard way, I had to have a couple of knocks upside the head to to learn.
23:21
SPEAKER_01: You don't need that, girl.
23:22
SPEAKER_01: Why what are you doing?
23:25
SPEAKER_01: I would go spend money just to spend it.
23:30
SPEAKER_01: So I decided.
23:31
SPEAKER_01: You know, if I could, I'd just say, well, I'll help this person, help that person.
23:35
SPEAKER_01: Or try to build some kind of organization.
23:39
SPEAKER_01: Get something going that can help other people.
23:43
