Hey, on Google docs you can block people from making changed by keeping it as view only, if people want to use it they can download it and make changes but it at least ensures yours is safe. Hope this helps!

I think when you have your debt paid off & this series is over, you should keeping doing budgeting videos but with the goal of saving for a house deposit (I know that is something you said you wanted to do) :)

I couldn't imagine paying off my entire loan (30,000) in one month! Thats incredible Aja. Keep it up (:

AJAAAA I’m about 5-7 days from being debt free and I am so excited yet my chest is tightening lol I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! You are 1 of the 4 vlog channels I consistently watched for inspiration, motivation and gazelle intensity. I will OBVIOUSLY continue watching because your channel is more than debt info and inspo, but that’s how I found you. Anyways, thank you girlie 😉

i just cannot comprehend being able to pay $30,000 in one month. that means you would have to be making more than $30,000 in one month..... that’s a life i will never lead haha

Amazing great job! $30k! Lots of people are probably thinking ‘I never get that kind of money and couldn’t do this’ but the truth is when you’re not good with $10 you’re probably not going to be good with $10,000. You are obviously good with your money now! You could’ve bought a car or taken a trip instead of paying off debt! Great job!

These videos are my favorite each month!!!

Hi Aja, seeing your videos on how you have achieved with your budgeting plans is super inspiring. What's more fascinating is the idea of saving up to still be able to treat & reward yourself during the journey. Thank you for your informative & helpful videos! I'm very much looking forward to more videos from you :D.

Aja I think you are the 8 glasses of water I needed today. I am so excited for you that you are gaining momentum towards paying down your student loans as well as having the discipline to do it. Side note I pray that you continue to have overflow in your life and finances.

Love the graphics and animation at the beginning of your videos!

I'm just appreciative that you're so transparent about how things flow. I think it's awesome that you took your girls out for dinner. I'm sorry about how you had to deal with all those unauthorized purchases through your account, but I'm glad you got that sorted.

Great video! Always so inspiring watching you Aja. However, I was wondering how you divide the households budget with Brian? How do you create a budget with your partner for the household? What should I pay for and what should my partner pay for? Right now me and my partner live separately on our own but eventually we will move together and I could use some recommendations for budgeting for the household (including your partner)

That camera quality is real.

I'm in my first year of uni so the debt creation has started hahaha, I worked out I'll be in over £65,000 of debt once I've finished, it's crazy how uni is!! Although thankfully in the UK we have a student loans system so that we only pay back 9% of what we earn over £25,000 (used to be £21,000) and after 30 years the debt is wiped. I'm so thankful it's that way here (although I feel like the country is gonna lose a lot of money doing it that way), the fees in the US are crazy high I don't even understand. But your journey to becoming debt free is so inspiring! x

Honestly you should look up homeopathy on pubmed or somewhere reputable. You may feel that IV vitamins help, but it's probably just the saline (fluid) that's making you feel better because you're dehydrated. Almost everyone feels better after a saline drip b/c most of us are dehydrated.

Dude..u are gunna be able to pay off this debt by this year! I mean i know you wont be able to get 30k to go towards your debt every month but it’s only february and you paid off that much? Wowowwoww!! You’ll be on your way to buying bigger things in cash in no time ^^

What did you go to school for in order to pay that much in school loans??

Every time you post I pay 100 dollars toward my student loan. It's just a reminder that If you can do it. I can too! If you post 84 more videos I'll have it paid off. (: Win win for both of us.

Glad the budget is going well! Will you be doing your taxes yourself? I normally do my own. One year they were more complicated so I hired someone, and then quickly realized that I could have done a much better job myself.

Can you please share how you and Brian split expenses (groceries etc.)? For example, your fancy diner, do you split the bill? What if one of you can’t afford/don’t want to go, do you split anyway? I find that it’s very different in US (I’m from Europe), so I’m very curious:)

Damn I wish I get paid as much as you, Aja! 🥺

Could you perhaps be so kind as to make a budget for students or tell me where I can find a video to help me with that? Thank you so much!

I love these videos! I have a question though - I'm super nosy so I follow along in your budget as I watch your videos, and the math is confusing to me (likely because you're paying for some of the bigger expenses like insurance out of your savings, b/c you plan ahead for them). Is there a way to color code in your budget which monies come from in-month income and which come from savings (so I/we can better understand your cash flow)? This assumption is based on: $11369.56 income (after taxes/commission) and $34692.49 expenses ($44692.49 - 10k Mohela check). Discrepancy of about -$23k. Also +1 to the bullet journaling / apps video! Can't wait for that! xo Edited to add: yep, definitely some of the stuff had been saved for (like birthday dinner, etc), so would be awesome to color code or understand what was in-month vs saved for. The reason I ask is because I'm not a YTer but I have a respectable income and am trying to define the balance of in-month vs. savings for myself and seeing someone like yourself do it on a grander scale would be so helpful!
