Omg so many events for us too! Honestly I try to save a lot more from Jan-May because summer through December is spendy! Like in the summer we usually go on a week long vacation & smaller weekend trips, the zoo etc. We have a huge family between mine and my husbands siblings, nibbling and parents. And most of the birthdays are June-Dec with a high concentration Aug-Nov. Plus people are having babies, weddings etc and I have to participate in those villages if I want people to come to my kids birthday party. The money guys “messy middle” talk is hitting me hard this year.
the summer through end of the year events are crazy 🫥 there is always something to go to every weekend, it gets exhausting lol. and so true on having to attend things to keep up with the village, the messy middle is real 😅
I absolutely hear you on the money not feeling real thing. I LOVE YNAB but sometimes I wonder if I need to do cash for certain things (like groceries...and eating out...) because I just swipe and then I WAM and yeah 😮💨
I have been thinking about doing cash spending on my problem categories like food, especially since a lot of restaurants near me have been adding the 3% fees on using cards. Really hoping I reel it in this month lol
Girl I feel like you are speaking to me when you are telling me how you’re feeling… I’m like yes me too for all of it 😂 There is just never enough time in the day, and I’m always asking myself why does it feel like this now? I think someone is secretly speeding up time 🤭 Looking forward to the Maine trip review. How are you feeling about your surgery? Are you liking the results? The end of the year is always bam, bam, bam with money 🤦♀️ with 3 kids the holiday events always get us. Plus everything the schools want you to contribute for the classroom parties 🤣 whoever thought of making these holidays so close together, didn’t think it through. Can’t wait for the next one!!
I am feeling good after my surgery, I do like the results overall. It was a good decision for me I think. I agree, I think someone IS speeding up time because there's just no way this is the same 24 hours we all had 10 years ago 😂 good luck with all the holiday spending, it's definitely a grind!
Kudos on hitting $10K in the emergency fund! It’s a well thought out, well-balanced budget. I was admiring your overall balances on the left just as you remarked that you were pretty content with your finances… as well, you should be! I think you’re doing great. Plus, you are so close to 1000 subscribers. If you’re not there by the end of the year, you certainly should get there with the January rush. I really enjoyed your channel and look forward to the next video.
Thank you Nanette :) I appreciate the encouragement! It's so easy to focus on what's not going well and miss everything you're doing great on. and hopefully I can reach 1000 soon 🤞 youtube has helped me so much with my financial journey 💚
I’m so glad you like your job! I’m sorry about all of the medical expenses. I know that has to be so stressful 😩 I kind of want to try TH-cam premium. Do you think it’s worth it?
I also hate the YNAB mobile app. It’s literally only good for categorizing transactions if you have it synced with your cards/ bank. Moving money around is a literal nightmare!
Hey Avery...new subbie, looking forward to watching your content.

@@AverysMoneyMoves I’m so glad to hear that!! If it goes this fast now, I can’t imagine how time will feel in the next 10 years 😂 ❤️

@@KatieoftheHouse I’m really liking TH-cam premium, I believe the single plan is a little cheaper as well (I’m currently doing the family plan)!

yes!! I hope they make it more functional soon
