I completely agree that even though you’re paying debt you can still budget for holidays and luxury expenses. However if I had that much debt I wouldn’t be going on a £10,000 trip. I’d be going on a £2/3000 trip.

[@AnonymousAnonymous-yw4si]

@@circejanuary I agree with you that that is a lot of money but if someone has a goal and that’s what they love to do and they’re going to want to pay cash for it then there should be no issue that their mindset can change on how their life is and it isn’t always going to be running back to debt. 👌💯

[@Amanda-hq9of]

my husband and i have “allowances” as well and i think having money individually that you don’t have to justify or explain is important to keep the fight out of money. but we also have groceries, gas, eating out, pet etc. it’s gotta come from somewhere!

[@Pointschaser1]

I normally agree with everything you say, but it seems counterproductive to be saving for Greece instead of paying 25% interest on a credit card payment. Trips are cool, but they can not afford the trip, especially when it’s almost 25% of their yearly take home income. Maybe do a smaller trip instead since like you said life is short. I think they’d be most motivated to save for the trip and work overtime if they pay off cc’s then save for the trip.

[@NoraGeeGee]

I agree especially with pandemic global crises. I love travel but is not a priority right now. I had already met my travel goal for the year but will use for anything else in a heart beat if needed.

[@Marb6]

Everyone has their own priorities in life and not everyone wants to be gazelle intense with paying off debt. I don't think saving for that trip is burdensome. They have a whole year to save $7k which comes out to $582/month. With bonuses and over time they have enough room in the budget for it. I think as long as they're not going further into debt they should do it.

[@MMyers-mh4jq]

As of right now US citizens can’t get into Europe.. so they’ve got time

[@Pointschaser1]

Maria Miranda I hear what you are saying! I just think if they concentrate and pay off that first cc think of all that interest they’d save plus the extra payment money. They already have 3k saved and they can use that money and get one of the cc paid off in a month or 2! Then one less payment plus it would save them hundreds in interest! I hate paying interest if I don’t have to! 🤣

[@kittjohnson5548]

@@Pointschaser1 She also said if they follow the budget they will have enough money for their trip and pay off the 2 hightest CC before they leave.

[@JustineCarissa]

I remember living in Nebraska and it is possible to pay that much for groceries. Nebraska is an agriculture state. Glad to see someone from my state!

[@brinnyxcore]

I have a question. The reader mentioned that they saved for the wedding and honeymoon and were able to pay for those in cash but ended up racking up $5k in debt on their honeymoon. I'm assuming that means they did not save enough/account for expenses while on the trip. Is that $10k for Greece going to cover those variable expenses while she's there? If not, she may want to save a little extra, which seems totally doable, before going to avoid adding more debt. Thoughts?

[@SunshineSM877]

Wow this was so clear and easy to understand. When their combined paycheck and their monthly expenses were shown at First, it was overwhelming... But then when you budgeted every category paycheck to paycheck, it felt so much easier. This made me think that maybe most of the time, not knowing how to budget is what makes us actually get into more debt.

[@jchansen222]

Wow Kumiko! The video was awesome.. Thank you for answering all of my questions and helping me make sense of all my numbers!!!

[@mollproff27]

Jasmine Hansen curious how you pay for things such as gas, household supplies, etc.? Does it all come out of your allowance?

[@jchansen222]

Yes Matt uses his spending money for gas and household supplies. I use mine for our cats and going out. We also get a Costco haul from my in laws as part of Christmas with paper, cleaning, and hygiene items and it carries us for most of the year.

[@jchansen222]

@@sid2045 no sorry I don't have a KZbin channel 🤔 I just check my fridge and use anything that might expire to plan next week's meals around that. I only buy what I need to get through the week and do grocery pickup. If I'm under my $40 budget I check sales for staple items like canned food, butter, or flour. If I'm over $40 I cut out things and change one of meals to something simpler. I never let food waste so if I make a big batch of something we portion and freeze the leftovers!

