    Feeling like I have extra money on my bi-weekly paycheck. She said..."No ma'am. That money is for bills." THIS RIGHT HERE is what gets me in trouble every time....thinking I have "extra money" when I barely scrape by on paycheck number two. Thanks for the breakdown of how you use the calendar page and the highlighters. As a visual learner this is really helpful.

    I love getting paid once a month! I get paid the last day of each month. I pay ALL my bills that day! Whatever is left is what I budget with…. I do plan that money for the number of weeks in the month and set up my cash envelopes for each week. This helps me spread out my dispensable cash to last the entire month. It’s worked well for me for several years!!

I'm feeling overwhelmed. On the positive side I have been able to save big time, cleared up 2 credit card debts, and mentally my goal is to save and payoff, which I am succeeding little by little. You are amazing and a great motivator.

This month is a little better I just hit 0 today 😂😂😂 and I get paid next week but this past year and change has been RUFFF. Hopefully splitting it in 2 and writing it out will help

    Sorry Austrian/Europe Person here and i have to say that budgeting monthly don´t automatically mean failure. Most Europeans get paid monthly and if they have a budget, it is always on a monthly base. They don´t mess that up and honestly i don´t know any person that get paid monthly and budget bi-weekly. What i do say, is that most of the people check there variable budget categories on a weekly base and make sure they are on track, but all of them have strict monthly budgets (myself included ;-) )

  • @carrieb5920

    I absolutely love your channel. You have helped me and hubby so much!
    I get paid monthly on the last day of the month. I have a planner like yours. I moved all my direct debits (I think you call them auto drafts? ) to the first and 2nd of the month. So all my bills are gone by the third anything left is for food, diesel and gas/electric. I found it so much easier this way. Once my husband changes his jobs next week we will be doing the same with his.
    You are truly an inspiration in the budgeting world! Keep doing what you are doing ❤️❤️

    I personally do NOT recommend auto drafting for any monthly bills. In case of an emergency, you might need those finds especially if you're still living check to check. Hopefully no more living check to check as you start to build up your savings 😊

    • @barbarajordan3145
      @barbarajordan3145 11 місяців тому

      I like to pay the bills each one at a time as I'm forced to look at what is on the statement. The exception is that I have one or two that close before payday, so it's best to pay the minimum due auto-deducted. I can make an additional payment once everything else is paid.
      Keep stuffing!

    If you have "collections" or have been accused of hoarding, try this way. This is fun snd you will be better for it. I shocked my daughter and son-in-law by declaring that I was hoarding cash! Ha! I showed how this went, paid off a loan from my daughter, and gave her a little photo binder with one $20 bill to begin her savings in cash. We are lucky to be honest and respectful people so no need for super security. Be mindful of protecting cash!
    Thank you, Jasmine, for bringing these techniques for us. Best wishes!

    So glad I have found your channel... You have definitely inspired me to take a closer look at my finances... Just a side note, Hulu has a bundle package that includes Disney plus... I had honestly been paying for it a while, not realizing I was paying for Disney plus the entire time😢😢😢... When I took a closer look at why I was paying so much, that's when I saw it... It's only $21.65 w taxes a month... I noticed you were paying for each separately and just thought I'd mention it... Please continue what you are doing... You are inspiring people to do better with their finances!!!!

    I've been doing the frequency thing for a couple years now and it's so so helpful when planning out our paychecks and paying bills. It really helps us be able to plan ahead! I love the idea of highlighting the bills and debts and paychecks in different colors though. That would be so helpful on the eyes!! Haha
