Awhile ago wasnt Tawra talking about how FOOD PRICES havent gone up? Well, we shall debate that later.
But what Tawra doesnt get about ppl who are poor, is that they still have to wash their clothing, and do a myriad of other things that
the prices have gone up on.
Oh also, food prices might not have gone up , BUT Tawra, WAGES havent increased by much since YOU quit working 20 years ago. I think YOU and your Mom are out of touch.
Someone might be going along okay, then suddenly their car gives out or they get into an accident. Suddenly they cannot get to any of their 3 jobs or pick their kid up from day care (most day cares have late pick up penalty fees) so suddenly they are without a car or job and they now owe $2000 for both their car and the Day Care late fee. AND its Halloween and the school hayride is coming up and Johnny needs a costume.
How do you save money if you are constantly putting out FIRES???
Im reiterating this and adding to it. since tawra, mike, jill havent been employed in a few decades, I dont think they get how the job market is nowadays. In order for YOU to get a good paying job or even Walmart, you need to have good credit. You cant get good credit if you are constantly in flux. So poverty keeps going.
This is why some poor ppl start selling drugs or doing other things.
Tawra you are out of touch.

I wish she would tell or advise a person on how to get out of poverty. She believes that everyone makes over $100,000 a year. I have asked her about it, but of course, I never got an answer. We live in a rural area where there are few jobs. I am trying to make make some money with my Poshmark store and affiliate links, but so far, none of these has even made a dent on any bills. My vehicle is needing repairs, my refrigerator broke and I am trying to do what I can. I work for a virtual call center, but either the IBO is taking money out of every paycheck to pay for her giving me my paycheck, and/or the platform I work for takes money out of every paycheck just for the pleasure of working for them. And most are pay per talk minute. The one place is that way, and they do not pay for the work I put in after the call ends.
Yes, any thoughts or answers would be very much appreciated. But she has none.
I wrote a post about this, but that DDOS Blocker on the site deleted it, So Im taking my time rewriting it.

This PBS video was really out together well on why it's simply more expensive to be poor.
This doesn't solve your issue Amelia. You may have to move. You may have to seek government assistance. It sounds like the local community there is not thriving. It also sounds like you live in a place without reliable public transportation which adds to this problem as you "have to have" a car to really get around. It also sounds like you might have to make a lot of sacrifices which sounds crazy because you're already doing without. I'm sorry. But it may help to hear you're not alone and I understand how frustrating it is.
Even credit counseling or budget assistance not-for-profit agencies work with banks so you can't trust anyone to help you with your finances except yourself, especially these "financial gurus" on YouTube.
I also disagree that Tawra is not poor. She has been poor in the past when she refused to work was "sick". She is definitely not rich. Her predicament is laughably middle class and to state she can help others get rich is hilarious.

If Tawra was as poor as she says how can she keep getting mortgages?
I believe looking at it, that Tawra and fam have never been poor POOR. I also think she/they engage in slight of hand speaking.
People who are Poor Poor cannot get mortgages. How did Tawra get the mortgage on their current house after abandoning the Idaho
house?
Like Jill and Tawra talk about how they survived on what was it, $500 a month, but what about the disability and welfare checks Jill mentioned
in passing? How did they feed, clothe, and pay the mortgage, home owners insurance, auto stuff, local taxes on $500. They had to have other money
they arent mentioning. The mortgage on my first house was $540 (one half of a twin) what about water, sewer, trash?

I think couple living on minimum wage for the time they did qualifies them as poor. Just because there is more poor is relative and a downward slope argument. There are peasants still in this world. And the poor were given mortgages like candy causing the housing crisis.
That said, she is disconnected with reality. Their philosophy screams "ok boomer". And she seriously fails to see how lucky she got.
Big surprise: most of the planners won't ship in time for Christmas. What could possibly go wrong with a planner designed in November and printed in December?
I just can't with these people. She's unable to get her recipe supplies together for a show, she can't follow a recipe without a mistake, she can't get organized early enough to get her planners out on time. Do you think she recognizes the irony in being too unorganized to sell a planner? Seriously.

