How to Budget with a Low Income | Budget with Me!

I'm writing out a $2,000 monthly budget based off of my own budget when I was earning just $2k/month. I am collaborating with @NolanGouveia on this video, so be sure to check out his video to get more tips!

Sooo....if my take home pay is $2000 a month, but the cheapest 1 bedroom in my area starts at $2200.... It is kind of misleading to use 2012 prices to budget a 2023 wage. I am very frugal and just my electric bill is $200 a month, not $10

[earthyvibrations.]

Honestly the idea behind this is good but I feel like these numbers from 2011 should be scaled up to account for inflation

I get around $1000 a month and half goes to rent so its very hard to save but i try to put away $5 a week away but often find it hard to do so. I’m making it work though

[livingunashamed]

Haha this is similar to my income. You don't have to make a lot to live nicely. Don't forget to give guys! No matter what income always be giving back :).

[onegoalfinance]

Great walkthrough of creating a budget! Any weekly budgeters out there?

My debts mess me up in savings but im getting rid of them to finally be able to breathe. Even with my own studio($1740/month) ill now be saving at least $800 a month without my debts and this is with a high car payment! Its possible but just don't get yourself in debt with credit cards 😭

2k a month would be heaven for us lol. Family of 5 budgeting with $1200 a month.

[JeredtheShy]

I gotta admit "250 for the blow" passes the broke people sniff test

[rachaelmiller]

Wow extremely unrealistic to use 2012 prices in 2023 this is totally laughable to see you do this. Did you seriously think this would apply in 2023

[GoldenGirlBudgets]

Great collab! Also, I agree that no matter the income the method works the same. The numbers just look different.

Everytime she says "blow money" a little voice in my head says, "wink wink". 😅

[yearoldnewdriver]

I started budgeting this year in February. Thanks for the video!

[keichan]

when she said rent shoudlnt be more than 35% of take home pay and im paying 650 on 1200 xd

[vistosoambition]

Thank you this very close to what I have as money

[NolanGouveia]

Great video Justine! Way to break it down so clearly. This is so valuable for anyone with any income!! Nice collabing with you :-)

[alexisaubrey]

Hi,
living in 2023 there's no place that has rent that's under the 35% rule for me. especially living in a city.

[SearchingforSage]

Thank you for sharing! This is helpful and I'll definitely be using it.

So the moral of the story is people who make $15 an hour and are lucky enough to have a partnership with somebody or a friend who makes the equivalent make just about as much as this person makes in 2012 meaning that there has been no increased to the amount of money that we make, but the cost-of-living has tripled if not quadrupled over the last decade Seems as if our society has failed us

11:50 250$ for the bLoW? Gotta have that blow 👀🤣

[jdogswifty]

So you still paid off the 0% interest item to a family member first? I'm debating where to rack and stack a 0% interest credit card payment that was used for a single item that has 60 month interest free equal payments setup that pay it off by the 60th month.
