[@layeredluxepapercraft5105]

Oh my daze this is incredible whooooooooooooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m so so so happy for you that I completely forgot about the competition guess lol hahaha I was cheering so loud that the neighbours were probably asking questions lol. This is so awesome and so inspiring!!!!!! It should serve as a “financial light” so to speak to show you even in hard times and even when you feel like giving up. Don’t! Remember why you’re doing this and what you want to achieve. If it helps for next magic box next year and maybe even now for the challenges you want to turn to next, if you have canva for example you can make digital vision boards, print and laminate. Then put star stickers when you’ve saved enough for each area of that specific vision board. Same with your different targets or binders, you can make a different one with different colours and decorate with you ever growing awesome collection of lush stickers to keep it fresh and re inspire you. Add in lots of prayers for each and start each stage. You could do top down for more expensive targets for example if there’s a time deadline or like you’ve been doing with your challenges do more smaller ones to get to a bigger target. No pressure, keep it light, achievable and fun. I noticed how well you do with smaller, colourful, and even colouring in challenges and maybe with a physical reminder in the form of these mini vision boards you will have that extra boost to your motivation. My friend is basically a beginner beginner and she is so impressed with what you’ve achieved that it’s inspired her to do something similar. She has a longer road than many because of what she’s been through, but seeing you do it with smaller amounts made it something achievable for her. Just like it has for all of us. Thank you for including us on your journey and inspiring a financial light inside us to be more responsible with a few treats along the way lol xoxo ❤❤❤ Edited to add more than half of my street were cheering for you yesterday as you crossed the £10k mark and it’s awesome how you’ve been able to inspire so many of us here xoxo

[@GillianBudgets20203]

Hi I was just watching your videos from the beginning, am trying to save but can’t decide how many binders I need!

[@GillianBudgets20203]

Hi Patricia.. I started off with two binders.. One for my sinking funds and another for challenges.. As you continue to budget your binders grow.. Some people then separate into high and low priority.. Occasions binders.. Etc.. But those are categories you decide according to your budget and what suits you best. I'm the worst person to talk to you about binders as I have over 50😂..but that's simply cause I have loads of annual challenges.. And they all have their own binder.. But start small. Probably about 3/4..so that you don't overwhelm yourself. Hope this helps 😊

[@Hotmessbudgets]

I understand what you are saying about the fully funded, Like if its fully funded and I don't have to pay it until 2 months for now, I will still add at least $5 to start adding for the next next time is due. lol Great cash stuffing friend ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥
