How to Beat Budget Burnout! COLLAB -$16,458

[@OneUnifiedHome]

Finding cheap or free ways to stay busy during a tight budget is a great tip! Then you won't feel so deprived. Great tip! 💜

[@elizabethsmith7558]

I really like the idea of a debt-free-reward trip.

[@ouvickie]

I pretend my Library card is a credit card and I "shop" at the Library for books and audiobooks. I listen to the audiobooks during my work commute, which keeps me from hearing ads and chatter on the radio. I love it, so I totally agree with you. We find free things to do around town. I've done this since my daughter was little.

[@ramonaearnest4709]

Yes! I was a divorced mom with 3 kids and everything that goes along with it so I learned to get creative and found out that there are many free things to see and do in Missouri! Museums, zoo, Muny, parks and Library! I used coupons and Groupons! Once you start doing things for free it's very satisfying and you look forward to it! When I have a little extra money I stock up on necessities and shop at the clearance rack or Goodwill. I was determined to live and enjoy my life. Instead of focusing on what I don't have I decided to figured out how to get what I wanted or needed by doing side hustles like cleaning houses. Where there's a will there's a way!!

[@lilio6442]

Agree, you are glowing!

[@spangiepie2219]

I love that you always have your remaining balance in the title. It is very cool to watch your progress. I love these tips too!! :)

[@jms9237]

Excellent video!!!!! Thank you BG!!

[@brittg.3033]

I love the reward system idea! Thanks for these great tips BG! 😊

[@OurFamilyHomeLife]

I really love the decluttering tip, it is so true! Great collab!

[@Kindlelover88]

I knew most of these tips but thank you for the reminder. You look excellent in yellow and should wear it more often great job.

[@ashleymcdaniel6188]

Loved this!!!

[@anitaroberts5980]

Best video to date! I will revisit this one often. Fantastic tips. Thank you, Sarah! I am feeling pretty motivated this week as I passed a debt reduction threshhold. So far I have paid off $15k of my debt in the last 15 months. Still a long way to go but if all goes according to plan I will be debt free except for the mortgage by mid 2018. When I started this journey I felt overwhelmed by the debt. Your very useful tips and advice have helped me so much to stay focused and see that it is doable and actually enjoy the journey! You are a blessing.

[@trinadoreen2899]

Great video Sarah loved all the tips! It is hard to stay on budget and not feel the burnout. Your videos help a ton!

[@Puff1129]

Very articulate and relatable. Thank you for your inspiration Sarah.

[@JacieJonesDillon]

Thank you for creating this collab. I'm a single mom with $30,000.00 in debt. My job hasn't been giving me much hours lately so I don't know how to pay those bills. Its just been stressful.

[@elizabethsmith7558]

"Get your house in order." Love it!

[@derek6004]

[@shortykel27]

I have been following you for over a year.....you are so inspiring to me and though I am soooo very new to technology(I could be your mama) you are my inspiration to try new things!!!! Love your hauls and recipes, etc?...

[@LifeWithSarah123]

Hey girl! Just wanted to thank you again for letting me be apart of this collab and for letting me know my video was only half up! It's finally up and working!....I think!! lol Thanks again!

[@BudgetGirl]

+Life With Sarah It's good now! I watched it all the way through! :-)

[@TheMindfulMillennial12]

Perfect video! I started a cash only diet for the month of May and this video was EXACTLY what I needed! Keep doing exactly what you do and inspiring us to save for better tomorrow! Will be posting weekly update videos to keep on track and just followed your advice and set a reward! Cheers to great upcoming summer! Take care!

[@amber4design]

I am rewatching this video because, ever since I paid off my debt in June, I got fairly far away from my budget lol. I need to get back to it. I didn't go crazy b/c I was frugal for sooooooo long, but there were a few things that I wanted to update in my apartment. To meet my new goal of saving 6 months of living expenses, I need to start budgeting again!

[@BudgetGirl]

It's totally okay to take a break and buy a few things to celebrate your new life! So glad you're getting back to it though, BS3 will add peace of mind and just make life even better :-)

[@papermoon79]

Oh wow I needed this video. I've been feeling the burnout lately.

[@cfoster4389]

This video is right on time for me. Thank you!

[@MarriageMotherhood]

What a great reward system! Awesome Collab!

[@MsEeem3]

Perfect timing, thank you

[@DebtFreeHopeful]

Awesome collab, Love having more KZbinrs to binge watch.

[@erikaramirez6558]

Lol funny vid & perfect timing as I begrudgingly just did my May Budget!! And I'm only 5 months in & last month was a bust so I was totally burnt out!! Thanks so much, I appreciate it & you!!

[@TheAccessoryGirl]

Excellent tips Sarah! Great topic too, tfs!! :)

[@susanwoywood6334]

Great tips!! Yellow is such a good color on you.

[@tbofamily8509]

First of all, you look beautiful in this video :) secondly, wonderful tips! I love the idea of distracting yourself via cheap activities.

[@BudgetGirl]

+GazelleInTents Aww thanks :-)

[@FindingAloha]

+GazelleInTents agreed! That yellow shirt is very flattering! XO

[@kimberlybrooks7436]

Yellow is your color.... Looking good.. Working the BUDGET here....

