🎉 🙌🏾for the grocery budget win!

[@laurensmoneymindset]

Woohoo!! 🎉

[@KatieoftheHouse]

Awesome job on the grocery budget! The sinking fund for your utilities sounds like a good idea 😊

[@laurensmoneymindset]

Thank you! Yeah I’m thinking I might switch it

[@julianamartinez9737]

have you tried shopping at aldi or walmart for groceries? might be fun to do a series about trying different stores and comparing prices!

[@chellybaby]

Walmart is unsafe to shop for meats

[@cintianinh1736]

The grocery budget is going better. You were right to give it a try and change your habits. I was wondering, do you still invest in a 401K? If so you pay yourself first is higher no?

I wish I knew how to decorate. Great job!

[@laurensmoneymindset]

It’s taken years of buying things I ended up hating in order to find my style! Lol

My daughter lives in Dedham, MA and her house was ridiculously expensive for what she got. I totally understand when you say MA is a high cost of living state.

Do you track in your annual financial goal tracking sheet to show a negative amount out of your savings when you remove some of the cash?

[@laurensmoneymindset]

No that’s not tracked on my annual financial goal tracking. I track the balance of all my assets and debts on a separate net worth sepreadsheet. You can get it for free here: moneyandmindset.myflodesk.com/ networthtracker

[@kloveskiwi]

@@laurensmoneymindset ok, I have both sheets 😊 I wondered because when we take money from our savings, I wondered if we should report that as a negative balance so when we later add more it doesn’t indicate we’ve made a gain 🤔
