Hi Tracey!! Im glad u have a Bonus Video!! Thanks!! GOD BLESS!! 😊❤
Tracey❤ thanks for sharing and for this bonus video 😊 . I’m more comfortable now doing my own on a notebook to fit my motivation and consistency. Excited to see that book help you save throughout the year to come ❤❤❤
Absolutely! We all have to use what system works best for us! I love that you found your version to stay motivated and consistent! Love it friend!
Good Morning! Yes, The Budget Mom, watching her videos is how I understood the best way for me when starting out as well 😊 Great review!
That's a good review, love how you explain how to fill it up, you're a pro! 👍
So fun! The purple is a really fun color but I agree with having a uniform color scheme throughout! There is a lot of great stuff in there!
Good morning Tracey! Yay bonus video!!! I saw the unboxing of Rene too. I love the format of this budget planner, wanting to get one too 😊
Yes! Rene got hers before me which was funny since I ordered before her! 😂
Hi Tracey! Thanks for showing it. Hard to tell from the website. I am so tempted as I feel it would focus me a bit. I do love adding pages but maybe I don't need to... hmmm we will see💕🐻
You are so welcome! It is a bummer to not be able to add pages! I will still get my happy planner satisfaction with my savings challenges 😃 😂
Well Hey there Bonus Video, Tracey 🤩
Ummmm I’m already looking forward to seeing your 2024 setup 😳🤪💙
😂 I need to get everything organized! I have some things in the works! 😂
I love planners so I love this time of year. I've never gotten hers before though.
Tracey "it's a big one".
Me "that's what she said"
Also me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ooh planner review videos are the best!!! 🤪 I love your jokes with yourself 😂
Love your detail with your review. You do a great job digging into the nitty gritty.
I think I'd like to use something similar for expense tracking and monthly bills. I've gotten away from the monthly calendar I used to utilize.
You are so sweet! Yes! I want to get back to closer tracking my spending and bills. It is so easy to slowly loosen up. Thanks friend!
Nice planner. I think it would be perfect for someone that has a lot of things to track but, it would make me feel overwhelmed. The layout is really nice & well thought out and I like the highlighters a lot.
I totally get that!!! There are more things in there than I need but the core is what got me into budgeting and it feels like home 😂 You definitely need to do whatever feels right to you!
Good morning Tracey. That looks like a really nice Payday Planner.
It really is! It is big but was the first one that clicked for me.
There is so much detail in this budget planner! I think it would overwhelm me lol. But I do appreciate you breaking it down and making it easy to understand.
You are so welcome! It can be overwhelming at first. There are pages I just won’t use and that is ok 😂 Thanks friend!
I didn’t know the budget mom had a physical book out!!! 😱😱
I use to do all of her yearly money challenges! They were so much fun!
A Tracey video on a Tuesday. You had me thinking my days were wrong for a minute 😂
I was so sad she didn't have one last year. I ordered the same cover as you, I am dying for mine to show up. I love her stuff, it is all so nice! As for the bajillion highlighters...a bajillion more never hurt anyone:)
Thank you Tracy I bought the printable last year was so lost on what to do with everything you explained it perfectly 😊❤
If you need a reference point later on the digital version should have the instructions too but honestly I agree with Tracey the tbm videos are so nice! Esp when it comes to closing out the month.
I really wanted a planner from Budget mom but that was when she took the time off so none was available. I went ahead and ordered a customized budget planner from Plum Paper, nice you can pick the cover, have something printed on it,, pick the layout , etc.. I love it.
I love that cover…so pretty! I’d love to see you do videos with this, even if you don’t want to share everything!
I LOVE that it has a net worth tracker. You don’t see that in a lot of budget books.
You did such a thorough review. I feel like she should sponsor you 😉
I watched a long Kardashian ad for you…that’s how much I love you! 😅
I would have to think about it 😉 Yes! I love the net worth tracker! I also love that you are a digital planner and still watched the entire thing plus Kardashian ads! You are the best!!!! Love ya friend!
I ordered the same thing! But haven’t received it yet but can’t wait!!😊
I am anxiously awaiting my delivery. I ordered back on newsletter opening day lol. I got the floral one its so pretty. I wanted her highlighters so badly, but i have so many zebra & sharpie highlighters i talked to myself out of it.
