Today, I am closing out my June budget and showing the entire process!
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 three helpful worksheets.

If it helps anyone, when you're getting the percentages, instead of counting over the two decimals, to get your percentage just multiply by 100. Ex. Money spent / total income × 100 = your percentage in that category.

😊 thank you

Finally Miko, I just never bothered with those three worksheets until you walked me through it because I'm a visual learner. Keep the videos coming they're very helpful and take care.

@meekshouse21 4 года назад

This is the first time I truly understand how to complete these pages. Thank you Miko!!!

@dianabusby420 3 года назад

I would love to see you and Ryen filling out your workbook pages together, live. Just spread out at the table, start by adding up the trackers and talking about what you're doing and why. Is that something you would think about doing?

@ciannacoleman5125 2 года назад

I seriously love the budget planner you have designed, it is so clear thorough and easy to visualize. I don’t currently have the money to buy the planner but have made a rough version in a spreadsheet and after building the discipline to stick to it I will likely buy one. Physically writing something on paper with a good pen is just a better experience than typing.

@ashleelong5974 2 года назад

I am in the same boat. Check out her website she has several pages for free.

@amberstuart1836 2 года назад

I love this video so much! 🙌🏼 Also, the reason your budget was off $2 is because you’re start balance was actually $2103 instead of $2105. 😎 so you had a perfect budget actually!!

@phylicianguyen6063 Год назад

I thought I was going crazy! I was doing my math with Miko LOL

@amberstuart1836 Год назад

@@phylicianguyen6063 I was even thinking, it's just $2. But then I saw her sticky note said $2103 and she had wrote down $2105 to calculate her final budget and that's how I caught it lol.

@mindsetwithmarie676 2 года назад

I'd love to see another closing out the month more recent! Maybe with Ryan this time to see how she does it and extra tips she might give! I love your videos! Tfs ♥

@mzjennx 4 года назад

Ty so much for sharing this. Some how this makes so much sense! I’ve been following you since March, slowly watching all your video here, IGTV, reading your blog and doing the email course. I’ve learned so much so far and I think this one is the best video I’ve watched so far (or maybe it’s because it’s all making sense as I keep watching and keep doing it). Ty for your guidance! You are so helpful, thorough and inspiring!

@meaganbrown6502 4 года назад

I love all your videos, but this ONE....OMG....amazing and so helpful!!! i now fully understand how to fill out all the worksheets!!! thank you so so much for everything you do!!!

@k-diva1476 4 года назад

Best video ever! So helpful actually seeing and going through the process. I have the printable workbook and can’t wait to pre-order the upcoming workbook. Your channel and workbook has been such a blessing in my life. God bless you!

@cheer0410 3 года назад

@tarellbain1436 2 года назад

I share the same sentiment Never focused on my finances like this always said I'd start next month and never did.

@stephaniemattiuzzo9508 3 года назад

The breakdown is so helpful! I am so grateful for all that you (and Ryen And your team) are doing! I’ve always wanted to get more specific with an ACTUAL budget and this is the first time in my life it makes sense and is realistic (2nd month in with the BBP download). Thanks again - you truly have a teacher’s heart !!

@esseyaich 3 года назад

This video is the “missing manual” I’ve been looking for!! I needed help with all of this. Thanks so much!

@teresacarrington244 4 года назад

Yes! It’s work that’s so worth it. I personally get a lot of joy and feelings of accomplishment with this system. I am learning and still not all that successful every month. My goal for the month of July is consistency! 🙏🏾

@kellypost1353 3 года назад

This was a fabulous breakdown!! Will definitely need to re-watch again and will get easier the more I do, but LOVED THIS!!!

@navamorris3478 3 года назад

This video helped me understand exactly what to write on the trackers that come before January (bill tracker, yearly spending overview). Initially I had written out each bill and sinking fund on a separate line on each of the trackers. What a repetitious overload! I've now reworked my categories and what I list on each tracker. THANK YOU!!!

