Budgeting & Savings for A Small Business Owner | Budgeting with Aja Dang

[@TinaLeder]

*YES TO THIS SERIES!!* 💃 It feels like there was a moment that she didn't want to *"allow herself to feel excited"* 😥 until someone, in this case Aja, almost *"gave permission"* to be excited / encouraged it. I 💯 get that and glad to see that moment.🧡

[@kelly3848]

I am so excited to see how this series grows!! So proud of Jenny for being so open and vulnerable and for you showing support and helping out others. Thank you for this!! You and Jenny are both so inspiring!

[@AjaDang]

Jenny did amazing!

[@tt_tm]

Aja, you are a phenomenal individual. Not only are you passionate and a badass business woman but you are also a compassionate person who is willing to lift others up. It is hard to find an influencer who embodies your qualities. Your debt free journey has inspired me to get my shit in order. It wasn’t easy but I now have a fully funded emergency fund and no debt (FEELS SO LIBERATING). The next step in my journey is applying the idea of sinking funds. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I can’t wait to purchase your planner and see more of this series. And congratulations Jenny! So inspiring to hear your story and see your progress.

[@msmintygreen]

OMG!! I love the way this series and video came out. You both were so transparent and honest. Can’t wait to see more episodes. Thank you! P.S. My finances are a mess, I need to be on this series too 😂

[@AjaDang]

sign up!

[@SunshineMena]

Am I the only one who is more excited about a possible house tour?! The decore we saw in that last clip looked so cute!

[@AjaDang]

it will be uploaded in the a couple weeks!

[@juliagrummel8884]

Aja! Just like that you’re a real money coach making proven impact on real peoples loves. (Not to discredit all of the great influence you’ve had sharing you’re own journey) I think this is an amazing path for you and I love this series already!

[@audreyc2505]

As a college student with no immediate debt, I love watching your videos to learn more about finances and tips for saving for financial security. I've started budgeting, creating savings accounts for my sinking funds, and just being more aware of where my money is going. I'm so excited about this series, and I can't wait to see how it evolves!

[@SamElle]

IM SO EXCITED TO SEE WHERE THIS SERIES GOES!!! It makes me really happy when I see people "give back" and see you helping jenny out

[@AjaDang]

I'm happy to do it in any form! If people aren't feeling it at a YT series maybe it can be in a different format on IG or something

[@moneyisweird7862]

@@AjaDang I don't have any social media so please keep it on KZbin please!

[@adiecakes]

I’ve always loved your monthly budget series and this video (as well as your others) is so insightful!! My boyfriend and I have started a small coffee and baked goods business online here in the Philippines. We’ve managed to balance it with our studies, we’re both fourth year medical students!! Learning about budgeting and handling our finances has helped us grow better together and save up for future plans 🙏🏼

[@katerinaschenke819]

Love this series!! I wish you could go into more detail with showing people's budgets earlier in the series instead of at the end. Might also be helpful to have more visuals when you talk about the different accounts.

[@MrTKE171]

This series is EVERYTHING!! Aja, you did that girl. So so excited for this series to continue. The transformation I saw with Jenny from beginning to end was amazing. Great job 😊

[@Anna-pd6dc]

I love this because I think it's true for so many people - they do have "enough" money they just don't know it because they don't know where it's going and that causes so much more stress then is necessary!

[@AjaDang]

exactly what happened with me!

[@nancynguyen2263]

Aw, this episode got a little emotional! I loved how you guys talked about how our early experiences with money really influence how we look at money now. Very true. In future episodes, can you put in dates of when you guys checked in, so that we can have a time frame for each milestone?

[@AjaDang]

surely. we checked in once a week and the final check in was a month after we last spoke.

[@shieldoncabahug]

This is something that could be helpful to many people who would like to prioritize budgeting. Looking forward to more videos like these. Great job and wishing Jenny more success!

[@haseena1001]

This was so Amazing! Congratulations Jenny on achieving so much already and wishing all the best on your journey 🔥💐🎉👑 Aja you are such an Awesome person helping others with thwir journey and financial goals 👑🔥🎉💐

[@budgetbabes4781]

Love that you're paying it forward with all the knowledge you've gained over the past few years!

