    I think you should buy all the skin care you wanted and put anything left to holidays. It’s a birthday treat after all 💕

  • @michellefjm2792

    Sparks of Joy is meant to be a treat for you so I think half to skincare and half to travel as your holidays bring so much joy also!

  • @wiccanloverkris
    @wiccanloverkris Місяць тому +8

    Oh, three in a weekend, what a treat! I would put it into skincare. Your holidays tend to get pretty big boosts but skin care is a good investment too and something you can use daily :)

    Hi, catching up on videos as I've been away. Glad you had a lovely birthday. I loved what you said about starting out with cash stuffing. Like you say we're all different ages and have different budgets etc. I found just watching you guys all here on you tube has really helped me. Also like you say a five here and there all adds up. Congratulations on completing sparks of joy 🎉🎉 I'd say give everything that you can some love. Yes definitely with you for the long haul with east Africa 😊😊 hope all is well with you xx

  • @donnahiggins8291

    Love the budgeting advice. I started cash stuffing in April this year but due to a breavment had to stop, I started again in July and in just one month saved £310 which shocked me how much so happy I started it again 😊.
    I think your Sparks of joy money 💰 should be spilt between skincare and Travel.
    Congratulations on completing two challenges 🎉🎉

    If I remember correctly, your Sparks of Joy challenge was supposed to be buying YOU something special. I don’t think it should be topping off your sinking funds!! I think travel, skin care or luxe…tossing in luxe as this is also an envelope for something special. I would also challenge you and ask - is there something on your want list but you haven’t bitten the bullet to buy…maybe this money is what you use to buy that item?

    • @irisbudgets
      @irisbudgets  25 днів тому

    I love how you explained how we can work our cash stuffing to suit our needs. I’ve been cash stuffing most of this year and it’s been a constantly changing journey to find what works for me. For instance my grocery category includes my cat’s needs for two cats. They cost me more weekly than what I spend on my adult daughter and I, but that’s just how it is. So while I budget $250 a week for groceries, about $150 goes on cat food, litter and other cat things. But that works for me. We’re all different, and that’s what makes this journey so much fun. 🎉

    • @irisbudgets

  • @CherryBudgetss

    Definitely £100 into skincare! It would definitely go nicely with that £50 voucher from elemis. Or maybe even £200 in skincare depending on how much elemis is. And then the rest can go to Turkey. Hope that helps ❤😊

    @tomasdossantos4714 Місяць тому

    This is what I would do with the 300: 1) Make a video completing saving challenges. That way you have a video extra monetizing and "helping" too. 2) Once savings challenges are completed I would split in 3 ways: a) Travel (either Africa or Turkey); b) to help completing buffer since thats a pending thing; and c) "The beast". That would help adding 1 or 2% of it, and since is such a big target, if will make the pending balance a little bit more achievable. Of course, since Buffer is already a saving challenge, you can split in half the difference between Travelling and the 10k beast.
