Agreed!

I Just started my dental care journey 2 years ago. I have 2 weeks left on invisilign. I am getting implants on just the front 4 bottom middle teeth in 6 months. I got those teeth extracted 2 years ago. As someone who never had the parents to take care of his dental work I'd like to say you're a great person for doing that for him. My dental journey changed my life and confidence and it's not even done yet! Can't wait

I wish that when the lady on the app says 'hand it to me' she would say please at the end. Her lack of manners really jars with me. :D :D :D

you will make it. A hard working honest woman like you. You've got this.

I fully believe that everything happens for a reason. Even if we don't see it in the moment. You're one awesome mama!

Amen hallelujah, you are definitely surrounded by guardian angels 🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷🌼🌷

I feel you so much right now! I’m also a mom to a special needs child. My husband and I can’t both work at the same time because one of us has to be able to take care of him. I worked for most of his life while my husband was the primary caretaker because I was able to make more money and had a good job. After Covid my company restructured multiple times and I got laid off. Ever since then we have been riding the struggle bus. My husband is now working and I’m staying at home but he doesn’t make near what I did. So we are trying to pay off debt as well. I substitute when my 2 boys are in school but during the summer I am home all day with them. I have been dashing in the evenings and on the weekends and putting the money towards debt. It’s slow going to be sure but I have faith that something is going to happen for our family and we will be saved. I just have to keep believing that and pray 🙏. However I have my son on Medicaid and without that we would be screwed. I pray for you and your family as well! I love your videos and I started a channel last year with just mostly shorts of cooking stuff and some hauls. Thinking of doing a dash channel!

I love that you are so honest and heartfelt. We all have struggles and it’s good to know we are not alone. I have been multi apping with DD, UE, and IC. I am on Spark but it is so bad in my area. I will continue to pray for peace and motivation for you and well being for your family. Thank you for bringing joy to all of us and lots of laughter. ❤from VA Lisa Lahm

Poor Aiden, so sorry he had to go through all that dental work. I feel for you though, that is an incredibly large bill. Mama you are in my prayers.💕🇨🇦

If you're not (and even if you are a bit), you should be so proud of yourself for working your way out of debt. I've been there, and it is a long road, but SO worth it. Best of luck to you going forward !

Keep making money on your your youtube podcasts. Already 6006 views 13 hrs after posting! You're doing great! Go Girl...

Always make me laugh when you're a go pro falls to the ground and then it films your face funny or looks out the window to see the sky and the trees in the sun. Anyway I love your laugh and your sense of humor

Thanks for the laugh. Looking up at a turtles face, you are so funny. Good luck with your sons medical problems and bills.

You're not just dashing, you are teaching! Have faith! Thank you for that message.

❤ Pleasant video per usual. Keep that positive mindset, sweetheart. Always in my heart. ❤

You’re handling this so well. Yes, mindset is so important. I’m in a tough situation myself and have recently turned all my problems over to God and gee, I feel so much better now! Things are definitely going to get better for you too.

Yes, good things are coming to you!

Keep on being positive and doing what you’re doing! You are providing for your children because you are a great mom and think of them 1st- applauding you👏

You are a great mom! You will get through this! 💞

I hear ya! Stay strong 💪 onwards and upwards

Meaty Mama your inspirational, as they say when life gives you lemons make lemonade. Thanks for your frankness and another great dash.

Mama, I am also in a horrible money situation right now. I think if I had the money available I would so help you! Instead as how much I would need it give to myself. It's just something that would make my heart happy. Because like you said, it's not up to us at the end of the day. And everyone needs a little help and love sometimes. The intro of the video really meant a lot to me. You touched my heart with your words, and ultimately, the way you make someone feel is better than the amount of money we have at the end of the day! ❤ (I hope I made sense)

Go Pro!!!! Thanks for the view of the clouds 😂😂

Hi Meaty Mama! It is very hard to find a dentist that works on special needs patients. I am glad your dentist is helping Aiden. I hope he feels better soon. Hugs to all three of you and Merlin too! Have a great weekend!

Praying for you and your family ❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏

OMG At least you are getting your son's needs attended to. I am sorry about the debt repayment but hey you are working and doing your best. I feel you with dental bills they always throw my budget for months !!

