    I love your transparency with your finances and the honesty around not wanting to continuously hustle to achieve the Europe trip is refreshing. It’s definitely something my husband and I have spoken about this year too, so thanks for bringing it into the open x

    "I would hate to be my bra" HAHA. Really appreciate the full transparency of changing your financial goals, and totally understandable of wanting to just enjoy the present and your life over grinding for europe.

    I’ve always struggled managing my finances. Recently I decided I need to be accountable and make changes but I really didn’t know where or how to start. I just discovered your channel and I’m so inspired. I’ve purchased your template and feeling less confused and overwhelmed about the challenge ahead.
    Looking forward to seeing more of your content! 🥰

    Hi Ella, absolutely love your monthly reset vids, some of my goals for this month are, mainly based around the gym, deadlifting 110kgs for 2 reps, my 1RM is 120kgs, finishing at least one book, spending at least 1/2 an hour a day without technology, playing at least one board game on the weekends, chest press 52kgs in the gym and treating myself with some new clothes at the end of the month

    • @smileycitrus

    You could create a monthly book club with friends? This holds you accountable to read 1 book a month, and also meet up with your favourite people on a regular basis. You'll probably find you'll want to read more in general as a result 😄

    love love love your transparency, I've been watching since the beginning of your channel and love how your content has grown with you, super excited for your upcoming opportunities, wishing you the best of luck!!! taking your advice and putting my goal out into the universe: I want to start my social media accounts this month! I've been planning on doing something like this for a while but there's some exciting events coming up in September/October for the content I'm wanting to post about, so I think it's a 'now or never' kind of moment. The fear is real, but it's super exciting! 💛💛

    Which budget template are you using from the site? I purchased the Ultimate Monthly Budget Spreadsheet for Excel and it looks different to the layout you have. I really love how you have all the months and a seperate subscriptions section which the one I purchased doesn't have.

    I highly recommend the book "Did you hear about Kitty Karr" it has so many twists and turns. It isn't a thriller.

    I had to pause at 22 mins and say I’m sad we won’t be drinking tea ☕️ next year but I totally understand and agree you’ve had two years of go go go it’s nice to just sit back and breathe a little so definitely support the longer term goals perhaps aim the Europe trip for just before you think about starting baby season that could be a cool chapter marker ❤

    • @smileycitrus

    This is the first video I've seen from you and I love it I love how open and honest you are :) I'm 22 and in the process of planning a wedding in Ontario Canada and I love seeing videos like this as it truly motivates me to get my finances in order :) I also love traveling! My favourite place I've been to is Kenya, I went there on a service trip in high school and the sunrises and sunsets were stunning :) sorry I'm a talker lol and love meeting new people :)

    Not a subscriber, just came across your video on TH-cam (its algorithm).
    What stood out for me was the fact your budget has no ‘Investment’ allowance, weather it’s superannuation contribution or stock market investment.
    I’m in my 40s and wish I could tell my 20s or 30s year old self to start investing early. Yes, we did have mortgages & other debts (back then), but even investing little each year, the compounding interest is a powerful thing. Putting money in high yield interest savings account is so old school as our money will lose value over time due to inflation.
    Good luck!

    • @smileycitrus
      @smileycitrus  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      we have superannuation that our employers pay into but definitely want to start adding extra. I do also have ETF's (just not shown in this budget)

    YES Thrillers will always get me back to reading no matter the reading slump 😂 I recommend Jar of Hearts by Jennifer Hillier! Freida McFadden is a hit or miss and she has her formula, but the Coworker wasn’t too bad!

    Notification squad, where u at? Here from TH-cam notifications! Already liked the vid EVEN b4 watching as I know I will ❤ it! In terms of what I am working on this month is not buying any unnecessary things like extra snacks or random things off Amazon. I'm trying to be careful with how much I spend at least until mid-next month.
