I really need to learn to track my expenses! This method seems easy enough to follow so I can know where my money is going. . Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@charleneprince5305]

I always learn something from you! I love the idea of labeling your highlighters based on your budget category. I get confused and end up with a highlighted mess. Thanks

[@brittanny5164]

The subtotal line is a great idea. Thanks!

[@jojobudgets5330]

I 100% agree with expense tracking being super helpful for budgeting.

[@CarolineAnandSiddiqui]

Your complexion is beautiful! 🧡

[@ayannafraleymoore5265]

I love The Budget Mom’s budget process and expense tracker highlighter method also. It’s great to see how other people incorporate her system and her forms into their own process and routine. Great job!

[@phunt8551]

Finally someone explain the difference between fixed and variable that make sense. Thank you. Thank you

[@marissasolomon3846]

This…. This is what has been missing from my life - HOW TO KEEP UP WITH MY BUDGET!! You are just brilliant. Thank you.

[@debraclyde3268]

Revolutionary for me!! THANK YOU!! Hallelujah!

[@mandychavez]

Thanks Alaina! I love the idea of paying off the cc every week! Thanks for always sharing too 💜

[@kayladionyssiou3636]

When you close the planner at the end of each video, it's so satisfying! I have no idea why, but I just love it!

[@ilianakanchovska6508]

Brilliant! Thank you so much! Labelling the markers is just genius

[@MyNicknash]

Thanks for explaining. This is the 1st month that I am using your budget planner💕 still getting used to it!

[@jojojackson9089]

it takes times and no worries u will quit bout 7x b4 really liking it..just keep going..🤦🏾‍♀️😉🙏🏽😆

[@cw7858]

Same for me Nikki! I get stuck on the 2nd week of using the paycheck budget sheet. If you get paid 2x a month, do you use the same income dollar amount for those two weeks?

[@sharonmitchel1377]

@@cw7858 We get paid twice a month too so I’m really not sure how to do this. Bill payments are withdrawn from our account before the first check of the month arrives. While I have the money in the account, I’d love to be able to account for it,

[@zzzxyz6432]

Wow! Thank you! It's so creative and easy to follow! I've been doing something little different for a while and I'm kind of losing my tracking lately. I will definitely try this and hope I'll get back on track! Wish you all the best!

[@Thee_HolyGirl]

This I'd exactly what I do, but on google sheets I use the formulas to prevent myself from having to calculate every time and colours to warn me If I'm over budget

[@kaeemonae.8746]

Another Great Video! Thank You!!

[@michellepowell3067]

[@shancxkai]

This was my first time watching a budgeting video and thinking "oh my .....it's finished? Already?" 😂😂I love that, your nails and voice 🤭Gwaan sis🎉

[@ElizabethSampson]

Thank you, Alaina! This helped me so much! I love the Budget planner!

[@MindYourMoney]

I love tracking our expenses too, it helps me to stay on budget. Great video, I like how you track yours and the balances per category. I need to add that to my process. THANK YOU ☺️

[@ranaplans]

Love the new planner cover😍

[@jerahduran1544]

Thank you so much for your videos ❤ i really love your style in budgeting and i am learning a lot !! ❤❤❤

[@teresadurham8828]

Perfect timing! Love all your content 💖

[@logicalblueberry]

What do you do if you shop for items in different categories at the same store? Do you put all the categories on separate receipts or go through each receipt to add up the items from each category. That would be really tedious which is why I've never kept track of what we're spending. I keep all my receipts with good intentions of adding them all up at the end of the month. It never happens. It's smart and so disciplined of you to do it every day. Thank you for sharing.

[@jojojackson9089]

Goodmorning Luv, Can you please make a post on just your headings of your budget on that one pager..Thank you

[@mrsp5713]

Thank you once again for explaining this in detail. Question: Is The Organized U and TOM Squad in patreon similar forums? And are your resources the same that are available on each platform? Thank you in advance. 💚

[@sharonmitchel1377]

Our checks come in around the 10th and 25th. Do I budget using calendar month or by paycheck?

[@mzimsosupadope]

Hi Alaina, I'm still looking for my budget planner for this year. Does your download version fit I to thr happy planner?

[@acorn297]

How did you break down your categories? I have like 40 or 50 different categories and I don't know how to minimize them...

[@msroyalplanner]

Since I've been reconciling daily, I've seen where my money goes and stay on target.

[@delorespeoples8655]

If I purchased your budgeting book download, could I size it to an A5 ? that is what I am currently using

[@delorespeoples8655]

Thank you for the Heart, but you still did not answer my question

[@eagercrafter_9014]

I love this idea, but so much work when my husband is bad at keeping track.

[@BillieB.]

Lmao I know the feeling

[@vtorr433]

Maybe I missed it in the video but what exactly are sinking funds?

[@vzimmer1951]

I am having trouble keeping up with my expense tracker.

[@katebaker8763]

question .. fixed expenses vs variable expenses utilities are a different amount each month wouldn’t that be variable?

[@alexreith4877]

I use a similar budgeting method and the way I think about it is that the bills are "fixed" in that they are not optional and are nonnegotiable. I actually use the word discretionary instead of variable because it really emphasizes that money spent in those categories is an ongoing decision process. I can't really change phone carriers every month, but I can choose a different way of spending on food for instance.

[@michaelwoods3850]

This is old skool

[@lindamcquade6399]

I need one on one help

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

My books are going to open back up in a week or two
