Girl, if you’re spending less than $500 on groceries a month you are killing it! I try to be conservative and I still can’t keep it under $300 a week 😭 I love this video. This really inspired me to pay better attention to what I’m spending and what I’m saving
@RebeccaSam272 6 ай бұрын
Loved this! I agree with the other commenter, a what I spend in a week video would be great. Some other finance related video ideas are 2024 finance goals, budget friendly meal ideas, savings tips, and budget updates.

Girlllll don't feel bad about spending money on food! Also I''ll share my Canadian grocery experience with you ... might make you feel better. I spend $600-700 on groceries as a single person. It's absolutely insane up here! Thanks so much for sharing this I love budgeting videos!

financial literacy is SOOOOO important especially for us women. learning about personal finance, budgeting, emergency + sinking funds high-yield savings, IRAs etc was the best thing I could have done for myself. feeling in control of your money and having peace of mind that you're prepared if anything comes up (health, job loss etc) is priceless 💸

would love to see a budgeting series this year! one of my intentions for 2024 is to be more financially literate. a couple more tips from a 25 year old also learning about managing her money: 🔆 I have a weekly “budget meeting” with myself to stay accountable with regularly updating my purchases & adjusting my non-fixed expenses for the rest of the month (I can also stay on top of any funny business with delayed payments, pending purchases, etc.) 🔆 I have a rule with online shopping where I’m not allowed to buy anything at first sight… if I can put stuff in my cart and then wait 24 hours, I usually end up spending waaayyyyy less and am overall more intentional about what I’m buying 🔆 I’ve been paying off my credit card balance 2x per month instead of 1x, and not only has it done wonders for my credit score, but it also makes me more aware of how much money I actually have available (and then those payments don’t sting so much lol)!

Your grocery budget seems so low actually for 2 people! Mine is almost double for 2 people. So you're doing great.
@genevaalynn 6 ай бұрын
Loved this video!! Question; after every month is over, do you just continue using the same chart and redo all of your numbers? Or is there a way to make a copy and have month #2 down a few lines on the same page? Sorry hopefully that makes sense 😅 thanks so much for all the helpful info 🤠
@lindseyhughes 6 ай бұрын
I believe you could move month #2 down a few lines in the template! It should be fully customizable/changeable. I would probably just keep my template the same & copy it from month to month and adjust my new amounts paid. Some amounts would be the same month to month :) whatever is easiest for you!

I think $300 a month on groceries is amazing. I make a lot less money than you and I spend about $500 a month, and that’s when I’m trying to budget. It was more than that before. I eat pretty much all my meals at home though. I hardly ever go out to eat. And that includes ingredients for homemade dog food.
@funnsizedd123 6 ай бұрын
I spend $350 MINUMUM every 2 weeks on groceries. It’s ridiculous

Needed this so much Lindsey!!! You have no idea how much a template helps when finances just naturally feel overwhelming! Thankful to have been following you since the pink room days and to be crushing the girl boss ERA together 💖🫶🏻
