[@allee541]

The budget resets are my favourites!! my insurance went up 30% seems like a lot!! My emergency fund is blown as my hot water service blew yesterday 🤐 but at least I had the funds for it.

[@smileycitrus]

[@ruebennomura9143]

[@lee-13]

Blue looks wonderful on you 😊

[@smileycitrus]

thanks so much! xx

[@AlyceJ]

Yay for travel!!! We’re going to Japan for 2 weeks this month, and have most, if not all, already saved and I can’t wait to see all the surplus from no “regular” spending sitting in our bank account afterwards 😂 Also, I foresee a big business pay going towards that car loan 😉

[@smileycitrus]

hahaha yes, I feel you 😂 holiday spending isn't real spending

[@emmawright200]

Notification squad, where u at? Here from KZbin notifications! Already liked the vid EVEN b4 watching as I know I will ❤ it!

[@smileycitrus]

🥰❤️

[@BudgetDownUnder]

That intro was a VIIIIIIBBBE!! 🤩🤩

[@smileycitrus]

Mabel understood the assignment ⭐️

[@BudgetDownUnder]

“I don’t want to always be working myself, and fixing all my faults and weaknesses.” That was so beautifully put, that whole part. 🥰 important to take breaks. 👏🏽 xx

[@smileycitrus]

something i'm constantly having to remind myself of 🥲🥰

[@EmsFitVenture]

The trick for the rollover would be to add a line in income as rollover that you’d have to add from the month before. If you use sinking funds you would add that there too as income from your sinking fund if you wanted to include all your travel spending in your budget sheet.

[@smileycitrus]

that's what I was doing before and it worked great but it skewed my overall income at the end of the year 🥲

[@EmsFitVenture]

@@smileycitrus Don’t you work with the creator of the spreadsheet? I would recommend it to them as an upgrade! Too bad there isn’t a spot to differentiate so your income isn’t off.

[@kimthatcher5952]

Weird question. I am pretty sure when you first started you were using Every Dollar for budgeting. Why did you swap to a spreadsheet? And also did you ever think about using something like YNAB? I’m using it but now thinking maybe I could get away with the spreadsheet haha. Just curious how you landed on your decision.

[@KattsLife]

❤❤❤

[@denno7998]

I just have a question. If you use money from your savings how to do you record it to balance out in the sinking funds tab?

[@Jessica-wu3ue]

Hey Ella, I've Been watching you since your Candian vlogs haha. Anyway, I was wondering what budget template you use from the website Coplenty. I really like the spread but I'm just not sure on which version. If you could let me know that would be great, Love what you're doing and you are a mega slay.

[@smileycitrus]

Hi!! thank you so much for sticking with me 🥹 I use the Yearly 2.0 personally

[@biravijnya]

Hi Ella, hope you're doing well! I wonder if you do thrift. I'd love to see what thrifting scene is like in Adelaide A thrifting vlog could be a good video idea :) just a suggestion, no pressure. Love your videos!

[@smileycitrus]

thank you! I've tried thrifting before but never with a lot of luck but it's definitely something I want to try more! x

[@justkellyfromsomewhere]

How do you track transfers from different bank accounts or ewallets?

[@kimsmith3265]

My car insurance went up over 20% at renewal in April too. So annoying

[@smileycitrus]

oh no 😩

[@DonnasWonderland]

I think that blue looks great on you you might be a clear spring light eyes dark hair and warm skin tone and that would put that bright blue right in you colour chart. I’m a cool winter I had my colours done it was very interesting I’ve dark eyes naturally dark hair and I’ve snow whites skin lol 😂

[@smileycitrus]

oooh interesting!! I nearly always fake tan so I wander what my true colours would be 😂

[@DonnasWonderland]

@@smileycitrus if you naturally have pink undertones you’d be a cool like me I’d still say cool spring based on your hair and eye colour if you have yellow undertones then a warm spring these would be my guesses 😉 Nie you have to go to a pro and we’ll see if I’m right lol 😂 it could make a good video mia maples did her and her mums colours on her channel a few months back 👍🏻

[@MM-zo3uz]

Really nice blouse! Where did you get it from? 😍

[@smileycitrus]

thank you!! I think it's from Showpo!

[@MM-zo3uz]

@@smileycitrusthanks a bunch!

[@christinebourlioufas1336]

You look so much younger since giving up your travel job

[@smileycitrus]

hahaha the stress was aging me

[@danozmusic]

Is your mortgage payment the minimum amount that you have to pay or are you paying extra?

[@smileycitrus]

the minimum repayments but we have our savings in our offset account

[@megiemoon72]

where is your top from?

[@smileycitrus]

Showpo! x

[@moonmother.]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@smileycitrus]

hi!! 🥰

[@AllthingsSocialWork]

Hi do you ever go over your business income? I need to get better at organizing mine

[@smileycitrus]

I haven't in detail but I definitely can!

[@abicooks]

u are gorgeous and fun

[@cheeeeeeeeyy]

Disney are changing their pricing soon 🥲

[@smileycitrus]

stop it 😩

[@mollykane8996]

Disney plus also increased its monthly subscription 😭😭😭😭

[@smileycitrus]

I just got the email 😭😭

[@jenn23140]

Love the transparency but would like to continue seeing your actual earnings. You could create a savings account for the total less the amount you want to pay yourself

[@smileycitrus]

I 100% will continue being honest about my earnings, I just wasn't sure how to go about it if i'm not taking the whole amount for my personal money. Great suggestion though! i'll give that a go ☺️ thanks!

[@christinebourlioufas1336]

One complaint Ella please speak a bit slower too fast

[@smileycitrus]

you can change the playback speed on youtube if it's too fast!

[@AlyceJ]

I speed it up to 1.25 😅