I read this when you posted it, and agreed at that time, but I have a question now...
What proof is there that they were living on minimum wage? Their words? I dont believe a word they say.
You get an Emmy and you are living on minimum wage?
This is the only show I thought she was telling the truth about

I don’t know, but judging from what she’s shown us, it doesn’t seem extraordinary. I mean, the layout is pretty basic, the pages are standard size, it’s in black and white.... anyone with decent computer skills could create exactly the same thing in Word or Excel. (Actually, I have created similar lists and calendars for myself.) Add that to the fact that they start on January 1st but won’t actually be delivered by January 1st and you’ve got a big steaming plate of fail.
As for the gift packs, I don’t see the appeal. The planners are mediocre, the price book and budgeting book are the same (and could easily be recreated or just listed in a notebook,) and the recipes are on their website. I guess the apron is an apron?
I really don’t see why so many people buy their stuff and keep them in business. It would seem that buying a pile of stuff that you could diy pretty cheaply is not a good way to grow rich.

LMAO! Yeah, not surprised. Are they offering refunds? Or is she just going to blame her printer or the mail?

No one needs these paper planners if you have a smart phone. NO ONE. Theres all kinds of FREE digital planners which even alert you when its time to do things or alert you to birthdays and so forth. No one needs these planners Tawras selling. I just use a Note Pad file on my computer.
LOOK UP COZI planners Or DREAMIE planners. Dreamie is so pretty.
WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

But according to her, they are selling! I love how she starts to say something and her son yells, don't say anything. Don't mention anything! Apparently what they are doing is super secret!!!

Because they are doing illegal things and don't want anyone to know.. They are far from poor people..

Hey Tazzy If you wanna PM me here and tell me what you think is going on, please do so. I have been seeing a few things but nothing I can prove. Maybe we are on the same page.

I figured Id do a grab bag post while we wait for Tazzymommy to return...
Lets talk about Tawras cake making... Tawra, its fine for you to put all your cake ingredients together in one bowl and combine them together at once for YOUR family's eating, BUT what Tawra doesnt get about cake making is that the reason you mix the wet first, then mix it into the dry, is so you dont over develop the gluten resulting in a rubbery or tough cake. This is why Cake flour is low gluten to make a tender cake with a fine crumb. But you arent using cake flour.
So if you care about the quality of your baked goods mix the wet first then the dry.
Fine crumb, coarse crumb
Lets move on to Tawra saying (not verbatim) "You dont deserve anything" in regards to poor ppl rewarding themselves with a Manipedi at the nail salon...
What I absolutely hate is "RICH" self employed people (who can wake up at 11am or noon if they want), telling ppl who work outside the home (sometimes 2 to 3 jobs) what they deserve or not. Most of these people work very hard thankless jobs. The kind of jobs that ACTUALLY KEEP THIS COUNTRY MOVING. Most of these ppl have 1-2 kids and might be single moms. The only time they have in their lives to have adult conversation and time without kids, job, responsibilities...IS treating themselves to a mani pedi. During a Mani Pedi, they have human contact, a massage, and QUIET!
They may not be able to afford a 7 week trip to Europe, but a 25-45 dollar Mani Pedi is what they can afford.
Tawra you are out of touch.
Next up Tawras insistence that USED cars are cheaper than NEW.
The question is, would you rather have a car (and car payment) that you know the history of and know its not gonna break down in the snow with 3 kids and the dog on the highway?
Tawra, the thing is that NEW cars have safety features that outweigh the cost of having a car payment.
I bought a new car this year after 20 years of Used. It has a backup camera and sensors all over the car that will trigger the BRAKES and stop the car if it detects someone walking near the car. This makes it impossible to get into an accident. Therefore my insurance is less then my last used car.
This is my last car. I expect to go 10 years without a $2500 car repair (sometimes 2-3 times a year) that I had with all of my used cars.
First of all a good used car is not $2000 or less. Tawra constantly talks about her cars breaking down. A used car is not worth the stress and worry.
A used car is a crap shoot. You truly do not know the history of that car. I bought a used van years ago and it turned out to have been a fire car.
It had a short that would trigger the windshield wipers when I went over a speed bump.
Yes its a lot of money, yes its a loan and a payment. But a new car gives you peace of mind for at least 10 years or more if you take good care of it. Plus the safety features save money. I wonder how many used cars Tawra and fam have bought over the years which broke down, had to be repaired or junked? BTW you can only repair your own car if you have a house and your own driveway. What about those ppl who live in an apartment etc?
Tawra never thinks about the whole picture.
So if you can get a new car, get one, and pay down the loan asap. The peace of mind is worth it.

Lol,yes. She is talking about her cars breaking all the time. Getting a rental and using Uber at the rate her cars break doesn't seem worth it. I have only seen 250k mile beater for under $2000. Many ads state the cars don't even run. I'm sorry, my time is valuable. I don't have time to "shop around" looking for a diamond in the rough. And her"diamonds" all sound like cubic zirconia.