[@cdogvlog5557]

Hi Budget girl.. My latest problem - the death of my lawnmower. I just purchased a used electric lawnmower online from someone which cost me 40 dollars but more than half the price of buying a new one, which means that I will have money left in the budget to buy the other things I need this week and still be able to hang onto my bonus money :) I should probably explain that the lawnmower I got is probably too small for my yard but I can make do with it for a bit :)

[@MsAnna4040]

Yeah! Another Budget Girl video!! Love you!

[@lindawilson290]

Wonderful video, BG. I'm so looking forward to watching the others! :-)

[@TheBealles]

There is so much great stuff here!! I need to make a reward system like yours. When I feel the need to do something, I like to visit public gardens. Being in nature makes me feel more contented :) Great collab idea. I may have to make a video and take part :)

[@TheBealles]

+The Fundamental Home I went ahead and made a video :) Mine is specifically about how to beat grocery budget burnout. I would love to hear your thoughts!

[@MarinaLKitchen]

Great video! Thank you so much for the great advice!

[@mysummertouch]

so many great ideas! having a second job not to spend money and to earn money is a double win!

[@felicityhappy919]

These were great tips. They really helped a lot!

[@susanvelez6534]

Thank you sooooo very much

[@GiselleBaker]

Great info !! I took notes 😄 trying to do and commit to a budget!

[@brittanystrausbaugh6007]

Sara you should do a video on you Eshakti dresses!

[@shannonjohnson4314]

She has the best tips I have heard thus far! Looking for ways to pay off student loan debt and this video is very motivating!

[@iowamama2313]

My favorite video of yours. You are educational with an edge & keep it real! 👍

[@Rebecca_Renae]

this video is great! My boyfriend is the most frugal person I know, so he makes it easy to not want to spend money!

[@g.s.6477]

Cool topic, BG!

[@nsfpie]

This is off topic of your vlog, but I just saw a pic of you in IG. Looks like you did a color run maybe? Anyway, I commented on IG but had to come here and say again how healthy, fit, happy, and pretty you look! Keep up the great work! And, your budget burn out tips are great.

[@BellaCinco]

Love this video. So helpful!!!

[@GinaLaughed]

Hi Budget Girl! I just wanted to say you look very pretty in this video! That color really suits you!

[@1207susant]

Wow! The disappearing Budget Girl!

[@belenc.2924]

Hi BG I just wanted to thank u for the advise and say yellow looks nice on you it makes ur blue eyes Pop :)

[@rosarioescobar8255]

👌🏽

[@Sparky_In_Oregon]

How's about learning to knit and MAKE the mustard shawl!!

[@jenthompson8372]

great video BG! Im definitely feeling the budget burnout after doing this since January last year. Yellow looks beautiful on you by the way :)

[@Myfrugallife]

I want to be in the collab too. I will make a video soon.

[@beyoncepaez5163]

Hey BudgetGirl, love your videos I enjoy binge watching them while I do my budget. My question is regarding capital one 360 how long does it take for transactions from your regular bank and capital one account to be successful and does capital one 360 provide a debit card or it strictly online only transition. Thank you and keep knocking out debt. 🏆

[@jessicaashley8907]

Yea, golf is the worst hobby ever!! lol. So true about using stuff around your house for organizing. I've always wanted to go to the Container Store just because I've never been but thankfully we always end up finding something at home and don't end up spending money. You look very pretty in this video!

[@BudgetGirl]

+Jessica Ashley I hope you don't think I was picking on your hubby.. I know that's his one thing and that he does things to save money on golf, but it was the first thing I thought of when considering expensive hobbies :-) Of course now you're debt free, which means he can golf all he wants right? Or so he thinks? ;-)

[@jessicaashley8907]

No it's true, people should not pick up that hobby when trying to get out of debt!

[@elizabethdacosta1182]

what is the average interest rate on student loans in the united states?

[@freedominabudget]

Hey BG! I'd loooove to join in this collab!!

[@BudgetGirl]

+Freedom In A Budget Please do! I'd love to hear your tips. :-)

[@freedominabudget]

+Budget Girl Video is up!! :)

[@angelray6013]

Very pretty today BG.

[@jenniferdavis2110]

Omg I'm so glad that I ran across your channel and I so admire you Sarah ( idk if you misspelled your name!) nonetheless I cannot wait to be sent free...i'm slowly cleaning my debt and living on a budget...and it takes discipline...i think that I have to give up mani/ pedi again because the nail tech do a good job 1st, 2nd, 3rd visits and then they tend to be lazy! And I tip well like $20.. and have it done every 2 weeks but idk I can save between $80 to a $100 a month.. but anyways you're an inspirational. TY 💜

[@BudgetGirl]

Welcome Jennifer! And you got it right, Sarah. :-) I'd definitely consider cutting out pedis and manis while getting out of debt. It's easy enough to do them at home and then you can use a salon visit as a treat when you hit your milestones or maybe just a quarterly touch up. Once you're out of debt, get your booty back to that salon if it makes you happy! but I promise the short term sacrifice is worth it!

[@rufast69]

what happened to financial friday. AND APRIL PO BOX :)

[@BudgetGirl]

+Jenovese-taxmom Finance Friday is now Money Monday! It transitioned about a month ago, but is still going up weekly! April P.O. box will go up soon! :-) Thanks for watching.

[@sladhospitality]

[@alonsocaro]

[@monicasmith1522]
