February 20th 2019 Paycheck Budget Overview

Today, I am bringing you with me on my budgeting journey. We will be going over the paycheck that I received on February 20, 2019. I am only one day away from being 100% self-employed, and big changes are happening with my finances.
I have been sharing my real budget for over a year on Instagram, but only recently started sharing my budget on KZread. By sharing my actual budget, I hope to show you the process and steps behind paycheck budgeting. I also hope it helps you understand the psychological decisions behind money management.

    Congratulations!! I get paid once a month as well. A suggestion could be to pull money out for your cash envelopes once a month, then split that into 4 (or 5) separate weeks. For example, say it's a 4 week month, if you take out $500 a month for groceries, you can split that into 4 separate weekly grocery envelopes. Grocery Envelope Week 1 $125, Grocery Envelope Week 2 $125 and so on. I had 4-5 weekly envelopes per category (depending on the number of weeks in the month). Or you can just use paper clips to clip your alloted money for each week and still only keep one envelope per category.

    I've been watching many many videos over the last year or so all about budgets and tracking it. And I think finding your videos really allowed me to take control of my money coming in this month. I started tracking everything on paper. Before I was sometimes tracking them on Everydollar. But was getting lazy and not keeping track. For me its become alot easier to track the money when tracking everything on paper. This is the first month I have tracked everything on a calendar and highlighted and I liked looking at it and see what days I have been spending more and ways that I can changed with the upcoming months and start taking full control over my finances to become debt free.

    I get paid once a month and have found it to be great because I have all my bills (utilities, iTunes, ASPCA) charged on my credit card, so I already know what my bills are going to be by the time the 1st of the month comes around. This has enabled me to plan my finances so much easier for the month. Now, can we talk about those pretty cash envelopes of yours?! Love!!!

    Thank you so much for wonderful instructions! I was wondering where you keep up with how much cushion you have in your checking account? The funds that you moved from your envelopes to savings, do you keep track of that anywhere? Also, those envelopes are gorgeous! I just purchased several sets during your black Friday sell, but I did not see these. Is there anywhere I can purchase this set of envelopes (the envelopes with the flowers lol)?

    My credit is my main concern at the moment, I looked at it a few months ago, and was very disappointed. I get calls daily from people but I’m honestly unsure where all my debt belongs now. For example, my Victoria secret card was sold to another company so it no longer shows on my credit. (For now). How do I start sorting througj what is on credit and know what if it is still valid. Some debts are 7 years old, some 3 years old.

    Looking forward to the new videos with one paycheck since that's my case :) I usually spend all of my money as soon as I get my paycheck and I'm left with little or no money at the end of the month. Btw, I noticed a typo on the start of the video: "Real women. Real finances. Real life", shouldn't it be "Real woman" 🤔?
