AMAZING!! I just finished the block challenge too! We’re twins!! ♥️♥️

Nice video. Debt avalanche is paying by interest rates (high to low) and debt snowball is paying based on balance (low to high).

Great video! I do this now with just a check register. I always watch these types of videos looking for better ideas or great tips that may help me improve my budgeting. But, I must say, you killed it! You did such a great job explaining and demonstrating! Several people ask me for help with their budgeting and paying off debt. This will be the video that I suggest they watch. I appreciated you and your videos. Thank you.

I wish I learned this when I was younger omg eating out and shopping 🛍️ main problem this year I will no longer be living paycheck to paycheck and not have any savings. Thank you so much for teaching me what I should’ve learned never stop teaching please 🙏🏾

I started this budgeting thing in january and I found out I spending 200 on door dash in 2 weeks

We needed to get our spending under control, figure out where our money was going, and then focus on paying off debt. Hoping to have all CCs paid off either end of this year or next year. Your little 1st edition saving book is what I'm using for it. Perfect to saving chunks to pay them off.

I learned how to balance a checkbook and also make a budget and high School in democracy someowhat, but also taught myself the rest of the budget. I shared this video because I knew it could help others financially. There's so many that needs help financially nowadays, and who else better I know today would be you. Thank you for being you Celissa. Love you girl. See you in the next one. Take care and God bless.

Hey, Celissa!! I love this!! I definitely should track my expenses sometimes, I just don't need that negativity in my life!😂😂😂😂

I have started budgeting about a year or so ago. my reason was i needed to know where my money was going and what was coming in. I was tired of living paycheck to paycheck. I use the 50/30/20 method and im not sure but im doing the snowball method for debt payoff except for taxes and traffic fines. They are on top of my debt payoff list

First time watching. Enjoyed!

This was a great refresher video. It showed me some areas in my budgeting that I have got lax with. Thanks Celissa.

I love these Budgeting videos and I have learned so much from you! Thank you! I have a couple of questions, but I don't feel real comfortable asking them here. May I send you an email with the questions, then if you think it is something other people would want to know, then maybe you could do a video on them without a person being associated with the questions?

Hi! Not sure if this is a weird thing but I’ve been attempting to budget for a while and cannot straighten out what’s necessary to fund first. Like mentally, I’m stuck on the whole “bills/debt must be paid” and cannot divert to “need money for food expenses, need gas money, etc”. Any tips for this? Instead of shoveling all my money towards paying the credit card then turning around and realizing I have no cash for these expenses. 😅 I consume financial/budgeting content on the regular but it still doesn’t click.

@Beautifulmeandyou

4 ай бұрын

My opinion is bills, weekly expenses, then debt plus savings. You’re right, if you spend your grocery money on paying a credit card you’ll have to use it again to get food. Also, it sounds like you have a shortage overall. Reevaluate what is truly needed and if you can reduce your expenses. If not, maybe look into ways of increasing your income. ☺️
