AUGUST 2022 BUDGET RECAP | Budget By Paycheck + Budget Tips

Ryen & I are talking about our August 2022 budget numbers! Not only do we show where our dollars went, but we also discuss if we stuck to our budget limits.

In this video, I'm sharing all of the exciting news leading up to my wedding that was in September, and Ryen shares a few things she was able to cash flow, as well as some travel she had. We also give an update on the 2022 products at The Budget Mom.

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.

The booklets worked really well to get used to this method. It prevented me from getting overwhelmed, and I could keep it on my desk without taking up a lot of space. Once I got comfortable, then I wanted it all in one big booklet LOL. Still recommend the box set though.

Love to see you both back! September was also a bit of a blur, but after 3 months of using this method, my husband and I reached our 1K savings goal + took a family vacation 🤩 love love love the BBP Method!

“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time”
I know some people are disappointed with the booklet discontinuation, but I hope people understand that having many different formats is really hard to upkeep, from a design perspective and from logistics and printing cost as well as warehouse costs. It is clear that TBM is trying to keep costs for consumers down while trying to upkeep as many products as possible, thank you! 💚💙💜

Glad to see you both back !
Congratulations on your wedding!

Kumiko and Ryen, it is so good to see you back! Thanks to this method, my husband and I got out of debt and saved enough to buy a couch for our family in cash! It is a beautiful used leather couch, and I could never have afforded it without the Budget by Paycheck method to get our money under control. It feels so good to buy with cash.

I love your videos. I think a big part of your success is the honesty that you bring to the table. I love that you’re willing to adapt to what the people want and need.

Thank you for the explanation on the full size workbook, I will finish my first book this year and I was looking for a new one but couldn't find it, I think I will give a try to the box set but definitely will be waiting for the full size next year. :)

[kimberlydavisson]

Thank you so much for your explanation of the full sized BBP workbooks. I'm so glad you will be doing the full sized again. Looking forward to what you have in store for us in the next two weeks!

[deniseprichett]

I loved the boxed set. I started in 2020 and the boxed set was easier less overwhelming. Now that I am on a hybrid schedule at work I like being able to take the monthly booklet with me. The writing down of the budget is key. You are more invested into your money. I used to do that in a black and d we bite composition notebook. But the BBPs in print for are much more appealing by it being a form you won’t forget the steps. 😊🎉
