June 1st 2019 Paycheck Overview

Рет қаралды 51,749

5 жыл бұрын

Today, I am bringing you with me on my budgeting journey. We will be going over the paycheck that I received on May 1, 2019. I am a paycheck budgeter, which means I create a paycheck every time I get paid.
Before, I got paid on the 5th and the 20th, but now that I am self-employed full-time, I get a paycheck once a month, on the first day of every month.
In this video, I walk you through every step of my budget and give you the details into what it looks like to use a successful realistic budget is someone's every-day life.
In June, I made two huge changes to my budget - I increased how much I am budgeting for my checking account cushion and I added a brand new cash envelope category!
I have been sharing my real budget for over a year on Instagram, but only recently started sharing my budget on KZfaq. By sharing my actual budget, I hope to show you the process and steps behind paycheck budgeting. I also hope it helps you understand the psychological decisions behind money management.

Your budgeting method is literally the best method! I will give Dave Ramsey credit for motivating me to want to get my financial life together but your method once you understand exactly where to start is the best method there is.

Loving your tracker, I will buy one! Love that it has no dates on it. I’m not loving how the savings (sinking funds etc)comes AFTER the bills and variable expenses. I’m sure I can simply use it a different way and just hop,around subtracting, just thought I’d comment incase a lot of people prefer for constructive critics sake for the next generation of the tracker next year! I think it would be helpful to encourage the habit of savings and “paying yourself first”. That is how we do things and it’s an important mentality in the order in which I budget.

I bought the printable planner last night. Trying to get my first working budget is hard. I really like your set up but it's a little different than what I'm used to. Add to that I'm taking over our budget after getting married this year. I've been a long time Dave Ramsey fan so other than mortgages we have less than 1200 in debt. However.... We've not been budgeting. Or saving. And we have several expenses we are paying yearly. Trying to figure out where to plug these in. Such as home insurance. Car tags and registration. Property taxes. Where would you suggest plugging these in? Under bills? Or sinking funds?

What do you do if your fixed expenses are over? Like if you estimated on the high side but still too low? And on the flip side, what do you do if you have extra from fixed expenses? Use towards savings?

love your system. I was wondering why you call discretionary category your "sinking" funds.

Question for ya, why don't you fully fund your sinking funds and then focus on your savings goal? I hope this isn't a stupid question. Thanks!

Love your videos! I have a Pay by Budget book and I am trying to prep myself to start using it. I’m nervous because I have cc debt and just not sure how to pay that down efficiently. Also, when you use cash for gas, don’t you find it less convenient then being able to pay at the pump with your debit card? I have young children and find it to be a pain to take them out of the car especially in colder months to go in to pay cash when I could leave them in the car and just use my debit card for gas. Thoughts? Thank you!!

@tracywarfel3419 5 жыл бұрын

She mentions in an instagram tv video that you may want to keep your gas budget in your checking account, and swipe your card at the machine if you have small children. Just remember to include that part in the budget. If you have one car envelope and budget $200 for gas and maintenance ( $100 for gas and $100 for maintenance) you would keep $100 in your envelope and $100 in your checking. Your envelope would say you budget $200 but would only contain the partial $100. You have to remember to track thr spending on the back of your envelope for both the cash and the card swipe.

@candy2325 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t have kids and I pay at the pump. It’s way more convenient. I keep the amount I want to pay for gas in my checking account and use my card.

Renate Go Lucky girl! Me too! My car was in the shop for a week. I’m still making payment on it and the repairs cost us closer to $700. I had to register our truck in order to get around while my car was in the shop so that was an extra $200 something, it was my daughters birthday, her graduation, and my moms been sick in the hospital for 7 month... we’ve been driving 5 hrs round trip once or twice a week for 7 months with a lot of extra cost due to that and feeding us and our 3 kids while out of town. It’s never ending so we’ve started using credit cards which were all paid off and now they’re all maxed again. I wonder if it’ll get easier and feel like giving up and only paying what we need to survive

I get paid bi-weekly, single mom, with two teenage sons in sports.

I cannot work overtime because I am also taking online college courses.

Call your insurance company and see if they will negotiate a reduced payment or even final bill for you. If they won't, try doing that yourself. Get any changes in writting.
