No disrepect to anyone else who has videos on budgeting on TH-cam but why am I so excited to get off work and start my budgeting after watching you?? You break this info down so well and I am understanding everything you are saying and doing. 😆. Going to get me some cute little pens right now! 😄 Thanks Bri! You're so awesome!!
I have been budgeting weekly for years. I remember the struggles with the first month. I round all expenses not already ending in 5 or 0 to nearest 5 or 0 above e.g. Netflix would be $15. Also would make sure the monthly divided by 4 ended in 0 or 5. (makes the maths easier and builds small buffer can use for debt repayment or a guilt free treat). Best thing I ever did was open a second bank account to pay bills from. It helps massively with budgeting and allows you to see what you actually have to spend.
I have watched SO many videos on the cash envelope system but I never really knew how to start... this video helped me get a good concept on how to begin and it all made sense. thank you!
Wow wow wow!!! I've had major analysis paralysis trying to get my family's finances in order since we moved. This is so perfect and straight forward. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤
This is by far the best break down that I have seen on how to start budgeting while also prepping to get ahead of the month. Most go straight into cash envelopes and such. Thank you so much! Liked & Subscribed!
This is sort of....amazing. Like, you could legitimately sell this as a service and get paid for it. So comprehensive it's just astounding! Thanks for sharing all your hard work and now to put it to use in planning a good budget!
Thank you for this video. I've heard about the cash envelope system before but have always felt overwhelmed by it with no idea where to begin. This was so helpful - I was able to sit down after watching it and make a budget for the first time in my life. Thanks for explaining it so well and making it accessible to those of us who feel overwhelmed by money talk.
Hi Loey!! If you couldn't stick to this type of method like me... check out this video to learn how to use excel for your money tracking. It does the math for you and only takes 20 minutes to set up to be used forever! th-cam.com/video/YzjMKxzSM2Q/w-d-xo.html enjoy!
You did really good. Easy to follow. I wouldn't put gas, groceries and spending as a sinking fun. You would be using that weekly so to me it would be in expenses.
This method is super helpful I always break down my expenses by the number of checks and to save money. I was able to calculate when I was able to reach my savings goals and pay off my car loan. It makes budgeting less stressful.
I know this is an older video but THANK YOU. This is the best visual explanation of how to plan out cash stuffing I've come across, literally 90% of the videos about this don't explain it this well. I'm saving this video for future reference. YOU ARE WONDERFUL!
Thank you for doing a weekly pay period budget. I've never seen a budget video that actually thoroughly explained how to start. So glad I came across your videos.
Omg!!!! This is perfect. I’ve done “my budget” for so many years and I’ve always been kind of lost. Now, doing it this ways has open so many doors. This is amazing. Is kind of hard to start, specially the first like 3 paychecks but now I could really do the sinking funds that I wanted to do. Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!
I first saw this video years ago. I enjoyed it so much. I learned a lot and it was so relaxing. Sadly, I forgot the channel name. Fast forward to now, searching all over YT to find your channel again, remembering that you had pretty writing and used different colored pens. Alas, I FOUND YOU!! SUBSCRIBED FOREVER!! You were ahead of your time when you started your channel. Thank you so much!! ❤❤
I loveeee this video. I get paid weekly and had to adjust to the 2 week templates cause those were the only ones I could find but thank you so much for making this video! I just started budgeting last month and I am honestly blown away with how fast I'm going to be able to get out of debt! ❤
Out of many videos out there I keep coming back to this one 🤗 I started my Budget with this video 🥰 I watch it every time I start budgeting my new month 😊
I’ve literally done this ever since I got married but in excel. It has been our way to live debt free! It’s so easy to visualize how you are financially. Good video!
This is exactly what I’ve been trying to do for the past two months but the way I was doing it was not as organized as I wanted it to be and this is literally perfect I’m so thankful I found this video!!!!
You did a great job explaining this and it actually made sense to me. I'm retired and unfortunately only get paid once a month and trying to figure this out monthly
I see this is an old video just thought i'd let you know this video helps me out soo much more. I have already been doing something like the way you do it but the way you have it layed out is much more easier for me. Thank you thank you!
Budgeting weekly has helped me to increase my credit score and my debt is going down faster. Thank you so much. Can you do an updated weekly budget video?
Been doing our household budgeting wrong all this time! I definitely like yours better! My husband and I only get paid twice a month (three on a 5 week month) and we both work at the same place. So I will definitely start doing it this way starting this July, which is already the second half of an entire year. Fingers crossed!
