    Let’s take a look at sinking funds! This is just my thoughts on it and how I figured out what I needed to save for. I still have more in mind but for now this should realistically do! Who else think they need to add to theirs or just start in general!?!?

    Very informative and helpful video. Everyone needs to know it’s ok if you can’t stuff as much as others but save what works for your budget. Every little bit will still grow ☺️❤️ think of it as a seed/plant that you water.

    Your videos stay inspiring me to add when I can and if I don’t have what I want to add I can add anything I can spare! Since I started sinking funds can I say I have envelopes for things I never had before an it feels sooo good!! Car, house needs, emerg fund, personal, allowance, snow removal, Walmart etc!! It just feels so good❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    I do the same for my utilities as you do with electric. Throughout the year we pay between $200 and $600 a month because of electricity being so high in the summer (Phoenix, AZ) so I put $100 away every week for utilities even the months that are only $200 to offset the summer months

    Best tips ever .. I’m on a fixed disability income.. it’s harder to save.. I started 5 categories last month
    Groceries
    Miscellaneous
    Dollar savings
    Christmas
    Emergency
    I have $160 in emergency fund and a $34 in my $ savings and a $ in the other ones
    I did that because I had no savings at all.. I have always had a change jar

    I just saved up to purchase a Samsung Galaxy Watch. If feels good when you buy something and don't have to make payments. I had been saving for a new tattoo, all I need to do now is go get it. Saving for a few more things and started some new, now that I have two complete. It's so wild that if I get a lump sum of money I can never see myself just blowing it. By the way, your nails are so cute.
