  • Sharing some basic budgeting tips that helped me save to move out on my own. I used to feel so intimidated and overwhelmed when it came to money, so these are things I wish I knew when I was younger. Although I'm no expert, this is what has worked for me, and hopefully you'll find it helpful! :)

    After living on your own wether renting or getting a mortgage : try to live on half of your incothme for several months. It will build you a great savings and challenge your creativity.
    Follow people with financial goals or situation as you in social media so you don't feel left out 😉

      Yes, I love that! And it's so true - social media plays a huge role in people overspending. We get tempted to buy things we see other people have, or there's this sense of needing to have fancy things to show off online.

    I recently opened a 3rd bank account because someone on youtube recommanded it, not sure if it was you on a previous video or not but it has helped so much already🎉🎉🎉 now i have a real saving account where i know not to touch, a regular bank account where i put all my bill money and a third one for just regular spending. Im glad iv always sucked so bad at managing money. My next goal is to pay off all ny credit card debts 💕

    In addition to having different cards (which this has worked wonders for me as well) is having an online savings account. Find a savings account that yields interest and that you don’t have an actual card for it. This should be worth 3-6month (or whatever) expenses in case of an emergency or laid off or whatever but have savings that you don’t see or touch!!

    also! if anyone has cc dept I recommend saving and stacking to put more money on your cc to use not cash for anything. It helps you build your credit to move and then u can apply for a higher credit limit and that is an extra boost there getting approved

    Great tips, Sam! You might like the channel, "The Financial Diet" here on UA-cam! I love that it's run by a woman and she gives very practical and realistic tips for financing. She doesn't even have any credentials in finance, she just does a lot of research and has great tips from personal experience. Credit cards can definitely be tempting for some people, but if you budget your monthly expenses appropriately like you suggested and pay off the bill in full each month so you don't accrue interest, it's a great way to build your credit score. My husband and I basically only use our credit cards to pay for -everything- and then we pay them off each month in full. Which is another tip, that whenever possible, save for something and pay it off in full rather than taking out a loan. Obviously, this isn't practical for everything like a house but it's a great way to avoid getting yourself in a hole and paying unnecessary interest. One of my best budget tips is to buy in bulk! Costco and similar stores are your best friend. It might seem more expensive upfront if you pay 200 each time. BUT you won't have to go take little trips to the grocery store and end up buying stuff you don't need (and also using gas to make those little trips). It can definitely be hard if you live in a small space to find storage for bulk items sometimes, but if you get a little creative sometimes, it's possible!