That was a huge help, I have watched tons of videos that talk about it, but don't explain how to start. And it sounds more like bragging than a helpful "how-to" Thank you so much!!
Bri, where have you been???? I’ve been watching video after video to try to make sense of ONE, this is just what my brain needed to get my sinking funds going!!! Sweetheart, thank you sooo much, I know this is an older video but just now found it.🤦🏽♀️🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love your videos! Right to the point without all the theatrics that so many you tubers like to put out there. Think I’ll be able to get my budget set up today for March. Thank you
Your video is probably the easiest to understand. I've been searching for one that pertains people who get paid weekly. Thanks for the video. this will help
I appreciate how detailed this video is and easy to follow. It’s the easiest explanation I have seen so far. Thank you for the step by step explanation.
I just subscribed to your channel. I've watched quite a few other budgeting videos, but none explained the breakdown as simply as you did in this one. Thank you soo much for taking the time to illustrate it on paper. I actually believe I can do this!! Love your erasable ink pen!
I've been watching multiple videos and looking into the cash stuffing method over the last few days and thought this could work, but how do I get there. Then I came across this video, and it was like a lightbulb went off. You, my friend, are Awesome, and Thank You for this breakdown! It definitely makes the getting started aspect possible. Definitely sharing this video with as many people as I can and looking forward to watching more of your videos.
this is by far the best explanation I've watched after watching so many cash stuffings && left with the question of "where did you get that #." Thank you for taking your time out to break it down !
You are doing an excellent job. I don’t have a lot of debt. Car note $362 month I have been paying $400 month for about six months but I do need help with budget on the rest of the month thanks so glad I found you
Thank you for sharing. This truly made the "light bulb" go off for me and I have a better understanding of how to do this. I appreciate your patience in explaining all of it and I'm very grateful. Enjoy the day! Catherine
Thanks. This was very helpful. I wish I found this one at the beginning of the year but better late then never. Not all of the budgeters have a break down like this or even share one.
Thank you so much. This help me set up my planner and budget. We are in a really bad financial situation so every penny counts. You are right first month is the hardest. Just did ours and we are in a deficit. I think that ones we get back in the grove of two incomes will be much easier
$1,500 is my mortgage but I’m in Houston and is a 4K square ft house. It always interests me what you can get in other places for the same amount. I’d love to have the NY experience but my wallet says “slow down heifer, you don’t have it like that.” 🤣
This is a great strategy! It's not something I would use right now (most of my bills are very low, and rent has been prepaid for the month) so we just pay each bill in the pay period it's due (would work out to the same, 6 of one, half a dozen of the other as they say). But I think when we are making more money and have to budget the rent, I will definitely be using this idea. This takes self-control because some people see that extra $200 in the account (not really "extra"). That's what I'm worried about. We've had separate accounts our entire marriage, but a few weeks ago, we opened a joint account. I can see if he spends $, he can see if/when I spend $. It's a kind of accountability thing.
This was super helpful! I never saw budgeting that way. My amount for my debt snowball was always a set amount, not what was leftover. Can’t wait to try this! *hits subscribe button*
You answered my question with initially getting started and how it’ll be a challenge but stick to it and it’ll get easier. Because I’ve been paying the full amount when due, I don’t have anything saved to divey much up with this check that I’ll be using to begin your method. Now to look for things to sell. 🤪
I would like to note out that for car maint and christmas you added the 1st paycheck (may 4th) into calculation, so you need to either recalculate the payments or pay double in one of the months (because you couldn't contribute anything to these sinking funds in that paycheck) , otherwise you will be 1 payment short by your marked due date.
Do you have utilities to pay like electric, gas, water, trash? I didnt see that listed on your bills you have. Very great video. Thank you so much for sharing
No disrepect to anyone else who has videos on budgeting on TH-cam but why am I so excited to get off work and start my budgeting after watching you?? You break this info down so well and I am understanding everything you are saying and doing. 😆. Going to get me some cute little pens right now! 😄 Thanks Bri! You're so awesome!!
The first indicator being a pen that erases! I knew I found the right mentor because I like permanent but not too permanent 😂
New to adulthood and expecting a baby. You’re honestly heaven sent
Vigtoria awww thank you, and you got this! Stay determined and focused!!
This was so helpful! All everyone does is talk about the concept but they don’t actually SHOW you how to do it.
Agree
Awesomeness
💯
YAAAAS girl I agree. I've been trying to do this for a year but I'm visual. This helped soooo much!!
@@Kristinnnnnnlaughs I still use this to this day! And it’s been a year!

