    I am on a budget and will not be purchasing a planner or a budget planner. I have enough notebooks from back to school sales and I have enough stickers. Thanks for your ideas and helping me make a decision on what will work for me and my family.

    You are so right about tracking your spending. I’ve tried apps as well, but I find for me, pen and paper work best. Great diy ideas.

      Hi Sherry! As digital as everything is, financial apps just don’t work for me. Pen to paper is easiest and makes most sense to me. Thanks for tuning in!

    I get paid $500 every 2 weeks! And I’m maxed out on my credit card! I’ve been trying to budget and save money! This is definitely helpful for me to use on a daily basis!

    You are 100% correct, finances should be taught in depth in school.

    Oh, I love the mason jars idea! They are both cute and also inspiring to help to continue saving for things. I want to visit New Zealand but first I need to save for it! 🌄🌠☀️

    You have given several good ideas as to how I can keep track of my spending. I just have to make myself choose one of the many notebooks (I have a horrible notebook fetish) I already have and not waste money on a new notebook.

    • @lakiamaria
      @lakiamaria  Před 4 lety

      Start using them (lol). While I love a good notebook, I also love one that’s filled. Pick one and get started. Thanks for tuning in!

    classic happy planners cost $55 here in australia... so much more affordable in america it seems.. cant believe how many planners some youtubers have.. not sure if i am jealous or relieved!! :D

      Hi Kat! I know the prices overseas can be pretty steep. I love sharing both ends of the spectrum here on my channel. For those that love all the things, for those that like to see what's on the market, for those that want budget friendly options - I try to show a little bit of everything. Ultimately, it comes down to what works for you. That could be as simple as a list pad and a pen. Write your to do's, cross them off. That simple.
      Thanks for tuning in!

    I hadn't really set a budget in 2019. But the suggestion of 40/60 etc for savings and expenses is a really good idea.😁

    • @lakiamaria
      @lakiamaria  Před 4 lety +1

      Hi Charlie! I am far from a financial expert, but I’ve read quite a bit on this method and it’s been working wonders, especially since I get paid in a weekly basis. Thanks for tuning in!
