I’m low income I started budgeting in February of 2021 with $10 and some dollar tree white envelopes putting $1 dollar in envelopes…. Just like she doing small amounts at the end of this video is exactly how I do mine and slowly it adds up
The grocery part I divide into 4 weeks just like her sometimes I can go under budget.. I designate what’s left weekly in the high priority as well which for me is my emergency fund.. and sometimes it may not be but $10-15 dollars extra monthly..I try to do $80 a month on a disability income..sometimes I may not have but $20 to add a month.. to that emergency fund and not $80 .. I don’t stress it as long as I save something..
Totally needed to hear the reminder that budgeting is a "journey not a destination". Love it!!! Message received! 💚
It's not just the USA where prices are going up it is also in other countries from what I heard .
I'm from the Netherlands and almost everything dubbeld in price, especially at the grocery store🥲
I am from Serbia (Balkan) and dudes.... Bills and groceries are going crazy, they are reaching skies 😂
Thank you for the encouragement. I have only been watching/subscribed for a few weeks. I was glad to find someone with low-budget to watch. I haven't started budgeting yet but the more i watch you the more I believe it is possible. Again thank you for the encouragement and for being real!!!
I am new to the fam but I did get the planner and your stickers for July. As a mom of 4 now I’ve been really buckling down on my finances and I’m loving all the relatable content and advice
Heyy, thank you so much ☺️ wishing you much success on your budget journey!
❤ New Sub. Really enjoyed the video! Nothing like seeing a fellow Texas Girl staying consistent in you Debt Free Journey! Ta-ta for now. ❤
Congratulations! My favorite donut is boston cream.
Hey Jenika! Thank for the words of encouragement and I definitely needed to hear it. My budget is finally getting back to normal after having high natural gas bills during the winter and unexpected car repairs. God will bring us through and we will come out on the winning side. Stay encouraged and enjoy your trip! I am going to do a self care weekend next month.
I liked when you put the sticker on the mistake you made on meds to me it was like a bandage for the paper I’m gonna do that for my budgeting mistakes.

I needed this push of encouragement!!❤❤ I been on the journey WITH you! It is happening to us all. And for everyone struggling to even start budgeting it’s a process and baby steps. I started out and LOVED it, was doing so well and saved so much then life happened and I had to take a break which hurt my feelings so bad but I’ve started back and just as excited even tho I had to start over but as you said it’s a JOURNEY. ❤
Thank you for sharing 😊

Start a storage for food. Canned meat, dry goods, and extra salt, sugars and flour😊
I have to put everything in my calendar. Lol I have one I carry in my purse and on my desk. I am that forgetful. Lol
A digital planner dupe for that EC would be amazing.
They said that cash breakdown is cute, we keepin it!!! 😂
I’m about to move out soon and start budgeting and I’m both scared and excited about it. Its gonna be a low income budget but better that than no budget, right? Just out of curiosity, where do you keep the binders in your house? I’m lowkey paranoid cuz I had people touch and mess with my stuff before and this binder is the last thing I want them to find lmao😂😂
Also great job on the video, I only found out about you recently but I watch your videos frequently to remind myself to stay consistent on budgeting so its very motivational for me ❤❤
😊
❤
thank you for the encourgement. Its all of us. But God will Bring us threw.

Lbvs. You said you have no shopping/spending habits. What do you do when you’re stressed or bored or triggered or upset? These are my shopping triggers.
Ur nails are pretty
🤑🤑🤑
Hey can you add an actual direct link to the planner that you have
Hi
.. I have a friend that lives alone...do you think it's cheaper to eat out or buy groceries as high as they are for someone that doesnt cook alot..?..
Dilema..🤔
The country is f'd, you're not alone we're all struggling. 4 years ago my average summer electric bill was $200, this summer is was $600. I'm not really making any more money than I was 4 years ago yet all my bills have drastically increased
You’re so right! Things really need to change in America and in the world, tbh!
😉🙃👍🏻
Anybody else notice her $1000 dollar bill 😨 those are extremely rare
MV ?
The cost of living is getting outrageous here in Australia
It's making this hard our power bill are averaging $1000 per quarter water $400 per quarter rants are $600 to $900 per week your very lucky if it's less and that's for a small home petrol is $1.85 per to $2 per litre and the price of food for my family of 7 Im spending $400-$500 per week there not making and the price's just keep going up we're also feeling the pressure
Great video
I loved that "journey not a destination"! Love to see another African American woman in the budgeting community! 🥰💙
Thank you ☺️
