I started a Christmas sinking fund after watching one of your videos 2 years ago. The first year I didn’t put enough away each month and it was a stress Christmas however this year, after watching your video last year, I sat down & worked out every penny I would need. Even bought myself a Saving challenge on Etsy to keep me motivated. By November I saved all the money we needed and it was such a stress free Christmas, was able to get everything we needed and had £7 left over at the end! So a big thank you for advocating sinking funds! They are so important! X
this is the second year i've had a sinking fund for the holidays. basically all my december spending comes out of that fund, it's definitely made this time of year a lot less stressful
This is such a helpful video and really makes me want to start a sinking fund for the Holidays next year so I'm less stressed. One unexpected cost is all the "Friendsgivings"/"Friendsmas" celebrations that pop up with different social groups, and needing to bring a dish/drinks to each one that can feed enough people gets a little financially taxing. Although, thankfully, my cousins and group of friends do Secret Santa every year. It helps to just buy one gift for one person, and everyone has that mutual understanding vs. having to buy gifts for every single friend/family member.
Starting your holiday budget at Thanksgiving is so smart. It's easy to just think of holiday spending in terms of Christmas/holiday gifts and parties when it's really the next 5-6 weeks.
This is my second year having a complete holiday budget and it is seriously the best thing! Now if I could just get my fiancee on board to do the same 🙁
I love videos like these. So smart to include Thanksgiving as part of the holiday spending since most people just think about Christmas gifts. I’m all about making the holidays stress free. Will you be doing a video on the 2023 MSTRPLN?
Awesome video Aja! We got my mom a Roborock S7 or something like that, the suction is very strong, it can go over carpet areas as well as wood AND it mops!! She loves it!!
I just got a Eufy robot vac and it works well and It’s been recommended to me by tons of people (even ppl who used to have roomba’s). Plus they are affordable. Mine was only $130!
Hi Aja, would it be possible to enable screen recording on your tablet instead of just the overhead? It's hard to see your screen and the camera shakes a bit. Very informative video, thank you!
I'm done with Christmas gift shopping over the previous holidays and booking trips. I now only have holiday food and get-togethers left but I am way below my Christmas budget this year!
Zumba is an aerobic fitness class and Roomba is the vacuum 😂

*the benefits of having no friends* lol
Thank you for this! And Zumba is a dance exercise class 😂
I think you mean Roomba which is one of the more popularly known robot vacuums lol. Thanks for the great video!
ahhh!!! Yes, that makes sense
@@AjaDang yes I thought you at first meant Zumba like the dance classes

Rumba is another name for the robot vaccum! Zumba is a type of dance/exercise class!
Needed this! Can you do an updated starting a budget plan from scratch? Like a beginning series? Things ti start doing?/
YES! I was *juuusssttt* thinking about this since I'm building Brian's budget from scratch.
@@AjaDang PLEASE! because I am spending more then what I make ( pulling from my savings) :( OOps!!!!
I’d love to see how you break down your budget and how you keep track of it (eg Mint, spreadsheet etc)
yes! I'll be doing updated Budget videos soon
Yeeeees 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
For the holidays, I usually do hand written cards and something from Groupon. I love Groupon. and girl: ROOMBA!! are robot vacuums. lol
Got the Eufy vacuum on Amazon for Black Friday a few years ago. Runs great and is a much more affordable option!
We have a Eufy as well and absolutely love it.
Lol when you said Zumba I was like “Wait, her mom wants a membership to a Zumba class? She must really love it.😂”
Thank you for existing Aja! Love your videos 😭❤️
This is my second year having a complete holiday budget and it is seriously the best thing! Now if I could just get my fiancee on board to do the same 🙁
I'm sure he's incredibly grateful that you've been doing that for your family! Have you asked him to help?
LMAO you meant ROOMBA 😂 you're the best Aja!!
I love videos like these. So smart to include Thanksgiving as part of the holiday spending since most people just think about Christmas gifts. I’m all about making the holidays stress free. Will you be doing a video on the 2023 MSTRPLN?
I'll probably do a flip through within my 2023 goal videos
Hopefully see you in Tokyo Aja!!
Thank you for this! When I heard 1%, I was like uh not for me haha. Thankfully I also budget for it throughout the year so it hurts a little less 😅
ya... 1% is impossible IMO. Maybe for gift giving but holiday spending as a whole that would be pretty difficult
Thanks for your tips! Also, love the top!
I love the illustrations! 😍
Awesome video Aja! We got my mom a Roborock S7 or something like that, the suction is very strong, it can go over carpet areas as well as wood AND it mops!! She loves it!!
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing
We're so passionate about Sinking Funds!
I miss your budget videos!!!
I just got a Eufy robot vac and it works well and It’s been recommended to me by tons of people (even ppl who used to have roomba’s). Plus they are affordable. Mine was only $130!
Love the breakdowns :) and hopefully you get to Tokyo! I go in two weeks.
The vacuum you are thinking of is called a Roomba lol
Haha it’s called roomba! Great deals on Costco for them & the perfect gift for Asian parents who love to clean.
The roomba is what you’re thinking of !! Haha
Hi Aja, would it be possible to enable screen recording on your tablet instead of just the overhead? It's hard to see your screen and the camera shakes a bit. Very informative video, thank you!
Yes, I can do that.
This is exactly what I was going to suggest!
I was like… her mom wants dancing classes?? Ahahahahaha 🧡💜
though my mom is definitely someone who would take a dance class lol
Best Buy has them for sales for Cyber Monday, I got one last year
I second the Eufy vacuum - super affordable on Amazon and works well :)
Where are your shirts from?! So cute 😍
I'm done with Christmas gift shopping over the previous holidays and booking trips. I now only have holiday food and get-togethers left but I am way below my Christmas budget this year!

Doing this for next year. The way I pull money out of thin air every year 😂
