This is almost exactly how I budget! Except I use the app Mint to categorize my transactions to let me know how much I've spent on what and what I have remaining per category. I find I check this way too often (bit neurotically) to make sure I don't overspend in categories. Although just like you I have a buffer in my chequing account in case I do. I also try to forecast all my known irregular expenses in a year (things like new tires, yoga punch passes, oil changes) and divide the sum of those by 12 and set that amount into a separate account per month that I draw on when those expenses occur. I could use my chequing account buffer for these but for some reason my brain prefers the money is in a separate account.

Great video, you two! Trying to catch up on your videos again, as I've been a bit MIA. Was working two jobs up until recently but I plan on working a second job again. Anyhow, the transparency is always so great. It's cool to see we have a similar budget, but I think my overall expenses are much lower since my cost of rent isn't as high, especially when splitting it with family members. I save a bit over 1k a month which is nice. I recently bought a few shares for some banks and insurance companies, I think my goal is start using a portion of my savings to constantly invest in the stocks i've picked out. Hope it works. I was going to invest in VOO, then realized it's an American index fund and I don't want complications with tax + fees, exchange rates, and other nonsense that comes with investing in US stocks. Gonna try and use your spreadsheet once in for all! It's time I see where I can cut back on things, but I think I'm mostly good with my money. :)

Love these videos! And thank you for the transparency and honesty Steph! In regards to groceries, me and partner have cut our cost substantially lower to around 300-350 per person by doing a grocery run twice a month and then in in between we do stock up on essentials (produce and diary) from a local family owned shop that has very decent prices in downtown Toronto! It really helped us and its actually fun as well. If you have something similar around your neighborhood that might help as well

I’m kinda embarrassed to say that but I haven’t ever use a credit card and I was wondering why would I need to? I’ve always found it safer to use my debit card with money already in it so is there a huge advantage to make me use credit card instead while risking going way over what I can pay back?!
@stephandden
@stephandden 2 года назад
Not embarrassing at all - everyone uses one for the first time at some point! The biggest advantage to having a credit card is to build a strong credit score - it can help you with buying a house, and other times where a credit check may be run. You can also get cash back and/or travel rewards depending on the card. The best way to use a credit card is by making sure you're paying off your balance on time (there's a payment due date every month) and in full (not just the minimum balance, pay the entire amount you spent) every time. We hope that helps. 😊

Im sorry but not one person that ever watched or watch this video should listen to you. YOUR RENT IS 45% OF YOUR BUDGET. YOU SHOULD NOT BE INVESTING ANYTHING AND SAVING TO PUT MONEY DOWN ON A PROPERTY AND GET A MORTAGAGE(so you own something). Which then would most likely be less than 30% of your budget (slap forehead emoji)
@stephandden
@stephandden Год назад
Hey! You should go back and watch my previous budget videos for more context 😊 we are self employed, and we only pay ourselves out enough money to cover our expenses (so technically 100% of my ‘budget’ is for expenses, in general). On top of investing $1,000 per month last year, we were able to pay ourselves additional money at the end of the year that went straight to our investments, as well. You can check out the video we posted at the beginning of January for an update on that!
