One Eleven Experience: Financial Warrior Series

🌿Day 14: When Life Teaches You How to Live

"I want you to understand:

You are not behind.

You are not failing.

You are not the only one who’s had to learn the hard way.

I had to learn from loss, fear, crisis, and survival.

But I also learned how to rise, rebuild, plan, and prosper.

I am a Financial Warrior — not because life was easy, but because I kept going.

And you can become one too."

❤️My Story:

Today is November 14th, and it will forever be my wedding anniversary.

This day always reminds me of the lessons my husband and I learned — and the lessons life taught me after he passed.

One of the most powerful principles we learned during marriage counseling was simple:

Live on one salary.

And we did.

Not because we had a lot.

Not because it was easy.

But because we wanted stability, discipline, and peace.

As life went on, that philosophy was challenged more times than I can count. Jobs changed. Kids grew. Emergencies happened. And still, we tried to hold on to what we knew worked.

But nothing prepared me for what happened next.

💔The Season That Changed Everything

Before my husband passed, his health began to decline.

At the same time, I had three young children to care for…

And then — my job was eliminated.

Panic didn’t hit me immediately.

I went into survival mode.

I told myself, “I’m going to show them. I can handle this.”

But life humbled me.

I learned very quickly that emotional decisions made in crisis lead you down a dangerous financial spiral.

And I went through it.

Those were hard days.

But they produced a stronger, wiser version of me.

🌱Rebuilding — Slowly, Intentionally, Faithfully

Once I found my footing again — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually — I returned to the principle we were taught:

Live on one paycheck. Save the rest.

And let me be honest:

This did not happen overnight.

It took discipline to build the habit.

It took patience to trust the process.

And it took courage to live differently from what I was seeing around me.

💚How I did it:

I started small:

Every paycheck, I saved something.

Every month, I committed to living in a way that protected my peace and my savings.

I only touched money I saved on purpose, never out of panic.

And the only way I could do that was because I knew exactly what my financial obligations were.

I had a plan.

I used my system.

I committed to three-month financial cycles.

And let me tell you — it works.

💚You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

I share all of this because I want you to know something:

You’re not behind.

You’re not failing.

You’re not the only one who’s had to learn the hard way.

Let’s walk this journey together.

Let’s build your plan, your discipline, your confidence, and your peace.

You can live differently. You can live wisely. You can live abundantly.

And I’m here to support you every step of the way.

✨Declaration for Day 14:

“I will not make emotional decisions. I will make intentional ones.

I commit to planning, saving, and building.

I am becoming a Financial Warrior.”
