Here is a look at my current variable budget categories!
In this video, I give you an inside look of my wallet, my cash envelopes, my budget categories, and information about the cash envelope method.
I started using the cash envelope method in 2019. It has brought so much clarity around my finances and it forces me to ask the hard question - "If I spend this money now, what am I giving up in the future?"
If you're on a budgeting journey, I highly encourage you to implement the cash envelope method into your life. Begin with using a cash envelope for one or two areas in your budget that you tend to overspend in. Placing a hard limit on these categories will allow you to get that category under control as well as bring more financial awareness into your life.

This system works so well because of how transparent you are with your own money! Money is such a hush hush topic for so many people that it is AWESOME to actually see someone show their real budget and the actual money they are working with, not just vague fictional numbers. Thank you!

@arthrodea 3 года назад

This might sound strange, but its helpful to see a non-rice-and-beans example of spending categories. I am out of debt, but I'm having a hard time with tremendous guilt and anxiety to spend money on things like fun or getting my nails done or beauty.

@nats6190 3 года назад

I used to feel really guilty spending any fun money. I switched my budgeting technique so that I put a guaranteed % of each paycheck toward savings and retirement *first*, before devoting the remainder to my spending categories. By knowing I'd already met my savings goals for the month, I felt more at ease to spend for fun purposes. Maybe you could try this?

@TH0KH 3 года назад

If you're in a good place, there is no reason you can't work a fun allowance into the budget!

@matemahe 2 года назад

Beauty/hygiene category seems reasonable for me bc I need shampoo, lotion, body wash extra $ is for nails or lashes if I was into that

@jclyntoledo 3 месяца назад

That sounds like a shame issue and exactly why I don't follow the majority of the popular budget advice because all it does is shame you into spending money that isn't on things you can't absolutely live without. When there should have always been a fun budget even if the fun budget was a one time a month expense that wasn't greater than $20.

@moonrain85 Год назад

@granolagirlGfunk Год назад

I have seen other videos where it depends on your goals. Some people have a goal to create a good savings account while others are using that extra money to pay off a debt.

@CGWolfGirl 8 месяцев назад

You could try putting in your savings,paying something off, or using for extra cash for the next month so basically what I’m trying to say here is that you can you try all of these and see which one works for you and basically experiment with it.Everyone is different with it hope this helps and good luck 😊

@kertmelinda Год назад

I think it's a great idea if you get payed on a weekly/biweekly basis to put the money you get in between the beginnings of months in an envelope, and use the previous month's salary for the next month, just like if you were payed once a month. It ensures that even if you get sick for a few days and don't get payed for a week, or one week you only work 1-2 days and you get your salary only the next week, you still don't have to worry about having to get groceries or paying your bills that week.

Thank you. I'm just beginning this journey. Our fixed expenses (mortgage, house insurance, rates, car insurance, family savings, school tuition fees & 2 credit cards) are all online paid through my husband's pay check as he gets paid way more than me. My pay check is more for my use only really. He says it's mine to away with. So, I'm just using paper envelopes with mine. My categories are the following: personal savings (I've placed a $1k goal target then I'll move it into our joint savings account as a surprise to my husband), home building maintenance ($1k goal), birthday fund for each of us (me, my husband, 2 daughters, son in law, again with goal targets of $300 each), emergency fund (no goal target there, I'll just keep adding $50 each pay period) and our cat's needs envelope. That's it for now. I don't want to be overwhelmed as I'm only beginning.

Thank you for the breakdown. I find when I plan out my meals I don’t need to eat out. I really do need to do cash envelopes for food and eating out. It is so easy to overspend. I write out budgets every month but I never go to zero because I know we will need that extra. I have no emergency and I have things I need for the house but never get there. I will have to start small with cash envelopes and open some extra savings for the long hall expenses.

@CoolCraftyCreations 2 года назад

Hey Kumiko, started using the cash envelopes system back when I started the Dave Ramsey University program over 6 years ago, probably around the same time you did, lol. I just pre-ordered your book, and next year I’ll be using your workbook that I just ordered yesterday! I’ve tried other budget workbooks and I ended up having to make major adjustments. Looking forward to working with your system.

In the last 15 months most of my envelopes went to cashless due to the pandemic. Since things are now opening up and I will be fully vaccinated I will start them again however not as many as I had. I find for crafts, groceries and eating out the envelopes work well as it keeps you on track. The others I will leave cashless as I do not have trouble keeping to my budget on those.

@jenniferwang3489 2 года назад

I'm going to try hard this coming year to do envelopes. Even if I do cashless, I can do it. My categories will be household, auto (gas) , kids, and misc. Kids will include diapers, but we're really close to being ready for potty training. If I can get my oldest to go for it, the younger one will do it, so that money can still be stacking up and the kids can do whatever with it. We are very well stocked with toiletries and household stuff, so this will just roll until we need it. Gas, of course, will go in the gas tank. And miscellaneous is... well I'm nto sure exactly but I'm treating it like an "other" account.

Thank you so much for this video! I adopted the cashless envelopes mostly because we have online purchases that we count in our budget, like pet food or online courses. But it's true that having cash instead of just numbers on a paper would be very efficient for limiting overspending. I try to be thorough though ^^ Also, love your tattoos, they are gorgeous! Do you budget these, like in a sinking fund? Take care!

@theage27iscursed Год назад

Hello ! I’ve stumbled upon your videos and I would like to try and apply this method in my life, especially since my husband I are starting a family ! Any tips for a beginner ? Or perhaps a step-by-step game plan ? What I don’t understand is that say you haven’t spend all of your beauty allocated money at the end of the month (only 25 out of the 50$ for example), what happens then ? Does it mean that, the following month, you are only refilling the envelope with 25$ to make it an even 50 again or do you put 50 again anyways, meaning that you have an extra 25 if you want to treat yourself some more, or do you take what’s left to allocate it to a sinking fund or anything else ? Thank you !

Do you use a digital envelope system too. Many places are going to debit card or visa only and rural areas no longer have access to ATM or banks. Also I don't like to have cash laying around.

@ItsNomieHomieBologna 3 года назад

Just so I understand, So if you have a cash envelope that is set to hold $80 and you’ve spent 20 of those dollars in between paychecks when you get paid are you putting that $20 in there to keep that cash envelope at 80 or are you putting $80 into that envelope every time you get paid

@vanessabarnes2169 3 года назад

You put the 80 in every time you get paid, if that is what you set up. At the end of the month, if you have an overage, you can reallocate the funds to savings or carry the balance. I personally reallocate funds.