[@roseemich]

YESSS SIS!!! IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!

[@AynBernos]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH thank you Aja!!!

[@haute_healthy]

You are such an inspiration! I have followed your journey since your day 1 debt video and it is so amazing to watch you become debt free and now spending your time helping others become debt free as well. xx

[@V3Music23]

Yes, yes yes!!! This series is going to be amazing. This was so inspirational!! 💖💖

[@maricanaulu7448]

Have been following your journey and m inspired and would also love to build my financial freedom journey through your help Aja. Thanks alot.

[@SuyinOng]

This is so inspiring! How cool is this to see two women psyching each other up and celebrating wins!

[@clarajennings8717]

The introduction to this video is so cute! The graphics and the pink background are pleasant and organized looking as well. Great job, Aja! So excited for this series and to see where it goes.

[@AjaDang]

Chrisline did a great job with the graphics!

[@gpak96]

So excited to see more of this type of content❤️ such a sweet idea, helping your viewers get their finances on track!

[@tittahbyte]

Financial coaching / mentoring is so natural for you!

[@layascorner143]

❤❤❤ I LOVE THIS SOO MUCH!! I started my debt free journey and finished in 11 months. Since then I've gotten my emergency up and now I'd like to look at investing for the long term. Aja can you do a video where we talk with a financial advisor?

[@AjaDang]

my financial advisor is in Hawaii so next time I go home I can see if he wants to do a video. What type of questions do you have?

[@Thejennmachine]

I really liked it made me feel like I shouldn’t be so hard on myself about saving so much in my emergency like still have one yes but also dump as much as possible into debt

[@AjaDang]

it's all about emotional and financial balance. Push as hard as you can to get out of debt but don't feel discouraged when life gets in the way.

[@gwynneio]

LIVING for the look with that fancy-ass pearl hat Aja. 🙌

[@rachelfrombefore]

I’m mad KZbin didn’t let me know about this video! I’m really excited about this series so I hope these type of videos pick up more traction 🤞🏾

[@AjaDang]

oh no! Did it not come up in notifications?

[@rachelfrombefore]

@@AjaDang nope! I’m gone un-ding the bell and ring the bell again😅

[@AjaDang]

Yes! Chrisline is great. I gave her a rough cut of the video and she finished it off.

[@Enchanteralle]

I've been watching your videos and it has really inspired me to get strict with my budget and saving. Getting ready to pay off student loans next yr! Woo hoo!

It's finally here!! Yay Aja! Love this new chapter.

[@amipalmstudio]

YES- this is so awesome Aja and Jenny!! 💕

[@michelleh6768]

Been waiting all year for this!!

[@thesiliconvalleypianoteach9468]

Super helpful video! My biggest problem is grocery shopping for my boyfriend and I. Can you talk more about business expenses account? I am a piano teacher and I do own a business (teaching piano from my home), but I do not feel like I have enough expenses for creating a new bank account. This is basically showing me that I need to clean up my accounts, haha. Thank you so much for this video!

[@vanesavaldivia4861]

Aja I know this series is for budgeting purposes only but it would be kind of cool if people with small businesses like Jenny could talk a little more about their business (like a quick minute) as a quick advertisement. A lot of us would prefer to get services from local businesses and it would be nice to get that info from here.

[@kilaa3417]

Agreed!

[@sydneyswope2009]

So happy for you Aja!!

[@msdwizzle55]

What a great video Aja! Seriously 10/10. 👏

[@rainalynmedina760]

So excited for this series! I would've tried to sign up if I haven't already gotten my finances (somewhat) together from watching the last 2 years hahaha

[@AjaDang]

happy to help haha!

[@miajoyce11]

Very inspiring. Thank you for being willing to help.