@crazychick 4 года назад

I needed this thank you. I was getting all turned around. I'm going to sit down with the video tonight and close out my June budget thank you very much

@jessicalogan1119 4 года назад

@abigaylemabey4813 2 года назад

Could you do an update on this with your monthly booklets? This is very helpful but just a little bit different and I think an updated step-by-step would be incredibly helpful! Love your videos!! Excited to see what I can accomplish financially using this system!

@phyllisandrews3277 3 года назад

@marissaann1233 4 года назад

I love that you made this video! It's nice to see the process of closing out your budget, rather than explaining it after you already did it. :) One thing I do differently is the Monthly Debt & Savings income...on that page, I put my actual income instead of my income + starting balance. It just makes more sense to me to do it that way.

@StargazerBudgets 2 года назад

I miss these types of videos from you!

@chautney6811 4 года назад

Awesome video! 🤦🏾‍♀️ now I can start using those pages!

@vitzaniadominguez6961 Год назад

Your thorough videos have taught me how to use the budget planner in increments, so I don't get overloaded by the new info. Where I'm at, it feels a lot to track every expense on the envelopes and then write similar info in the expense tracker. But, after watching how you close off the month for your costs, it makes sense to do so for mine. I, too, would like to know visually that my money is moving along the way I have planned. Thank you, Miko, for the encouragement and the help!

@ginajohnson1654 4 года назад

@mylifeinmoderation7182 4 года назад

I just started using your "where did my money go" worksheets and they have been incredibly helpful. Things I thought I was spending a lot on, I am not and it is helping me shift my focus on the categories that need more attention.

@ayannafraleymoore5265 4 года назад

my life in moderation YES, those worksheets are a budgeting game-changer!

@katecarpenter7666 3 года назад

This was so helpful to watch as someone trying to wrap my head around this method. I have started the track your expenses part of your course and preliminary budget but I was so overwhelmed. This really helped break things down for me. I will definitely be watching this over and over again!

@doogieRN1 3 года назад

Thank you Miko, I have to stop getting side tracked close to the end of my tracking period, that's when I see errors the most, my budget not coming out to zero, and trying to adjust from budgeting from the 1st of the month to the 30th or 31st, but now exactly as I get paid from the 10th of one month go the 10th of the next, it just seems so long and then I get🤪 mixed up!! Haven't got the knack of it just get, but it is a progressive learning process I know!!🤦🏿‍♀️🙆🏿‍♀️

@stephaniebenally8993 4 года назад

Miko after you calculate percentage, multiply by 100 to get percentage. This helps avoid guessing or mistakes.

@jmariee003 3 года назад

@loe3175 4 года назад

Would you consider doing some videos about starting a small business? You have made your own so successful! (Not asking for your trade secrets! Just some things you might've learned along the way!)

@franchescachuchro7114 2 года назад

I REALLY hope you consider doing another video about this. I just can't seem to understand how to do this. I am a cashless spender and use credit cards. I may be complicating it more but I do pay my credit cards with no interest every month. PLEASE consider doing this again!!!

@CozyJJ0213 3 года назад

I just went over my spending and realized last month I spent $1000 in groceries! that is insane! I kept saying how broke I was but duh! my money was going to food! and $400 on eating out! I feel so dumb! hopefully October will be better now that im tracking it!

@MsSusieStone 3 года назад

Are you doing better with tracking your expenses? I would be so nice to hear that it helps you 😊

@Pandorash8 3 года назад

Handwriting this certainly makes it more concrete. I love my excel spreadsheets, but I’m considering switching to paper...

@Elizabeth-uj8vn 2 года назад

I did the paper then switched to spreadsheet and now I’m switching back to paper bc I can see it better on paper than my small screen. I keep missing bills thinking I wrote it down.

