Would love to see a breakdown of what you guys are hoping to do/spend for your Europe trip! I am hoping to do something similar within the next few years.

i am very bad at keeping consistent with my budget, but you have inspired me since the beginning of this year to at least be mindful of where my money is going, even if i don't keep track of it visually. love how realistic everything is.

I've always been struggling with finding that balance between saving and spending money, it kinda stresses me out and sometimes even makes me regret spending money on purchases. Your videos always help me feel more comfortable with spending money, knowing that I'm not alone in finding a balance in life. Have an amazing August Ella~

it's such a balancing act! glad i'm not alone 😅 sending all the good vibes your way for August xx

I just started to work on my august budget so this video really keeps me company. Savings right now suffering the most but I have goals and want to do the best.

As always a great and inspiring video ❤️ What I would like to see is maybe vlog style on how you stick to your buget, do you separate this money further in your accounts and how you work around not having all the funds at the beginning of the month. Creating this spreadsheet and making a zero dollar budget is the first step but I’d like to see how it plays a role in your day to day life

so kind! thank you lovely 🥹🥰

As always, loving the monthly resets! I don't know if it's possible in your spreadsheet, but is there a way that you can specify where money is spent from? So you can still put down that you're saving for travel, but also that travel expenses are coming out of that fund? That's how I would probably set it up, but I think the way you chose to do it also makes sense!

Hi from Europe:) Dont come here in April, it’s very rainy in April here :) And Tipp: Go to croatia, beautyful there, rent a Bungalow at a camping place. So cheap and so nice! :)

Which one of the budget packs did you buy from the Etsy shop? Your link doesn't refer to a specific one, and I would love to get the same one you are using :)

How do you get the dashboard in the budget spreadsheet? I downloaded the ultimate paycheck one but there defo wasn't a dashboard there

Have you tried to do a no spend month like to see how much money you can sav by not spending on extra stuff (clothes, coffee, ect) and see how much you can save base off of it.

So excited for you to experience Europe together. We spent 20k for 18 days so hopefully your work discounts are significant! Where within Europe are you hoping to go? 😍

we'll probably be staying with family/friends in the UK for a good chunk of time which will help save $$$ and then we're thinking Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague and Copenhagen 🥰

How do you keep your electricity so low? We’re in North Haven and it’s now just under $200p/m!

Ella, really recommend Lyka pet food for Mabel Moo. It’s freshly made in Australia and is delivered frozen to your door. Plus your subscribers would love a cheeky discount code for their puppers if you’re ever sponsored 😌

Notification squad, where u at? Here from KZread notifications! Already liked the vid EVEN b4 watching as I know I will ❤ it!

Have you checked out your 50/30/20 goals/expectations versus what you are spending? It could help you better plan or restrict if you wanted. I would also say to have a small Emergency fund for Mabel or be okay pulling from yours as most pet insurance is a refund not a straight forward payment. There are also things it will not cover.

absolutely! we've got our emergency fund for scenarios exactly like that (and partly why I want to increase it further) ☺️
