The Struggle Budget
United States
Приєднався 25 гру 2011
Hello! Welcome..... I am a single mom looking to survive the current "transient" inflation debacle and to build the budgeting community together. We need more unity and less divisiveness. I am hoping we can have some fun along the way. I am primarily focusing on budgeting, cash stuffing, savings games and challenges and anything new I can think of to keep it fun and interesting.
Mini Monday December 2nd - Playing to Save!
Join me in a quick game to save some money to beef up my sinking funds for current and future bills.

Saving Challenges Double the Amount & Mystery Savings
Went out this year but it was at 10am. Wasn't too bad but didn't spend much and was on what was needed. My mother and I don't do a gift exchange and don't tend to buy others gifts. I do want to send two- three packages 📦 of things I got months ago but they don't have to be for Christmas 🎁.
I keep looking for true cash budget people who aren’t trying to sell their Etsy shop items
Hahaha 😂 I wonderf how many of us are watching at night, cause me too I watch at night... and day and morning... hmmm I wonder if am addicted!? 😅🤣
😊😊😊😊
Hi Alicia! Here watching before bed
47 here.. I remember the OG Karate Kid.. We watch it when my 3 grown kids are at my house at one time. The ONLY time that I shopped Black Friday was the year Tickle Me Elmo came out. My 28 year old son was an alll about that dude. I refuse to EVER do that crap again! About caught a case over the nitwit shoppers trying to snatch things. I am not patient with crazy Karens on a regular day. Even worse on a sale shopping day.😂
Yes, don´t duck with me. Love it! 🩷
Taxes…almost done… nice job
Yay for ending with no IOU❤
Happy Holliday savings! 🩷
Thank you! I need to kick it into gear!
It’s not about the bugle……I agree 100%😅
I think that saving idea was a stroke of genius.
Thanks..... but I am not sure it is working 100% because I still feel a little guilty! 😄 I may need professional help!
Happy Saturday, 😊
Soooo😅 groceries, bills, household essentials, if anything left 😅😅save that..
I think that falls under stuff, unstuff, save, repeat....... over and over again! LOL!
I have been really enjoying your channel! I think you have a similar personality to JaCie from TheBlessedDaisyBudgets and love her channel too! Great video my friend❤
Awe! Thank you! I really like watching your challenges too! They are so organized! I love organization and sometimes my stuff is a hot mess!
New subbie 🥰 Awesome saving
Hi! Thank you for subscribing! And thank you for the freebies!
Hi!!! Holy cow $47 I would have passed out hahahaha I did end of up going shopping yesterday and was shocked at how quiet the stores were, was great! Hahaha
I kind of did!!! It knocked me speechless, which is kind of hard to do. THANK goodness it was on a binder where I had a little extra money because most of my saving money is around $100. That would have been half of it in 1 scratch. I see some people scratch those big numbers and I just can't fathom. Some day maybe..... I was wondering if it was going to be quiet yesterday. People are short on funds and so many shop online now. I am off Monday. Maybe I will venture out to the stores, even though it is "Cyber" Monday.
👀47🙀
I know!!!! I was like really? do I need to get my glasses on or something?!?!
I shop mostly on. If I have to have something from a physical store, I sent my daughter.
That is a great idea........ except when it is a surprise for her. I guess I could go tell her to pick out something she likes for a gift for someone else and then I could wrap it up for her!! lol!
😊
My favorite video thus far😊
When you said $47… I was like WTF… WHOA, so I slowed the video down. I backed it up, and I read in the right hand corner it reads $1~$50. I think that meant $1 to $50 range …and that was crazy and I would’ve ripped up the card and said we’re done it never would’ve seen $47 of my money.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂…love the video..❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lol! I was in shock and was kinda like..... uhhhh. Really? You want that much?!?!? Dang that one is scary. It is causing me some PTSD!
New subbie here, from Ang's shout out. .😊😊
Thank you for visiting and subscribing. Ang is the best!
Your binder is blinging! haha. Love it! Happy savings.
I love that binder! AND it holds a lot! Now I just need a lot to fill it!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Thank you! Now I feel all tired and hung over from the holiday and I didn't drink a thing!!!
Happy Thanksgiving ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Thank you!! Now today I feel the holiday hangover and I didn't drink ANYTHING!!
@ I too feel the holiday hangover but I drink a lot lol
Happy Thanksgiving❤
Right back at ya! Hoping your holiday was relaxing! Are they ever really though?
I love having a fund for when guests come to visit! Thanks so much for the shoutout. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 🥰🤗 11:29
I was missing out on the Guest Fund for so long and every time someone came to visit I was caught short. NO More!! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃❤
Thank you!! I hope yours was a good one. I am tired now. Time to recover to get ready for the second holiday.😁
New subbie!!!! Sent by Ang! Love the video! 😊
Hi! Thanks for visiting and subscribing. Ang is the best!!
Hi, here tuning in ❤❤
Hi! Thank you for stopping by!