[@FauxPunkkFatigue]

this was so satisfying 😍 i also appreciate that kumiko doesn’t judge or question their choices, she makes it work based on their WHY. we might not understand their choices but we don’t have to. you’re the best kumiko! 🫶🏼

[@juliesummerfield9784]

I am always surprised at how few sinking funds there are. No auto maintenance (saving for tires and oil changes), no clothing budget item for one of the budgets with 6 kids, no savings for medical/dental, nothing for realistic misc expenses. I know these are just snapshots of different budgets, but I think not saving at least something for realistic true expenses will make the budgeters feel like failures or still going into debt. Obviously this awesome budgeting process will hopefully bring that needed awareness but I wish it were mentioned more that there might be gaps.

[@ezmath1236]

Based on the numbers, they can knockout the debts first then save for the Trip. Great video! 😘

[@veronikaaudet3339]

I agree! They can get motivated to make more money to pay for the trip and pay for the debt!!

[@christinaciu]

I agree. Why would they pay high interest credit cards while just stashing money for vacation. They actually can pay off credit cards first and save for Greece, all before next July. Miko first said don’t budget the bonus & overtime , but then said they can use all the extras to pay off debt. I think it should be the reverse. Their housing & food are so low that they should throw everything to credit cards. They’ll be motivated to work overtime or get bonus to use for travels.

[@sonyascreationsalifestylec1739]

I am hard core...I would have told them that they have no business planning a big trip until they at the very least pay off honeymoon

[@happybudgeter]

I tend to agree. I know personal finance is personal, but a huge expensive trip with credit card debt with high interest seems detrimental to their financial health.

[@chelseaalmost_]

Definitely agree, I was shocked they were planning an extravagant trip before being closer to being debt free. I'm not saying you can't take trips while paying off debt, but debt should be the priority, so your travel savings monthly should not be more than your debt repayment imo

[@brittneyjones3037]

True!

[@patsycathcart1]

I love you and your ability to look at the big picture while planning finances that don’t “fit” into prescribed patterns. Life is short and must be enjoyed. A person who can meet a savings goal for a vacation will be incentivized to save for paying down debt. Great advise. Keep em coming!

[@Olivia-bt9hs]

I agree with you that life is short. Especially since this couple isn't in massive CC debt and they seem so have control of their spending. Now if someone was $40,000 in CC debt and had student loans, I do think that paying debt should be a priority. However I definitely think an emergency fund of at least 3 months should be saved first before a large international vacation. But to be honest, at this rate with COVID, I think this couple is going to have some extra time to save for the Greece trip!

[@pollydolly9723]

This was really helpful, thank you. And thank you to the reader who submitted it. It is so nice to see a couple working together!

[@tspacefullstop4161]

I am so grateful that you re-iterate that point of what matters to you. I have been saving for Christmas and a trip away with my son and I keep thinking ..what about the car you want or saving for other things. Doubt and struggle does not equal joy. Coming from bankruptcy ...I didn't want the harshness of that experience to follow me through my financial journey. I can say after only starting with the TBM method in January...its best decision I've ever made and I cannot wait to go away with my son ..feeling confident that I saved for this moment.

[@MelissaGGGG]

This is my fave segment of Budget Mom! very informative :)

[@nitaprice5332]

This was a very good video. I believe the same “life is short”...if we spend all our time and resources on trying to repair our past, we will miss out on a lot of laughs with family and friends. I like your approach on assigning every dollar a name. It is so easy to spend money that is not going to a purpose. Thank you Miko.

[@annevanacker4044]

I don't necessarily have a problem with saving for a goal while paying off debt (those of us with mortgages do that all the time). However, they don't have nearly enough in their Emergency Fund-2000?! That doesn't even cover one month of expenses! It's not even enough to cover a major home repair, should they need one. They should have that built up to 6-8 months before saving for a trip. And what about retirement savings? Those weren't mentioned at all. Bottom line is that they truly cannot afford this trip-I totally understand about life being short and having great family memories. But with the basic financial security elements for their future missing, I feel that this budget is irresponsible.

[@yojs17_]

I agree, they need more savings. But Miko says, save whatever helps you sleep at night. So if they can sleep with $2000 emergency and then spend $10,000 on a vacation, then that works for them.

