Did you ever feel like this when you're trying to stick to your budget
And get this I know I am
If because I'm that good let me just what stuck to my chest
But now my head that doesn't matter come on man. Let's see if we can stick to our budgets
Whoo we did it
We stuck to our budget. Yes, calm down folks okay, because we're not here to talk about whether I'm an idiot
We're sticking post-it notes to my freaking head
We're here to go over a guaranteed way to set a budget and stick to it until it gets easy peasy japanesey
Because it eventually will I promise and yes?
I like to ride
I've already made a whole bunch of videos on how to set a budget
So I'll throw those videos down in the description for you to check out after you watch this video
Don't forget, but you've got to watch this video all the way through before you go do that. I know I know
budgets can be super lost waiting
So let me show you the things that you can do to guarantee that you'll never veer off your budget ever
Again now these are proven methods that I use every single month to make sure
That that teenage girl that little teenage girl in me doesn't come out and I go spend
$300 on beef jerky in a single month, and that's actually really easy to do because beef jerky is extremely expensive
Don't judge. Me folks. Okay. Thank you
Let's just get into him right
Meow the first thing you have to do to guarantee that you will stick to the budget for the month is
Everyone has to be aligned with that budget
So everyone involved with spending for that month has to be on board with a budget for that month
Whoa because if you're trying to stick to a budget
But you've got that one freaking your family that you've got
Poking holes in all the freaking buckets then you're gonna fail every single time
It's kind of like back in school when you had those group projects. I swear
I always got stuck with this one guy named Ronnie who never did any work, and he was kind of stinky, too
So that was awful on top of it
And it caused everyone in the group to have to do more work to pick up the slack for him not doing anything, okay
And sometimes it even caused our grade our overall grade to suffer because Ronnie was there
Poking holes in our fuck it and we were like Ronnie. What are you doing?
So please make sure that the Ronnie in your life knows what to do and don't let Ronnie
Slack off now if you're single like me then the only person you have to get on board with your budget is
Your dog okay, and if you don't have a dog if you have a cat
Then I'm really sorry to hear that I feel really bad for you
I cannot help you cat people sorry not sorry
Huh the next thing that you can do to guarantee that you stick to a budget is to review your budget once a week
Before that week even starts now
There's two things that give me anxiety on first dates the first one is being late
And the second one is
Fitting the actual date into my really busy schedule so because of that I have to have everything planned out or else
I'm gonna be able to focus on the deal-breaker questions that I need to ask this person while I'm with them yes
I have a list of first date questions, okay, and full disclosure
I'm a first date expert, so I know what I'm doing so how do I deal with this?
I like to plan everything out to a tee I like to do my weekly budget planning on Sunday nights
I do all of my weekly budget planning and my general schedule planning as well Sunday nights at the exact same time
So I never miss a beat, and if you do this every Sunday
Then there's no way not to know how much you have to spend for that upcoming week if you do this every single Sunday then
There's no way that you shouldn't know how much you have left to spend and your budget for that week
And it's also a nice way to get like a hard reset for yourself and get your life back in order
After you just had a crazy wild weekend doing whatever you do writing unicorns in the woods
Or I don't know what you do what the next guaranteed way to stick to a budget is by spending money?
Based on your budget if you truly care about sticking to your budget
Then you've got to spend your money based on your budget and not based on how much money is in the actual bank account do
You remember the last solar eclipse that happened
They said not to stare at it because you can destroy your I say right I may or may not have looked at it
Okay, all I know is that I see a lot of black spots nowadays
But whatever if you focus on spending money based on your budget and not the amount in your bank account then you cannot fail
Period think about that for a minute
If there's three three weeks.3 if there's three weeks left if there's three weeks left in the month, and you have
$300 left in your in the food portion of your budget
Then you only have $100 per week to spend based on that $300 total that you have left for the month
spend based on how much you have left divided by the
time left in the month
I'm literally telling you not to look your bank account if you have to treat it like it's a solar eclipse and don't look at
It like I did okay because if you know the date that you get paid
Then you should know exactly how much is in your bank account at any moment in time
Especially if you know how much you've been spending as well
So set all of your bills to Auto
Payment so that you can't even make that as an excuse to oh I gotta go look at my bank account spend in my bank
Account don't do that spend based on your budget. Okay, let's be honest friends
You could turn a trip to Disney World into a burden if you really wanted to
Hey mickey. Oh, this this ride is so boring. Oh this sucks
Yeah, only if you want to make it that way
So don't turn your budget into a burden have fun with it have a plan for it
Let it be successful for you tightening your budget is only temporary
While you were getting out of debt, and once your debts are completely paid off
That's when the real fun
Starts because you can loosen up a little bit when it comes to spending like I can now let me know in the comments down
Below where you get stuck when it comes to budgeting your money
And make sure you pick up your FREE copy of the debt free prep workbook while it's still available
I'll put a link somewhere around my ugly head or down in the description. I shall talk to you later folks
