Thank you so much for actually showing your real process. It’s so much more helpful to see you work through it rather than just telling us how you do it. I love the colored stickers idea.

[ZoeysMusings]

I love a good budget setup 🙂 I agree that budgeting weekly helps one stay on track more. Great video, Alaina!

[margie]

Wow I am so happy to found you, at 67 yrs young I am gonna used this system to help me reach my 3 yr goal to retiring better organized and prepared with everyday life, I subscribed today looking forward to you

[TKela]

I’ve been really slacking with my budget and the has given me inspiration to get back on it. Thanks! 💖

[klprater]

Great video as usual. I'd welcome the setting up of the digital business budget.

[princesskhiya]

Hi Alaina, watching from the UK. love your videos, you are such an inspiration. Thank you soo much.
Yes please to the electronic version

[itsthatbudgetgirl]

I’m always inspired by your videos. Good idea on the credit cards, pay more on the credit cards to make it a negative balance this way as you use it you not incurring interest.

I have June set up. I love your organizer. It has helped me so much. We are in the midst of getting out of debt.

Hey Alaina from Houston. Thanks for sharing.

[romandelgado]

This video is exactly what I was looking for and more! Thank you!

I have a similar financial planner called Invest in Yourself. I've been using it for 9 months and finally figured out the calendar is for bills, not appointments, duh! Oh, I like adding the birthday because there's a gift cost involved. Mine also has a section for This Month's Checklist, I'm not sure what that's for. I see the financial goals section too, but mine were kind of vague. The ripping out of pages is giving me elementary school trauma, LOL. My food bill went up too, price increase is part of it, but stocking up to have 3 months of shelf-stable meals is also part of it. My downfall is credit card debt. Thanks so much for this, I just subscribed to hopefully get myself straightened out, been carrying tens of thousands of dollars from a business closure during the Great Recession 10 years ago.

The planner looks great. I like to do my budget once a month on paper & keep up with the transactions on an app. I can't spend too much time doing budget weekly. It will give me anxiety 😬

[jesslivetoday]

Great video. Love your channel. Just ordered your planners last week. Can’t wait to start using them. Quick question, how do you budget for gas?

[adonnaharley]

Where might I be able to find a planner like this? I love the idea of the monthly calendar, the monthly budget break down and the paycheck break down!

[ofcimawkward]

I would get so nervous making my budget zero out with little to no wiggle room. I do have a question though, your last week the 27th-3rd. you didn't include your mortgage payment on the 1st, like the 1st of June. will that just come out the week of July 4th?

[juliawells]

Hi there! Just wondering how come you didn’t budget anything for gas/vehicle expenses?

[JessicaAnderson-ydxv]

Hi, love your videos. The weekly paycheck breakdown pages are different in this video than on the website. It might just be me and I overlooked something. Is there somewhere we can download the specific weekly budget breakdown sheets you used in this video?

[tonialkire]

I’m watching your videos for the first time. I don’t see $ for cars or gasoline? Where do those fit in?

[jamieboutwell]

After years of searching this is the closest I have come to “Budget Planner Peace”! I would be ordering it right now but there’s just not enough lines for bills on the monthly budget for us and I can’t figure out a way to make it work? Not sure when you started selling this but do you plan on updating for 2023? If so please put way more space for bills on the monthly. Otherwise, perfection! Great job. 😀

[rorojagg]

I have way more fixed expenses than this allows for. I wish planners had more lines for this. Like what do larger families use ?
