Dumping Debt Fridays is where we come together every Friday and I answer your financial questions or give you a LIVE update on my monthly budget. Financial Q&A's are where I originally fell in love with budgeting and couldn't learn enough, I used to watch my favorite channels like Budget Girl, Gazelle Intents and Debt is Dumb just to name a few. I learned so much from these Q&As and received many requests to start my own weekly Q&A answering your Dave Ramsey and budget-related questions. Please leave any questions you have in a comment below AND if you have a MONEY WIN please share that with me as well! I absolutely LOVE celebrating your money wins!

OMGosh you spoke to ME when you were talking about the danger of sale shopping!! It’s something I’ve really been convicted of the last couple months. How long did it take you to straighten out your finances? Saving so much & paying cash for a wedding WHILE paying off loans? 😵🏆🏆🏆 PS this is REAL TALK & I needed to hear it!!

As always, great video Kelly.  How much do you think a family of 2 adults and a kid should spend in groceries. Thank you :) P.S: I love Piper! 
Hi Kelly! 
Thank you for all your awesome videos!! My husband and I were married this past summer...small park wedding completely cash flowed! Even though we are on BS2 I really feel connected with your videos as a newly married couple combining budgets. 
My quick question I have is if you have a video on Ibotta? I have a goal for 2018 to start using resources such as ebates and ibotta. I have watched your video on ebates, but wanted to see if you have one for ibotta? And are there any other similar resources you recommend?
A million thank yous for all the content it really does help stay motivated!

I use the envelopes for groceries, Dollar Tree, pet, misc, entertainment,  and household. I do it once a month. What do you do with the left over money at the end of the month?  Thank you Kelly.

I was going to wait to start to debt snowball.....but I decided I wanted to start off the new year with a bang. I paid off a credit card!! Granted, it was $300 owed to Victorias Secret, but hey. It's paid off and now I can start to tackle my next credit card with my first paycheck of 2018 :)
Modern Budget Curl: With today’s payment I paid off another student loan and finally hit the $80k mark. 8 student loans paid off and 4 to go! 
Krissie Vailolo 
I finally started! We only started in Aug & are each in the lower income scales, but we've paid off almost 6k, cash flowed a surgery & an unexpected 6wk recovery time
