I think that is SO smart that you have separate categories for your trip spending. I love that you even have envelopes for clothes and pet boarding! Different sub-categories for vacations is definitely something I will apply for my next trip!
Hi Nat!! Thank you so much for being here!!! I am so grateful that I found this community… the savings ideas have been so beneficial!!! I love this method of saving for vacation but it’s definitely going to be the way we do things from here on out!!!
Love that you started this binder right after finishing your last vacation... so smart Melissa. Love the coloring... 😊 Yay for sales on the kids' clothes too for Disney - SO fun. You are SO ready for this trip - excellent!! Yes girl... keep doing what you do! Great job. Thanks for the fun video and have a great Friday Melissa!! 💐💐
Hi Elle!!! I’m so sorry it has taken me this long to respond to your comment!!! my weekend filled up more than I could handle!!! I have really enjoyed saving for our trip this way! I know that all future trips will be done the same way!!! This has been a game changer!! it’s more manageable and enjoyable!! I do appreciate your attention to detail!!! You are so very kind. It warms my heart every time I see a comment from you.!!! Thank you Elle🥰🥰🥰
Good Morning! this is working. I love how you are saving for your trip. Thanks for doing the coloring on camera with us. I have a challenging time coloring and speaking at the same time, it would take me so long lol. Have a wonderful day.
You can say that again… this is actually working!!! I really wish everyone we give cash stuffing a try. Or at least intentional tracking. I will definitely plan all of our future trips this way.!!! Even if I fall short this way of saving his definitely put a dent into what we need!! Thank you for being here!!!
I absolutely love the way you are saving for your trip with all of the different categories. You are going to be set! I need to do this once we figure out where we’ll be going for our next vacation.
Hi Katie!!! I will definitely save for our vacations this way from here on out!!! We are spending a lot, but this helps disguise 🥸 it😂😂😂 honestly, it feels more manageable to break it into sections!
It’s funny how I’d be lying right to the clearance before I go to any other section in the stores😂😂😂 shopping off-season is definitely a money saver!!! I appreciate you being here, Jessie🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Rachael for being here and supporting!!! We are definitely getting excited about Disney. I really wish I would’ve found this community earlier. The saving ideas have been so beneficial.
So crazy how fast time has flown! Your trip is just around the corner!!!! I love watching you color! Food is always a bigger budget than we expect most of the time too. I just love watching you stuff this binder! Makes me want to go with you! 😂 love ya friend!
I just told Dawn in the comments today that you have been want to go on this trip from the beginning😂😂😂 she mentioned that the only thing that was missing from my trip was her ticket😂😂😂 you know you and I are bound to meet soon🎉🎉🎉 Love you too friend.
You are so close to finishing and funding your whole Disney trip!!! This is so exciting! I can’t wait to see you go and hear about how the budget went!
Thank you so much, Frances!!! I definitely feel more prepared for this trip than I have ever felt for any trip we’ve taken!!! I will use this way of planning our trips from here on out.!!! I do sincerely appreciate you being here and supporting me🥰🥰🥰
The excitement is definitely growing in our household!!! These trackers haven’t really made saving for vacation manageable!!! This will be my new way of saving😂😂 I sincerely appreciate you being here!!!!
Thank you, Imani… I started searching for the tickets and got a little scared😂😂😂 I know these trackers will help put a dent into whatever we have to spend!!! I appreciate your friend🥰🥰🥰
Yes it does! I definitely will be saving for all my vacations this way from here on out!!! it’s almost been a year and I love to see the progress!!! I appreciate you being here!!!!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕that you got started IMMEDIATELY after the 1st trip. I like this way better tooo. I like this way better but it's just something about having a lot of binders and different categories that I can't get with for some reason. i love watching others though.
Hey Desiree!!! I completely understand!!! I do love the system now!!! Mentally it just feels like I’m saving smaller amounts and I can ignore the huge number that we are spending overall😂😂😂 I will definitely save for all my vacations like this here on out though!! I appreciate you being here!!!
Good morning my friend!!💚 I never been to Disney but, I know it's going to be fun! You're so dedicated and consistent with your savings. You inspire me to work hard. I love your channel 💚💚

Hello Melissa, great video and savings. I love saving like this for my holiday/vacation like this doing this year myself. The stress levels are gone 😄😁
Wowzer… you are so many of my videos today😳🥹😍🥰 what did I do to deserve this? Thank you so much!!! I feel a little bit speechless… but yes, finding those trackers to cover things outside adjust the trip has been so helpful!!! I just called the kennel today to get the rates for boarding… it went up of course, but I’m only going to be $59 short!!! I feel grateful that I can come up with $60!!!
Thank you so much Imani! I’m starting your now!!! I had training today, which was a few hours away. As soon as I got home, I had to switch cars and pick up my kiddos from summer camp…and take them straight to their swim lessons. It’s been a day!!! I’m so grateful to laid down 💆🏽♀️
Happy Friday Melissa, the only problem I saw with your Disney vacation binder is I didn't see an envelope for me🤣🤣🤣 I'm sure that was a oversight. Yes, it is great to know that your vacation is paid for before you leave. I'm team coloring. You all will have an amazing time!😊
You are so funny, Dawn! Tracey from Golden Girl Budgets is axing for an envelope to be included too😂😂😂 honestly, I wish the budget and community could have some kind a conference that we all meet up!!! I know it would be a blast! But we all gotta pay this debt off!!! I appreciate you being here🥰🥰🥰
@@BudgetStuffSaveRepeat Melissa, that is an awesome idea. I think it would be great to have local meet ups. I'm guessing there are a few people where you are that you can meet up with and I'm sure there are one or two people here where I live. Hummmm... I will have to toy with the idea.🤔
So happy to see ur almost done saving for Disneyland... and definitely better this way than put our trips on credit card and having to worry about saving to pay it off.. Yes to getting deals on Kohls for Disney clothes...I love shopping for deals and getting discounts... everything at Disney is double or triple price than what we find anywhere else... Ur husband doesn't carry cash so I guess he prefers credit card...n my husband the opposite he doesn't like credit cards he keeps them home and always carries n pays w cash
Yes, I will definitely save for all our vacations this way from here on out!!! My husband works for a credit card company, so it love the “benefits” of them. Honestly, we spend more when we use them. I have him track the expenses so he can see firsthand if we went over budget😂😂 I appreciate you being here!!! Thank you!!!
This video was great ! we’re planning to go to Hawaii for 10th anniversary next year so I’m gonna buy a binder to start saving for our vacation. Our anniversary is in June I like how you doing it with the money savings challenge too. I’m gonna do the same thank you.
Thank you so much Deborah!!! These trackers were so helpful!!! it may planning for vacation very manageable!!! it is definitely the new way that I will say for all of our vacations from here on out!!! Definitely find you a set!!!! I sincerely appreciate you being here!!!
Hey Melissa!! How long are you all spending at Disney/Florida? My friend Britt has also been saving for her family trip to Disney, this year. Very exciting! I agree that saving little by little each month way ahead of time works so much better.
Hi Nija. We’re staying for 6 days. We are getting very excited. I think everyone in my house needs this break from work and school. I seriously wish I had found this community earlier in life. The saving ideas have been life changing. This is my new method for saving for vacation from here until I found something different that’s more effective. I appreciate you being here. Thank you.