[@Laurar35]

Great job ! Very good series. Aja you may have found a new calling. Very positive and encouraging content. Would love to see progress report each quarter or something. LOL

[@audreyc2505]

I was looking forward to this series ever since you mentioned it, but I didn't know that this video was the first of many in this series until I clicked on it (I love watching all of your videos!). One suggestion is to title it something like: "Budgeting with Aja" or something straightforward. Out of curiosity, you mentioned MSTRPLN is the name of your soon-to-be planner, but what does it stand for? Super grateful for this series and excited to see more videos. Thanks Aja!

[@AjaDang]

MSTRPLN (Master Plan) stands for My Strategy To Reality. My planner and my budget hold the keys to all my goals - essentially it's the master plan for my life! also, if we're honest - it was name #1923872938 on the list bc everything else was taken but I love it. The spelling is unique enough to where I was able to get a domain name but it fits right in with the goal of the planner and this series.

[@createinspireco1768]

Love this series Aja! Keep em' coming! Much love from Austin, TX

Oh my gosh I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!

I love watching all your financial videos. Do you have any insight on starting a business? If so, could you make a video about it.

[@circejanuary]

How exciting!!! Congratulations on this new series

[@fellowneurodivergent]

Love to see it! Love you Aja!

[@mlbmachine99]

Hats off to you Aja for doing this. I love your heart for helping others. My one bit of constructive criticism would be for those who are receiving the help. Could Jenny really find no other time to be with Aja aside from when she was driving? Or when her kid was at the playground? Or when she was in an elevator? I get that she's busy, but if Aja is willing to invest this time and provide this valuable assistance--at no expense to the person receiving it, then the least anyone could do is carve out a few minutes and give Aja your full attention. Maybe there's more to the picture that I'm missing. Not knocking on you at all Aja, love what you're doing!

[@MBLydia]

great ! can't wait for more

[@Andee.N]

Loved this video! I’m in college and not making money rn but I love learning about finances and budgeting so I’m informed for the future. Thank you for this series:) (also where did u get ur blue headband with the pearls it’s amazing!)

love to hear that!

Late to watch. But such a great video!

[@joanasilva6807]

You rock Aja! I really love your content. I am a small business owner of a sustainable swimwear brand (Conscious Swimwear go check it if you ever need new bikinis :) and I can relate so much to Jenny. You both inspired me to start the process asap. Thank you ❤️

[@ll-cm5xq]

Jenny - were you recording part of this video inside Mongolian ger? Or are you in Mongolia? Please let me know. I’m curious.

[@aniaopoka8492]

Does anyone know an app similar to Empower that works within Europe? I am already using Revolut, but I feel like this one is betterrrr :/

[@haruharuheart]

can you make a video on empower and the other online banks/money apps you use? I really want to try it out but hesitant to try online banking/ app based banking xD

[@fridagarcia5057]

This isn’t too helpful sorry but i know she’s talked a lot about empower before in some budget videos not sure when though sorry she does love it though

[@hongorzulbatbayar4201]

Jenny, where did you find a yurt? Hahaha

[@moneyisweird7862]

When will your budget planner be launched? Will it be shipped to the UK?

[@AjaDang]

it will be shipped overseas but right now we are struggling to find a producer. So a timeline is TBD. the planner is 100% done but apparently this process takes years

[@claudiaaa4268]

Ive tried doing my budget andno matter how much i go through it, i dont know how. Ive watching so many videos and im the worse on money. Here i am watching another video. What % is for food, emergency found, etc. 🤷‍♀️

[@MariaFlores-wi5os]

Start off by going through your bank statements & figure out how much you spend per category (groceries, fast food, gas etc) until then is when you’ll be able to create a realistic budget. I get some free budget pages from the budget mom website that have helped me along with Aja’s videos.

[@lariarrue]

First!💖

[@infinitedreaming222]

She looked at her accounts.... and realized she had $15,000.. sigh I’m not saying she’s lying but that sounds like a lie. Maybe it’s code for the in-laws gave us $15,000 because they are tired of us being hereeeeeeeeeeee.

[@AjaDang]

bc she was able to stay at her in-laws they were able to save up money.

[@ceiellel8765]

can she just not call and drive
