Yes girl boss videos are back. Please share a what I spend in a week video if you are open to it!

[RebeccaSam]

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.

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

[crystalcreator]

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!

[EmilyHummingbird]

This video came at the perfect time. I need to up my girl boss game and not feel like I’m living paycheck to paycheck completely. Thank you for sharing this important topic! ❤️

financial literacy is 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 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)!

Yes, love financial videos. I’m Trying to budget now for home renovations.

[breemartinez]

omg you were one of the first youtubers I watched when I was younger and needed help with makeup.. here you are years later helping me budget as an adult!!! :')

In Canada, my partner and I spend like 600$ combined per month on groceries. Prices are crazy out here! Good on your for budgeting $300, that’s super cheap! At least from my perspective.

[mrs.graham]

Ugh I needed this video! I recently just got demoted basically and had to take a major pay cut. I’m having to rethink my spending and savings and budgeting. I write everything in my notes app but a Budget app I might have to look into!

[jamieavernaa]

I love these videos! Definitely more like this would be cool mixed in with your vlogs. I love the real life advice stuff, especially since it isn't your "specialty" or the main point of your content. it feels more authentic and relatable. Love it Lindsey!!!!

[melissab]

I loved this video! Thanks for sharing your tips! I’ve been trying to get more into budgeting this year too.
