Hey everyone!!! Follow me on my journey to save up for my first home :) I am a single mom and I don't make a lot of money, I know there will be a few bumps in the road. This may take me longer than the average person but I am determined to buy a home for my daughter and I.

Good job on utilizing stuff from your freezer!
Love the new binder! ❤
Love your videos! ❤
Your savings challenge is very inspiring! ❤
Nice new wallet!
Awesome cash stuffing 💌
You may want to see if your Walmart Plus includes Paramount streaming.
@@planningfoodmoneywithmiche7868 thanks, yes paramount is included with Walmart plus. I don’t watch much on paramount but it’s nice to have for free. Also the gas discount is really nice! Pretty much pays for my membership.
Good job. You had more money than I had leftover after paying bills. I paid rent and only had $53 left. I made it work though. We have those low weeks as well. I’m glad you still showed your budget though. Keep up the good work. I hope you and Savannah have a good week❤
@@DiaryofaSingleMom-ov7xf Thank you. Yeah the low weeks are tough but as single moms we always figure it out ❤️
@ right one thing a single mom is going to do is to make it happen regardless.
new subbie❤ thanks for sharing. Hope too see you on my channel as well😊 Im not a gig worker but still on a budget to get a house as well. Happy savings
@@KeepingItKurvy Thanks for joining 😁
I’m glad you’re on the mend. Next week will be better, I hope you’re so busy you double the average take home! Appreciate you sharing this video.
@@BonnieStephens-i5u Thanks 🥰
What a blessing to help with car repairs and to be able to kickstart that savings challenge! 🎉
I love your positivity even when life gets tough with car repairs. 😊
That's so unfair about the parking tickets.
Wow! You replaced your brake light? You are so resourceful! ❤️
@@nancydexter2371 It’s actually very easy! I encourage everyone to try it sometime. 😁
This video was extremely helpful to understand your process. ❤
@@nancydexter2371 thanks ❤️
Check with your power company to see if they will set up payment averaging. My provider offers it and I know how much my monthly payment will be.
@@MMA-ki3pm thanks for the advise I’ll have to look into that. ❤️
Love yr haul❤my daughter is obsessed with lip oils and yes these looks fab❤
@@She_has_got_it ❤️ Thanks! My fav lip oil so far from dollar tree is, la colors dragonfruit. But for only $1.25 all the lip oils have been great so far in my opinion.
Hi beautiful love yr vibes❤new subscriber here and look for-to yr journey ❤yr travel binder its do cute also love yr setup
@@She_has_got_it Thanks for joining 😁 Any questions or suggestions don’t hesitate to ask 😁
Hi new subscriber here from my budgeting channel 😊 I just found your page, I hope you get better soon
@@blessedbudgetsbyAbigail Hi Abigail! Thanks for joining! 😁 And thank you very much, I’ve been doing a lot better this week 😁
New subbie! I also don't cash stuff my bills as I have that money in a saving account but I do keep track of that money in a binder with expense trackers. So every time I am paid, I move money to my bills account and keep track of it in my bills binder, then move the money back to my checking account where those bills are taken out. So the money isn't sitting in my checking account "to be spent" it is safe in my Bills saving account for the majority of the month.
@@CanadianFinanceJourney Welcome! 😁That’s a very clever method. I would definitely do that if I ever decide to get out of the cash envelope system.
Listening while working. I am catching up on videos.
Hi Alex 👋 new subscriber 🎉 great video 😊🩵
@@thebudgetevolution welcome!!!! I’m glad you joined. 😁 if you have any questions done hesitate to comment. I try to respond to everyone 😁 And thanks so much!
WHO pays $200 for rent? and does the father of the child not pay child support/alimony etc? if not, go to court and GET IT.
This a weekly budget so the rent is $792 a month! She is in reduced rent housing so that's why it is quite low! Yes he does pay child support, she has mentioned this in lots of her older videos but she doesn't mention it now cos of privacy I guess!
Hey Lauren, yes I get paid weekly so I figure out what my bills are weekly. And yes my daughter’s father pays child support. Since I no longer share the current amount of money I have saved so far, I no longer mention child support. (I put all child support into savings) I try to keep my new subscribers in the loop, so I will definitely mention a couple of things in an upcoming video 😁
@@kim1981D Thanks Kim ❤️
@@alexdoesitallThat's ok, wasn't sure if she was coming across as a bit off, or I just mistook it that way! Just sounded that way to me x
@@kim1981D I agree ❤ sometimes it’s hard to tell through someone typing verses in person.
I love that miniature fireplace. Is that a wax warmer?
@@leedezern6862 thank you, yes it is 😁
New subbbie here great video 🎉
@@IntriguedByDollars thanks so much ☺️ Thanks for joining! 😁
Your Dollar Tree has lots of good times, the one by my home is severely lacking. Those lip oils would make a nice stocking stuffer. I hope I get lucky when I go.
@@BonnieStephens-i5u I plan on filling my daughter’s stocking with dollar tree items 😁 I always go to dollar tree a few times a week. I use to only go once a week and didn’t have much luck.
Nice cash stuffing. I hope you find the medication needed to feel better at the Dollar Tree. I’ve never bought meds there, I’m sure it’s name brand but in a smaller quantity.
