Rule number 1, pay yourself first. Start at 10% from each check. In your example of each check at $1200 each should be $120 saved FIRST. Even before you pay bills. Otherwise you will never have savings or an emergency fund. Most Americans pay bills first and only add to savings last. Millionaire's swear by it and would be able to build wealth of they didn't pay themselves. In your example you should cancel things like Christmas, giving, and no going out to eat. Great video!
Hello Blair I been working on this
I no longer save for Christmas or eating out đđ
I struggle with this, pay yourself first...

How can you grow a savings if you can't fully cover your bills 1st?
Thank you so much for this. Iâve a very low income so I pay myself 10% 1st and the rest going on everything else and now Iâm left with money each month
Thatâs a great idea! Good job
Wish someone told me this in the last 6yrs, right now i would be singing a different song. Am still grateful that i landed on your channel while looking for something to help me gain financial freedom. Am in bad shape. Well, i also know it's never late to start â€
Itâs never too late. I was struggling so bad. Things are getting better by Gods Grace
Budgeting might be the call to get started! đ
I love your penmanship!I started with a notebook and pen but later purchased the cute binder and envelopes to keep me motivated. Because like you said it is CHALLENGING.Thanks for sharing this info
We need to keep that motivation to save and budget our income, thank you for watching. đ
Iâm just the opposite. Iâve tried using a planner but I always end up using pen and paper, or I use certain free printables
Oooo

Thank you my friend
Wonderful and informative budgeting video! Good luck
Thank you đ
Good for you for prioritizing well and cutting out AMZ and other non essential things. I find it a bit confusing why you wouldnt just go through and pay or put 1/2 of each one in your envelopes. It would be so much easier, and less likely that you will choose to NOT put it in one week or another. You have no money at all allocated to spending. You have to allow yourself a little fun money or you will not make it. Its like dieting; if you cut out an entire food group, you will eventually binge on that food group due to feeling deprived.
You have made such a great point!
Fun is needed or else you feel overworked just paying đž bills, thank you for your advice I appreciate it. đđ
Thanks so much for this â€ïž
Thank you for watching. Iâm hoping it will help with your budgeting đ
Thank you! I found your system easy and less stressful.
Iâm glad đ it helped
This was the best explanation ever.
Thank you đ
This was very helpful! Cause I need to know where all my money goes
Every penny we spend needs to be tracked, I would spend here and there and money would vanish. Good luck with it.đ
Very helpful beginning

Do you make another line for small trips or vacation? For example, my husband flies home every thanksgiving. And we usually drive to a MLB baseball game (SF Giants) at least one time a year, and that's tickets and hotel. So do you estimate what those costs are, then make a line and save for them? And what about splurges? Do you just not ever buy anything that you want? Say your favorite foundation is on sale from 55 to 30 and you're almost out. Where does that money come from?
And my husband gets paid per week, so dividing up my bills will be difficult. Like do I just divide bills into 2? Like my power is about 160 too, but taking 40 per week seems complicated, so maybe take 80 for two weeks? I could see doing the rent divided by 4, but some small bills would be too much work to divide by 4.
Hello, I could suggest saving another row for extra vacation/baseball game.
For example foundation⊠all those extra things I am on a strict budget where I donât spend a penny on myself., but that has changed a bit Iâm working another job and Can afford it now. Iâm taking money and putting it aside to personal.
About your power example it is high but you have to make your budget what works for you. For example taking $80 for 2 weeks if itâs do able
Just donât stay with out money when you budget. Make your income have a place to go, assign all your money a place.
Good luck
Thank you for watching
I like this videoâ€
đ„ł makes me happy that you liked it đ
Fixed means each month is the same $$, variable changes. It doesn't matter what it is. I keep hearing variable being things you don't need to necessarily spend money on. That's not variable. That's optional. Basic living expenses are rent, food, utilities, for example.
True, True
Iâve made changes to mine budget because of cost of living and prioritize the Must paid bills
You have such a soothing voice
Thank you đ

