Honestly this is keeping me accountable so THANK YOU always want to dive into my finances monthly and never know where to start

[@NatalieBarbu]

Yay I love doing these!! I wanted to continue to improve them!!

[@all.ways.active]

Budgeting is soo key! Keeping track of my finances not only helps me to make better decisions but also gives me peace of mind when it comes to spending and saving😊

[@NatalieBarbu]

MHM!!

[@tabtalksbooks]

This was the first type of video about budgeting I watched and it was actually really helpful and going to make me sit down and budget my expenses. Thanks for the template too!

[@mads5090]

Please never stop doing these!! I downloaded your budget template and have been working on tracking!

[@aaliyahhhbeyy]

I LOVE these videos! Thank you for your honesty, it makes it easier for me to take accountability for my spending

[@NatalieBarbu]

I’m so glad!!

[@rosietorres068]

I love this type of videos I always look forward to seeing them. Please continue this.

[@budgetwithpeejay]

Sticking to a budget has been a really important part of my life and it’s such a stress reliever!!! I love that you said it’s a form of Self Care!!! Since I started budgeting I’ve paid off 2 credit cards. I budget $100 a month for eating out. I usually go over budget 😂😂 but I’m trying to stay within budget! I started making budget videos to hold myself accountable! The budget community on KZbin is amazing!!! Great video Natalie!! 🥰🤩🥳

[@NatalieBarbu]

It is the best form of self care!!

[@AlisonsSpot]

I love your money related content, Natalie!

[@RosaDaniello]

Omg it's already been a month since your last budgeting video??? I'm glad you keep doing it 🥺 Now that I've become more used to your budgeting system I find I can enjoy your video more! it's like I know what you're talking about in terms of expenses and way to cut some. I'm having a big life change next month so I'll be starting using your spreadsheet and feel like we're holding ourselves accountable 🥺💖 Thanks again for feeling comfortable enough to make this video! 🥰 Good luck for the next month! You can do it 💪

[@poppycalliope]

I love your budget videos 🔥 also you're so close to 300k so happy for you 💓

[@NatalieBarbu]

Ah thank you!!

[@OhSnapItsMaddyB]

Thank you for doing these videos Natalie!

[@cucumberbreezee]

I love this series! ❤️

[@VeggiesbyEos]

Girl I get anxious for spending $8 on Chipotle 😂

[@elisekapii8432]

Natalie, you’re such a life saver! You make me want to budget and save. Thanks for being inspiring🤍

[@ipsitarao5932]

Do you mind sharing what coffee machine you bought? I've been looking to splurge on a nice one!

[@mvstormyoneadventures]

This is very inspiring. I have a hard time sticking to it but I know is is so usual

[@athenaabarnes]

Enjoyed the business aspect of this 👌🏾 Thanks for sharing!

[@jbdjbd8922]

Amazing transparency Natalie

[@ingridasprilla7302]

I LOVE this type of videos

[@TheIlovemusic23]

I love watching budget videos!

[@beattysisters2676]

Love this video. Will share more details about the house flip? Do you have videos about the process, budget, pros and cons of your first house flip

[@NatalieBarbu]

yup! that will be coming soon :) I need to get the tour up and then plan for the budgeting videos.

[@kristinhiser2222]

I challenge you to a $0 on clothes month!! No judgement - it's a real challenge but all in good fun.

[@NatalieBarbu]

I’m down to take this challenge! I’ll do it next month or this month!

[@melissadiaz111]

Before I starting budgeting, I spent $500 a month eating out and $200 on groceries. Now, I spend about $250 eating out (for two people) and $500 on groceries (for two people). I feel good knowing that we eat almost every meal from fresh, healthy foods we cooked and a casual dinner out once a week or one nicer dinner out every couple weeks.

[@hh-qy8zt]

yes!! good !! never skimp on healthy foood

[@12245Fred]

can you do a what i spend in a week in miami video

[@user-hn5il9zn4c]

we stan a queen with sideburn hair

[@Queenitemare]

Hi Natalie love your videos, will you make a video next month on how much KZbin paid you or your streams of income because I think videos like that can be made yearly because every year is not the same..thank you and love you

[@michelley1621]

May I ask what company you do your health insurance with as a self employed person? Thank you!

[@hh-qy8zt]

wha's your nail color called

[@victoryefejaria6390]

Good day ma pls do I need an English test to apply for a bsc in Canada

[@balzoemg8415]

Can you make a video about house purchase, Reno cost & profit?

[@itsmejuju1221]

So do you pay for all these things on your credit card then pay the card off at the end of the billing cycle?

[@NatalieBarbu]

Yup! I pay the whole thing in full

[@stephaniegray6712]

Do you do a separate budget before the month starts or just a closeout like this where you see what you spent?