You are doing great job! ❤
Thank you! Sometimes it doesn't feel like it but when I look back I am making some progress!!
Great video❤. You are making some great progress❤
Thank you! That month ahead is some slow going, but life is moving so fast I don't even really notice how slow it is! 😂
Great job friend. Stay with it. You’re gonna be a month ahead before you know it also I think you should put the hundred dollars in a Ohio account in separate vault so you can still track it but you can earn interest it all adds up.
HI! What is an Ohio account? I do have a high interest savings but I don't have a lot of other bank accounts.
Nee subbie here, came from ang's page. I had to switch from A6 to an A5 too. My A type personality needs lots of envelopes for all my stuff! 😂
Hi! Thank you for subscribing. That is me exactly! I have to see all the things! I have a feeling I have to get a bigger binder but I am just pretending I will not have to right now. 😂
I wanted to know what the three dollar mistake was. I was like oh I hope she counts the money.___ it’s cool though just let me know in the next video happy Thanksgiving❤
You watch so closely!! 😃 I believe the issue was that I had to make change prior to when I started the video and I didn't add the right amount to my Stuffing stack. But I can easily cover a $3 mistake it is the bigger ones that drive me a little bananas.
Hi, New Subby here💕 Ang sent me. lol on the lawn guys. I have that problem in the summer bc they change the days they come quite a bit.
Hi! Thank you for subscribing! LOL I was sooooo frustrated by them. I had already started the video and then they popped up. I should have just waited until they were gone, but I was already so late in doing my cash stuffing it was get it done or die! 🤣🤣
Hello, here watching 🙂
Right back at ya!! 🧡💜💙💛
Hi Alicia! Here listening!
I am pulling an Ang! Working and listening! lol 😁
New Subscriber! Coming over from Ang Budget and Debt. I started about 10 years ago with Dave Ramsey too. When I first starting doing it I had a very similar spreadsheet and did something very similar to what you are doing here in this video. LOL with the lawn people. In my videos it’s my dogs with Amazon deliveries, so I get it. Hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving! Looking forward to following along with your budgeting journey. 💕
Hi! Thank you for visiting. Yes, I mean I do appreciate the work they do because if they didn't do it I would outside mowing and it would take me a lot longer than 10-15 minutes. it was just not a good day to do the stuffing, and I was already so late doing it! lol. Oh well it is all done now. So you say you started out the same way. Have you changed things to do it differently now? I feel like I am missing out on some different ways to do things and I keep looking for new ideas.
@@TheStruggleBudget I started with a spreadsheet similar to yours and cash envelopes, but I was not tracking spending in the beginning. I was like well if we have enough in the envelope we can spend, if we don't we can't. But I quickly realized that needed to be tracking too, and started doing it in an Erin Condren Deluxe Monthly planner, which is just a planner with a monthly spread, and notes pages in between the months, and I used the notes pages for tracking my spending. That was working, but I just felt like it was time consuming doing everything "manually" and I felt like I was always running to the bank to take money out or redeposit it. So I started to explore apps and software, and ended up deciding on YNAB ( You Need A Budget), so now my budgeting done digitally through the app/website. 💕
Hey Alicia! Oh my God, do I understand your struggles with lawn crew! So funny!😂 here, listening in while I work. Oh I had to Crete an all new SS acct too! I thought I had done that already and didn’t know they got hacked! 💕
Lol I almost lost my mind and quit filming...but when I watched it I had to laugh..... 😐
Hi, New subscriber here watching .Ang budget and debt sent me😊
Awesome! Thank you! She is so awesome!! There are so many budget channels I can't find them all and she is doing a LOT to make that happen.
@TheStruggleBudget She really is a great person, She was one of the bigger channels that helped me out when I first started as well .
Hey! New subbie Ang sent me over. Glad be here! ❤❤
Hi! I see you do the electronic budgeting. I am old school with the paper money. If I can't see it and touch it it doesn't exist! Well actually it does exist! And it is too easy for me to spend that way. 😁
@TheStruggleBudget I definitely empathize. I very recently went to electronic budgeting- I've always done paper. AND I still do our variable expenses with cash stuffing and cash envelopes. For the same reason. It did WONDERS for our budget to have it in cash. Even when I spend on a credit card, I have cash to pull from as it helps me to see and comprehend my limits!
I am rooting for the penguin to finish in December $125 would be a great present.
Yes it would!
I feel for your "brainfog" .. I have the same issue do to low iron! So don't worry about it! You did great ! 💜
You are so nice to say so! When I go on vacation everything shuts down including my brain. Lol!
Awesome gametime friend! Congratulations on the finished challenges! 😁🎉💜
Another fun video!
Great job saving!!!
Thank you!!
Happy tiny micro day! 🩷
Thank you!!
Hi, a new subbie here 😁 I'm gonna hang around because I like your humour and no-nonsense attitude 😉 All the best! ☀️
Hi! Welcome. I have been told that before. I seem to be a little more "firm" in my choices. lol 😁
