If I had $5000 extra, I’d either put it into my brokerage/retirement accounts or add it to my emergency fund - I’m trying to get a full year of expenses in there 🤞🏽
Thank you so much for these videos! Cutting on smaller expenses is extremely important. I embraced minimalist and intentional living, my money now serve my goals and purpose especially those ones that invest in my future
Hello I look at your channel all the time starting in Jan I start saving 900 a month I would love to try to save another 700 a month to start that budget for three months thank u so much to show us how to try
Great ideas. When we get paid we have a money transfer automatically to our savings account because I know if it was in the checking account I would probably spend it. We also have a specific amount that we never go under in that account. We have a list of things we want to do or purchase. We research the item and then save for it so we can pay cash like when I needed a new washer and dryer. Sometimes we surprise the grandkids 18 and 21 and transfer some money to their accounts from our savings.
Huh…🤔.. am I the only one that would have to live in a box under a bridge if I took $1600 a month out of my check? As a single person clearly I’m not making enough money.. 😫
Thank you for sharing, Bola, I always love to be educated in finance and how to improve my financial journey and goals to become better at saving, budgeting, and investing. I want to get better so I can teach my kids what it takes to save and how to save effectively.
If I had an extra $5000 I’d put it towards my car note because my emergency savings has 3 months worth of expenses for me and my car debt is all I have left
With an extra $5,000 - I would keep it in savings as I am a contract worker. If there are any gaps in my contracts, I can use that to cover my expenses.
That's a smart financial decision! Having a solid emergency fund in place can provide a valuable safety net in the event of unexpected income gaps or expenses. Keep up the good work and continue to prioritize saving for your future.
I would take $2.5k to pay off some credit cards. Then spend 1k on myself (clothes, things for my house) get $500 in household items for next year (toiletries and other necessities everyday use) then save the rest
I know it was my ancestors and spirit guides that made me stop scrolling and review this video. I grew up in a household that showed me at an early age how to save. My mother is a great teacher on how to save,but I haven't done a great job at saving. I am 52 and looking for ways to save more money. Well, I am starting a job that is paying weekly and more money. Also, I applied for and will get the part-time job that will help me save even more money. Thanks for this video,its very helpful.
Thanks for sharing! You are most welcome. Saving money is definately a skill that you can learn. Start by immersing yourself in all things financial literacy , keeping watching our content and take consistent baby steps. Overtime as long as you are committed you will see progress.
Interesting. You would have sell your gold to access your emergency fund. Emergency Funds are usually liquid, which means they remain as cash asset and are accessible for when you need it.
Hi. I love your TH-cam videos on helping people master there finances. Keep up the good work. I can save 5,000 in three months by working a extra overtime day every week. I can make about 1200-1300 every week with overtime. This wouldn't be hard for me. Just have to sacrifice overtime every week which I been doing.
definitely not responsible of me to say but if I had 5k right now, I would pay my 1k debt first, or at least half of it, and then save some for studying abroad and then distribute what's left for my upcoming bills!
If i had 5k I would definitely purchase my first car with it I really need a car because it’s a inconvenience to have to ride a public bus in order to go to work but i also need a license 😂so I got things to do let me get on my zoom
If I had 5000 right now I’d put 3000 towards home renovations and 1000 in my savings account and 500 in investments and 500 on spending. Idk huuuh. This is why I’m watching this lol
Its great tips to increase cash flow. But I think 1000$ not realistic for most yet alone 5000. It has be more broken down into smaller amount like 1000 in 3 months. And again it's hard when we have er additional expenses that can interfere with putting money away. But it can be achievable with 1k than 2k. Once organized
When I save my extra $5000 this year, it will go towards emergencies! Fun fact, I saved $5000 last year in three months bi weekly. We can now have new exterior doors install on our home😊
My goal has been to save 500.00 a month for the entire year, I did save for this month and I will be honest I spent it on a what I felt was an emergency. I am able to put it back when I get paid but I think I am gonna up it to one month 500.00 one month a 1000.00. I know that I can do this and I believe in my and my husbands goal to be credit card free this year. Thanks for sharing and I am cheering everyone else on too, no matter the amount you can do it!!!
Can you do a episode were you save $5000 in 3 months weekly since I get paid every week thanks bunches it doesn't have to 50000 it can be 1000 every little bit of encouragement helps thanks Ms bola 😊
If l had an extra $5000 l was going to inject all of it in my business and throw my head away. Then after 3 months I'd branch onto another City or Country
If I had an extra $5000 right now, I would move out of my bf's house and end the relationship. Did I mention that I totally regret moving out of my own apartment??
This depends on how much you earn per month, not every one earn that amount of money
If I had 5k right now my husband and I would be travelling to try and maximize our time before I lose the most of my vision. 😊
That would be amazing to do. Hope you can make it happen.
If I had $5000 extra, I’d either put it into my brokerage/retirement accounts or add it to my emergency fund - I’m trying to get a full year of expenses in there 🤞🏽
I would put $1000 towards debt payments, $100 on a solo dinner date, and the remainder in my high yield savings account 😊
Right now, I'm saving for my son's braces that he's getting in 6 months. I'm determined to pay cash and not go into debt for it. It's so expensive!!
Thank you so much for these videos! Cutting on smaller expenses is extremely important. I embraced minimalist and intentional living, my money now serve my goals and purpose especially those ones that invest in my future
I would split it between debt payments, business investment and savings boost.
This is actually my 3 month goal. It will put my last credit card at 25% usage.
This is amazing. Well done. 25% usage is good.
I would save $5000 and make a one time principal payment to my mortgage. ( I’m really trying to pay off my house ASAP)
If I have extra $5k, put into Roth IRA or high APY checking/saving account and keep building emergency account.
Saving $5000.00..IS HARD!!! for most people!!
Hello I look at your channel all the time starting in Jan I start saving 900 a month I would love to try to save another 700 a month to start that budget for three months thank u so much to show us how to try
You can do it! Well done. Keep going.
I would add it to my emergency fund

