I will. Your planner has everything I wanted in a budget planner. 😁

I love this series thank you for making it.

I’ve been watching you all year . Thanks for your tips .

Just bought your budget planner! Excited! Thanks for sharing your gems with us

Thank you very much for this series. I have been closely watching it. I cannot wait to finish this current project for work to setup my own 2021 planner. But I have been thinking about the areas in my life that needs to be planned and/or tracked.

I'm really enjoying this series, thank you Alaina!

Planner is impressive. Love your channel. Your diligence when it comes to all aspects of your home is so endearing, embodiment of a Prov 31 woman. New video suggestion: Impact of your efforts on your family

Same here!!! Very useful and practical tips.

Monthly budget close out was the best tip. Thanks for sharing. Too much work to do now.

This is on my Christmas list. Thanks.

This looks like what I have been looking for. We have never had a budget before and now we are trying to implement one and every setup I have tried I get frustrated with.

Thank you for the video.

Love this

I bought my planner last month before the change. However, I like the change of the monthly view being 2 pages. It gives you a little more room which is much needed.

Hi The Organized Money, I like your content. I love watching your videos.

I enjoy all the videos

This is the first time I’ve come across your channel. I really like your planner🤩 I was wondering if all the pages shown are on a monthly basis so like 12 of each page or just one set as shown here?

Hello I love your voice and the planner!!!

Hello! Enjoyed your video. Where are those gold metal discs from?

On the debt reduction tracker do you combine all the debt to put on the beginning balance line? Should we include out car and personal loans in the debt reduction tracker or only credit cards? Also, if I fill up the debt snowball page can I print another copy?

Amazing ideas and great detail again Alaina. I'm so excited to incorporate some of these in my 2021 planners. I already have my Q1 Money routine almost done. Can you do a video specifically for your Money Routine? Thanks

I just received your budget planner. Should I start in March or back up and input January and February too? Would it even be helpful to do the first 2 months? BTW I love the paper!

I should have waited for the update. I definitely need the month on two pages since I write big.I love the monthly closeout new layout. I still love your budget planner though.

Hey! The month on two pages is in my etsy shop by itself. If you just want that page message me there. :)

Alaina, I have the old budget planner. Can you put the four newest or revised pages on Etsy as separate downloads so that I don't have to purchase a whole new planner?

When you are finished with the month/quarter/year do you file all these pages somewhere or do you trash them?

Thank you for the video. Love your setup. Do you sell those planners?

Another question I have is where would you recommend categorizing irregular bills like medical?

Aww man I wish I would’ve watched the video first, my husband ordered the life planner for my birthday by accident he thought he was ordering the budget planner..I ordered the budget planner the other day and just saw these cool stickers watching this video 🤦🏾‍♀️ is it free shipping when you spend a certain amount? I’d love to get the dots and flower/weather stickers any shipping promo codes available?

Thanks for this series! Do you also use a budget software?

For my planner printables i use 32 lb weight paper. Sometimes 28 lb. Regular copy paper is too thin but cardstock is too thick. At an office store that offers printing you can ask them to feel the papers to decide which you like better. I use HP 32 lb. Not glossy.

Can I see the excel version of the budget I like to have both