I admire your positivity and knowing everything is going to work out and at the end of the you have peace of mind.

As long as the money is flowing, it's all good. Keep going Mama!

Hi MM..you did what you had to do, you're an awesome mum 💖 your poor son I hope he soon gets sorted out, I hate the dentist! You can replace the money, the debt can wait till you're ready, it's just a number. Give your self grace you are literally doing what you can. Sending hugs from the UK 🤗

Loved the gated community shots. Another great video Meaty Moma. Thanks for sharing.

I pause or end after multiple lowball offers, too. I don't know if it does anything on DD's end, but it always makes me feel better.

Do what you gotta do. Keep your pride and moving forward! Your choices for your child are yours.

Wow you are impressive and an inspiration and most of all a great mum. Things will get better and I am sure your dreams for your family will come true with you at the helm.

Don’t stress about the dental situation! Glad you got it taken care of. Dental work is so fricking expensive!! I love your positive attitude about it all! Keep thinking/saying those positive affirmations - the universe is listening!!🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 Hang in there!!

Door Dash getting put in time out was awesome!

I agree 100%. My prayer whenever I go through a really hard time that lasts a long time, and I can't see a way through it is "God, please just guide me in the right direction and help me make the right moves". The worst time, I had to work my booty off for 5 years, 7 days a week to get to a better place but I was happy about it because I knew I was making a difference in my situation. I think you're doing great and following your path to a better situation. We see you putting in the hard work and deserve the reward!

Good thing is you got the work done and it sounds like you have good credit. In a case like this where you have to add new debt I would have recommended and still do recommend getting as many zero interest credit cards starting with chase, Citi, and discover. Not only will you get promotional APR but also the sign up bonus’s. In this strategy you would put your normal everyday on the zero interest cards and redirect the payments to the high interest cards. So one goes up exactly as much as the high interest one goes down. Hopefully that makes sense, doing that would surely get you to hit the spend requirements to hit the intro bonuses which will all help to eat away at that debt look at it like manufacturing your own balance transfer since it’s 1:1.

My heart is so warm with the holy spirit 😊😊😅😅God doesn't make mistakes my love. He knows your heart and all you need to do is trust Him in every way ❤❤❤. There will always be trials and tribulations, but as long as you're leaving it in His hands, you will come out of it with joy my friend. THANK you Mama for this video. I love you for always being you. Please tell Potatoe and Aiden hello for me ❤❤❤. Your editing skills are so entertaining 😂😊

Love ur channel. U show REAL LIFE as it truly happens.💖

I sooooo feel ya. I can't get my credit cards to stay at zero. I get so happy when I pay one off but then 3 more show up to remind me I didn't make a dent.............. But we have to have stuff like you're describing. Prayers!

Hey lovely from New Zealand, you are the most amazing Mum - keep doing what you are doing - love watching your posts - you are so genuine and hard working, much love xx ❤. You will get on top of the debt!!! Take care x

I feel you. I face each day with a strong belief that things *will* get better as long as I keep grinding, keep reevaluating, and keep adjusting my plan & strategies in the smartest way I can. I believe the same for you & your family. The important thing is to show up each day and give it your best. (Some days, your best might not be that great, and that's okay, too.) None of us know what life has in store for us, all we can do is put ourselves in the best position we can today to get ready for what's coming tomorrow. There's a meditation I listen to when I need some encouragement and one of my favorite lines is "where I am right now is where I need to be". The place you're in right now might not be where you want to be, but it's where you need to be to get ready for what's coming next. A step in the process. Your channel is amazing. Your personality and humor shines. I believe you will go far. ❤

Having the courage to do what you did and switching full time to KZread was I’m sure scary at the time. But seeing your channel grow and of course your income from it gives you confidence and hope for the future. I hear some people on KZread can make 6 figures! And more! Keep up the good work and you can make 6 figures too!

I watched this video two days in a row because it was so inspirational and so funny. I hate parallel parking too. The THREE times in my life I've done it well are in my memory forever. Hopefully I'll get it down one day. P.S...I've been driving for almost 40 years. 😂

I’m so glad that your son got his dental work done. I lived on faith for many years while raising my four kids.

