    I need to sit down tomorrow and write mine down so I can start saving next month ! Most people explain sinking funds so complicated but I like how you explained it to the point ! Solid sinking funds sis ❤️️💁🏾😘

    You about to have me all the way right in 2018. Child I have never heard of a sinking fund but once you broke it down I was like do Jesus! I needed that idea like 10 years ago lol I will be putting some thought into it but that car maintenance was brilliant. 😉😘

    A Christmas sinking fund I started in September really helped me out for Christmas. 💁🏾‍♀️ it was my first time doing one. I’ve gotta sit down and do a list of new ones. I know car maintenance is definitely one especially now that my car is paid off.

    E.Michelle this budget planning was informative. It made perfect sense with you explaining it. I hadn't heard of a sinking fund, so I learned something new. I am proud of myself, bc I moved a little money from my checking to a savings account. I now realize I need to move it to another savings account, where I can't touch it the other is at the same credit union that has my checking account. I have been intimidated by saving money. This is my year to make it happen. Thanks for the advice.😊😊

  • @samanthacromer5378
    @samanthacromer5378 5 років тому

    Christmas would be another sinking fund to add. Save up.over the year and because you are saving a little at a time it's hardly noticeable but it adds up. For example I budget $300 for Christmas currently so that is 25 a month over 12 months and getting paid bi weekly it breaks down to $12.50 per paycheck.

    Wanted to say thank you. Your budget is more like mine... tight. I was feeling like EVERY video I watched dealing with sinking funds, the person has a job that brings in a LOT of $! Being able to put over 1,000 into various sinking funds...
    We are not so fortunate, although my husband finally got a job with an actusl career path, finally. We're still reeling from the time between jobs... still behind in payments, and never able to quite catch up. Thats when i started learning to budget and all of this.
    We're at pre-baby step 1 lol. I have hope now, that even with a tight income, i can STILL save money back. It might be 1$ here and there for a while, but i'm determined.
    Thank you for being realistic... for being REAL.

    Great video, I just subscribed to your channel and have been watching some of your videos. Shout out to Indiana as I live in Indianapolis. I am currently am saving for Christmas and also my daughter is in need of braces so I am saving for that. Oh and also we are taking a trip to Gatlinburg during the summer.

    • @MichelleElaineOfficial
      @MichelleElaineOfficial  6 років тому +1

    Do you have any advice for me, I’m a single mother and I work for my city school district, I make $19,300 a yr and my take home after taxes, union dues, etc is $510 every 2 weeks, I am trying to budget but I literally have zero dollars left after paying everything. Is this possible? I’m up right trying to figure out how I can make extra income because it’s really tough

  • @0rignallity601
    @0rignallity601 5 років тому +1

    So would you call saving for a purse money you take out from your personal spending or would you place it as a sinking fund?

    • @MichelleElaineOfficial
      @MichelleElaineOfficial  5 років тому +1

      I would create a sinking fund for it. Give yourself a goal date and figure out much you have to save a month to make it happen.

    • @0rignallity601
      @0rignallity601 5 років тому

      So, some is it a general decision a person will make if they choose to make something a sinking fund or personal fund?
      Also, what's the difference between having a "personal fund" or "Sinking fund?"
      I'm a overthinker lol it may sound repetative but i just want a clear distinction so that i may know how to label something I want under the proper category.

      I sure will. I started watching your videos and bought my first happy planner and budget extension pack in nov due to your videos. you are the only one I noticed who budget per check... and that truly helped me. I was always doing it in my head.. but to physically write things down and allocate makes a difference.

    • @MichelleElaineOfficial
      @MichelleElaineOfficial  6 років тому +1

      That makes me feel so good. Yes that’s exactly what i was doing and couldn’t figure out where my coins where going. Writing it down and planning it out i have saved sooo much !!!

    This may sound a bit crazy to ask. Do you have advice for single moms who want to budget on low income or dream plan for those who are unemployed. Cus guurrll i wish i had the same monthly income as you to pay off debt and bills and save to move on my own again. I feel as such a failure. I'm having a hard time finding employment opportunities right now. So im just curious if you have any advice

    • @Dee27dg
      @Dee27dg 6 років тому +4

      jenavione goiser What you will need to do is first gather all your essential bills I.e. grocery, rent, utilities, transportation. Then gather your monthly or bi weekly fixed income statement. Create a budget for the essentials ONLY. After that any extra funds allocate for a small clothing budget for the kids/yourself. With all that being said any extra money goes towards making all essential bills current. If bills are current begin to save a baby emergency fund of $500 .
