  • Today, I am bringing you with me on my budgeting journey. We will be going over the paycheck that I received on January 5, 2019.
    I have been sharing my real budget for over a year on Instagram, but this will be my first time sharing it on UA-cam. By sharing my actual budget, I hope to show you the process and steps behind paycheck budgeting. I also hope it helps you understand the psychological decisions behind money management.

    That is great! I used that method two years ago when I was learning what to do with my money. Now,. I use a similar method but use spreadsheets on my computer and only use physical cash for our weekly spending allowance which includes groceries and our "allowance" money. Every other transaction is done online so that I only have to go to the ATM and not spend so much time figuring out the bills. It has been working so far and I hope to continue to pay off my debt.

    Oh and I didn’t find you on IG. I found you here on You Tube and bought your budget binder. So don’t be discouraged by you tube. You’re doing amazing. I find watching IG stories irritating because it breaks you in between your words. Not your fault just how it works.

    The paycheque budget rather than monthly is going well so far for this month! I ca;see I’ll be able to squeeze more out of my left over spending categories and transferring it to a savings goal (trip) rather than it somehow getting spent or fading away when I look at money monthly, so far so good! Thank you for the ideas!

    @Carol_-tv6jv 5 років тому

    I just found your channel and think I'm going to like your way of explaining financial things because I think you break it down to really easy-to-follow steps. I'm a real visual learner and just several minutes into the video I see how you're using your calendar and also the forms look really helpful. I need to see how I'm making progress, help with long& short-term goals. And like you said, there's a lot of psychology involved in our finances Budgeting & financial planning is so important but so elusive to acquire a method that works... I've almost lost hope in being successful with this, but I'm optimistic as I watch this video, and I'll check out your links. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this recording. :)

    I’m a new subscriber here. I’m very impressed with how easy you explained this system. I’m not new to this finance system as I have done a ton of research for many years on different methods. Nevertheless, even though I have my own spreadsheets I splurged on yours. I’m liking the way you are real about it and give us real numbers. So please, if you fail, share so I know I’m not alone. 🤣
    You are on point that there isn’t the reality of real numbers out there while doing research on financial planning.
    You got me hooked and I can’t wait to see what other videos you come up with. I am going to go and download my new spreadsheets that were discounted. 😉

    Your cash sinking funds are making me miss the cash sinking fund days!!! Omg! I used to do that, it wouldn’t work now, we use multiple savings accounts, but it used to be SOOOO FUN to put that cash in! I didn’t have many sinking funds back when I was a single mom paying off the debt, I think it was just Christmas/bday back to school and clothing but I loved it! Love these colouring envelopes, you are making my thrifted brown paper ones less appealing

    1) Do you have to use different cash envelopes for each paycheck?
    2) What do you categorize household goods/toiletries as? Grocery or Misc?

    Love your channel. Changed my life. Question. My fiancé & I combine paychecks since he gets paid biweekly & I get paid semi-monthly. Do you recommend starting our month on the day of that month’s first paycheck? For example, the first paycheck of February was 2/9 & the first paycheck in March will be 3/9. Should we date our month of February from 2/9-3/8 for closing our our monthly budget?
    Also, we have some regular bills that come every 6, 8, & 12 weeks. Should those go on our fixed expenses for the month? Ir would you recommend them categorized as variable expenses?

      @@thebudgetmom What a great idea! I hate having change in my envelopes because I'm afraid they'll fall out. Here in Canada we have coins for $1 and $2. They're big enough to notice if they go missing, but the little ones can get their own spot and go to a sinking fund.
