Great video. When I started almost 3 years ago, I followed the Budget mom. You explained everything perfect. It's hard work on your spending habits and learned behaviors. I started in Jan 2020 . I bought my house as a singles mom in 2021. I will never change how I budget now. This community is amazing. THANK YOU for this video.

Hi there!! I can really relate to your comment! I also changed my life as a single mom and fixed my credit, bought a new car, had my daughter in private school and purchased my first house by budgeting, living below my means and making a lot of sacrifices! It was all so worth it! The sense of confidence that comes with doing it all on your own is worth WAY more than anything money could buy! I’m so happy you found our channel and to know that you are doing well! 💛💛💛

Hi Jenn! I hope all new budgeters watch this, then watch it again, memorize it (or put it in the 'watch later' que for reference) and start today!! ANY budgeter can start today, bring in that sense of control and management, leading to a sense of hope!! Thank you so much for this important video!! 😊

I have an Excel spreadsheet that I’ve been marking off bills as they are paid. Nothing worse then forgetting to pay a bill…yes, I’ve been there and it’s frustrating! Especially if it’s something that gets reported to the credit bureaus! I did not need to go back through my bank statements because I KNEW exactly where my extra spending was…eating out! I started meal planning through the week and it has saved us a TON of money! Now I know what I need to buy at the grocery store so that has also lowered how much I spend. I still budget for us to eat out (mainly in the weekends). My husband retired last month so I really had no choice but to get a handle on our spending. It’s so easy to do, we are saving money and there are no more sleepless nights worrying about money.

I have a chart of bills that are due each month from one paycheck to the next and I pay the specific bills as soon as I got paid (and not when actually due). This way I know I won't forget to pay the bills and also that I'll have money to pay the bills. I also prepare a meal plan for every 2 weeks. Saves money and time

Love the easy breakdown and the important part about forgiving yourself for overspending.

Thank you once again for a fantastic video! I’m watching it again and getting my 💩together! I started cash budgeting in September, just a few days before my wedding…not the ideal time, but I was ready to change my finances. It definitely has been a bumpy start with last minute wedding expenses and now the holidays, but I will say I can already tell I’m better off having started. Changing my mindset is what I’m working on now. One month ago I had an awesome buffer in my checking account and it’s all gone now because I fell back into old habits…a humbling experience! So now I’m starting again and determined that things will look dramatically different at this time next year.

Hi Jenn, I loved your video! I did Ramsey about 2 years ago but did it "-ish" as Dave would say. I think I didn't have all the information I needed and thought I could fill in the blanks myself! I just went back to ALL my bank statements, CC statements, and Venmo transactions (which I always considered 'free' money. I didn't take into account that when I paid something with that it was spending! Uugh!! I have a few CC and other 'normal' bills. I have been ale to pay my bills, but have been wondering why I don't have enough for an emergency fund or savings. WOW! What insight! If anyone else is reading this, I am going to be vulnerable to show you, you are not alone! Over the last 3 months I have spent (excluding my bills): $1100 on Amazon, $700 dining out, $1700 on hobbies (when I have plenty of things to work on already), $600 on misc household, and $1000 on self care, Plus 4-5 tv subscriptions that I barely watch.

You could average your last several paychecks or even a years worth, whatever is realistic for the kind of money you make now. Add the dollar amounts all up, then divide by the number of paychecks you included. Then you could budget around that but leave a good chunk of wiggle room in your budget in case you have a lower paycheck come in. Just an idea!

Lived with a few women (I am a woman) it did NOT work out. At 32, an 18 year old male I worked with at home Depot moved into my apartment. We were roomies for 11 years. He met his now wife, they married he moved out. we never had issues. I was his cash envelope. He gave me weekly the money for rent and his bills. The rest was his. Funny note... he decided about 5 years into our arrangement, to move out and move in with 2 of his buddies. 4 months later he was at my door again... they had no electricity, water and all were behind on their rent and starving, the partying was fun though.

I even take money out of my saving to buy thing I sometimes need and don’t. I’m terrible at saving and although I don’t live on my own I have a few bills I pay by myself that I can barley pay for that, school debt, phone, and a few other things. Do you think that this is good for me?

I started only stuffing my savings, kids savings, and emergency fund. So far I’ve only been able to not touch my kids savings. I know it’s not a lot, but I have $400 saved for them, I’ve sadly had to dip into everything else. 🥴 But I’ve cut my spending dramatically, I have on average 5 no spend days a week outside of groceries and gas now (I’m so proud of myself for that), but I’ve been tracking all spending I do, and starting the new year I’m going to start stuffing my sinking funds and recording them.