@cookie31344 3 года назад

So glad to see this! Just starting here and these worksheets were a bit intimidating! Can you also show how you do your expense tracker worksheet? I noticed u have Walmart for example, do u save receipts and highlight and separate Walmart beauty, Walmart pets? Do u do it as u spend it (daily) or do it at the end of the month? And how do u tie the expense tracker back to your budget by paycheck bill tracker and envelope pages?

@monicatorrez7568 4 года назад

I was not able to close out my June budget due to the passing of our middle son - I had lost the desire to be on budget and just didn’t have the desire to care about much but then came July and I started back on track and found that even though I didn’t do well last month I was still able to put a few dollars aside to savings to make up what I had to use for last month situation. It was then when I realized even when I am in a bad time in life I was able to financial see it through thanks to TBM. I am praying that I can get back on track completely soon

Now I kinda understand….. until I dive in, I’ll have to keep watching your videos! Awesome concept and vital how n where the money is going from your household!!! Very happy I found your channel!!!

@thedaysthatcount 4 года назад

Thank you for going through your closeout process with us. It makes it much easier to understand. Could you talk more about the budget planning process each month and how you handle rolling over cash in your envelopes? You mentioned in this video, as you were working on comparing budgeted numbers to actual dollars spent, that you budget $x toward Pet, but that you were over because you had rolled over cash from the previous month. Do you not take into account those funds that you've rolled over? How do you notate it on your budget? Thank you so much for all of your videos. This method has changed our lives!

@GUACHARN 4 года назад

That is my exact question above!! Ive been at this for almost a yr now, and was not including the cash I have left from 1 month and rollover into next on paycheck bill tracker page

@amandavelong83 4 года назад

I have the same questions you do!

@SuperVeeveez 3 года назад

I just started really watching and paying attention to your videos recently. So, I am curious, you don’t have a rent or mortgage payment? I see you crossed out debt, that’s awesome!

@julesgabrie87 4 года назад

Would love if you could do a video showing with paydates that don’t end in a month so like the 10th & 24th & how the bills from the 1st to 10th would be tracked

@racheldodds2694 4 года назад

I see you added both categories in checking and cash tracker together. What about if I take $100 cash out for household for the month but then I use my debit for an online household item. Would I count that under the checking or cash tracker since I’m going to have to add it back into the bank? Loved the video!

@bruce5895 3 года назад

Tip # 4 for saving your money, before buying anything in a store don't be afraid to ask the store employee for a discount, if they say that they are not authorized then ask to speak to someone who is like a supervior or manager, if you don't ask you don't get.

@candy2325 3 года назад

Bruce Boyles unless they are having a promotion/sale or the product is defective why would anyone get a random discount for an item?

@bruce5895 3 года назад

@@candy2325 Good question, I will try and give you an answer, sales are down in the store and they want them up, end of season and time to move them out, your offering to buy more than one of the same product, we are in a depression and money is tight and stores are closing, they have an overstock of the item and need to clear some out, your a good customer and they appreciate your business, its a returned item, your paying cash and not charging it, comparing prices but no price match, you ask for lower price, personally I have got discounts from thirft stores, hardware stores, clothing stores, service people, appliance stores, car dealerships, motels, picture framing places, auction houses, garage sales, insurance companies, auto repair shops, alarm services and sometimes I get the stuff for free and all you have to do is ask for a discount. Everybody is after the buck and thats the way its been for years and years and its not going to change as things get worse. You see as the consumer you have got to know that you have the upper hand, and as we go through this depression people are going to be desparate to sell their stuff because they need your cash and they have a good reason to give you that discount that you are asking for, sometimes I set the price that I am willing to pay especially if its a big ticket item, that works too. Always pay by cash and you will get the best deal. You just have to have faith and try it.

@karenharris7874 3 года назад

@adagioborntrager4456 3 года назад

mary C not very efficient? 😂 This women has literally made a career off of her “not efficient” budget. It makes sense to HER and to the hundred of people who watch and follow her videos. If YOU don’t like it or understand it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. Everybody does things differently.
