    Great tips. The basic rule is to divide up after-tax income and allocate it to spend: 50% on needs, 30% on wants, and socking away 20% to savings.

    I'm shocked that it's already August. One of my coworkers said the other day that we're on week 21 of working from home. This pandemic has seriously warped my perception of time. Great tips and totally agree - budgeting is so important!

    Great video! Our number one focus for August is building our ER Fund more. I was inspired by your budget video. *new subscriber *

    Omg, I’m half asleep watching this and when you said you had some tea, I thought you meant gossip and then I remembered that’s the other side of CZcams I watch besides budgeting and finances 🥴 love the vid btw.

    My focus for August is student loan debt! That will be the case for quite some time, but I'm putting around 50%+ of my income towards it. I don't make that much, but I'm putting as much as I can towards my loans ESPECIALLY since interest is paused.

  • @JessieOpportunityCostInvesting

    This month is AUGUST!?! I have the same feelings lol a savings of 46% is incredible! Great update :)

    I am working on wrapping up my 3rd month of my emergency fund! I am floored that August is here also. 2020 has flown by but also feels like an eternity. Happy Friday!

    Yes! Budget expenses will be different for every month, and this month, many folks are finding a bigger expense in back to school supplies (especially if they now need to home school due to the pandemic)

    Wow when you get a house you’re going to feel great, because technically you’re allocating $5,800 right now toward housing!!!!! Wow! Hopefully you can get a mortgage for less than that :)

    Do you use your HSA for therapy expenses? I’m not sure if they’re an eligible expense, but would be nice if it was.

    • @DebtFreeMillennials
      @DebtFreeMillennials  Před 3 lety

      No, unfortunately it's not an eligible expense. I'll have to double check if CARES Act created an exception for that but doubtful... this country needs to be more proactive with mental health coverage.

  • @nicodemuswellington9762

    What kind of therapist?

    • @DebtFreeMillennials

      She is a licensed MFT counselor! I've been working with her for over a year now. Highly recommend therapy.

    Your camera keeps getting blurry then focus then blurry then focus etc. Is there something wrong with the auto focus ??

    • @DebtFreeMillennials
      @DebtFreeMillennials  Před 3 lety

      You mean while I'm at the table? It's prob auto-focusing on my hand moving.
