    The Only Budgeting Method You Need To Worry About!

    This app SAVED my wife and I's finances. Before budgeting, we were deep in debt with barely to no emergency fund and savings. Then in November of 2018, we had the "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of being broke" moment. We decided to start budgeting using this app, and followed Dave Ramsey's baby steps, then after almost 2 years, we paid off all our debt, fully funded our 6-month emergency fund, saved money in all our sinking funds then started saving in our 401k. Praise God for Dave Ramsey's life-changing financial teachings!

    The best budget advice I ever received was not to OVER specify. So I have line items in the budget called “Run The Family” and this includes everything from Home Depot runs because we need to fix a faucet to cleaning supplies and toilet paper.

    Glad to see you go over the every dollar app in detailed with this video. It's a simple but detailed plan. The thing I would love to add is if possible, any low cost monthly payments, try to see if you can go prepaid for a annual cost so you can free up your monthly cashflow to put towards other goals or debts. Example is paying yearly on my phone bill saved me a bit of money but also a years worth of concern.

    But about budgets, I use the EveryDollar app, but I cannot handle seeing only a few line items at a time. I start my budget on excel, which allows me to see the whole budget, every line, on one screen. I am a detail oriented person, but I really like to see the big picture too. I’m also a bit of a nerd, can you tell?

I deleted all my social media accounts and left installed on my iPhone what I need: Maps, Calendar, Uber, Bus Ticket app, Obsidian (note taking app), etc. I did this to save internet data. I also don't finance phones. I save and buy it cash. In 2020 I bought the iPhone SE, still have it and works perfectly fine.

      @devinhoward8816 Рік тому +3

      Good morning! I'm not George, but hopefully this helps. For an irregular budget you need to budget off of a "low" income month. So if your income ranges from $2000 to $4000 a month based on overtime or commissions you will budget off of the $2000. Then as the month progresses and you bring in more income you can add that "extra" to either saving, spending, or debt. That will all depend on which Baby Step you are on and your overall goals for that month and the next. It is also prudent to save more your first month or two to give yourself a buffer in you checking account if you have been living pay check to pay check. Remember, this is a Zero Dollar budget, not a zero bank account budget. Have an awesome day!

  • @drunclecookie216
    @drunclecookie216 5 місяців тому

    I just use a spreadsheet with a tab for every month. Each tab shows the current amount we have in each bank account, the total of our paychecks for that month, every single bill that is paid for that month, and what extra money we've spent whether it's some kind of emergency, maintenance, or just for fun. I even have this spreadsheet to estimate what we should have by the end of each month pending that we stick to the budget or no emergencies pop up. I base our fun money due to our expenses and what we want to be able to save after everything is paid for.

    My favorite part is when George mentioned he goes to planet fitness. Truly a George Kamel experience

    Doing this made me realize I need a third job. Utilities keep rising as well as insurance and food and that is something I cannot cut out. Its sucks when you are trying to eat healthier and your bill is significantly higher. I wanted to get rid of the dog, but my husband said no....

    Great video George! As Freelancer my income changes every month, some months are extremely low and others are incredibly high, how would you budget for this?

    If you have debt, is it still smart to give 10% to the church? Or is it frowned upon to use that money to get OUT of debt and make your life better and then give that money to church if you want

      If one has a relationship with God, I would think one would want to obey what he says regarding tithes. Also, it’s all His money anyways.