For instance: Allowance or clothing: I have a family of 5 and I know I need to set aside money for future clothing--especially back to school and sometimes I like to throw them a few bucks so they can do whatever the hell they want with it(aka allowance).... should I make subcategories for those instances?

You could do your budget. Write it all out and give every dollar it’s job. THEN- have your categories and your envelopes ready to go. Just keep your cash in the bank and use prop money instead. That way you can still limit your spending, keep track, meet goals but your just using prop money instead. I think prop is a great option for those that can’t get to the bank every pay period. It’s still a visual view of your money and where it’s going. April has super cute prop money linked here : www.etsy.com/shop/2sisterbees Check the Prop Money section. I hope this helps! 💛

Hello Jen how are you today? I hope you and your sister are well and your family. I just started my 1st word And For the 1 it took me 3 tries and for the second 1 it took me 5 tries. My question is How do you count up the25 cent. 1And how do you come up with the $1 1. Do you count up if you miss the word the amount? Do you count up if you spell it correctly. Or do you count it up if you didn't get it at all? Thank you for your time have a good day

Hi there! So the one that was 3 tries is : 25 cents x 3 = 75 cents And the one that took 5 tries is 25 cents x 5 = $1.25 So it’s a quarter each try that you get the word wrong. If you use up all 6 tries - the max amount would be $1.50. I hope that helps! Thanks for being a part of The Hive ! 💛💛💛

Hello I have a question how do you work paying off credit card debt into your budget? Is it considered a bill? Or a sinking fund and do you consider the minimum payments for each card as a bill to be put with things like rent, power ect?

@2SisterBees

Жыл бұрын

I am not a financial advisor but I have definitely paid off a lot of credit cards- so, I would suggest that you keep your minimum payment with your other bills so you are just always sending that in. In the meantime, to pay off extra principal and get it paid down- I had a separate envelope and I would save whatever I could for 4 weeks and send that in one lump sum towards the balance. Some of our subscribers were suggesting to send it in biweekly to minimize that compounding interest faster - which is great advice. So you could send your extra payments in every week, every 2 weeks or once a month…. Whatever you want to do. There really is no wrong way to pay off a credit card. Work extra hours, sell your unused stuff, start a side job… and start sending that money in! Every little bit counts and you will be so shocked to see how fast it dwindles down and with all of your efforts, it WILL!! ✨💛✨💛

I know this is happening all over. I see it everyday where I live. Homelessness is rampant in Sacramento area. I certainly don’t have the answer to fix this issue but I hope anyone in this situation will reach out for help and find ways to get back on their feet. That’s a tough road to come back from but not impossible. Nothing is impossible. 💛 In the meantime, I hope anyone reading this who is able to give food or any other assistance to those in need- continues to do so.💛

What about someone with a inconsistent low income

Bills- no. I don’t take in and out of bank. If you wanted- you could do a couple things to stay on track : 1. You could separate bills from spending with 2 checking accounts 2. Do a “Month Ahead” fund and save up all of your monthly expenses for bills and have that in your bill account and have even more cushion & security. You sound like me- I just needed to start cash stuffing for variable expenses and sinking funds. I wasn’t controlling that money before. It was just in and out, in and out… I had to take back control and cash has helped me SIGNIFICANTLY! Hope this helps!! 💛💛💛

It depends. I follow Dave Ramsey’s baby step program. When someone is having a hard time with paying for living expenses- he always says the same thing, “ More income, spend less”. Or a combination of both. If you are having a tough go of paying regular bills- you should go through spending and cut wherever you can. If you’re still struggling, you’ve got to increase your income. 💛

I;ve cut my Amazon spending down significantly and only buy items that I actually need instead of what I want.

@2SisterBees I failed to mention thanks for all the info. I'm considering doing this system. Are you afraid to keep cash at home or in a purse? I have a friend who had lots of cash saved and hidden in their home. It caught fire and burned to the ground. I'd appreciate any tips.

You definitely want a fire proof safe- that’s my suggestion. I only take what I am using in my purse. So, if I am getting groceries, I only take grocery money. You can do cashless saving, as well. Using funded cards and prop money, you can still “stuff” categories and keep track on budget sheets. I have a couple videos where I answered viewer questions. Maybe this will help a bit : kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIaKx9uJn7a6g84.htmlsi=Lda8PTy_u6r3VDr7
