Plan With Me | 2025 Goals

[@sharonostrowsky37]

Thanks for being vulnerable by doing your assessment on camera to share with us. This is my 1st year doing the MakseLife goal setting system. Seeing how deep a lot of people have gotten w their assessment, values, WOTY, mind maps, quarterly & annual companions, and the use of AI has been both inspiring & overwhelming. I appreciated you being intentional & thoughtful about your goals without diving deep for days/weeks into all the available tools.

Thank you for sharing! It's the 9th and I'm just getting my goals across the finish line. Life happens. It's never too late.

Thank you for sharing your thought process and goals. It is extremely helpful. I’m retired and have a hard time setting new goals. Though our needs are very different, you still managed to inspire me for this year. Thank you. Love following your channel. Best of luck to you and James for your next chapter.

I'm sure you guys have a plan already but when my now husband and I first moved into our house, we set up a joint account that was our "bills account". Then we sat down, figured out our joint bills (electric, water, mortgage, steaming services, etc) and our individual bills (credit cards, student loans, cars, etc) and totaled that amount per month. That way we knew how much each of us needed to contribute to the bills account each month. And all our bills are paid exclusively through that account (we actually still do it this way). And once a quarter or so we sit down and make sure it's still accurate.

@@paperbacksandplanners that’s a great idea, thank you!

I REALLY need to set up my goals pages but I am stuck because my brain automatically tries to timeblock, so if I can't set annual/quarterly/monthly/weekly/daily my mind doesn't let me start the spread. Plus I am like "will this fit on this sticker?" I think your set up is helping me go out of this mindset (and maybe list all the action somewhere else/directly in my planner?) but I also want to put a box for review and notes . Just wanted to say that your beginning of the year budget and goal planning videos are the ones that inspire me and I look for the most every year!

It's going to be a big year!

[@shawnaripari]

i've been waiting for this video!

[@planwithilysse]

Yay!

[@queenbeekathy]

You are so so sweet. Your heart is so kind.

[@planwithilysse]

Aw that's so sweet of you to say!

[@michelecase7192]

I'm still working on my goals. This is a really good video to help me use some of my sticker stash.😂

[@nancysmith1195]

love it

[@shaunathornton8032]

Goal setting season! I had 2 relatives get engaged over the Holidays and so everything is now Before June and After June.

[@planwithilysse]

That's a great way to think about it!

[@stephanieblake4618]

This is amazing!!

[@rundmc2514]

I thought I made up Finance Friday 😂 jk it makes total sense I’m not the only one

[@romoplans]

For the sleep, have you done a sleep study? I was having some issues sleeping and it helped me (as long as I follow through with actually doing what I need to do lol). It is a bit of an expense but worth it to me.

Always so interesting and instructive to watch your goals videos! On the topic of community service, I could see your budgeting expertise being lapped up by organizations helping kids aging out of foster care or transitional housing places. For example, my favorite here in Tulsa, OK is Lindsey House, but I’m sure there are lots of alternatives near you. You may want to do something totally unrelated to your Plan With Ilysse stuff you do all the time, but if you might want to stay ina similar lane, I wanted o raise your awareness on these types of opportunities. Love your channel!

That's a great idea, thank you! I taught a Girl Scouts class last year on budgeting and really loved it. I'll be able to focus more on that category again soon! Thanks for watching!
