[00:07:50]>> And I also decided that I want to stuff the cash cushion little challenge. This challenge says $500 save 500 save $500 proof that small steps lead to big wins. And you can get this on my Kofi, too. It's a cute little small binder with the envelopes in the inside. Like I said, it's called cash cushion, so it got little pillows on the front. It's super cute. And I like to use this for like traveling. Like if I'm planning a trip, I can be like, this is my spending money.

[00:08:24]This is whatever. I had some people double this and save a thousand, which is fine. You can do it however you want.

[00:08:31]I had one girl add the numbers together.

[00:08:33]So, instead of 25, she'd do 5 6 7.

[00:08:36]And then she saved her money like that.

[00:08:38]I had people add it together. Um um times it two times five. So, like you can do it however it is that you want, but it's just too cute. And it's a cute little saving. So, I decided that I am going to stuff this cuz this will save me a little $500.

[00:08:56]So, I'm like that'll be that'll be cute little savings.

[00:09:03]I want to do something light because I don't want it to be too dark.

[00:09:07]Okay.

[00:09:12]And we have the $25 here.

[00:09:20]So, yeah, very cute. A lot of people have gotten this challenge and it's super cute little savings.

[00:09:30]There we go.

[00:09:37]Yay, and we're in it cuz I was like, we need to stuff our cash cushion cuz this is just too cute. I don't know what Hold on, y'all, cuz when you get it, it does come with this little braided um bow and this little bell. I don't know. It didn't originally come with that little bell. I started adding the little bell. So, when you see a picture, if if the bells are available, then yours will come with a bell, but if it ain't available, then it don't come with a bell.

[00:10:05]But yeah, here is the Qula challenge.

[00:10:07]So, we're going to commit to this. We got to start saving, adding this to our savings. Y'all, I got sidetracked. I don't know. My boss called and I'm like, I don't even know what I was talking about, y'all.

[00:10:19]>> [laughter] >> I don't even know what I'm talking about.

[00:10:22]Next challenge we're going to do is our Roth. And y'all, I when I went to the bank, I didn't even think about getting small bills for this challenge at all.

[00:10:35]Well, we're in April. So, these bills are big, but whatever. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. So, that is 210 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100.

[00:10:49]That is 300 15 16 17 18 10 11 12 13 14. So, this is $314, which is what? Two of these should equal 157 + 157 314.

[00:11:10]Let's put that on there. This thing is probably like super thick.

[00:11:18]Yeah, cuz I don't know if I want to put that Hold on, cuz my little things are about to come off. There we go.

[00:11:26]And this is our Roth IRA, y'all. We have been so doing so well in our Roth.

[00:11:31]I have seen some like movement on my investments. I did make a post about which investments I had invested in. I think they have grew like $60, 60 extra dollars or something like that. I I got like one of each stock, so it's not even like enough to like actually get any like thing back from a dividends or whatever the case may be, but the stocks itself have grown and made me some money.

[00:11:58]So, I'm really excited about that long cuz for a minute it had Soon as I bought the stocks, it had went low and I was like, "Bitch, why why are y'all Why am I losing money?

[00:12:13]I just put the money in." But one thing about it, even though they was going lower, I still continued to buy every time I got some money, I put some more money in till I got four stocks because I knew when it went back up, I was going to make some money off of it cuz I'm buying it real cheap and it all went back up and I think I'm up like some money in the challenge, so.

[00:12:36]I was excited about that.

[00:12:41]Okay, y'all, this is my next thing, but we're not going to stuff that here because I don't want this video to be long, but this is my alpha books save savings challenge where we save A through L and this challenge saves you $600. It is on my coffee in a black binder and you can change this to be whatever color you want. People get purple, orange, green, lime green, whatever, whatever, whatever. And it always have a few dollars in here, but we're saving the $24 that we're supposed to save every week in here.

[00:13:15]I don't think we save the $24 every week. I think we save it every other week. So, I'm just showing y'all that I am saving the funds and putting them in here for when we do a dedicated video because last time we did a dedicated video on this and I think that's what I'm going to do this time which is a dedicated video.

[00:13:36]It will be Okay y'all, so this is our challenge that we're doing. This challenge These five challenges help you save $1,100.
