STOP WASTING MONEY & OVERSPENDING Traditional Christian Housewife + God Talk 

Great message. I have been overspending for many months. I feel guilty. They are wants....not needs. Thank you for reminding me of God's word and truth especially now with the holiday season coming soon.

I really needed this. I will admit that I buy stuff I don’t need just to get that “shoppers high” feeling. And then it goes away and I need to buy more. I’m so glad God put this on your heart to share! I’m going to work on my shopping habit. God bless you!! ❤️🙏🏻

I am having trouble. My husband cheated on me and left me. Now divorced. Trying to do the best I can now. I need to sell my house to be near my daughter and granddaughter. Please pray for me, to bring someone to buy my house ,I have to move out of state

If you struggle with shopping on impulse . Something that works for me is taking care of what I have : like cleaning , washing what I already have ! Only buy what you need and make sure it’s something you truly love so you are more encouraged to care for it, don’t buy because it’s cheap ! Also cleaning my home helps me keep my mind busy , as well as learning new cooking recipes :)

Very great video! I am a "working" wife, and this video was 100% confirmation of what the Lord placed on my heart. As someone who works in corporate law, I was so close to being devoured into the "keep up with the Jones" lifestyle. Overspending on luxury fashion etc. One day in March of this year, I went into my prayer closet and asked God to take away anything or anyone who was distracting me from getting closer to him and my husband and God's word hit me like a sack of bricks. "Thou shall have no other gods before me," and then i knew the luxury lifestyle, fashion, and soical circles had become my idols. I had to repent and ask for forgiveness from God and my husband. In 2024, I plan on leaving my job and career to become a full-time homemake and housewife.

Your video popped up in my feed. I love it. I'm a long time frugal momma and saved up every bit I could. I am so glad I did. My husband lost his job in April and that money has kept us going. Prayers for employment are appreciated. It has been very difficult. Thank you.

this was very encouraging. however, if I may say, I don't believe God wants us to view money as "save up as much as possible", but rather, HOW to manage money. we should try to focus on dispersing it the righteous way. I've personally found myself borderline obsessed with saving as much as I could and the good Lord reminded me that handling it righteously is all it's about. God bless you and your family!

I had the opposite of spending , I’m very tight with money , God made me realize the little effort I was putting into home making because of money , this year my goal was making my home to look good and to be organized i decorated for the holidays and my home looks so inviting . I want my husband to always feel welcome and cozy, after a long hours of work

Thank you, I love Proverbs 31. I was lost for so long, I was baptized as a Catholic yet raised Baptist by my grandma, tried Judaism, Islam, and back to Christianity again. I felt so lost for so long. I've found my heart through Jesus, he has forgiven me. I understand what you mean about the PUSH to promote God and live through his word, I felt the same thing a few months ago, after crying at the crossroads for God to forgive me for forsaking him. Thank you so much. I absolutely love your videos. This reborn life has brought me peace that nothing in the entire world ever has. It is a daily battle to implement and not just say these grand words, especially when money is so so very tight, but it is the most rewarding battle to beat.

🎉Thanks for this inspirational video! My only concern is mostly about buying quality over quantity. It is far more important to buy quality items, foods, and such, not the cheapest versions.

Oh my goodness, I needed this message so much today! Thank you dear Tabitha for reminding me of my spending before the holidays. Celebrate Christ first!

I needed this. I am a wife and also a self published Christian Author. I basically want to invest in my business and not just spend money out of control. I moved back to a country where I can barely buy anything I just want. This month, I denied my flesh of wanting to go out to the mall during Black Friday and when I say I feel good, I really mean it.

I don't have enough to have this problem. I am actually really good with money. We're one a one working parent budget. I stay home. There is no money to waste.

Thank you for this very thoughtful and tastefully done video. I love your gentle way of challenging sisters in Christ to CONSIDER.

