Hi Adelina, I really enjoy all the topics you’ve covered, from tiny house and van build/living to plant-exclusive cooking and everything in between. Your personality, self sufficiency, and compassion for animals is what first drew me in and continues to keep me coming back for each video. I value and am thankful for whatever you choose to share. You’re an amazing role model for living your best life and sharing what you’ve learned along the way! 💕

I ❤❤❤ your explanation of stoicism as “practical preparation” and the idea of being ready to handle whatever comes your way without living in constant dread. One step I’ve made in that direction is to always fill my gas tank before it drops below half-full. That started as an emergency readiness practice but has turned out to be a great stress reducer a few times when a week just got unexpectedly crazy. I look forward to your 2024 content (and van adventures - yay!), and I hope the creation is as rewarding for you as the viewing is for us. ☺️

In the past several years I have really exposed myself to much information on mindfullness, stoicism, self reliance, suffiency and more! No one owes me anything in life, I don't assume or judge people, their circumstances etc....I just mind my own business and live my own life...by my standards, not my neighbours, friends, family or any social media platform...it's been very freeing and definetely rewarding 🥰❤🧘‍♀️🌞

@Dinainme 7 месяцев назад

I like where your channel is going. I was raised to know how to do things for myself. My father would say..."what are you going to do if your mother isn't around any more?" So he made sure we knew how to do things! He made us help him with fixing things around the house so we at least saw what was done and not intimidated by tools, etc. I hate being dependent on a man to fix something and feel like a person who comes in your house to fix things might be taking advantage of a woman hoping she doesn't know much - it happens! I like your channel because in the end there is no man behind the scene with the "fat wallet" or muscle helping you get things done. I see many renovation videos and in the end there is a man that is lending monetary and physical help. Keep doing what you are doing! I look forward to more videos! And I love your budgeting system and thoughts on interacting with people when you get gas/groceries! It is becoming a lost art!

@sandyallen1488 7 месяцев назад

Adelina, I think the direction you’re taking your channel is spot on. Over the past five years, I’ve focused on self sufficiency…learning about organic vegetable gardening and food preservation. Because I’m in Alberta, I don’t have a long growing season so I will do things like buy frozen organic mixed veggies from Costco and dehydrate them, then store them in mason jars. I recently purchased a digital pressure canner and I’m learning to preserve food that way. There is so much to learn and the journey is fun. I will definitely stay with you on your channel because you are interesting, friendly and honest.

@myBIGtinyhouselife 7 месяцев назад

Good for you! 😊

@grannyprepper1181 7 месяцев назад

The first thing I do when I get cash, is lock my car door and move to my next location. Incase someone saw me with draw cash.

@myBIGtinyhouselife 7 месяцев назад

That is a good idea. I don't normally sit there and play with my money after I get it. I normally fill my tabs when I get to the grocery store and the van sits so high that no one can see in unless they are standing at my window. I did it this way for video purposes but I'm always aware of my surroundings.

@AlicePhillips-jc7hr 7 месяцев назад

I really like the direction you're taking your channel. Personally, I have no desire to live in a tiny house, but I've found it so interesting to learn about it. But most of all, I've enjoyed following your life. Like you, I'm most interested in living an authentic, intentional life and have found your channel so uplifting because I'm watching someone who is doing the same thing. Keep it up. Yours is one of my top three channels I follow. I especially enjoyed your video today about how you manage your cash flow. Many years ago when I was raising my son as a single parent following a divorce and living on a small salary, I used what was called an envelope system which is similar to what you currently use. I think it's great! Thank you for your willingness to share your life with others on your own terms. You're an inspiration to many.

@myBIGtinyhouselife 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Alice! I started with the envelopes way back and it's morphed into this system.

@lynnloehr1566 7 месяцев назад

We do things exactly the same! In the USA there is a program started by Dave Ramsey that is an envelope system that works on the same principal as your wallet system. We have been doing it for years, we pay cash for our gas too. One perk, credit card skimmers that steal your info. are on gas pumps most of the time, and so you don't have to worry about that if you pay cash. We have always lived on a budget, and I actually like being aware of what we spend. Great video as always!!

I studied with Dave's team years ago. His system is where I stared.

@CuzmicTarot 7 месяцев назад

@JerseyGirl50 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing. I do something similar with cash, but I don’t carry it with me. I have envelopes I keep in a locked fireproof box & take what I need when I go to town. I also don’t live close to stores so I plan my trips by what I need to do on a particular day. I certainly can do a much better job budgeting as it’s getting more difficult now that I’m retired and a widow. It’s been tough with just one retirement income now but it’s doable and I count my blessings.

@myBIGtinyhouselife 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for commenting. That's awsome that you already use a similar system! I'll often take the amounts that are accumulating (such as for beauty, etc.) and leave them at home if the amount is getting high. Mostly, when I pull the funds out I go directly to fill the tank, which takes up about $130 out of the wallet that day and then get groceries. So I don't actually end up carrying around that much cash with me.

@Divinevista 7 месяцев назад

Dave Randy’s cash budgeting plan was made available to me in the Montreal area years ago. But decades before he came around, my late aunt taught it to me via her sock drawer. Heehee but seriously. If you’re looking for self sufficiency, have you considered growing your own sprouts which are mega vitamin sources, or making your own kombucha (been doing both for years) & I just returned back to sourdough bread making again. Granted, one needs room for supplies, storage and making but knowing how to do them is another tool in the box. Last yr I putted around with dehydrating food and how to can meals. I’ve yet to dive fulling into the later. Good luck with your new lessons. Hit me up if you ever want to learn how to knit. Blessings for 2024.

