This was the first year I heard my son say “Santa did his thing this year!” 😂 I was on the lowest budget and it made a difference. My favorite gift to give was the bow and arrows for my son 🎅

[@allthingsalecia]

Great video. I am looking forward to saving for our family cruise in March and saving for our emergency fund in 2025. I enjoyed giving my son 2 pairs of shoes that he really wanted for Christmas. They were expensive so he was completely shocked to receive them. This year I asked everyone to just focus on the kids instead of me but my mom gave me a gift card to one of my favorite restaurants Seasons 52 and I can’t wait to use it! They have some of the best high quality food. Congrats on reaching over 3k subscribers! That is amazing! For 2024, I am proud of us for using all cash savings for our vacations. We went to Punta Cana for my 40th bday, a family cruise to Bahamas, Mexico and Turks & Caicos…so fun! We’re blessed and I’m so thankful. Can’t wait for what 2025 holds for us! 🎅🏾

[@thexobudget]

Ooooh. I am honestly someone who LOVES sneakers so I definitely know how excited your son would be. What a great savings goal you have for both the cruise and your emergency fund. I hie you crush your goals!!

[@dianebarnes484]

I completed my 52-week challenge and my 2.5K challenge and I am only $152 short of completing my 100 envelope challenge.

[@thexobudget]

Get it!!! Wow that is amazing. So proud of you. I hope you are able to keep rocking those goals for this coming year too!

[@kathysnyder3881]

I turned 60 on Christmas Eve and my family threw me a surprise party the weekend before!! It was 60s themed and amazing!! 🧑‍🎄

[@thexobudget]

Omg Belated Happy Birthday!!! What a fun way to celebrate and so creative. I'm so glad you had such an amazing celebration of life! ♡

[@BudgetingWithKim]

I would say the main goal I accomplished this year was just simply getting started cash stuffing. I started December 2nd, so it’s still pretty rough but it’s a step forward

[@thexobudget]

We all start somewhere! I'm so proud of you for even taking the first step to get started. That is amazing!

[@NovaVanBuren]

One of my big goals for 2024 was to try out the cash stuffing budget method actually, and I'm so glad I did, because for once I was able to buy gifts for all my family for Chritmas and even though I am still unemployed, at least I wasn't broke this year! And now that this big issue feels settled, I'm excited to explore new hobbies in 2025 and learn new skills and not have to worry about money all the time. 🎅

[@thexobudget]

Ahh! I remember when I first started ash stuffing that was the biggest reason that I wanted to do so, was to save for Christmas with every paycheck. I love that you were able to gift your family and now see the benefit of maybe getting to stuff even a little bit for all your new hobbies! good luck!

[@missdebxomoney]

So happy I found your videos!! Love your aesthetic! Happy new year and congrats on 3k 🎉

[@thexobudget]

Omg yay! I'm so happy WE found EACHOTHER! I hope you're having the best new year and thank you so much for your support ♡

[@NinaBina1980]

Congrats for hitting the 3k subscribers. I just love all your videos.😊

[@thexobudget]

Omg thank you so so much! I appreciate you and love YOU for your support ♡

[@BudgetwithLasandra]

I got a kitchen-aid mixer from my husband (so excited) and as for giving, all my family got their #1 things on their lists so was excited to see all their faces! 🎅

[@thexobudget]

A kitchen aid?? Wow! I would love to know what you get to make with it! I love mine. I try to bake as often as I can with it ◡̈

[@Cruzangirl30]

Love the video! So happy to see you reached your goal of 3K 🎉🎉🎉 🎅

[@thexobudget]

Thank you so so much! I am so grateful to everyone and their support ♡

[@SaveItMell]

I hit my 2024 goal of starting cash budgeting seriously and filming to help keep me accountable. 2025 I have loftier goals, but still attainable ones. Great cash stuffing this paycheck!

[@thexobudget]

Yess! Get those goals!! I definitely agree that filming truly helps me stay accountable and that is why I started this channel in the first place!

[@AndalloTribeBudgets]

You’re over 3k!!! Congratulations girl! I’m stuck where you are with the $10’s. I found a P for the 20’s.

[@thexobudget]

Ahhhh! I'm so so happy hehe. A P for the 20's? I'm so jealous. I am still on the hunt haha. But I hope you got your goodies this time!