Love how short and simple this video was but very straight to the point. Overspending is something I have been working on for about a month or so and I've cut so much. I keep praying God fulfills me with hobbies I enjoy that don't require spending, but to learn new things. It so easy to fall into the pattern of overspending when there is so much stuff around us wanting our attention. Such as social media when every RU-vidr tries to do is sell us something while they get richer. Thank you for doing the contrary and teaching me and other woman how that is not biblical and doesn't align with God word. I look forward to more content like this. Blessings🙏🏻

Hey Tabitha. I just wanted to encourage you to continue creating content for this channel! I really enjoy listening to videos that help me on my journey to Godly womanhood. Its inspiring and I appreciate it. The world views things so differently from me and a lot of women do not aspire to live life pleasing God and their husband. I have been married for almost 8 years. We married when he was 19 and I was 20. We definitely have our ups and downs but in more recent years I have tried to be a godlier wife and it pays to do so. God designed things the way he did for a reason, and we just humble ourselves we can see this. I may not have much in the eyes of man, but I have a blessed life.

Your videos always bless me greatly. This particular verse reminds me that the Proverbs 31 woman is decisive. Its something that I struggle with; so having contemplated this verse earlier this week and seeing a video on it now made me realize I need to be okay being decisive. God bless you and your family ❤

Great points! Biblical unity between spouses is key when keeping in budget and on track with finances.

I use to binge buy and the stuff don't even make sense..all we need is a simple life pray and love each other..

You are so right. I do the grocery shopping and my husband handles the bills and gas in the car. This is great godly advice to handle your finances...avoiding unnecessary spending. God bless you and your beautiful family.

This is for me. My husband and I are on a debt free journey and are on track to pay off all debt next year. Furthermore, we want to save money to buy a home and I eventually want to come home to raise my son..but I need to tighten up my spending and stop making excuses for buying things I don’t need. How can God trust me with much and I don’t steward the little? The much would be for me to have the privilege to be home with my son and have him grow up in a home. That’s more important to me than the frivolous things I spend money on. This video reminded me of that and I feel so convicted. Thank you. I’m going to try a no spend month.

Thank you for a great message. I really needed this I have always been a natural over spender and feel so impatient feeling like I need it now and then I feel guilty but not guilty enough to stop the cycle. I am taking action now and holding myself accountable, one day at a time.

Very uplifting video for many I think, really a blessing. There is truly a big differences between wanting and needing. So happy I found your channel, will absolutely watch more ❤ be blessed!

Perfect timing for this video, as I was beginning to feel pressure around Christmas gift giving/spending. I needed this reminder. God bless 🙌

This was so timely! As it is Black Friday this week & we are bombarded with sales. Thank you so much for this video 💗

I just started reading Proverbs and we started a budget this month so I know God was confirming our path with this message. Thank you for your encouragement. God just led me to your channel tonight. God bless!

I so needed this. I am planning a no spend year next year. I've gone so beyond crazy with spending this year, and it's made me feel terrible. Turning things around now. I need a brain reset and I have PLENTY.

Thank you Tabitha for this timely message! I love all of the Christ centered content you have been sharing! God bless you and your sweet family and Happy Thanksgiving! 💛Robin

You really spoke to me ! Especially in these days when prices just keep getting higher and higher I need to set a budget and stick to it no unnecessary things. Focus more on the necessities!!! Thanks for sharing 😊

I needed this!

Loved this… my hubby and I do a budget plan for each month and we have really in the last few months started really holding one another accountable for every dime we spend and we are really seeing the benefits from it praise the Lord. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Ooh I needed to hear this

Great message, I really needed to hear this

The proper context of this verse is Jesus. Jesus purchased His church (the redeemed) through His precious blood on the cross. No woman, no matter how much we try will never become the woman described on proverbs 31. It is Christ who opens His mouth with wisdom, strength and honor is He, His clothing is fine linen and purple (royalty), He extends His hand to the poor, for all His redeemed are clothed with scarlet ( righteousness), He plants a vineyard. He accomplished it all!

I love this insight!❤️

This is so encouraging! Thank you ❤

This is a very timely video, and I know it didn't come into my algorithm by accident. I recently purchased a quiet luxury handbag online, because it was 50% off and it will be a timeless bag that should last a lifetime. With that said, now my RU-vid is blowing up with videos of women showing off their massive luxury goods hauls. I started feeling less than. Thinking I should get some of these items for the status. To feel important. God convicted me, because my status is in Christ and frivolous spending is not honoring the financial provision God has blessed my family with. Thank you for this excellent reminder.

