Omg the identity crisis before a trip is so real, I feel like I want to be a different person when I go on holiday 😅

[@smileycitrus]

[@hannasmith794]

I’ve never had leave loading anywhere I’ve worked and I’m in Adelaide too, had never heard of it until watching your videos!

[@moniquef4737]

Thinking of you and Nick ❤❤

[@BriBri0218]

I use the same budget template thanks to you, it’s great so much detail. Although I love doing up a budget and punching in the numbers, I can never stick to it 😓 any tips?

[@smileycitrus]

oooh this is a tough one!
1. making it a daily habit and tracking everyday is KEY.
2. Working out what your goals are with your finances and working your budget around that. Anytime you go to make a purchase ask yourself "Is that a want or a need? will this help me reach my financial goals?"
3. Keep it realistic!

[@amandacarr3929]

Thank you 🎉❤

[@elizabeththompson1525]

New to your channel and love the content!! Can you do a q&a video sometime? $10K after taxes?!!! Other people also love your channel! Slay!!

[@smileycitrus]

thank you!! 🥰

[@AshleyJade18]

To tend to buy a bunch a clothes RIGHT before a trip too BUT i more than likely won't want to wear any of it on the trip because it takes me a while to feel comfortable to new clothes/i don't know if it will get halfway through the day and i feel uncomfortable in what i am wearing. 🤣 Weird, i know!

[@smileycitrus]

no I TOTALLY relate to that 😂

[@tarnz1684]

Do you prefer or work more on your laptop or your desktop?

[@smileycitrus]

probably my laptop for everyday emails & editing vlogs but I love my desktop for editing other videos, taking calls etc.

[@graceswinton5002]