Yes!!! I ordered newsletter opening day too and it took a bit for it to ship with all the orders. You had some great self control! I definitely impulse bought the highlighters! 😂
The Budget Mom was the first budget pages I used when I started in 2019! I love her stuff!!
Love the planner ❤ I had the same thought that the colours don’t really match
One thing I found with buying a coil book was I hated writing next to the coil. This is why I love my HP!! LOL...pull those pages on out to write on.
Yes!!! The disc bound is amazing for that! I will be curious how I feel about the coil!
I just received my floral workbook a few days ago. I didn’t even get a box! I was confused. 😢But the workbook is really nice. Love the paper & it’s smell. Will just use my printable January. Hopefully I will stick with it as I tend to fall off of budgeting so extensively. Great video! ❤
I have heard that from a few people that they got their order in just a brown generic box! That is such a bummer! The nice part about it being undated is that you can jump back in if you fall off! I have done the same! You got this! 💜
I always fall off….except for my sinking funds. So if you do nothing else…stick with that part.
I fell off the budget wagon a few years ago and used frivolous spending as a crutch for depression and anxiety. I JUST started a budget again! I’m going to under budget in Nov. and Dec. to spoil myself and get this for myself. I bought a cheap $7 one on Amazon last week and the coil is weird, the pages don’t turn smoothly and it’s going to drive me nuts lol I’m on a massive debt journey and I love how detailed this workbook is. So I’ll use the cheapie until December and then spoil myself with one of these. I get paid bi-weekly but that’s ok. I’d just use each check page per month as like a weekly check-in, if that makes sense.
I love that you are focusing on getting back on track! Depression and anxiety really mess with our spending 💜 I truly love this book as it is what made things click for me! 🥰
Very nice review! It’s seems like the color scheme stays the same year after year on these. Hopefully she will consider changing it or just going completely neutral.
I understand she wants to keep it aligned with her brand but visually I would love if it matched the cover theme 💜
That planner is huge!! It looks real extensive though, very cool!
It's worth every single penny!!! I've used it for 5 years in a row. It's been sooooo helpful.
Bahahah oh my goodness my brain today is not playing fair. I read expensive, many times nonetheless, I've been reading words & dates wrong all day. Thank goodness I'm almost done for the day.
Oh it is a beast for sure!!! It means business! Budgeting business 😂
@GoldenGirlBudgets Tracey idk what is happening. I've sounded like a total tool at work all day. Lol
I have an FSA account through my work and I use the medical bill tracker to track my flex spend card usage and balance left for the year.
I used one last year, but this year, I made my own to fit my needs. I loved tbm planner. I just didn't use everything
I’m going to get the new pdf printable of the budget by paycheck workbook for 2024
It looked like orange was spelled wrong on the highlighter set...unless it was supposed to be spelled organge
Mine didnt come in the magical blue box , I really dont care , it came within 4 days or ordering which made me happy considering I was hearing nothing but negative on the shipping.
Wow! You got yours fast! Mine took a bit to ship and I heard others didn’t get the blue box either.
I just bought a couple of those savings challenges from Rene....one for me and one for my 3k giveaway
for those who have used both the printable and the physical work book, which would you recommend for someone using the Budget by Paycheck method for the first time?
I started out with the printables because I loved the flexibility to print out new sheets as I was figuring things out. It is overall cheaper to get the printable version but once you factor in the printing costs the physical work book is a better deal. I looked into printing the book from the digital file and to print and bind it ranged from $30 through a homeschool printing company to $70+. If you are just printing out a month at a time with your own printer you just have to factor in ink and paper. She didn’t offer a book last year so having the printable came in handy. Perks to both options honestly. I have been happy to have the book and will likely get the book going forward.
I think I would be too overwhelmed as someone who is just starting out with budgeting.
Oh you definitely need to do what works best for you when starting out!
The cover comes off so easily. It’s irritating and they need to work on the design of that next year.
I used the budget mom budget book for years. I loved it. I switched to the smaller boxed set ones so I could toss it in my purse.
Ooh I was always tempted with the box set!
