 Well, hello everybody and welcome back to my channel today. We are finally working on my September budget I know it's a few days into September, but we're still gonna go with it. Sorry about the weird like shadowing over here It's pretty late at night. So I'm gonna have to use artificial lighting for this. I figured I would show you what I'm about to do So I am gonna use some of the stickers from this Aaron Condren sticker book This is the monthly collection edition 2. There will be a link below for you guys If it's your first time ordering anything from Aaron Condren There is a specific link for you down below if you sign up and Use the $10 code that's actually emailed to you then I get a $10 off coupon code as well Once your item ships if you have already used Aaron Condren products and have your own profile There is another link down down below for you. It is an affiliate link just to let you know so I Just signed up for that and I don't know how it's gonna do, but we'll see But Aaron Condren just announced that actually the other day and I signed up and got approved So use that if you want. I don't know. I think I think it's kind of like some sort of affiliate link I I mean it is an affiliate link don't get me wrong But like I don't know if it's like you get start credit or like I don't know how it works because I haven't you know No one's used it yet. So you guys are the first ones that have it on your little description So anyway, I figured I would use this sticker sheet. This was actually a I think this was in my last seasonal surprise box Yes, I know it's rose gold, but I want to use these painted petals really bad. So It's just gonna happen But they do have a pain I believe they have a painted pedals version on the website But this I think was an exclusive design for that seasonal surprise box Also, I'm gonna be using my paper mate inkjoy gel pens. There is a link below for the black one I figured I would do the incoming in green and the outgoing in pink. I was gonna do red But there's no red on here. So I don't know figured switch it up Why not and then my little case that says budget on it you can get these this was a customized one obviously I Can get those on Aaron conran calm All right, and then Let me show you guys what I'm working with All right, so I've got these little stickers here, which is from paper house life organized is what it said There's stickers. I actually got this from a lovely company that sent it to me However, I know you can get these on Amazon if I can remember I will link them down below for you guys So I might use a couple of these and then I have all of my amazing Emily's budget bundle stuff from Catherine over at coffee break planner I love her stickers. This is not in the budget bundle by the way, but I love her stuff It is so nice and I track all of my monthly spending with this. So I'm gonna put those off to the side All right, so we are in September here and I like to write down like any additional Expenses in here and I don't really have any this month So that's kind of nice you guys like it's usually really nice and I don't have those extra like monthly expenses, so Let's get right into this page All right, so a lot of people ask me what I do with this page I don't do anything. I've never done anything you guys have always given me great suggestions, but I Don't know it just doesn't appeal to me to like do anything with it as of this moment But that might change. I don't know you never know I might switch it up at some point But I think you guys are more creative than me because I like to see What you guys create via Instagram or whatever So if you guys do your budgets in your Aaron Condren monthly planner, please tag me I know some of you do and I get all excited when you guys tag me in your photos So feel free. Please tag me. All right, so I'm gonna use this little guy right here. Oh my gosh Put this little chucker in here. Oh, ah, don't do it crooked Emily. Come on There we go. All right, I'll use some of these in just a little bit, but I'm gonna put them up here for right now So let's do all the incoming which I'm gonna put over here. I think kind of like I did last month I'm gonna use a couple of these little stickers because They're freaking adorable a little dollar sign. Sorry about the lighting you guys I have this like light fixture where this these lights keep going in and out and it's driving me absolutely baddie I think I just need to replace all the lights in it because you know, they like came with the house Oh, no, are you guys gonna be able to see this? Hold on change of plans We're gonna do a black pen. Give me just a second here. Actually, let's get really weird and let's use a blue pen I haven't even used this one. It has a little like rubber tip on it I call it the cock block. Anyway, you guys can giggle amongst yourselves. All right Can we see that a little bit better? Oh, yeah, we can see that better I'll look back at the footage once I actually upload it and see if you could actually see this pen I don't think you could so anyway, I just have the little like Viewfinder to look at so I'm like, oh my gosh. I don't know if they can see it. So let's see here We're gonna do how many weeks are in this month here We've got one two three four five Fridays. So partay So we're gonna have five paydays and so I always say this in my Videos if you haven't watched before but this is my average if I work 40 hours a week and no overtime I typically have like more time than 40 hours not always So I just like to work off of just 40 hours and then you know kind of work Work from there and then, you know, do my budget accordingly Also, I am a decorative budget planner as you guys can probably notice I'm not kind of a I'm not like a no-frills budgeter But I just want to make my budget look pretty because if I make it look pretty then I'm more inclined to like look at it and reference back into it later on in the month and You know stick to the budget if you will I really really like that. All right, so my total incoming is going to be a grand total of three thousand two hundred eighty seven dollars and seventy cents, and I don't have any like specific additional funds coming in I know I don't normally have additional funds anyways, but just saying let me get you guys a little bit closer here Hopefully that's not too annoying with all the shadows. Let's use I'm gonna use a little orange guys for the house because This is all pretty much house stuff up here, and I'll Go like go like a diss and maybe this will be helpful. All right, so here is all of my outgoing All right, so here is all of my outgoing for right now. These are just kind of like my more House related set expenses in my life. So my mortgage is four fifty one thirty eight My HOA is a hundred and fifty eight my electric estimate because obviously that just depends every single month is around a hundred dollars My gas is actually at a set price of forty four dollars and once I'm here for I think it's either six months or a year It'll like pro rate again. So they just kind of keep adjusting it, you know plus or minus My trash is always the same at twenty nine dollars and seventy five cents. The water estimate is sixty dollars I actually just pulled my bill from last month and it was Almost sixty dollars. So I'm assuming this month. They'll be using the same amount of water