I’m not a mom, but have mom friends. Noticed that people tend to forget about the moms once they have children. The gifts, the fun activities and all the other stuff become catered to the children. So I prioritize my friend over her kids. Moms need to be remembered!
Do you have any recommendations on what to get mom friends. My friend is the only mom I know and she just had her son Last November 2020. I have no idea what to get her.
@@MarkitaD get her a gift without thinking of it as a "mom gift". she's her own person with her own hobbies, preferences etc. just get her what she likes
Hi Aja! If I may give you an advice, for your friend who just had a kid, maybe you can give your friend a gift specifically for her. I think newly moms forget about themselves and it would be nice for them to get something for themselves and not for the kids. Just a thought 😊
I have been saving since January for Christmas and having just moved into our first place I have never been so thankful that I am ready for Christmas spending. Thank you for being an inspiration! 💰✨
I was so proud of myself for having my usual holiday budget sorted... but then I acquired a partner in September and basically he's not getting anything bcs I was 100% happy being single and didn't save any extra
I started saving for gifts at the beginning of this year, and it has helped TREMENDOUSLY! less stress and panic when it comes time to actually buying the gift lol
I’m so excited to share that my boyfriend and I just closed on our first home this week! Because of you, I have sinking funds for furniture/house stuff and for the holidays! 🙏
was sorting out my own holiday budget when this video came up! This is also the first year I am able to fully fund my holiday sinking fund! And for someone who has to travel across country to visit family for Christmas, YES! sinking fund save my wallet and I can see myself enjoy my time with them free from anxiety.
i started a sinking fund for christmas after watching that video. it feels really good knowing i have christmas covered already and we're still a month away. thank you!
Aja, I am super inspired by you. This year has been a struggle for me financially, but I know not to get myself down about it. Next holiday season I strive to follow in your steps and start a sinking fund Christmas 2022. Mahalo for this video 🤙
I move to a new country by myself this September, it's such heart breaking 💔 I'm far from my family but I'm so Happy and grateful to be where I am. So for this holiday season my plan it's stay on the budget
Love this! I overestimated my Christmas budget since people seem to want simpler things this year so I added some goodies to everyone's gifts and I still have some left. I'm either gonna gift myself something next year or I'm just gonna throw it to my misc savings. I love not getting overwhelmed with all the Holiday expenses this year
My roundtrip direct flight from Madrid to Chicago for the holidays was super inexpensive, too. I think airlines are still trying to recover from the COVID travel slump. Flights will never be this cheap again.
I created a Christmas/Gifts sinking fund last year and all of my 2021 gifts are purchased and paid for without the lingering credit card debt - it's so freeing! I still have money left over to use for any last minute fun christmas activities.
I saw this go up yesterday and KNEW I had to get my holiday gifts and spending in order last night! Watched it anxiety free this morning (those hotel prices tho sheesh)
Excellent tips!! Glad I did a holiday gifts sinking find this year. Out of the video topic but did you get your hair redone? Loving the color! Any tips on what to tell my hair colorist? 😬
Maybe order in NYE dinner from local people like you ordered during Covid to help companies. A good bottle of champagne, that sushi bake, and other take out goodies...have a small party at your place where friends bring a favourite take out thing from a local place. You all get to try new places and it is not all on you. While watching this I planned my sinking funds for next year and the day I will have them funded by.
I really like the breakdown you do for the holidays!!! I may need to start breaking it out this way as well. We have been saving all year for the holidays and it feels great knowing we have the money set a side. However, I am so behind on actually doing the shopping lol. Thank you for the inspiration!!!!
Every year my Christmas budget is between $700 and $800, which includes cost of my flight, gifts, and fun money. I visit my parents and get to stay with them so I don’t have to worry about paying for a hotel :) I decided for myself that any spending I do for thanksgiving and New Years has to come out of my regular monthly budget. I know this going into November and December so it helps me stay on track during the last few months of the year :) I rarely travel for those two holidays and I don’t ever host anything so it doesn’t make sense for me to have a separate budget! Also: I can’t believe plane tickets were that cheap fro you!! I’m guessing it’s because Hawaii still has travel restrictions. Flights to where my parents live normally run $300-$400 and right now they’re going for $600+ it’s bonkers! I tracked the prices and found a 1 day price drop and so I was able to stay within budget but plane ticket prices are all over the place this year
$1500 budget for a Christmas gift?!?!?! I spent $500 Ps5 for my bf’s Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gift (happens to be all on the same day) and feel super broke. My wallet is crying

Same here!! Echo your comment completely Ellie!
I like the format of seeing the computer screen + your face. Great video! I'm going to get started on my budget now💫
You've been serving looks these past few videos! You always look great, but the hair + makeup + clothes have been on another level.
I was so proud of myself for having my usual holiday budget sorted... but then I acquired a partner in September and basically he's not getting anything bcs I was 100% happy being single and didn't save any extra

You're the only person on UA-cam who makes Notion look appealing/natural to use
such a finance queen, love your personality, and thank you for spreading money knowledge!
You are giving me all the motivation of organizing my holidays for next year like this

Love this. We save for the holidays all year! It’s such a relief to have a chunk of money ready this time of year with all the extra expenses! 😍❤️💃🏻

Just in time for the upcoming holiday season! Thanks for making it earlier.
Love the New Year's Day breakfast idea! We'll probably cook, but even just planning a nice meal in advance would make the holidays less stressful.
absolutely!

Your hair and makeup!!! 😍 love all of your finance videos! Thank you!
I loved this budgeting video. So satisfying and motivating. I have to go make a spreadsheet now lol
I saw this go up yesterday and KNEW I had to get my holiday gifts and spending in order last night! Watched it anxiety free this morning (those hotel prices tho sheesh)

I'm working on it! Currently working on a MSTRPLN Wedding template and once that's done I'll do the dated template
@@AjaDang Fantastic! Can not wait. Thank you!
Off topic, but I love this look! The blouse, makeup, and hair looks so good together! 😍
thanks!!
LOVE THIS i can’t wait to go home from work and work on my holiday budget (smaller budget but i just love the look of the spreadsheet lol)
Excellent tips!! Glad I did a holiday gifts sinking find this year.
Out of the video topic but did you get your hair redone? Loving the color! Any tips on what to tell my hair colorist? 😬
Great video! Love seeing how other people do their holiday budget
P.s. the lip color looks amazing, thanks for leaving a link in the description!
These tips are exactly what made me feel calm going into Christmas shopping, I might make a similar budgeting video ❤️
"He's boujie" lmaooo
😅 when you hear that your birthday is overrated 😄
Thank you !! I’ve always wondered how ppl do budgets on Notion
I live for adulting videos cuz im still a baby adult

Crazy. Brian's ticket from LA to Houston was more than my trip to Hawaii!
This was great. Thank you Asia. I’ll definitely be saving more for next holiday
Aja you are amazing! Brian is so lucky
My mom used to work for southwest. I miss the free flights ):
Awwwww, it's so cute that your popo loves Burger King
she's a burger queen.
Great video! Also - What is your lipstick color? Love it
I enjoyed this very much
When you sighed and said “I’m getting heart palpitations” I FELT THAT lol loved this video tho!
Omg and then Brian and your little comment 😂
I always feel bad that my budget is not as big as my friends cos Im still in school and theyre working already :(
jesus i love you
$1500 budget for a Christmas gift?!?!?! I spent $500 Ps5 for my bf’s Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gift (happens to be all on the same day) and feel super broke. My wallet is crying
I've learned to be over-prepared for Brian. Fortunately, I think he's decided what he wants and it will be saving me $800 this year lol
Love your lipstick shade. May I ask what it is?
