Everything she did on the video is on the free version. As a beginner having a budget helps you be aware of where your money is going. Just because you don’t need it or don’t like it doesn’t mean you should waste your time hating on it. Everyone is different you just gotta find what system works best for you

I always enjoy your content, but there is one area where I disagree with your advice. You literally said that the one thing missing from her budget was giving and you were adding in the 10% for that and then in the moment your saying she had to cut out spending on Christmas gifts. In this case giving to her loved ones may be more important to her than giving to a church or random charity. I realize how good it feels to be able to donate to a cause important to your heart, but it's equally important to some people to participate in holiday traditions with family.

As a Christian, which Rachel boldly says she is, we are to give the first 10% to God, so I don't see Rachel ever leaving that out. It's a priority thing that keeps your heart remembering where we believe our money comes from. That's not what everyone believes, but I appreciate that she doesn't change her stance on that.

To all the people saying 10% tithing is mandatory due to religious reasons, Rachel straight up said in one of the Dave Ramsey shows that if you don't have the money to tithe, then you don't have to and can always do it when you feel comfortable or have the money. I'm pretty sure all these youtube channels are technically still owned by the Ramsey business so I'm assuming she's just following whatever the culture of the company follows. It's like when George got chewed out by Dave for saying something contradictory on "his" KZfaq channel.

I guess it really doesn’t matter what the Ramsey family believes when it comes to their tithing. Rachel just added $310 to this woman’s debt, now called tithing. Nix the giving and concentrate on giving to yourself to get out of debt. THEN be generous. She’ll be out of debt a lot faster, $310 x 12 is a LOT of money in this budget. Rachel did a great job in helping her see the end of the road. Put that $310 to debt FIRST. 😊

These videos are great, really. But I would like to see someone who done their debt-free scream, what their everydollar budget looked like for the time they paid off their debt, a real scenario from the past. We budget for 2 years and it never works out to the dollar, not even the 100 sometimes. We make good progress, we do better than we thought 1 year ago, but I am curious if we do something worse than others or this is really good and I just chase an unrealistic goal each month.

Instead of upping her side hustle. I would volunteer to cover the giving. I agree her side hustle is a bit low. 4 to 5 hrs a day on a 2nd job or for 20 hrs a week even Mcdonalds crew in my rural area get 12 an hour. After taxes thats like 850 to 1000 per month depending on how much your state taxes are (TN has no state taxes). The other option would be to push the wedding date out farther if possible to lower the amount shes having to save for it. Adding 600 just in side hustle even if she keeps xmas saving adding tithing/giving allows for an extra 190 a month. Obviously more money available if not giving or giving time instead of money. Lastly, she could go to a different gym instead of 170 a month for cross fit. planet finess is 10 a month. She can always do cross fit when the budget gets better.

Pets are not something that people can or should be able to "get rid of" easily. Would you tell someone in debt to get rid of their child because the kid eats too much? No, you wouldn't. For a single woman she is probabably very emotionally attached to that dog, it is her family, her (I hate to say it, but it does emphasize the emotional bond) "child", posibly even a source of protection or at the very least sense of security. Linda, if your first thought is "get rid of the dog" then please, don't ever get a pet.