[@NatalieBarbu]

I usually set mental goals for myself rather than writing it out, but I think I’m gonna write it out for next month to see how close I get

[@allthehui]

What are your thoughts on Truebill vs Personal Capital?

[@NatalieBarbu]

I don’t know what personal capital is!

[@LuciaCordaro]

omg budgeting for restaurants/ going out is so hard but normally 300 a month !! and if i go over i spend less on groceries

[@morganveller2114]

Definitely see if you can find cheaper car insurance! My car isn’t even 2 years old yet and I only spend $83 a month with Geico! It’s a full insurance with collision/crash and everything you’d need. I was previously paying $140 with State Farm so it doesn’t hurt to look around!

[@samanthaschafer2519]

Geico quoted me over $800

[@thetravelingwanderer]

My dining out budget is $200-$250. I live in LA,CA so I feel like this is definitely on the low end. It's a struggle LOL

[@erikalawrence8561]

My restaurant budget is $250 (I live in nyc its a struggle)

[@ChloeMadeleinee]

Would love to hear business expenses

[@perfectbeauty5711]

Ironic you need to sign up for subscription to manage your subscriptions:)

[@ItsAmandaWan]

love these budgeting videos, always a fun time to watch!

[@NatalieBarbu]

Thanks for editing them 🙌🏼

[@ItsAmandaWan]

@@NatalieBarbu always!!

[@cocomarineblu993]

I spend about 600 at restaurants mine is also too high.I’m 27, I live in Nashville, I have no mortgage, no kids, and also no car payment. I have about $2300 in personal debt. Car insurance is about $130 and phone paid to my parents is $50. Gym ymca is $50. Subscription costs is $20.

[@NatalieBarbu]

Thank you for sharing!!

[@mihoiimuro]

I usually spend $200 for the restaurant a month. but I live in Japan, so food is usually cheaper and we have no tipping. so if I were in US, I probably spend more than $300. I really want to spend less…

[@leahmcdermott4189]

I guess you can still tip if you want. I’m from the UK and though tipping isn’t necessarily customary here, I still tip 10-15%. Servers aren’t paid a great wage, so if the service is good, I think it’s important ☺️💕

[@davidparnell4675]

Nice

[@zsofianemeth283]

I don't go to restaurants every month😳 if I do it's probably a one time thing. So 1 meal worth of money. But I live in Hungary and I think it's not that common here....

[@hh-qy8zt]

a section in budget for donations/charities

[@adamb8984]

you never included the rent you pay for the Miami apartment

[@tamaraesquivel7663]

new subie ✨🙂

[@kristinhiser2222]

LOL my restaurant budget is $0. I give myself $100 personal money a month and anything I want has to come out of that. Coffee, food, whatever. Of course I go over sometimes but mostly I'm good about it. So I guess $100 but not all of that goes to food technically.

[@gizanglyer5299]

You spend less than $100 on food a month?

[@kristinhiser2222]

@@gizanglyer5299 no, groceries is $200 a month. $100 is my personal spending money I can spend on whatever. I'm almost debt free and back at the beginning of my journey I was doing $100 a month on groceries. It was hard but just something I had to do at the time. Now I budget $200 and rarely spend all of that.

[@leahmcdermott4189]

WOW! $100 is really impressive! Can I ask how on earth you achieve this?? I’m a cheapo and budget pretty well so I spend about $150 a month on groceries (I’m on a small weight loss journey and I don’t really eat much tbh). Like you, I give myself a personal spending allowance and that’s usually $200 (mostly consists of dining out tbh). I find $200 even a challenge to stick to, so how on earth do you do $100?! Seriously interested! Are you just mega frugal? 💕

[@wilmergonzalez1623]

I love you♥️

[@TianyiWei]

Ahhh you should work in financial planning

[@acaciamendoza8040]

Omg i thought your dog’s name was Pepino 🥒 lol It’s Bambino

[@NatalieBarbu]

Omg no but that’s such a good name

[@lydiacole5927]

My restaurant budget is like $150 a month lol

[@Rose-uu6pf]

Tell me you have money and suck at saving without telling me you have money and suck at saving.

[@NatalieBarbu]

Tell me you know nothing about me without telling me you know nothing about me 🙃

[@juliamathews8288]

Uhh you don’t know how much she saves. I bet you it’s a lot, and it’s why she doesn’t mention it. Most people dream to be able to put a ton into savings, so I think she probably wants to keep it private to avoid backlash.

[@maheshwani9880]

Super...👆👆👇👇

[@shepherd6746]

This is not a good video…you didnt disclose how much you spent In a month.. the whole video is just you reacting how much you spent for the month, the video is too long ,too much bubbling, it would help if you put the numbers on video so people can see the breakdown.

[@josbathmarak3415]

Nice
