I just got my cash envelopes today and I laid out my monthly budget already for next month. I’m getting paid on Friday and I’ll officially be starting my budgeting journey thanks to your videos! This video got me so excited to calculate everything and schedule everything out when I get my check 😊 update: we can see a breakdown of our paychecks a couple of days before they’re deposited, so i budgeted it all out and i feel SO FREAKING GOOD about seeing a full breakdown of where i’m allowing my money to go! thank you so much for teaching me how to budget. i’m eternally grateful to you

I get paid weekly. I do the 1/4 method. Every bill gets devided into 4 and I put 1/4 in every envelope every week for the next month and on my last pay check the next months Bill' envelopes are all stuffed and I just deposit each on the day it's due. I only do 4 weeks. If there is a week 5 it's a bonus and mine to do as I wish..savings. ...treat. it was hard to start it and I was on a strict budget to save over 1000.00. .

I get paid weekly too! When I tell this to friends, they are jealous. JEALOUS! I also think if there is a week 5 paycheck it's such a blessing.

amy fletcher omg yes I do the same thing! It makes paying bills manageable, but i actually pay it weekly and don’t wait until it’s due to pay it because it helps cuts interest in half (my car bills)

Do you spend any money outside of this budget like lunch, nails, going to movies, or out for ice cream, random crap people always buy at like a Marshalls TJMaxx Walmart etc lol I need help in these areas Pretty good at the budgeting and prioritizing but what’s left over I tend to just spend just on day to day stuff

Man you make me want to buy a new planner. I haven't had one for 2 years I use my phone calendar and memos now😂 but you make them look so pretty

Haaaa. I don't know if everyone has their target bill due that day or not but that's the day mine is due too.

I am following everything you say, but would like your opinion if you have a minute? My wife and I are in a much different situation than you. While you are paying off your previous debt, we are using our single credit card to pay for all of our expenses, excluding our mortgage. Then at the end of the month, we pay the credit card off and we reap the benefit of getting hotel points for our yearly vacation. Do any of your bills or expenses go on a credit card? I know you breakdown each paycheck into which bills are paid. How does Dave describe this particular situation and/or how do you handle it yourself? Thank you!

I dont do that. All my bills whether for house expenses or general bills get taken out through my debit card. But Im not against earning points or cash back on creditcarda as long as you know how to manage you spending and are paying off the balance each month. As for Dave he would not approve. Hes stated this before in many of his videos. You cant convince that man that credit cards are a good thing whether you pay it off each month. He will forever preach cash or out of your checking account

you added a calendar extension to your regular notebook, correct? or did you get a planner?

Can someone please explain what shutdown is at 25:00?

😊

i like her she is real someone say reaal

Why not call it a Float Fund, so it has a more positive subconsciously psychological spin? And instead of a Shutdown fund, call it a Free-cation and you'll be much more likely to fund both of them! 😃