Wow I've been listening to Dave Ramsey for so long but they never explain the basics like this! Thank you so much!
Happy to help! 👏🏼💗
I absolutely love how u broke this down! Wish I would've saw this years ago! Oh well..better late than never!!
Never too late to start!! 👏🏼🤍
I just finished my budget and I see that I have more money left over than I thought. Breaking down expenses helps
I have watched SO many videos on the cash envelope system but I never really knew how to start... this video helped me get a good concept on how to begin and it all made sense. thank you!
I put cash envelop for my gas and food
So true
Wow wow wow!!! I've had major analysis paralysis trying to get my family's finances in order since we moved. This is so perfect and straight forward. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤
You’re so welcome!!
Thank you for showing weekly budget!! That's how my husband and I both get paid!!
I appreciate the details in the graphs showing the weekly income and breakdown in the spand of five months.
This is by far the best break down that I have seen on how to start budgeting while also prepping to get ahead of the month. Most go straight into cash envelopes and such. Thank you so much! Liked & Subscribed!
This video is SO WELL EXPLAINED I just started a new job and I’m excited to follow this budgeting system thank you!!

You did really good. Easy to follow. I wouldn't put gas, groceries and spending as a sinking fun. You would be using that weekly so to me it would be in expenses.
The reason it's in sinking funds is its purchases that can be typically easier to make cash envelopes for
Agree it’s not a sinking funds
To me it's a sinking fund because I can pull what I need at the time. I may not do all my shopping at once or spend the same amount every time.
Her handwriting is so pretty 🥺
Thank you!! (:
So is her nails!❤
This method is super helpful I always break down my expenses by the number of checks and to save money. I was able to calculate when I was able to reach my savings goals and pay off my car loan. It makes budgeting less stressful.
Totally off topic but I love the color of your nail polish!
Tassie Renee hahaha thank you!! 😘
@@BudgetWithBri pretty sure you were wanting someone to notice and comment on your nails
Same...lol...I was looking her nails saying I gotta get my nails done...they look so good.

Most understandable way I have seen so far! Can't wait to start my cash stuffing journey in June to pay off debts. Thank you so much for the video! ❤
Bri, where have you been???? I’ve been watching video after video to try to make sense of ONE, this is just what my brain needed to get my sinking funds going!!! Sweetheart, thank you sooo much, I know this is an older video but just now found it.🤦🏽♀️🥰🥰🥰🥰
In a week, I've watched 20 of these. This was the most helpful. Thank u

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH OKAYYYYYY this is like when the Pythagorean theorem clicked for me in middle school math 😂 thanks so much girl! This is awesome.
I like your budget method. It's similar to the way I budget weekly for my family. Love the nail color!!