[@crystalgale15]

I guess this is where individuality and priority comes in. Every person is different. There are people who even feels okay and happy with just $1000 until they paid off all their debt. And i think since they don't have kids, this couple don't have the urge to save up that much. We will never know. 😊

[@joannwagner4940]

If they do what Miko recommends in only 1 year time their credit card debt is gone and they will have 13K saved. They have 2K plus 3K already and are budgeting $100 a month $1.5K going into savings then debt.. That doesn't touch their bonus and overtime money.. If they want to go on vacation next year being basically debt free and money in the bank I think that is very responsible.

[@annevanacker4044]

@@joannwagner4940 assuming that over 1 year everything goes perfectly- no job loss (a potential issue during the pandemic), neither of them gets seriously ill and can't work, and they incur no major expenses due to accidents or other causes. They are missing out on years of compounding on retirement savings to go on a vacation. So, no, I don't think that's responsible because with this plan, they have a nice monthly budget, but they are focused too much on living in the moment while ignoring the future. Just my opinion, I am pretty conservative when it comes to personal finance.

[@brinnyxcore]

We have to remember we are only seeing the surface. In my paycheck budget, I don't show any retirement. That's because it is automatically taken out by my employer so it's technically not part of my income. That could easily be the case with this couple as I feel like it may be the case with many? I guess I could be wrong.

[@califlorican]

I guess my question for them would be- does the trip need to cost $10,000? They could go for fewer days or lower their daily spending while there. Or stay at a cheaper hotel/accommodation. $10,000 seems like a ton for just one trip...assuming it’s a few weeks and not 1+ month long trip.

[@livelaughandbudget]

I love these real budget videos! It's so nice seeing different budgets and what people should do in their unique situations.

[@TJ-fi7cb]

Great video! But, $10,000 for a trip to Greece? That seems a little high. I went to Rome about a year and a half ago for $1,300 (included hotel and airfare) for 7 days. Yes, spending money was separate, but the total was nowhere close to 10K.

[@jenr4573]

[@maureenpluthero8543]

They should hold off on the trip and pay off the debt first.

[@AnonymousAnonymous-yw4si]

I have seen almost everybody has been talking just about a trip and people are entitled with their own choices in life to do whatever makes him happy nobody else should dictate or judge someone else’s life if their life is not 100% perfect so you have no room to tell someone to do something if you have an already done it yourself

[@natasha1997]

I couldn't imagine putting 10k to a trip instead of debt. What if 2019 happened to them all over again? They need a bigger emergency fund and to pay debt harder imo because THEY ALREADY had emergency expenses that came up putting them 20k further in the hole 🙃

[@crystalgale15]

I have been following your method for a year now but this video explained to me why it is important to do it every single paycheck because we get paid biweekly as well. I tended to do my budgeting monthly since all our expenses is split between me and my hubby anyway. Maybe that's why i can't get ahead on our bills anymore after i stumbled in the last couple months due to covid. Thank you for this video! 😊

[@rebeccaprice4851]

I’m still trying to figure out why not budget weekly if they get paid weekly. That’s what I’m currently doing and am trying to understand if I need to change it.

"Life is too short" i swear Miko i come here for fun and learning and i get a heart to heart.

[@nancynewman6592]

I see that nothing is planned for health care or a dentist. Also is their 1 time haul of protein, and their big garden coming out of the food budget? And when laid off work, a 1 month emergency savings does not really take care of much. I don't see a car repair or maintenance fund. As well, in my case, I might feel nervous about the debt vs Greece savings, and would feel better using this very budget, but in a different order. Pay of fthe planned amount for the debt first, then start the savings for Greece. Same money but different order so that the fun challenge is Greece, after the already acknowledged dreary saving for debt. Love seeing these videos as it triggers questions for my own layout, and things I may have left out for myself :)

[@annevanacker4044]

Americans do have the expenses you mention, and I agree with you - true expenses that come along at irregular intervals are completely missing from this budget. Where is the savings for insurance and taxes? What if they need a new roof, or a new furnace? And with the current pandemic, I hope their jobs are secure - because that is not the case for many Americans. We have not even scratched the surface of the economic fallout from the pandemic. Given their lack of savings and the current economic environment, it looks to me like they are skating on thin ice and hoping everything is going to be ok. Just my opinion- as mentioned above, if it works for them, and they can sleep soundly at night, then good for them!