If I had an extra $5,000 right now, I would pay my tithe, invest, pay myself and start budgeting.
10 percent Tithe , 10 percent save, 80 percent live.
If you buy something give something away.
Can you do that now with the funds you currently have...
Paying your tithes is probably why you don’t have an extra $5,000 right now.
There are different ways to tithe. Support your community, help another family,, its all on your heart and personal relationship w Christ.
@@dijaworldworld3895 Is Christ a White person?
If I had $5,000 cash available I would stash it in my housing savings bucket. I am in NYC it's better to buy than rent.
I would put it toward an emergency fund
Huh…🤔.. am I the only one that would have to live in a box under a bridge if I took $1600 a month out of my check? As a single person clearly I’m not making enough money.. 😫

I would keep $5000 saved in my Ally savings acct which I believe is at 3% yield now.
3.30%!
@@so.many.obstacles you can save in a fixed annuity for 3.84% and can help you with that
$5,000 would go towards the money I’m saving for renovations
If I had an extra $5000 I’d put it towards my car note because my emergency savings has 3 months worth of expenses for me and my car debt is all I have left
Another great goal! Do it.
Good job!
Put in my emergency fund👏👏
I would add it to the money in my savings account. I am saving up for a used (new to me) car. No lease payments for me!
I would get current on past due bills, put a portion into my emergency fund, and pay up as many bills as I can with the rest
I would add it towards my home deposit (down payment) 😃 😊
Great idea!
I'm actually $2,000 into saving $5,000-$6,000 to pay my taxes this year.
I'm currently 1/3 of the way to my emergency fund so I would put an extra $5k towards that
Whoop whoop. This is such great news. Well done.
Put it toward a house
With an extra $5,000 - I would keep it in savings as I am a contract worker. If there are any gaps in my contracts, I can use that to cover my expenses.

I'd put it in a high yield savings account and use as a sinking fund
I'd use it towards paying off my car loan

Buy new washer and dryer as well as the floors done
If I had 5k now, I would place into me Emergency Fund which is in gold
Interesting. You would have sell your gold to access your emergency fund. Emergency Funds are usually liquid, which means they remain as cash asset and are accessible for when you need it.
