    I love your approach. I wish I could describe how much peace has come into my life after I went through an extreme frugal period in order to get out of paycheck-to-paycheck chaos. Now I already have the next 2 months of bills & groceries already "pre-paid".
    Hope the people watching this find their own peace and grace, too!

    Thank you for the idea. I have already prepared sinking fund for my birthday and Christmas after seeing your videos. My birthday is right after Christmas and we have a tradition of going out on dinner on that day. Last birthday I realized that it's putting a lot of burden for me in every December, that's why I decided to start making sinking fund for my birthday and Christmas.
    I'm considering making sinking fund for my clothing too after watching this. Thank you for the video ❤️ Keep blessing us with your ideas. Stay healthy and safe.

    Your channel is brilliant in every regard. All the information is useful, well thought out, perfectly presented and explained. I am older so my finances are in order but I am still picking up better ways of doing things here and there. I wish your videos were around in my 20s and 30s.

    I am really considering doing the cash envelopes. I normally just use my accounts to keep track of sinking funds, but I think the cash may be a good option. 💕 Looking forward to your vlog!

    Hello!👋👋 I also plan ahead on my sinking funds on expenses I already know I will be having. See you soon!😉🌸💛

  • @d.montgomery6113
    @d.montgomery6113 Před 3 lety +1

    How did you determine the amounts for each cash category? Do you put cash in weekly?

  • @amoyclarke7785
    @amoyclarke7785 Před 3 lety

    I love this. We do ours the same 😊 with a few differences. We both spend money so on paydays I move our everyday expenses (groceries, house, gas, entertainment, misc etc) into another checking we both have a card to and I use the Goodbudgets app to track our difference envelopes. And then my cash sinking funds are my personal sinking funds (salon, face/hair products, personal money)
    I love a good sinking fund 😊
    Question though, for things like car maintenance (tags, oil change, tires etc) that doesn’t cost thousands do you cash flow them or do you take them out of your pot of repair money?

    I like this system. I get paid once a month. Do you have any videos on how to do this monthly?

    How do you determine the amounts you are saving each week for your sinking funds?

  • @jenniferthomas-bieck5459

    Hello, I have a question about the app. Is this automatically payments? Maybe I want to put no money in one of the accounts one week, is that possible?

  • @lifewithxaye
    @lifewithxaye Před 2 lety

    How do you know when to add cash (and how much) to your cash sinking funds? That’s where I get stuck. I never know how to keep adding money.. if that makes sense.

      Hey! Yes. It depends on what level you pick but I believe it starts at $3 per month

    @Eelah3 Před 3 lety

    I didn’t realize that there is a few to use this app after 30 days. Are the ones u would suggest that do not have a fee? I started using the app and when I started etting up the rules, the fee came up. Is this fee for each fund account you set up or for your whole account no matter how funds you have?

    • @TheOrganizedMoney
      @TheOrganizedMoney  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey! Yes. It's a monthly fee of $6. I don't know of any savings apps that don't charge a fee but it's only the one fee (they only charge the whole account - not per fund)

    ugh I have a friend whose parents were heavy church goers then one day they were NOT ALLOWED to go to their sons wedding in the temple (latter day saints) because they we're not quite kept up with their tithe payments, (and they usually we're just not at this time) , after this they we're so dismayed and disgusted they left the church all together, I mean you do do, but anyone who pays tithe is being swinddled and ripped off but a church that gets rich from it's paritioners. God doesn't ask for your money.
