I love how you advertise your products without pushing them on the viewers. You make it clear that we don’t HAVE to have them to succeed. It’s so respectful of the people that can’t afford them

[@jacindaferguson2409]

I totally agree! She's just honest and understanding that not every person can afford to buy extra things at this point in their budget journey. And that honesty builds trust between her and her viewers and actually makes me trust that her products are worth it!

Love the budgeting tips! I already do so many of these things but love to see a different perspectives! I love that you recommend budgeting in the things at want to do( basically what keeps us motivated in a way) and you’ll never go over budget! We have been tighter on money( only debt is our mortgage) and so I haven’t been giving me and hubby that but I totally just need to make it a priority!

[@curiouskimberly1627]

Budgeting by week and not my the month is my favorite tip! I feel like a month is so overwhelming and it’s so hard to figure out how much we need for a month. Going by a week makes so much sense!

[@ChaoticAeris]

I took your advice for multiple savings accounts a while back. We do auto transfers so we don't even notice the money! Now we have a good size personal savings as well as savings for our children and a few desired large purchases.

[@elisahamilton73]

Multiple accounts is the way to go. Works really well for me.

[@MoAnneMurphy]

Hi, there! I am really wanting to start this up next month. However, I am struggling understanding the "other" account. What would be my husband's responsibility/amount (most everything is auto pay, so he would not have much to spend on beyond personal fun money). How did you split that up and the amount for each person? Thank you in advance!

[@prettylittleinvestor]

Yup I watched that video too and I’ve never had more personal savings in my life! Each of my kids has 2 savings accounts, 1 for college saving and 1 for car saving. I have 2 savings accounts, 1 for short term saving and 1 for long term/emergency saving. I have another savings for home imp/car maintenance, I have a savings for when my student loans are out of deferment, I have a debit card just for beauty related purchases, like pedicures, eyebrows, or hair. I have an account that I only pay bills out of and my debit is for me to buy anything I want ... but if it’s a pedicure or something, I use the debit beauty card.

[@chevonbayless798]

I always do "no spend September" each year. No spending that isn't groceries, gas, bills, etc. Basically no extra spending and NO Amazon lol. This year I ended the month with enough extra money to pay off my husband phone, thus lowering our monthly bill😀 I love to set a different financial goal for each month! I also put $40 cash in my wallet each month, if I want a Starbucks, soda, etc. I have to use that cash, once it's gone it's gone. It works great because thay stuff adds up fast!!

[@kTorres007]

That's so sweet! Nice little tip on the no spend month! Im gonna try a month like that. Lets see how that goes

[@JasmineRachelle22]

As a 26 year old who loved finance videos when I was your age too, my advice, DO NOT get into credit card debt!! Never spend your future money. I’m still trying to get this right lol

[@sherlynpatterson4304]

The best thing I did was listen to the adults and learn from their mistakes. The best advise about establishing credit was buying a starter piece of the expensive furniture I wanted for a home some day instead of a car. Choose a China cabinet that doubled as an entertainment unit until I could afford the dinning table. Had the cabinet for twenty plus years. If I would have chosen the car it would have only lasted a few years and cost more. Also did an old fashion hope chest. Started buying basics for a home. A good set of cookware, etc. Hope this information helps you make more good decisions for your future.

[@CCBeanzzz]

Take it from a 35 year old, definitely start from the very beginning living this way. You will KILL it as an adult if you do. Life will be so much easier.

[@bcnotpc659]

[@lunaw7962]

She pointed directly at me and my soul when she said “amazon” 😩 I’ve been caught! Haha

[@brineezyb32]

Budgeting by week and only using 2 categories even though I am paid monthly is a game changer for me mentally! It has definitely helped save more and feel like i have just enough flexibility to feel sorta normal during my big debt payoff journey.

