August 2024 Budget Recap | Budget By Paycheck

Not only do I show where my dollars went, but I also discuss if I stuck to my budget limits.

What do you do with your budget after the month is over, and you’re ready to begin a new month? Most people don’t realize it, but your spending throughout the month gives you some incredibly helpful information.

One of the first steps to creating and sticking to a realistic budget is tracking your expenses. Your spending is the underlying foundation for creating a budget and ensuring that your budgets in the future are successful.

If you are not aware of where your money is going, you can’t make the best decisions for your dollars. Today, I am going to show you how to extract all of the vital information from your expense trackers using the "Where Did My Money Go?" Worksheets.

I love the monthly budget recaps!!! I've been using the BBP method since late 2017, and I still love the reminders and guidance these videos give.

It's our 18th wedding anniversary, and I have a friend dog sitting.

Instead of going away and spending hundreds of dollars, I've decided to do a "This or that date night" all weekend long. This is where you pick one card, and we eat out. If you pick the other card, we eat at home.
Infound a bunch of ideas online and evwn printed out "42 FREE DATE IDEAS".

Do you combine grocery and fast food as one category? Also can you do another video of breaking down how to set up your budget workbook please 😊

[MonicaBlas]

I’ve followed you off and on for a bit but where would I go to get started? I know we have room to save and pay off debt. It’s just lack of discipline and planning

[spiritualsoulchild]

Do you not write your bills on your expense tracker and highlight? I know it's under fixed expenses but why does it not get a highlight and tracked on expense sheet if it comes out of the checking account?