Love this video.. straight to the point and done... 1,2,3.. Thank you for not complicating this for me.. unlike the other videos with all these long nails and unnecessary envelopes that they don't need.. thanks again..
đđ you made me laugh, thank you for coming to my channel.
Love you penmanship. I wish mine was just legible lolđđđ
Youâre too sweet
Half the time I donât like my writing đ
Hello! I love the Video. My question is after watching this on and your Sinking funds video were do you get the money to put into the sinking funds categories because I didnât see it in the budget plan. Sorry if this is a crazy question.
In this video we were living on one income, bi-weekly pay
I split that most be paid with both checks.
I take money from the bank to pay for bills and sinking funds I use the cash method
Thank you for watching
I love this video! But what if my paycheck is bi-weekly and also changes all the time depending on the week. đ
Budget for priority Bills. What are bills that must be paid?
đđđđ
Thank you so much . I am Canadian , I plan to try the $5 dollar challenge Question where do you get the little envelopes. Please and thanks
Some envelopes I made myself
Some Can be printed on a printer for free. đ
I need help with money management. I am trying to spend less. I save $200 a month because I quit smoking. I have been a non-smoker for almost eight years. I save money because I don't buy cigarettes anymore. I am a non-smoker and don't want to waste money on cigarettes or cigars. I save money but prices went up for things I used to be able to budget for. Great video on money mgt!
Good for you, đ„ł thank you Congratulations
Keep to the good risk
I agree with other commentators you have beautiful penmanship, would you please share the pen you are utilizing?
Hello, itâs fine tip pen gear, available at Walmart đ
Question if youâre starting the budget the 1st day of the month and youâre separating money biweekly how can you pay the rent if itâs due the 1st of the month? How can I start doing the budget and you only have the half that is due for example I get pay weekly which means that mortgage will be divided by 4 ? Iâm confused how can I start if I have to pays expenses every week different otherwise I will not have the money together because Iâm dividing it into 4 if my water its due 5th and electric the 10th Iâm kind of confused
Hello this is a step that I forgot to mention, you have to budget a week or two before the bills come in
For example paycheck 28 and 7 off the month
Budget with your 28th day check off the month before, for upcoming bills
Video soon explaining this
Good luck đ
Thank you for explanation. Question what pen are you using? đ
Bought them at target
Walmart had them too đđ
Thank you for sharing, I understand how to start-- but how do you start? Example: If I have bills due now, and Iâm just starting this method⊠do I pay the bills then start this projection method, or?
YOu can do it that way. Ill do an updated video explaing this. Pay what you can then start a budget in writing.Thank you for watching.
Please.....what kind if markers are you using and where can I ourchase them? Tyđ
Target and walmart have them
Fineliner Pens, .3mm,
đ
I loved watching to video
I used to split 1/2 my bills until one month I forgot to pay to other 1/2. I know you said you can do that too. I don't want to use cash envelopes I don't want to go to the bank and withdraw money. Then I am constantly moving my cash envelope money around. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks
This works for me, If the money stays in the bank, itâs gone
With careless spending. This is what works for me. Unless you leave all the money in the bank and be very strict on how much is left for fun money, eating out, spending, etc.
Hope this helps

How do you divide car payment and rent in half if both due at beginning of month and get paid bi weekly
YOu have to bugdet with the prior checks.find something that works for you. Have a Good Day
I used cash for my food and gas only in my envelopes
Thatâs great!!
@@planbudgetsave I am doing a 3rd envelop call xmas
Question, if your car loan is due on the 12, but youâre splitting it over 2 checks, wonât it be paid after the due date? Iâm struggling with splitting the payment but also paying on time. Thanks for your help!
Hello, would you be able to pull the whole amount of cash in one check? For example you get paid on the 1st and 12,
The check that comes first you can take out the full amount to pay it in time. You are able to take out half from first check and half the next but in order for you to pay it on time that first check of the month will be needed to pay it
Good luck
Hopefully this made sense
Thatâs why you need to be one month ahead of your bills. Like using July income to pay August bill in that way you already have the full bills amount waiting to pay next month bills âșïž
@@tu6166 you answered the question I just asked! Thank you
Most companies allow you to change the due dates.
Yes .give to your pets at least $5 for food, veterinary and hygienic prod.
đ
So is check #1 for the 1st month and check #2 is for the 2nd month?
Same month
Biweekly pay đ
Mint mobile will cut your cell to 15.00 per month. Love them and I believe T-Mobile bought them and still 15.00 per month
I will look into that
T
Mobile donât have service where I live, when my sister comes to visit she has no service. She has T-Mobile
Thank you đ
What gets me so confused is if you have a set due date then how can you split the payments up like that wouldnât that make your payments late???
I had to make changes and work on some because I was falling behind on some. So if my house is due the first I have to budget with the last check of the month
For example the 28th
Updated video coming đ
What I did was put it on my credit card and make bi weekly payments on that card.
what is matter what calculator to use and what if you don't know the total cost can just calculate all of the costs then write it at the top?
You can do what works for you, if you donât know the full amount, then you can over budget by a few more dollars. You have money left over or you can add it to sinking funds
Calculator from walmart
I have a account weâre i put all bills money that does not have a card I have a second checking for gas and stuff to pay with debit card and I have 3 different savings 2 are automatically withdrawn from my checking and I donât see the money one is with capital one savings and another with American Express savings that gives me. 3.5% interest better then most places were your money donât grow the 3 savings is with my bank and that one is for emergency founds is not a good idea to keep money from rent at home especially for a must pay bill keep on a account that you donât have a card. Better my opinion I also split everything in 4 I get pay every week and this rest works for me and the cash envelope as well â€
You sure have a great order to it all đđ
Your hands are so smart..
Like that you don't speak too fast. What about the months when you get 3 pay checks in the month, how does that work?
Exactly something contradicting to me and something I canât figure out.
For example September checks dates 1,15,29
Last check is to pay the beginning of the bills for the following month of October. So is there really a third check??? đ€·ââïž
Some one help!!!đđœââïž
What is the pen you are using?
Thin markers, pen gear they sell them at walmart
What app fo you use on your tablet?
Hi Tia, I use good notes.
Hereâs the link to the video on budgeting using that appâŠ