[@madebysahana6172]

My favorite tip is to keep everything organized on one envelope. I’m a visual person and it really helps to see my budget in one place watching your budget videos and productivity videos make me sooo motivated! And I’m 22, and this is valuable information for especially my age where saving money and being smart is really important for me to set up a life I will love

[@emilyp6658]

The 5 Big Tips: 1. Keep it Simple (complexity is hard to sustain) 2. Budget Weekly (instead of monthly) 2A: Be Frugal with Weekly Choices 3: Open at Least 7 Bank Accounts (keep your money subdivided) 4: Use A Budget Planner (keep track of everything physically) 5: Budget in Some Spending Money (keep realistic expectations and be accountable)

[@vickimurray7109]

Thank you

[@toofacedsugar1764]

Why 7 bank accounts? Im 18 and I currently have two I believe and I'm slowly trying to learn how to budget better and better (this year has been SO hard lol, i used to be so great at saving) just wondering what the reasoning is

[@momdigest1735]

“Amazon, slow down honey” I needed to hear that lol

[@lynzee716]

I felt attacked lol

[@silvertoybox]

yup, i hear that! i watched this video and laughed as she said that, as I had just opened my ringing door to an amazon delivery!!!

[@roxolanathor48]

The struggle is real!!! 😂

[@mishalala45]

I love tip 2A, to squeeze the weekly budget and be frugal! It really is so much more manageable in small weekly chunks, and it’s so much easier if I focus on being frugal for a week at a time vs the whole month at a time.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

My favorite tip is the envelopes!! Not only are they super duper cute but putting the receipts in them is GENIUS. I mean talk about easily doing your taxes each year. 🤯

[@elisahamilton73]

I'm going through hard financial Times at the moment but I'm getting through it. I agree with multiple bank accounts. I have 1 for bills, 1 for food, 1 for family spending, 1for saving for birthdays/Christmas and 1 for saving for a rainy day plus saving accounts for my children. At the beginning of each month I divide it up into amounts that work for me. Most importantly I make sure I have the bills and food paid for (no take away food included). I don't want to lose my house or be hungry, then depending how much I have left over and what I need to buy I divide that up, some months there is a lot of spending on family things and other months I'm able to save, sometimes I put an amount straight into the savings account so when I look at that account there is little money so I then say 'can't buy it, there's no cash'. If it's something that I really need then I take out only that amount from the savings. It takes a lot of discipline because we have been conditioned to spend spend spend. I want to be in control of the money, I don't want it to control me. It's working ok for now.

In the Netherlands every bankaccount is around €5.- every month! So thats not possible here! 7 accounts would be €45 extra just to pay the bank! And we don’t have something like fetch! Do love the rest of your tips, love your videos!🥰

[@iwana1980]

Same in Ireland we pay bank charges for each account plus for using your card. There is also a government levy on bank cards. 7 accounts wouldn’t be worth it.

[@jessicab5204]

Honestly, my favorite too is to simplify. I have been following you for a long time, but I have always struggled with that because I felt like if I break it down so specific, it limits me from over spending. After watching this video when you first posted it, I finally gave it a try. And so far, I LOVE it! I love that if I am frugal enough in my main and other budgets, I can do more with it. Which made my husband need a budget for himself too. So we divided responsibilities, which we also haven't done before. I am excited about our budget again. And it's been a while since I've felt that. Thank you!

[@kotokoo]

Great tips Jordan but it's impossible to implement the tip about bank account if you live in Spain, lately all the banks fees every bank account to maintain it opens, the cheaper is $15 every month per account (you can skip the fee if you spend $60 with your credit card every month in each account), if you have 7 accounts it's almost $100 every month. For a few years I used the kakebo system to budget but most days I forgot to write down the little expenses and I change to an Excel sheet that I can update in my phone.

[@kikuyugirl]

kotokoo I do have an Excel Sheet that I keep on my phone too and update at every purchase. I always have my phone with me and everytime I write a purchase, I instantly see how much I have left. Its really easy 👌🏻 I’ve had it for several months now and its been eye opening. Small purchases add up SO FAST !

[@fedealber]

I’m Italian and for us is the same, BUT many banks are starting to offer online - just online, no physical assistance whatsoever - accounts, with no expenses. So I have one and I’m waiting: I’m sure in the next few months/ys many options will come up here in the old Europe too.

Hi Jordan, I loved the tip about budgeting weekly instead of monthly. Seriously, I needed to hear this because more often than not, I think I’m being productive with setting my monthly budget only to realize it’s all over the place and I can’t ever stick to it.

We paid it off every month and it helped us build a good credit history as well as budget and know exactly where our money went. He was reluctant at first, but eventually admitted it was a good idea and great help. I do recommend it, especially for younger folks who don't have much of a credit history yet. Just be sure it gets paid in full every month.

