The Only Budgeting Method You Need To Worry About!
Today we’re talking about a gross 6 letter word that most people hate using. Nope, not moist. That’s 5 letters. I’m talking about a B-U-D-G-E-T. A budget.

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!
My favorite part of this video is when George said that housing should only be 25% of his take-home pay, but then proceeds to budget $1200 on a $4000 monthly budget

Im ok with them saying 25% . Because we human dont lisent and go over. Imagine if they said 35% people will go 50% . Im under 25% on my mortgage and its amazing and the only reason why we can pay all in 5 years. At the end of the day is just a stupid house.

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. This was a big help to sticking to a budget for me

I change my sheets every week, and if I skip a week, it’s not the end of the world. 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?
You're doing an amazing job George! Please keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing the importance of budgeting. Love the edits. Budgeting is a great tool.
I feel called out. I was putting clean pillowcases on as you said go change your sheets 😂

I LOVE zero based budgeting!!! I've been using this budgeting method for YEARS and its the best one
Keep up the good work George, love listening to you.
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.

Great video George & team! I have a little suggestion though. Since the GFX style of the video is very glitch contemporary, i think a redesign of the Ramsay logo for these kind of videos would be warranted. I feel like you guys could really create a fun vignette that would help the style cohesion. Small peanuts, but I thought I'd mention it. Keep up the good work!

I’ve used this budgeting app nearly a year now. It’s not perfect but it really helped us track our spending on the go. I use this in conjunction with Google spreadsheet. The app for everyday tracking and spending on the go. And I use the spreadsheets to do monthly tally and easier to see month-to-month trend throughput the year.
Awesome video George! I'll happily trade some of our Canadian Bacon for the Every Dollar App being made available in Canada!
I appreciate the walk through with this app:)
Thanks for the app recommendation... I know it's in-network but I did JUST need one recently.

Wish with all budgeting apps you can start it the day you get paid.. if you get paid on the 15th and don’t get paid until the following month on the 15th that’s the one month. Reports and tallies are always in one month.

Grrat video. Loved the Ginger Billy clip.
I skip having a monthly bill and try to save money as much as I can on it.. I pay $202.86 (mint mobile) for a whole year with 5GB of internet. That's around $16.90/month. 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.
That Nestle Crunch hit in the face made me subscribe. Well done.

Yes please on the irregular income based budget! 🎉
Video on irregular income pls!!! I have irregular income and having a hard time with my budget.
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.

He is such a great, refreshing addition to the Ramsey family. But one area they need to get with the times on is the true cost of housing in 2023. Sure there are places in maybe Alabama and North Dakota where you might be able to spend $900 on rent, but how often does that exist anymore? In live in NJ, and a 1 bedroom apartment with bullet holes in the walls runs about $1400. If you want to live in a mostly safe area with clear water running from the faucets, it’s closer to $1550. On a 74k annual salary, this is about 35-42% of take home pay. $1000 per month for an apartment simply does not exist anymore. Not anywhere in this state.
AWESOME awesome!!
This is great! Would love to see a video focusing on the savings categories...I find the Funds feature doesn't work how you'd think. It counts as $ budgeted but not spent, does the app think it comes out of thin air? Any advice or videos on that feature?

I feel like monetary giving should be paused until out of debt. In this example if this person would give time and volunteer as their side hustle it would pay the $400 effectively since that is the giving amount George decided on.
