My 2022 Sinking Funds | Saving Tips

Here are my 2022 Sinking Funds!
A sinking fund is a strategic way to save a little bit every month to pay for large expenses that are planned.
When you add sinking funds to your budget, you can:
Save for ANYTHING and be prepared with cash. When I say anything, I mean it! Don't be afraid to get specific and make a list of everything you need and want.
Have fun without feeling guilty. Take that trip you've been dreaming about for years. Add that home gym to your spare bedroom and cut out your gym membership. Put that hot tub on the back deck to enjoy with family and friends. Make room for fun in your budget by telling your money where to go every month.
Ditch the guilt of spending. Plan ahead (with your spouse or partner, if you have one) and decide what you want to save for, and figure out how much you need to set aside every month. When it comes time to spend your sinking fund, you don't need to worry about where the money is coming from, and you can spend without regret.
Plan for the unexpected. We all know that life can throw us curve balls. You never know when what, or how things will break or fall apart - but you know they will, eventually. Saving a small amount over time for unexpected curve balls (like a new roof, a new washer and dryer, and new tires) will make those circumstances and purchases a lot less stressful.

    Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.

    Wall Street pitched so-called quality stocks with high profitability and low debt, as a kind of insurance against whatever the economy might throw at you.

    Sinking funds are a life saver! It has taken me awhile to figure out exactly what sinking funds work for us. Some things we prefer to cash flow, some things we like having a sinking fund for. My advice is don’t give up! Sinking funds take awhile, just like your budget, to figure out what works for you. It’s different for everyone!

    I love having sinking funds. I went through my envelopes and revamped some categories and adding them to my budget. One thing I saw another KZreadr do is break down sinking fund categories by subcategories.. for example: instead of just adding money to a Vacation fund in general I have subcategories such as flights, hotel, transportation, tips, activities, food, etc.. this makes it easier for me to put money into specific subcategories instead of mixing my money all at once and making sure I have the right amount of funds for each thing. Hope that makes sense

    I do the same with transportation, since I drive for DoorDash.....I have Auto Insurance, Auto Club, Auto Registration and Smog, Auto Operations for oil changes, fluid changes, and expenses under $300, Auto Maintenance for larger expenses except tires, Auto Body, and DD-Auto Maint for tires. I budget by percentages so I split money into each category by percentage and have goals. I look at these sinking funds like the lights on a music equalizer. They go up and down. When I reach a goal, then the money that would go into that SF will go to the other SFs. And when I spend money I add that percentage back in until the goal is met again. I had to buy a tire already and I had the money. It was such a relief. The next time I spent money from a SF it was joy! Having the money and spending it for that purpose was actually a joy for me!

    From one single mom to another single mom. I have always wanted to start a sinking fund, but I didn't know how to start until now You have motivated me to start so that I can have the set aside funding source to plan ahead . Although I'm not debt free (a mortgate and one low credit card that I payoff monthly) I'm pretty good with handling my money. I'm approaching retirement in 7 months which means leaving from biweekly paychecks to a once a month paycheck....yikes!!! With that said, I need to stay focus on my spending. Oh btw, my son is now 26 and I'm grateful of the wonderful relationship that we share. Keep it up Budget Mom, the reward is wonderful and I look forward to seeing more.

    Many years ago, I got tired of being anxious each time a large bill like property taxes or house insurance came due so I started dividing up how much I needed to save each month and put it in a savings account. Anything that was due every 6 months or yearly was included in this. I documented it all on a spreadsheet and each time money was added to that particular item, it was listed as addition or subtraction on the spreadsheet. Any extra that we had was put in the savings account and listed as just savings. That way we drew interest off of the sinking funds, although we did not have a name for them back then. Not only did I have the money to pay these bills but also made a little off of them during the time they were in the account. When it came time to pay the bill, I drew the money out of the savings and deposited it into the bank account. Solved the anxiety problem and made extra money too

I live on a fixed income and it’s saved me from massive stress and anxiety. I can now pay for things and not use a cc and seeing that I may have money leftover makes me feel good.

Just one suggestion; in the BBP spiral instead of putting the pocket folder in the back I wish it was in front so when we print off extra things we see them when we open our BBP :) I was able to pay off only one store card which I'm super proud about because I lost my job and when I found a new one it was below my normal salary range. My goal is to pay off the other ones I have in 2022! For a HY savings accounts, I also have multiple ones with Synchrony so I can try to earn a little extra money.

    So I follow Dave Ramsay and stumbled upon your video out of curiosity because he talks about sinking funds too. In complete honesty, I stayed away from creating and using sinking funds but your video outlined how they can be so helpful! Gave me a totally different perspective because I always thought they were used for HUGE expenses like purchasing a car in the future, a downpayment, or something large. But Christmas, birthdays, valentines days deserve them equally. I love Christmas but dislike my budget every year because we are that family who spend a whopping extra $2,000 EXTRA in December because that is when all of the Christmas expenses come out. But I am reconsidering and I thank you for making this video to help people like me understand!

    hi, I started my envelope journey in august. I am surprised how paying yourself first and setting aside just a few bucks has really helped my family. I am also tracking my spending it is shocking to see it in black and white. Eating out adds up, Yikes. As for savings, I needed to buy my kids school pictures and I was able to save almost the full amount needed. It felt so good to only have to find 10 bucks then all of it. I know next year I will have all the money in cash.