Not only did I need this perspective but I asked God for help with this and other areas of my life no longer than this past week 😳. Something you said literally made me audibly gasp and my mouth maintained a big ‘O’ shape. Picture me being so stunned while turning eggs over in a pan🥴😆. God is faithful and good. This message is SO timely and I praise Him for using you to speak to me 🥹❤️. God bless you my sister ☺️!

Thank you for sharing this. I needed this more than you know.

This is my second viewing. Thank you.❤ I need this every day.😊Hope you are well and am looking forward to future videos from you Lord willing

Your videos encourage me to be a more Godly woman.

Your writing is beautiful. Another gift from the Father

I love this video Tabitha ❤️wonderful message. Thank you for sharing

Very beautiful message. I’m actually very proud of myself this year. My first born is two, and my second is 8 months (will be 9 by Christmas). I got my first born two gifts and my 8 month old one gift. Normally, I’d want to shower them with loads of gifts! What really matters to me is having us all together and making memories and sharing experiences. Baking cookies, going to local Christmas spots to celebrate and look at lights, watching Christmas movies, and just spending time together as a family. That has so much more value than an over abundance of toys. ❤️

Love this!

Thank you for this message. I am guilty of overspending impulsively and not using my purchases wisely

Thank u for the lesson on the Proverbs 31 woman!! I have been convicted on my overspending. I will be considering my purchases from now on. Thank u for sharing what God has given u. ❤

Your children will be so grateful to have such a wonderful mother 🥺 love to see it 😊

This was greatly needed... what perfect timing. The more I spend, the more out of control and chaotic I feel until I crash. It is not a good feeling. This is a great lesson to slow down and CONSIDER. Thank you so much!

I have never thought of overspending as a patience problem before. That def puts it in a new perspective on why I might be overspending. Thanks for the calming environment and insight!

Great message. I needed it.

I love this video, incredibly helpful x

I love this oh my gosh! I'm a catholic mom and homemaker this is right and just and speaks towards what's been put on my heart too from God. I realized buying pre-packaged foods and frozen meals were harming our grocery budget. My goal this year is to make all this home made to save. I calculated and found that I would save $120 a month if I just cut the preservative filled packaged foods. Thank you this feels like I'm watching Mother Mary's domestic life and it's like I'm hearing her speak through you!

Your channel is truly blessed sister. I feel so calm and peaceful as I watch all your videos one after the other ❤. ❤ from India

Thank you, so far I have watched few of your blogs and they are very interesting, glory the Father in all that we are doing, Amen 🙏

I am having a no-spend November. I realized how often I just bought small things from my Amazon app and it was adding up.

thank you for sharing openly and honestly with such conviction according to His Word! I’m doing a no spend month in one of the least likely times to not spend. We have plenty, glory to God, and 2 Peter 1:3 is a great reminder for me in that. God bless you and the work of your hands, Tabitha 💗🙏🏼

This was beautifully done. Love your dress.,Thank you. This is an area I struggle with. Love this series!!❤

Perfect timing!🙏🇨🇦♥️

Beautiful Tabitha 😊 Thank you again for this bible study and God bless 🙏 Fiona.

Great reminder 😊

Thank you for this! I been trying to get a better grip on my finances. I don't want to be that impulsive buyer who just buys something just because.

Yes sister thank you for this message. I purchased 2 budget planners for 2024. One for home and one for our business. Our business was under attack this year and we had to break the no credit card rule. I am praying we can pay the debt off and rise above what we had to endure. But i love the fact that the one I bought for home even has a section for what can you do to better serve section in it. And the budget planner I bought for our business has a tithing section in it. Explaining why you should do that with your business. And I brought that to my husband attention and our cousin who's our preacher. And the planner became the subject in the sermon today.

I will be A mother. Thank you Lord Jesus.

Hi, are you not posting here anymore? I wait and wait and watch and watch ( I sound pathetic don’t I) sorry I miss you though truly. It’s so rewarding to listen to what the Lord gives you to say…and I have been so touched by all of your videos!

Beautifully done Tabitha!