I have a download on Etsy for the budget sheet I use. đ
Thank you for subscribing.
If my husband pays rent and utilities would I still add that? Same thing with phone and car insurance.
Are you budgeting together? If combining income then yes you combine all bills paid and you would include rent. Happy new year
I would hope that family budgeting included the entire family. Two individuals with different priorities and goals will not work. Budgeting is a team effort.
I tried everything but can't get started so what's way you start with a check once a month
One check only, you budget for the whole month. Put money aside for everything you spend, create a Budget list.
what pen are you using?
Pen gear you can find these at target or walmart
đ
Ok I see you included your sinking funds in with the bills I didn't know so I didn't do that but whatever is extra I could just use that and make a sinking fund right ? It comes out to be the same yes ?
Exactly!! Money that is left you put towards your stinking friends
@@planbudgetsave Thank you sooo much this was so helpful
About recording what you actually spend. Can you or anyone recommend an app (not for i-phone - i have a samsung) where I can put in how much mony i can use every month and then have different catagories and then when i get out of the shop i can put what i have spent right under the categories and the app will automatic detract the amount and tell me how much i have left? I am not talking about a budgdt app. What i need is an app where i registeer my income after i have paide all the nessesities (on amount) and then can put how much i have spent in and the app registrer it and detraks . Only one income/salery category and multiple outgoing categories. Not a budgetin-spp. I am not so good at english as it is my third language but i hope this is understandible and that someone can recommend an app for me because i can only find apps where i have to write how much i can use on this or that. Thank you.
Hello I understand what you mean.
I have an app thatâs not a budget app, itâs on iPhone though. Iâm not sure if they have it on Samsung
Itâs called Bills
I hope you can find what you are looking for. Thank you for watching my video

Ur Car insurance is $60 đłđłđłđł. Theyâre killing Me Iâm quadruple that đ€Šđœââïž
Oh no honey, Iâm doing the sinking fund car insurance. I save every paycheck and pay in full at the end of the year. I save that way đ
đđ€
Hello. May i ask what is a sinking fund?..
Shit between me nd you I jus stopped paying my insurance⊠no tickets no accidentsâŠn my insurance is STILL almost 300 a month.. feel like I was being scammed. Thought it would go down but it hasnât. I havenât had insurance these last 3 months
Electric.....you can call and get an average.....to pay the same amount....mine is $125....which is so much easier đ
Weâre on a savings plan that we donât pay much after 7pm
Iâm worried weâll pay more that way even though it averages about the sameâŠ
We donât pay much in the winter time
But in the summer weâre do
Thank you Iâll have to call and get a quote on that
What car insurance is $60âŠ
Hello, I should have been more clear
Sorry about that
This bill is a sinking fund, I pay yearly and save the cash each month to pay for the year. I also save by paying yearly. Thanks for watching
As soon as you have your rent money, pay it right away
Best advice ever!!!