And then my auto insurance is always the same at eighty five dollars and forty two cents My Wi-Fi is always the same at forty five twenty nine Netflix is the same at ten dollars and sixty eight cents And something I actually forgot to put on my last Monthly expense was a culligan. I actually have a water softening system that I rent from them I pay thirty one dollars and eighty five cents a month, and they actually come and service it as well I pay extra when they service it But they only have to service it about every like three to four months And they actually put in like more water softening pellets and make sure everything's on the up and up I guess the original owner had issues with the water softener like within two years And I guess a lot of people did in this area I don't know because there's like really hard water or there's something is there's an issue with the city Water and water softeners So he decided and actually a whole bunch of the neighbors here decided to use the culligan service Because it's a culligan owned device So if for any reason that water softener goes out They just replace it or they fix it for free because I pay this like monthly Installment so I'm not actually I mean, I guess I'm kind of renting it, but I don't actually own it So I guess if I ever sell the house and the next person doesn't want the culligan service They'll have to get a water softener of their own But I don't know I guess the other the other issue is the owner that's had this culligan thing in there They have had to replace it once already So I mean and the house was built in 2002 and no one even like lived here until 2003 Yeah, it's just I don't know it makes me feel better and It's fine, and I just know that if there's an issue I just call them and I go to work and then they come and replace it or they come and service it and it's fine So I don't mind paying a little bit for that. Let's use Some of these bad boys in here. I'm not sure what I want to use Maybe I should just like stick with rose gold because that's kind of what's happening in here right now Use these Goodness Getting all rose gold out on my freaking Budget you guys if you guys watch any of my other videos, you know that I don't really enjoy the rose gold, but whatever But I like this design like I want this design. Oh, I forgot to put in this. This is my little Foily guy that says September Ta-da, I don't know. I just want to make it cute you guys I just want to make it super cute. This is a good quote for this month If this one says you are entirely up to you That is so true. Let's Let's put this somewhere. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. How do you want to put this? Let's put this down at the bottom here Trying to try to figure out how I want to Set this all up, you know Anyway, all right, so let's get into like actual like cash cash money spending money All right, so gas I'm actually gonna up the budget a little bit I've been driving a lot more for work and Just like going to job sites and stuff and it's getting like a little taxing, but whatever So I'm spending a little bit more in gas. I normally budget about $200 I'm just gonna budget three just for the heck of it because we've got five weeks to deal with and I would drive a little bit more. So I'm just gonna go with $300 for gas and then for grocery I've been like really trying to eat a lot healthier nowadays so like lots of like fresh fruits and vegetables and I don't know I feel like it's harder to do when you're single But I think I'm gonna guesstimate about $300 for that as well my dining budget I don't have anything specific planned for this month for like, you know dining out but I think what I'm going to do is put $100 in there because it's always a nice safe bet and then Like miscellaneous So I should have like a miscellaneous fund which now I have a fund because I'm writing it down But for grocery like I do that like straight food I know a lot of people ask that question of like so what do you do if you want it need to buy like dish soap or a lint roller or Napkins or something like what do you do? Well, I don't use that as grocery money Like I will separate my transactions the reason that I kind of separate this stuff out is Because I have a problem spending in those categories really gas to be honest I don't have a problem spending because like if you need gas you need gas But like the grocery in the dining that's usually like those are my big trigger areas because I'm like Oh the cart's not full like fill it up, you know at the grocery store or like oh dining. Yeah Do I do I want an appetizer? Sure? I want an appetizer, you know So it's like it just kind of controls that a little bit more So the miscellaneous would be like if I need like some makeup Or if I want to get any of those other miscellaneous items I was just talking about so like paper towels toilet paper Shampoo like little things like that because I'm pretty well stocked in all those areas And I feel like maybe like once a month like one or two items will come up like oh I need toothpaste and I need razor like cartridge refills like okay Well, that's it so that's like less than 20 bucks right there So it's like I don't really overspend in that stuff But I do overspend in the grocery for sure So under miscellaneous, I'm just gonna put $100 in there because I think I'm gonna be running low on a couple of things pretty soon So let's get this all totaled up and then we will figure it out from there Oh, also, I think we need more of these because these are so cute. I've got my little money money stickers So cute Boop, so what I'm gonna do is very similar to what I did last month Oh, and by the way, I will leave my money talk playlist down below which has all of my financial Fridays on there I'm gonna put down like on this little guy right here How much is in my like Outgoing and my kind of cash system and then deducted by my total and then see how much that I can Potentially save this a month. So let's do that. All right So my grand total for all the things that are outgoing is $1,816 and 37 cents and then we've got the incoming Potentially of $3,287 or $87 and 70 cents. I can't talk today you guys It's been a day. All right So that has me saving a potential of $1,471 and 33 cents. There are always little miscellaneous things that come up or You know, sometimes I can actually you know, like some of these estimations if they're wrong I can save more, you know It just depends on the month of like how everything Shakes out. So I'm really excited about these totals this month that extra week like always helps It's kind of like when you get paid three times if you you're someone that gets paid every other week It's like kind of those magic months as they like to call them But yeah, I just I always get excited when there's five weeks in the month because it just makes my life so much easier y'all So anyway, I think that is going to be it for this month's budget If you have any questions feel free to post them below I will link all of the sticker sources that I used and showed down below as well if you like these videos and budget videos in general feel free to give it a good old thumbs up and Feel free to make a comment that always really helps out my channel So thank you guys so much and also obviously if you got questions, you know Just put them put them down there y'all.
