- We do our best work when we feel calm and happy. And we are the most efficient when we are in a space that facilitates those feelings.
Enter: budget stations.
I highly recommend that everyone utilize a budget station in their own life. The perfect budget station is one where everything you need regarding your finances is within arm’s reach. Your bills are there. Highlighters, pens, and sticky notes are also present. If you pay anything via snail mail, make sure to have your checkbook, stamps, and envelopes handy. I also recommend a binder and hole puncher so that you can organize bills, receipts, and any critical documentation such as your mortgage. It also doesn’t hurt to have a calendar on your desk so that you can visualize paydays and due dates.
If your budget station is set up perfectly, then you won’t need to search for anything. The moment you sit down, you have everything you need to handle your finances.

I found an IKEA Galant rolling drawer organizer with 4 drawers at my local Habitat Restore for only $5!!! They go for $150-$175, so that was a HUGE score!!! Every drawer as a specific function and keeps EVERYTHING I need handy right next to my desk and my printer sits on top.
I combine my budget by paycheck system and my Sunday basket system. The minute I get mail it is organized into a file and I deal with it all on Sunday. I never lose mail and it helps having a system for organizing all of my paper. Then I pay my bills once a week from my bill file. It’s working well, refining my system now.
A bar cart would be a great way for me to Bill pay & drink through it LOL. I love you Budget Mom!!!!! Let’s rock this
I love that! I'll join...😁
My bank tellers loves the teller sticky note. They're always so appreciative when I bring one for withdrawal 😊
I was a teller years ago and it’s so nice when customers do this. Especially when some banks see 400+ people a day! 💛
Mine too! As a former bank teller, I agree these are AMAZING!
Where do you find the sticky notes???
Love my rolling cart for all my planner/budget supplies. “Snail mail”. Lol.
You going to make me rearrange my cart lol! Sometimes you can get stickers books for $5.00 at Hobby Lobby when they have clearance
That’s me all day. The most I’ll pay is $8.00.
I love office supplies and organization! This is wonderful, thank you!
Love the new LRP cover design! Absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful!!! Thank you Miko!
omg, amazing. along with your budget recaps these videos are very useful. Please make more of these
Love this!!!! We have a dedicated drawer for my planner and all my budgeting supplies. It makes budgeting fun! 🎉
Yes!!!! I’ve been waiting for this video 😂😍 I need to get my station sorted - love it 💕
Love your tips and tricks! And I have learned so much from you! You have totally change my mind set with money! And I am very grateful!
I am so excited to organize my space and shop my stash! I know I have lots of goodies just waiting to be repurposed for budgeting! Thanks for inspiring me!
My husband got me a roll top desk for Christmas! I have all the budgeting, organizers and work supplies right there!
I'm still getting back and forth with the way I want to do this, but you're approach inspired me...thank you
This is so helpful! Thank you! And timely! I'm husband is actually setting up my roll-top desk today! We had thought we'd get rid of it when we moved so it's just been hanging out in the garage. But with budgeting, I've realized life if a lot messer with out it! 😁
I love this! The Budget Mom is part of the Planner Community! Whoohoo!
Great information, I live in a camper and have to figure out a dedicated space so thank you for the ideas!
Love this!
I love this video! I’ve been excitedly waiting for it ever since you announced it on IG last week. I liked the bit about the cat hair 🤣
I loved this video! Thanks you so much!
😀 I enjoy watching your videos 😀
This is great!
I love the mildliner highlighters
Your station is EPIC 😱
Thank you for this!!
Miko, your completed full sleeve looks incredible!
Great video thanks! 😀
Love it! I just made my first budget video! I love following you and your set up!
Love it 👍
Love this! I need a designated budget space
Loved this video. I am definitely going to get a rolling cart I find myself not wanting to do my budget because I have to go search for everything. Thank you!
Stickers!!!!! A girl after my own heart
Nice sleeve!🔥
❤ this!
Love this idea. I need a budget station. New subbie.
I have found the happy planner stickers at the dollar store!!
I just created my own by using an over the door storage - so it holds all my budget stuff
This motivated me to organize my finance cart. It is currently doing double duty, with some craft supplies, and looks like a train wreck. 🤦🏾♀️😂
Me too!!! My cart was mixed with my other planner/crafted junk. I’m with you!