Like you my Mom was a single parent too. She would challenge me solve out problems to a logical conclusion. Mind you I was 10 years old when she started doing this. Her favorite expression was "just humor me". Later she say " being a girl doesn't mean you are limited " its the other way around " you are limitless ". Therefore, you can do anything.So, I can say in the last 60 years those challenges that came my way I've met and moved forward.

Something I did this week, as we are expecting some colder weather, was to put up a curtain rod. Sounds simple, right? I have a patio door on the rear of my cottage. I bought some insulated drapes to cover the doors and realized I have never installed hardware for a rod. That was my husband’s job. It’s 84” long so it wasn’t easy, but I got it done! I got out my drill, level & stepladder and after several tries it was done. The room was so much warmer this morning and I wondered why I procrastinated so long - fear of failure I suppose. Looking forward to some diy type videos. Your instructional videos in the past have been very helpful. Your patient and thorough style of teaching is appreciated.

Tying to always account for every penny so to say which gives me peace of mind knowing what I have. I am a bit of a control freak myself and wanting to take care of myself in every way possible. I always want to learn more. Knowing as much as possible on subjects is a smart thing so you can be totally self-confident and empowered. I prefer to have things in place to keep me going.

Your life takes the twists and turns like all of us have, you think about them, tackle them and solve them as best you can! And very well indeed, I feel! Our lives are more comprehensive and complex than sticks and mortar or wheels and builds.

I have been following your channel for several years. Our lives are very different but I always find something of interest in your videos. I really admire your lifestyle and the decisions you make. I was very independent when I was young. I bought a house as a single woman and could not get a conventional loan because I was a woman. I had to go to the government and get a minority loan. Getting a telephone and utilities in my own name was a challenge. Fortunately my father gave me good advice on establishing credit but I never had him sign anything for me which was what businesses wanted. I am obviously right much older than you. I have recently made a major life change. I am looking forward to your upcoming videos. Please include more on budgeting. I use a similar cash system but would love to hear more about yours. See you next week.

Hi Adelina - I love your nerdiness! As newly retired, I have been known to have a high score on the nerdy scale when it comes to budgeting - looking forward to your 2024 videos.

"Grooming "us to leave cash, to accept credit or digital is NOT the best option for me either. Awareness and making a choice is of more importance. When someone says, everyone does it that way, it is an invitation to "follow". I hear alarms go off with this thinking...it does not lead to critical thinking or awareness. Following has always gotten me into trouble! I like also, to talk to my cashier, to be thanked for my patronage and feel like I am part of a community. Thank you for reinforcing that we can be wise and use our intelligence to master our lives in ways that compliment awareness. Happy 2024! Stay warm and thank you for sharing. ☃

I am several years older than you are & retired but I can always learn new ways. I also try to run most of my every day life in cash. I most often pay cash for groceries,household items, cat food, gas & meals out. My budget for those items is like you $300 a week. Hope you have a great week. ♥️🐈💐

@myBIGtinyhouselife 7 месяцев назад

Happy New Year, Adelina! I like your idea of a wallet with tabs. So much simpler than the cash stuffing envelopes that people show.

@myBIGtinyhouselife 7 месяцев назад

I started with the envelopes way way back but then came up with the tabs because it's just faster at checkout and more visual. 😁

Hey girl, I'm excited, I welcome change and it sounds like it's going to be an interesting ride. And I have to agree with you on not letting life happen to us... that's my take on my time here as well. Almost 60 and will be experiencing extended seasonal work-5 months in a new place, slow living if you will.( The last time I did that was about 30 years ago! ) I'm cut out for the less conventional way of life😊. I'm excited for you as a creator and excited for us as viewers to see where this will take us. I think it will ignite or reignite or continue to ignite curiosity in all of us. For that reason...I'M IN!!!!💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 It's like you're inviting us to get in your van🚐 orderly, of course😂, and see where the road takes us. How fun! Can't wait!

I think financial ideas is great. I’m 65 and hoping to retire within the next year. I’m American. Prices are so high but I budget myself. I stock up on household items enough to last throughout the year. For instance tide pods .25 ea. I stock up. I look at ozs for items. My budget for groceries is 50 weekly.

@kevnrob1 7 месяцев назад

Another great video. A question I have about budgeting is, what do you do if you deplete all the funds in one of your folders before the end of the pay period? Also, do you revisit your entire budget periodically and make adjustments. And how to determine when that is appropriate? As for your content. We love what you share. That's why we keep coming back. You do you!!

@myBIGtinyhouselife 7 месяцев назад

I review the previous month's actual vs planned as I'm setting up the budget spreadsheet for the next month and adjust as needed. If I've spent everything in say groceries before the next pay period I normally make do with what I have in my pantry (which is well stocked). If I 'have to' I can borrow from other categories but I try not to because it's a slippery slope. The challenge is to stay within the budgeted amount. If I find it's not enough after a couple of months then I'll add more to that category. Make sense?

In 2017 everything I owned was destroyed in a wildfire and in a lot of ways it changed my life for the better. I replaced everything with second hand and thrifted items including my car and live in a tiny rental. I have a savings account that I rarely need to touch and my social security covers all my living expenses. It’s a much different lifestyle than I used to live. I still have the ability to splurge but I really have everything I need.
