May 2019 Paycheck Budget Recap

Today, I am showing you how I close out my budget every month.
I am also showing you what my spending and budget looked like for May 2019.
What do you do with your budget after the month is over, and you’re ready to begin a new month? Most people don’t realize it, but your spending throughout the month gives you some incredibly helpful information.
One of the first steps to creating and sticking to a realistic budget is tracking your expenses. Your spending is the underlying foundation for creating a budget and ensuring that your budgets in the future are successful.
If you are not aware of where your money is going, you can’t make the best decisions for your dollars. Today, I am going to show you how to extract all of the vital information from your expense trackers using three helpful worksheets.

    I have been so addicted to your videos since I found them in May. I watch these budget ones over and over so that it sinks in. I am loving my workbook and have found that I was REALLY wasteful with my money. You are amazing and you explain the process so very well. I now see a light at the end of the tunnel.

  • @LACLAW00

    Thanks for this video. Closing out the month is a little harder to grasp (for me) so I appreciate this. I have a couple of questions: Regarding NY trip, at least part of it was for business purposes and presumably deductible. Why did you use your personal vacation funds and run the trip through your personal budget? At a minimum your airfare and all expenses on the days of conference should be business expenses. Second question - For May you show no earned income because, as you explained, you deposited the “May 1” check at the end of April. You did the same in late May - deposited the June paycheck at the end of May (due to your travel to Texas) but you didn’t count that income in May, the way you did in the same situation at the end of April. In terms of paying the bills it doesn’t matter but as someone still trying to get the hang of parts of the budget documentation, I wonder if you can explain how you decide which month to put the earned income? The situations seemed the same to me. (In my case I had a bi-weekly paycheck hit on 5/31 and counted it for May and just showed a higher that normal June 1 starting balance). Thank you!!!!!!!!!

    Question about the starting balance, I get paid on the last day of the month and have some bills auto-paid the last day of the month but they don't clear obviously until the next month. On the first of June, for example, my bank could show my balance is 700.00 however after 2 May bills clear in June but paid for in May its really 500.00 would my starting balance be after the May bills clear or whatever the bank says no matter what? I didn't list the transaction in June because they are May bills paid in May is that correct?

    Not sure if you mean on designing the workbook or on purchasing the workbook. The workbook is her own design and that is her business. You can purchase her workbook on her website. Right now it is not in stock the printed version, but she does have a printable version of her new workbook. She does sell another version which is her first workbook design.
