Thank you, defs something to be proud of. Yes agreed, it’s definitely new for me. I’ve been tracking religiously for a while so should be a fun test. Hope you have a great start to May!! 💕

I can’t believe it’s time for the May reset already! Your hair looks so good btw Gabby! And no worries about the mid month check in :) Have an amazing May!!
@GabbyPeterson174 ай бұрын
I know!! Where did the time go. My late April mid-month check in made me feel like I blinked and it was May! Thank you! I tried a new look 💁🏻♀️ And I appreciate the understanding around no mid-month! 🙏🏽 hope you have a fantastic May as well!

Great video Gabby! I loved the clip of your kitty in the intro - he's so cute! 💕 It's really nice that you budget a donation each month. 😊 It's very inspiring!

Aw thank you!! Isn’t he the cutest? I’m obsessed with him 😅 yeah, it was a goal of mine this year to donate more especially after looking at how little I did last year! Thanks for your comment 💕

Hi! I love your videos :) I had a quick question. I donate because it is a religious thing (or set up easily by my church), but I was wondering what got you into donating? Every finance youtuber I watch does not donate. I think it is awesome to donate regularly!
@GabbyPeterson17Ай бұрын
Hi Alice! Thank you!! Great question! I actually started donating more often in 2024, before that I would try to do it whenever a good cause came up that inspired me to help. But at the end of 2023 when I reviewed the percent I donated compared to spent on frivolous stuff I felt I could definately donate more. So I started making it a monthly budget item and have been trying to keep up with it every month ever since :)

Hey! Just discovered your channel. Have only watched 4 mins of your video so far but I’ve already decided that your channel is great! 😊 My husband and I are saving for our first home, so I definitely need this advice. Thanks! Have a wonderful day! Alice (from Wellington, New Zealand 🇳🇿)

What job do you have that pays 13k a month? 😮
@GabbyPeterson174 ай бұрын
Hi Christine! I don’t make $13k a month, I wish!! Most of my income this month was from my tax return 😁 I usually make between $5k-$6k between my engineering job and my side hustles
@zo_4714 ай бұрын
Hmm you income doesn’t match your expenses, savings and cc payment. Are your expenses all paid for with credit? That would explain the discrepancy
@GabbyPeterson174 ай бұрын
Hi!! Yes, I didn’t mention that in this months budget! But correct. I spend on my credit cards to take advantage of points, and my budget is based off last months spending. So this month I was paying off March’s expenses!

hi! been loving your content, so glad to have stumbled upon your videos. i bought your money spreadsheet and am loving it (also a big credit card user). i’m still learning the spreadsheet, but how do you track when you take out of your sinking funds?
@GabbyPeterson174 ай бұрын
Hi Megan!! Thank you so much for your support. I hope you love the spreadsheet! This is something I want to update in the future, so that you can select a sinking fund in the “money in” “money out” drop downs. But for now what I do is I made an income category called “Sinking Funds” and then I count the income in the expense tracker, after that I go to the sinking funds and subtract off the income amount from the “Balance in Account” column. You can do this by clicking into the formula, add a - and then go to the month sheet you need and select the cell that the income $ amount is in. It will automatically add it to the formula. Note that it will prompt you with a warning when you edit the cell, you just have to say okay!

Silly question but are these percentages based on gross or take home ?
@GabbyPeterson173 ай бұрын
No not a silly question!! These are based on take home pay, I always budget based on what actually hits my account. My Etsy income however is gross and I will need to pay tax on it later
@ArdillaINC3 ай бұрын
@@GabbyPeterson17 Thank you for your response! This is super impressive even with the tax return offset this month. Would 401k investments be included here then? Asking since usually that is never given on the take home pay portion since it;s taken out before you get your check. Love your channel btw
@GabbyPeterson173 ай бұрын
@@ArdillaINC hi! Sorry for the late reply. And thank you, I try to invest as much as I can. I don’t have any 401k match at work so I get paid my full salary minus taxes obviously and it is my responsibility to invest for my retirement. So all of my investments are shown in my monthly budgets 🫶🏼😊

Hi this is probably a super dumb question but is this all in CAD?
@GabbyPeterson174 ай бұрын
No worries at all! It is all in CAD. Even when I buy something in USD or some other currency I will add it into my budget based on what I’m charged in CAD on my card.