Thanks a lot. This is the best budget planning I have seen. I have watched tons.
Glad it was helpful! 🤍
I have seen so many budgeting videos but this one has been the best so far. Really helpful how you broke it down. Thank you
Thank you ! I am a visual person - planning out several months makes sense for this bi-weekly paid person.
this is by far the best explanation I've watched after watching so many cash stuffings && left with the question of "where did you get that #." Thank you for taking your time out to break it down !
Well explained,I had no idea how they figured out sinking funds until this videos
You are doing an excellent job. I don’t have a lot of debt. Car note $362 month I have been paying $400 month for about six months but I do need help with budget on the rest of the month thanks so glad I found you
I was so confused on how to start but this video just helped me a lot I can now start thanks to your video! 😊
Samantha Carbajal that makes me so happy yay!! You got this!!
Great job on taking us through the process step-by-step and actually showing how it is done.
Thank you for sharing. This truly made the "light bulb" go off for me and I have a better understanding of how to do this. I appreciate your patience in explaining all of it and I'm very grateful. Enjoy the day! Catherine
This is the best budget video I’ve ever seen plus your voice, handwriting etc all made it so enjoyable and easy to watch
Could you do a video with bi -weekly please ?
She did one like two months ago you can go back and watch 😄
Joyce Buckner you can find it on her website just click her name at the top of this video you will see it its the blue one
I wish i had cool lettering skills like you! ❤
I do this this type of budgeting system but it was more limited. I am inlove with the way you explained it. Can't wait to do this.
This makes it so much easier to understand how it works and how to make it work. Thanks for sharing! I needed this explanation!
You're very welcome!! I'm so glad I was able to help you out (:
This was by far the best explained video especially for a beginner weekly paid person! Thank you
Thanks. This was very helpful. I wish I found this one at the beginning of the year but better late then never. Not all of the budgeters have a break down like this or even share one.
Hi Bri! Tamara again. THIS is the one that my son will need to watch. He gets paid weekly. You ROCK!
Finding this video a year later but helping me out tremendously! First month will be a little rocky but I foresee a less stressful future! Thank you!!
Great explanation for arriving at the budget amounts...thank you!!
This helped a lot! I was circling around this same concept, but I kept getting hung up! This was the perfect instructions! Ty! 😃
You made it so easy to do. I'm very visual and it was so clear. Many thanks!!!
Holy schumckas!!! THIS is what I’ve been looking for! Much appreciated! Great job! Liked and subscribed!
This is very helpful. More of doing rather than saying. Budget your money, build your credit and have emergency funds.
This has been the most helpful video that just makes sense. Thank you for the step by step detailing I feel more confident getting started
You are so welcome!
Can you do a budgeting for Bi-weekly paychecks please.
Thank you so much! My husband gets paid weekly and I really wanted to start budgeting and couldn’t get the hang of it
Thank you so much. This help me set up my planner and budget. We are in a really bad financial situation so every penny counts. You are right first month is the hardest. Just did ours and we are in a deficit. I think that ones we get back in the grove of two incomes will be much easier
$1,400 is literally just my rent 😩😩 darn new York
$1,500 is my mortgage but I’m in Houston and is a 4K square ft house. It always interests me what you can get in other places for the same amount. I’d love to have the NY experience but my wallet says “slow down heifer, you don’t have it like that.” 🤣
I have watched many videos in regards to this topic. thank you for breaking it down and making me feel like i can do this for my family
Sharon Rodriguez you’re very welcome!! You got this!!
Your explanations were fabulous.
Thank you for doing a weekly budget and sinking funds with a realistic income.
Thank you so much for breaking it down like this!!! Do you have any suggestions for monthly paychecks?
This is a great strategy! It's not something I would use right now (most of my bills are very low, and rent has been prepaid for the month) so we just pay each bill in the pay period it's due (would work out to the same, 6 of one, half a dozen of the other as they say).

Great video Bri! These videos are so helpful for beginners! I love your handwriting and the way you lay everything out.
A Merry Life, On A Budget thank you so much!! 😊
Who are we borrowing this extra money from on. May 4th? 😂
She did mention selling something. I agree with spreading the budget to the next week for items that aren't due yet, though.
@@user-xd6nc6rg7b She is not the go person for Budget teaching. FCOL
was thinking this the ENTIRE time
I USED THIS METHOD IN MY EXCEL VIDEO!! YOU INSPIRED MY BUDGET LAYOUT🤗
I have to say a huge thank you 🙏🏼 I’ll be so less stressed with money applying this thanks for helping my family 😯
Thank you sooo much for breaking it down from the beginning!! I been looking for a video like this!!
This was actually the best one I’ve seen so far!

Now to look for things to sell. 🤪
Hi Bri, thank you for this very informative information. This is my first time watching you and I’m happy that I came across it.
You are so welcome! 🤍
I would like to note out that for car maint and christmas you added the 1st paycheck (may 4th) into calculation, so you need to either recalculate the payments or pay double in one of the months (because you couldn't contribute anything to these sinking funds in that paycheck) , otherwise you will be 1 payment short by your marked due date.
thank you sooooo much for this explanation! I was able to budget into July so far!! thank you 🙏
Thank you for this video! This has helped me in so many ways, you made this super easy for me to learn how to get a handle on my finances.
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! Not a lot of videos I've seen show the "ugly month"...the starting month lol this was super helpful, thanks again!
This is the best budget Ive seen yet. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you for the video! ❤️🙌🏻 This is the first of many I’ve seen that has actually clicked with me! Appreciate you!
Super helpful, thank you so much!! I been wanting to start but I also get paid weekly, so glad I found your video!!
Ahhh! I've watched so so many videos and I finally get it!
Beautiful hand writing!!!! Thanks for the video.
This has been the best explanation I have watched, thank you. 😊