@@BonnieStephens-i5u thanks 😁 I found some, not name brand but it did its job 😁
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Your daughter is doing a GREAT JOB❤
@@KeepingItKurvy thanks ☺️
How many hours would you say you worked that week ?
@@aunniefannie27 I work while my daughter is at school so I would say 35 hours per week.
@alexdoesitall that's great I work 6 days about 35 ish hours and make decent money myself
@ that’s great to hear! 😁
What do you find is the beat way to pay yourself daily pull or once a week on a specific day if you don't mind me asking? Still working out the kinks in my own budget way
❤
Is the 15% you save every paycheck for taxes or your house savings?
@@robinmiles862 Great question. So initially the 15 percent was for taxes but at the end of the year I always receive money back. I claim my daughter and I’m low income. Also I have a lot of deductions too like miles. So now it’s just savings for a house. I budget for any major car repairs or anything expensive so I never touch my savings.
Happy to hear you’re feeling better. I’m glad you had a good work week despite being sick.
Thanks 😊
Glad you’re feeling better 💚
@@ItsKarla250 thank you 😊
I hope you feel better! Thanks for sharing while you’re sick!!!!
@@IamKaraBrown-l3i thanks so much ❤️
You have a nice dollar tree! I can’t find hardly any of those items here in Atlanta and I’ve been on a hunt for the hand sanitizer for months!
@@KiraLateece I actually found most of these items out of town near my mom’s house. She lives close to a richer neighborhood and I always have really good luck there. But I found the hand sanitizer at my store. I noticed they got a new truck in so I went in every morning to check and I found a hand sanitizer still in the box!!!! I grabbed the sucker and ripped it open with my keys 🤣 it was a good day. Don’t be afraid to look at unopened boxes, they have photos of what’s inside. 😁
@ yessss I need to find out what days their shipment comes in! I’m determined to find that hand sanitizer lol
@ Yes girl get that hand sanitizer! lol took me 3 weeks to get mine. Don’t give up!
Thank you for sharing your Dollar Tree haul. Guess where I’m shopping tomorrow? Dollar Tree! Hopefully I’ll find items similar to yours but my Dollar Tree is very small.
@@BonnieStephens-i5u oh the hunt, it’s so fun to see what you can find! 😁 I found most of my good items when I go visit my mom. She’s very close to a richer neighborhood. I always find the best stuff there.
Such a great video can’t wait to see another Dollar Tree haul. You should do a grocery haul sometime
@@brendaslechter1986 thanks 😁 you’re right it’s been awhile since I’ve done a grocery haul!
Where did you get the inserts in your 100 envelope binder?
I actually bought the binder and envelopes together for only $9 on amazon. The last link in the description. :D
Yes. A budget binder will be a great start for her. If you have used savings trackers or envelopes this this will help her vastly. I like how she stretches her allowances.
@@ACCOMPLISHEDSHEIS thanks I’m so proud of her!
My hubby had a warranty on his brakes and had to go in every 5-6 months to have the break pads replaced. It’s a racket, we will never take our vehicles there for any type of car repair. The only positive thing I can sat is that they are open on the weekends in case you’re in a dire situation.
@@BonnieStephens-i5u yikes I had my brake pads replaced by them too 😬 I hope you guys found a nice repair shop. I got some good recommendations but all those shops are booked and hardly have openings 😭 That is so true Midas always has a lot of openings and weekend availability was awesome.
Can’t wait to see your dollar tree haul. Good job managing a tight budget, hopefully the holidays will be a big “win” for you.
@@BonnieStephens-i5u thanks 😁 crossing my fingers too. Last year made $1,000 per week around the holidays! 😁😁😁
What do you spend per week on groceries? Im trying to spend less
@@melissafowler3580 so I receive assistance for food. My budget is $50 a week which is usually enough if I’m careful. I always look in my fridge and freezer and plan out meals based on what expires soon or what I have. That helps alot! Also we cut out red meat, we mainly eat chicken because it’s healthier and more affordable. I also buy in bulk and freeze what I can. I also try to bake any desserts and I’m looking into making my own bread! 😁 hope some of these tips helps!
Hey friend. New subbie from the budgeting community here . Love your setup. That six flags deal sounds really good. Glad you were able to do that for you and your daughter. Great breakdown.
@@AreliBudgets thanks so much 😊
Another great video. Sorry about the quote at least you have your uncle to help you out.
@@brendaslechter1986 thanks 😁 Uncle Tom is the best!
😊
great video lovely! amazing amount saved from your daughter too! bless her! xx
Thanks so much! 😊
Huge props for still cash stuffing using your savings. Most on here only do so when they get income. Even if you use leftover cash, it gives an indication that saving regardless is mandatory to you. Blessed one.
Thanks girl! I love all the positivity you bring to my channel! :D
😊😊
Wow. We shop alike when it comes to buying more produced than processed foods. Oh. Need to try that peanut butter ice cream.
I was addicted to that ice-cream for months lol beware.... but now I'm addicted to Jolly rancher gummies.
Yes. More shopping hauls. Oh, that “ Budgeting 101” is the truth. Do watch financial guru Suze Orman’s show. I learn how to invest from her saving’s strategies.
I'll have to make some more haul videos! Its been awhile. Thank you for the tip, I'll have to look into financial guru Suze Orman's show.
