Hi! I am extremely indecisive when it comes to choosing from different options when I am really excited about buying an item (such as a budget planner). So I decided to just use a notebook I already had and this video showed up on my feed!
Thank you so so much

Also, this is my very first time budgeting (first full-time job, apartment, etc.) so I’ll try this out for a year and if I stay persistent I’ll reward myself with a fancy budget planner later 😄

Very nice. No stikers no expensive materials and using the esential pen paper and highligter. It function perfect for me.

i wanted to thank you for your videos. I'm very ashamed of my debt, even though i keep accumulating on it....(smh). your openess and realness on your debt amount, how you put it out there help me face the actual number of my debt. i was afraid to see that number in black and white but seeing you put it out there for us to see helped me be brave and to face it also. Thank you for this video and the courage you gave me to face my debt and the true number i need to confront and start paying down.

OMGeee! - I randomly ordered the Mintra notebook a few days ago & knew this was how I wanted to use it. Feels like destiny to come across your video. I haven't watched the full video yet & I already love it - Thanks for posting!

Been searching for days for a good idea of what to include in the budget planner I am trying to lay out. This is BY FAR the most useful information I have found! I am making my own pages for an old happy planner cover/discs/dividers but using your layout as a guide.

I usually use the budget mom but I decided this coming year to do it in a notebook, that way I can make it the way I want to do it. Thank you for the video.😊

new subscriber!! this year I’ve decided to have a more hands on technique on our finances. I’ve been researching and watching yt budget videos and felt a little overwhelmed. I came upon your channel and this is exactly what I needed. simple and easy to follow and recreate. thank you so much. please keep sharing and I’ll keep watching and learning. 😊

I have done a budget notebook, but have been looking for catagorgies seeing as I am new to budgetting. Thank you SO

[BasicandBalanced]

I love this ❤ It's so important to start where you are.

I prefer the pen and paper approach. When you write items down on paper it helps you think more about your budget. You can open up that notebook anywhere you are without needing to rely on a computer which is a nice bonus.

Love this. I use a smaller notebook and I do something similar but weekly. Last year I used 100 sheets notebook and it worked for the whole year. I bought a 200 sheets for this year. Been looking for more ideas to add. Thanks. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[subiediva]

I never noticed you had labels on your highlighters. I just did the same thing I always forget my colors and categories 😍

[CreativeThinking]

Absolutely beautiful presentation. Thanks for sharing. Have an amazing day.👏👍

[sherrystephens]

Great series! I am enjoying your budget spreadsheets, but pen and paper budgeting is awesome. I didn’t know you have a newsletter.

[everythingkendra]

Crazy, I was thinking about making videos on how to build your own budget planner💞

[juliewilber]

Looking forward to all the videos! I am going to set up a notebook like this.

[AL-fkbh]

This is exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you for sharing it. I see so many templates available for purchase but am never really sure which one will work for me & I like to create my own. I'll try this & looking fwd to watching the rest of the vids in this series.

Just found you and love your simple budget setup planner. I do a similar thing but use a bullet journal purchases from Amazon or Walmart to accomplishing planning. I also use excel to keep the budget over if balances and account information and print out and clip in the journal. Love these videos and I’ve subscribed to your channel