I’d like to know why I never thought of putting all this stuff on a moveable cart 🤣🤦🏼♀️!
Is that the new BBP workbook I spy on your desk?? And the LRP is gorgeous! Can't wait to get my hands on those!
You are the best
I waz waiting for this video love u
Thank you!
Being organized is definitely a skill set lol
Love from HTX
GOD YOUR SLEEVE IS SO SICK I LOVE IT
I have the same cart
Home goods has a good selection
Michael has a different line of stickers that are half the price of the happy planner stickers. I take an old planner rip out the sheets and tape them in so I can condense the bulk of them so I don’t have one 1/4 full taking up space.
I love this video! But I have been watching you for quite awhile, and I can't remember ever seeing you use stickers before. Do you just use them in your planner? I am only using Budget by Paycheck system. I would love to see how you use all those stickers and stencils!
When does the new live rich planner come out? I love that flower cover .
Love from India sis
I just received my new Live Rich planner--- what video would be the best one to watch just to see how you organized yours? I see you have so many here on youtube. Thank you!!
@The Budget Mom Great budget station. I have a question, is that the new LRP, it is amazing, I just received mine today (I bought one last year an loved it) but I dont remember seeing this new cover. Is it going to be exactly the same inside or is there anything new?
Found the stickers at the Dollar Tree
Wow! When did you finish your sleeve?
Nice,
Do you have an update video for this year?
Can you please do a video on investing an stocks with apps please I’m new too this an would love too save more !
I have a dedicated budget station. A desk in the living room
Where did you get the desktop marker organizer? I need something like that!
Zulily has happy planner stickerbooks done of the exact ones she showed for under 20$
Wow!! Thanks for sharing that!! Awesome page 👏👌
I love the rotating pen holder! Anyone know where to find it?
I'm scaling down, so no more sticker books or planners until I finish the ones I have, too much disorganization with so many sticker books and planners. Also, being organized and avoiding any channels that talk about new releases will save me money. I have a large rolling cart for my office space and a small one for my bedroom. 🙃
I have so many happy planners and sticker books and I don't even use them anymore bought some more two weeks ago and I don't know why 🤔
@@specialk8927 fear of missing out, thankful that the stores are closed because of covid so I won't be visiting Micheals anytime soon.
Ok where did you get the Rolling Cart, and What Brand please? I am a relative Newbe
can I purchase your budget planner as a printable? Also, are the populated with the dollar sign? I am from South-Africa and prefer material with no currency signifier.
I have your workbook and came here to find out what highlighters you use. You are using mildliners, which is what I have, but they bleed through the paper. How do you keep them from bleeding through?
💜💙💜💙💜
what's the sticker maker called? i keep typing "pulli sticker maker" and nothing comes up
Do you still sell the teller sticky notes?
Where did u get the holder for you budget planner. I need one of them
I use a acrylic cookbook holder or a typing stand
What if I run my own business, how do I budget my finances focusing on both the business and my expenses?
Update on my station:
I have upgraded back to a full size desk with 2 matching cabinets. The cabinets are organized with files and supplies and everything else I don't want out in the open causing clutter. My desk has all my budgeting needs in the right side and the left has multiple storage units to keep all systems ready to go, with everything having its own dedicated space.
I keep all my stickers inside my TBM Pen pouch.
This is a great idea, but I just use excel.
Ive been watching so many of these videos and it seems like all budget supplies are designed for women. I cant find any elegant budget planners, stickers, etc that are designed for men :(
I have way way too many sticker books duplicates and triplicate...how do I get rid of some of this stuff
Sell it on Facebook. That’s where I plan to buy mine 😉
Do u plan on paying off ur home early
She paid cash for her home....she does not have a mortgage.
As a single mother crypto investment has helped me pay my bills and live happy...wish i invested from the early days
The market dropped last night
Yea....this is the best time to buy
Perfect....you buy when the market is low to get profit when it rise
Just sold my car to invest into crypto....the market drop is simple a sign for new investors to come in....
Bitcoin trading right now will be at every wise individuals list. In few minutes you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today

I’m here trying to listen to what she’s saying. Meanwhile in my head “she’s so pretty” “how young is she?”.
Love this!!!
