      Most successful people started from nothing. They didn’t wait for the opportunity to knock but created the opportunity on their own by working hard. Thankgoodness i found Mr carlos kingston a pro forex trader, now I have been trading with him for about 7 mounths now and I earn up to $15,000 weekly. i guess this is the epic start to a new chapter in my life. I just feel like more evevryone should be made aware of this opportunity, feel free to contact him @carlos_1uptrades on Instergram his indeed a genius

    Dear Alaina, I just wanted to tell you that after watching at least 25 of your videos, and watching this video at least 3 times... I finally set up a budget. I spent $6.49 at Walgreens for supplies for my own Frankenplanner, which was a soft cover green 3 ring binder, 3 school folders in bright colors, and set of pens [I have pens, but the pack came with a RED pen, which I needed]. I came home and I cut apart my $5 Walmart "planner" which was really just an extra large datebook that I used as place for me to store my mail in the month it arrived. I cut apart my 3 folders to make 6 pockets to hold mail, bills, etc. I moved my label tabs that I had made for the Walmart datebook into this new thingy I made - it is pretty ratchet but maybe functional. My "planner" is actually a bullet journal and I did not want to try and fit all this into it. Then I printed out some simple tables I made in Word, punched holes, and labeled all my sheets. I used my bujo markers to make little colored dots on my month calendar next to my bills [no stickers could be found at Walgreens] to color code them. I did not have the nice dividers you do, but I had the covers of my Walmart planner, when cut apart, work fine. Ok best of all... I actually went and logged in to every bill account I have to find out when they are actually due and exactly how much they usually are. Wow, this is a big deal for me. I usually put my head in the sand. I also went looking for my few subscriptions to see when those will hit my bank. I added up everything and subtracted everything and I hope it is all correct. Right now, bc I have to renew my license plates plus I got a parking ticket [grrrr] I am $175 over budget. Sigh. But at least now I know. I might be able to buy less groceries, I don't know. It is my birthday this month so I might get some cash. Sorry for the long comment but I just wanted you to know there is someone out there trying.

Very cool you are an average family carving out your piece of the American pie. Plus you have a great voice for videos and are very clear about what you are trying to convey.

    Loved the videos. It was quite helpful to see how you did October. So I now have your budget planner. I am lost on how to start. So do I just list everything I owe into categories for the month and what I am currently spending is basically the budget to start off with??. I noticed these were weekly entries, is that correct, you pay yourselves every week and then budget every week??

    Thanks for this video. My husband is self employed and I’ve been trying to find a good way to “pay” us and get the income into our personal budget. Do you keep a certain amount in the business account and transfer anything over that? Or, do you transfer a certain amount to personal and leave whatever is left in business? I’m having a hard time with this.

      I have a set amount that I pay us. It's considered our payroll. I don't go over that amount. I will leave everything else in the business account and then pay us a "bonus" at the end of the year if the business has done really well.