Keep going my friend!!! You stated that whole first part of your video so well! Just have faith and keep going! My husband and I have always said that "if we have to force something to happen, it's not meant to be"! However if you just wait, trust and believe that what is supposed to happen (or not happen) will when the time is right! I have to say though that a normal everyday citizen in these United States cannot afford dental care without serious financial implications! It is a true crime that it can't be made more affordable! Keep going mama! You're the BEST!!!💖

You are quite the inspiration my friend - Excellent video - As always, I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers - 🙏

Aww a nice long video! What a treat ❤

I love your outlook on your situation. I believe things are going to work out and get better for you. You are taking charge of your future, and you are going to be successful! I believe in you!

Yay! A video dropped!

I understand, but my son has autism, so it’s not so simple. Most dentists refuse to see him, and he has a gene mutation which prevents him from being able to get nitrous oxide. Because of that, he has to be put under normal anesthesia that requires an oral surgeon be present as well.

Because of my heart condition, my dentist actually referred me to UCLA‘s dental school (since UCLA is also where my cardiologist was located) to get my wisdom teeth out (as one became infected and I had already had a bout of endocarditis a few years prior from a dental cleaning) and as they couldn‘t use normal dental practices on me due to the restrictions of my heart/lungs. Usually Dental Schools at major educational hospitals want cases like your son as a way to teach future dentists how to deal with patients that a little less than the usual. My dental insurance paid for everything so I don‘t know about pricing, but having the Dental School work with my cardiologist and health restrictions was essential to making me feel comfortable. And one reason I didn’t get my wisdom teeth out until my 30s (and only because one was impacted/infected and the others were in danger of infections as well). You may have already done so, but I would suggest speaking to one if there is one close enough to you. Again, it needs to be a Dental School at a teaching hospital. But it might surprise you that they can accommodate your son‘s health issues and restrictions. And they might be cheaper and/or take Medicaid or offer better payment options. Just a thought. Either way you are doing a great job with your kids and yourself. Life is a journey…keep rolling.

Omg, dental costs. They are expensive in the UK, but not the amount you are paying. You are a great mam with an awesome personality 😀. Hope Adien isn't feeling too bad after his dental treatment. ❤❤

Care Credit is a Godsend! So happy Aiden’s all set. It’ll all work out.

When I went through my divorce and lost my exes income it was rough. I racked up a lot of debt jyst trying to survive. I was lucky enough to get 0% credit cards and just kept moving my debt from one to the other when the free interest time ran out. Being in a lot of debt is super scary but there's nothing you can do but try as best you can to get through it. I tried really hard not to file bankruptcy but eventually it all got to be too much and I realized there was no way I could dig myself out so I had to file. I felt like a loser but at least it gave me some peace of mind. With 2 kids it's hard for one person to work enough to be able to dig yourself out. That was 40 years ago, before working from home or scheduling your own hours was an option but even with that I don't think I could have made it. With the fresh start I was able to pay my bills and never got in that much debt again. I wish you the best!

Oh geez I did a dd for Aldi today in Tampa. 51 items 20 something dollars... stupid me, I took it. It included a case of water, a 10lb bag of potatoes, and a case of soda. 9 bags of stuff all together She lived on the 3rd floor, and the Aldi I shopped at did not have the bags with handles available. I was lightheaded by the second time up the stairs. I have a heart mumur and sometimes get lightheaded on exertion. It's ridiculous that doordash doesn't list what floor these customers live on. Wasted 1.5 hours for less than 21.00. Anyway, I love your channel, and I'm so sorry about the dental situation.

When I decided to do gig work full-time after I graduated in December 2019, I did not understand why I made that decision. I kept asking myself. Why am I doing gig work full-time? Why can't I just do something in my degree field and I kept getting the answer, you are exactly where I want you to be, and I kept asking and kept getting frustrated and then the pandemic and gig and I think kind of happens for a reason

I feel the same about my debt doesn't make sense to constantly worry about it just hustle on... one day I'll have money I don't know what to do with. I might be 80 but it will happen. I also owe over 40k and a single mom of 2 teenagers. The pandemic f*Ed me because before that doing this line of work I wss killing it.
