I determined that I can’t call them “sinking” funds. It makes me think of the Titanic. 🚢 I decided to call them floating funds because the money will float between my checking and savings accounts. I use my floating funds for insurances, taxes, any other non-monthly routine expenses. A rose by any other name? 🌹

You’re the only one I’ve heard talk about not perfect sinking funds, and it feels way more doable to me! It doesn’t need to be fully funded to be a win. I can start with just one or two envelopes and then work up. So helpful!

I am playing catch up and listening to the replays, but I am loving them! The mix up of the lives and the regular videos is nice. Thank you for all of this! 🥰

@parahgaphanyahu3625 9 месяцев назад

Listen!!! Thank you for this. I listen to a few budgeters and you are the only one I've heard say to have a WORKING BUDGET before starting sinking funds. That's very important. 🎉

I use a PayPal HYSA for sinking funds. You can create different goals in the savings account.

@tonimt1712 9 месяцев назад

Shoukd you still do sinking funds if you have debt? Or would you split the 500 and do 250 for debt and 250 for sinking funds?

@TheOrganizedMoney 9 месяцев назад

Yes. I still believe you should. You can split it but having money set aside for additional things is super helpful so you won’t use a credit card

@ts1358 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for putting this together. The screen slides really helped but what is the difference between a sinking fund and a savings goal or are they just used interchangeably?

@samantharindfield3107 9 месяцев назад

Would you be able to do a video to help people who need help getting their finances under control? I am the only income for a family of 4 with a 3yo and 2yo. I am only paid once per month and currently don’t have enough to pay all of the bills let alone the needed extras such as food and fuel.😢

First you should go to Local food banks for food.

I've seen videos where Dave Ramsey recommends making sure you cover the four walls: food, housing, utilities and transportation. After that I suggest you figure out the bare minimum you can afford to pay the other bills and send letters to each company by certified mail return receipt informing them of your situation and what you can pay. Then stick to that agreement so they have no legal reason to put you in collections. The letters would show your good faith intent to pay.
