Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- It's time for my monthly budget and cash stuffing. I use a zero-based budget and make a plan for every dollar!!
I filmed this late into the night and fell asleep editing it! I hope it doesn't put you to sleep like it did me! LOL
We are using savings challenges to get our Home Depot credit card off! While this card is at 0% we are on a journey to be financially independent! Can we pay it off TODAY??

Our 4 year debt update in April 2023 was $201,986.79
NOTES:
* In 2023 and 2024, we incurred more debt and paid a large portion of that debt off, so our debt paid numbers are actually higher than what they appear.
* The above numbers include our mortgage.

I saw a tik tok this morning about a microchip doggy door( the neighbors cat was mad they couldnt come in the microchip doggy door and it was a cat outside looking very angry Lol) . i believe it only opens for the microchips that are programmed so that the cats cant go in and out of the doggy door.
great job paying down your debt!
Oooooo that is interesting! I will have to look at that!
We have a dog door in our house that we can control. When we needed a new storm door we got one with the dog door in it so when we are not in the house or it’s nighttime we just shut our main door and the dogs can’t get out. That is something to look into and such a great buy. On nice days we have the dog door open so our dogs can go in and out and not bother us. They also make dog doors where a dog will wear a special tag and the door only unlocks when the dog hits the sensor so the cats can’t get out.
We definitely need to get a doggie door! Bridger and I have talked about it multiple times! I haven't done much research but I did see the doors that have a special tag. # lifegoals for sure! LOL...I just need to set a goal for the Pets sinking fund and add extra in it to pay for the door, I actually think I have plenty in there now to pay for it, but I would want to replace it ASAP since that is their EF.
@@SnowGardener307Budgets I’ll take a picture of ours and email it to you when I get home. We love ours plus it’s not a hole in the wall so when we eventually sell we don’t have to worry about a specific market.

I wanted it to go up last night...but I fell asleep editing it...it is sooo long! LOL
Hello Marlene…first I want to say, it’s good to see someone else with the same name as myself. And I’m loving your videos…The new book is amazing and definitely on my to buy list.
Thank you so much! I was named after my grandma! Not too many Marlenes in the world!! LOL
So happy for you on your journey!! Your videos are so fun to watch!
Thank you so much!! Did you change your channel name? I have been trying to figure out exactly who you are...lol...as far as my spreadsheet is concerned! LOL Please tell me your first name! LOL
@@SnowGardener307Budgets I did have to change it to add numbers to the end as I messed it up the first time I tried to start a channel lol my name is Tonja
@@Grit.Glam.Budget814 Wahoooo I guessed right! That is who I thought you were! Whew...I feel better now. I had your channel name next to your name, but I had a question mark! LOL
I’m so sad I wasn’t able to budget in time for the original Georgette book but hopefully I’ll get the new one soon. I did go ahead and order a couple of single challenges I’m excited to be getting. The new book looks amazing. Congratulations on all your hard work.
Don't worry! The new book will be around for quite some time! The OG Georgette book was available for 8 months but I anticipate the 2nd Georgette book being available for at least 6 months, if not longer!! Save those pennies...pennies add up and before you know it you will be able to get what you want!! I hope you love your new challenges!

Hey hey Dannie! Yes!! How exciting is that? We have plans for the truck and after we get our emergency fund up to where we want it we will start tackling the mortgage! 🎉🎉🎉
This was a fun video to watch. I have a question about your membership and what the monthly budget kit includes? Debating between that one and the free monthly scratch off. Thank you! 😊
Hi Tina!
Here is a link for the budget kit for June: snowgardener307.etsy.com/listing/1724232073/large-june-dated-and-undated-printable
It shows you every page you get! of course each month has a different design. :)
I do the same thing with GS cookies .. I love them but they don’t come home with me 😂Glenda
Yes!! Hahaha...I love donating them! It is like double-dipping on giving!!
Love all your challenges where did you get the numbers to put on your June binder 😊😊😊
Hi Sarah- the paperclips are from Amazon. I have a link in the description of this video!

💖
I love your videos. Just a little info I’m terrified of police
With that being said any tips for someone to over come this fear
Also thank you for your service
Thank you so much! I think the biggest tip I have for you to help you get over your fear is to realize that we are just people like you. Cops are just ordinary people who deal with the same ups and downs in life as you do. When I am dealing with the public I remind them that respect goes a long way. If you treat me with respect I will treat you the same way. Like my mama always told me, "Treat others how you want to be treated."
@@SnowGardener307Budgets thanks. It isn’t the person I am afraid of it is the uniform. I have seen several people I know get in the uniform and the minute that it is on I am terrified.
@@momo2012ful hmmm...that stumps me. When I put on my uniform it doesn't change who I am or how I treat people. Is it just law enforcement uniforms or do fire fighters and other uniforms bring out fear too? If the fear is something you want to work on I would suggest a counselor.
Are you sold out of Georgette saving challenge books.
Hi Jenny! There should be books available to purchase!
Wow that is awesome. I'm so happy for you guys ❤
Thank you Dianne!!
Great video!! Congratulations on paying off your debt!!
Thank you Marsha!!