I TOTALLY FELT THAT WHEN YOU SAID AMAZON, I REALLY DO NEED TO SLOW DOWN

[@jordanpagecompany]

Hang in there!

I put stuff in my cart and (unless it’s something vital) let it sit a few days. If you have to buy something vital in the meantime, go to your cart and just click on Save For Later then make your purchase. It’s amazing to me how often I will go to buy a necessity only to see stuff I thought I HAD to have just sitting in my cart. At that point I either just remove it or “save for later.” It’s also handy for things you like but think you wouldn’t hesitate if only it were a couple of dollars cheaper. You’ll see a notification if something in “save for later” has a price change and sometimes the price will drop to a place that feels more reasonable. You can also click to be notified if an item goes on sale as a today’s deal or lightning deal. Yeah, I spend a lot of time on Amazon... Oh! If you’re responsible with credit cards, get the Amazon card that only lets you charge on Amazon (not the visa or whatever). You’ll earn cash back in every purchase and you can choose how to get your rewards. I have mine set so when I want to make a purchase, I’m offered the chance to use my accumulated awards to reduce the price. So if I’m on the fence, it might make a difference. I used to have it set so it was just applied to reduce my balance every month. If you don’t like the idea of another credit card, set it up to offer you the chance to apply rewards to purchases and, as soon as you complete the transaction, make a payment from whatever account you’d rather use.

Love you Jordan! I love the envelope - ONE envelope process for budgeting. Thank you!

[@carlyfoster4001]

So much easier! Exactly what I e been thinking about trying to use everything electronically but been trying to figure out how to track better. The budget by week makes things so much easier. I love Fetch too so much! Been a game changer!

[@HangNguyen-ih8rf]

My mom budget for 70 years.... if she can still survive (literally) without it then she’s not buying/spending it.

[@ceerunste3671]

Unfortunately, nothing is for free. You pay with your personal data to Fetch. They will know what you buy, where you buy it and sell this information to vendors.

[@sonnenblume9528]

EXACTLY!!!! I wish I could hit the thumbs up for this comment 1000 times! So true!

[@ms.brooks5485]

Also amazon are evil.

[@elizabethcoleman5230]

So? Why is that such a bad thing? As long as they’re not selling banking information or identity info all they’re doing is real-time marketing research

[@diannehamill4578]

Nothing is for free?? You obviously don't use coupons. Just in the past 2 weeks I got free milk, tortilla wraps, cream cheese, tuna snack kits and chocolate covered raisins.

[@mrenaep]

@@diannehamill4578 I think the OP is thinking of the adage "There's no such thing as a free lunch."

[@cmorgan687]

I love that you say to stretch your weekly budget! And the apps over never heard of! So awesome! Thank you!

[@t.kellee3462]

Loooooove how realistic your budgeting method is! Will definitely use this one from now on! I have too many cash envelopes and it's overwhelming!

[@laurawilkinson6913]

your link for the planner isn't working :)

When will you start shipping to Europe 😭😭😭?

[@jordanpagecompany]

We ship to many locations in Europe right now!

[@agentvazquez5855]

Love all the tips! Especially the one on budgeting by week instead of the full month. Thank you for sharing!!

[@kelseymcrouse]

Budgeting weekly is probably the top tip I got from this. I have always budgeted for 2 weeks because of how our pay cycle is. But breaking it down to a smaller time period will help us stay motivated to stay on track!!! All the tips r amazing, thank you Jordan!

[@jackiem9460]

I have to have separate envelopes for clothes, car repairs, gifts... otherwise I'd spend all the money on food.

[@jenniferific]

What’s funny, is that I already do most of this and have since my 12 yr old was a baby - including the multiple bank accounts. I just do a spreadsheet instead of writing on envelopes. I made it up on my own and I love it. Dave Ramsey has good tips but his budget / cash system doesn’t work for me. This method does work for me. This is much more reasonable and doable.

[@testonlyatest6355]

I love the thought of a weekly weigh in. Totally going to pull that into our budgeting and planning now.

[@ymerojas]

Omg!!! 😱 Those planners and envelopes are so cute!!! I am getting some for sure! Ty!

[@maevef9097]

I know that I’m 17 and come from a happy home, but like... Will you adopt me?