[@tfink1993]

My husband set up a cookie decorating class with some friends ♥️ I also got your in the bank tracker! 🎅🏼

[@thexobudget]

Ooooh wait that sounds like my kind of party. LOL. I love decorating and being able to eat it after haha. Yay! I hope you love it. Thank you for your support! 🎅🏻

[@planwithelisag]

Love the intro 👂my fave gift was my signature perfume from my hubby, he knows I have been wanting to buy it for myself for a long time no, but just haven't gotten around to it. 🎅

[@thexobudget]

Ahhh. The soothing ASMR of money counting hehe. Omg! What perfume? I have had my eye on one that I've been wanting but it can get soooo expensive! I'm glad he knew exactly what to get you ◡̈ 🎅🏻

[@shatieradgceo]

This is my first time watching your videos! I love going shopping with friends and family. Its not so much fun when we have to spend money right 😆

[@thexobudget]

Welcome!! Thank you for your support! Ugh. Not fun at all but it is still nice to get to take it home for myself rather than for someone else lol

[@stacyriddle]

Those letters depend on what federal reserve it was printed at. So, you might have to find out the location or d the ones you need and reach out to someone in those areas to complete your challenges.

[@thexobudget]

I know that the letters in beginning of the serial number are about what federal reserve but the letters at the end (which is what I look at) sahooooould be random lol. I guess we will see as I continue to travel and try to collect more!

[@michaelapellerine]

My fav Xmas gift was our safe! My MIL bought it for us & it’s super nice to have as a cash stuffer. Financial goal for this year is to have my 2026 wedding fully funded. May be a little ambitious but we’ll see 😅

[@thexobudget]

Omg what an amazing gift! It definitely helps with your peace of mind knowing it is all secure. Omg yay! All the best with that goal. I love that

[@hartynee8932]

Started cash stuffing last Feb 2024 and was able to pay all my birthday trip☺️ It was a shock for me lol. Got to gift my bro for Christmas new shoes which he’s been wanting and i received Harry Potter stuff☺️🎅

[@thexobudget]

Yay! I love being able to see my savings go toward the things and not put me in more debt. IT is so so satisfying. I LOVE Harry Potter. My favorite Christmastime series lolol

[@thexobudget]

Merry Christmas! Ugh. Cold hard cash always hits as an amazing gift haha. Don't be sad! You got so much farther than if you were to have never started so I'm proud of you for even starting!

Hey I am a new subbie. Where did you get your month ahead or moving tracker from?

[@jessicacastellanos6490]

My favorite gift was my laminator my daughter gave me 😊 🎅

[@thexobudget]

Omg yay!! Laminators are so fun for different projects so I'm glad you get to tap into your creativity with that amazing gift! 🎅🏻

[@jessicacastellanos6490]

[@Kennedyfordemakeup]

I love the asmr.❤

[@thexobudget]

Yay! I'm glad you like it. It's one of my favorites to record

[@TheTraditionalDollar]

🎅🏻 we didn’t give gifts due to personal issues and the only gift I got was $100 which was amazing lol

[@thexobudget]

That is totally fair. I couldn't gift a lot either but definitely am making sure I save more to be able to cause it is my love language hehe 🎅🏻

[@sofiakarim2978]

❤❤❤

[@Talamasca]

Sucks you’re not visiting PH anymore. 😭 I subbed initially because ~Pinoys represent~ but actually stayed since your videos calm my ASMR-seeking nerves. Hope you get to go here in the future and keep up the awesome work kthxbyenow 🎅

[@thexobudget]

I KNOW! It breaks my heart. BUT I am making it a goal to visit soon. I just want to make sure I go with my family because it's important for me to be with them. I appreciate your support and hope to make it there one day soon!

[@samensheikh7578]

Can you please tell me what camera mount do you use for your videos?

[@thexobudget]

It's one that I found on Amazon! But I will be honest I am not the biggest fan of it because it takes a lot of managing to ensure it doesn't fall over to a point where it feels a little pointless. But if I find a better solution I will make sure to put it in my description one day!

[@vanessaguerrero7329]

Hey love your video ! Do you sell your new apartment trackers ? I would love to start them for my own goal for 2025

[@thexobudget]

Hi! Aw thank you so much I appreciate that. I do not sell them, I only made it for myself but message me through my Etsy. Maybe I can try to do a custom order for you to be able to start it and I can send you the trackers!

[@budgetwithsiân]

Great video lovely! 💕

[@thexobudget]

Thank you so much, love! ♡

[@thexobudget]

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My new apartment savings trackers are made by me! If you're interested I can look into sending you some. Just message me on my Etsy!

[@budgetwithsiân]

@ I love your items on Etsy! I think postage may be a bit much sending to the U.K. tho unfortunately 😔

[@dorothycave93]

I gave my granddaughter a new IPhone. 🎅
