 Well hello everybody and welcome back to my channel. Today we're doing a plan with me and we are working on Monday January 23rd through Sunday January 29th. As always let's take a look back at last week. Today is currently Sunday January 22nd. I just went to Financial Peace University and now I am filming. I actually just filmed my FPU update. Now I'm filming my plan with me and then I have my February budget that is coming up on Wednesday for you guys too. Fun things that happened this week. My dog Doyle turned 10 so he is officially my old stinky man and that was kind of fun and actually I went to lunch with my friend Jody. She is at Life's Organized Chaos here on YouTube. I will link her channel below. She does very similar content that I do. She does plan with me. She does budget style videos. She doesn't actually do like showing her budget videos but she shows like her setup and stuff too which is really cool. Also something fun that I did this week is I hired a realtor because I am starting to look for homes. When I actually start looking for homes I will be taking you guys along on my journey but that hasn't started happening yet but we just had our initial meeting of about what I'm looking for and like all that good stuff so anyway that's going to be happening. So let's do this week. So I actually pulled some washi so I actually was wrapping a bunch of washi for Jody. She's been on this money saving journey as well as I have and I kind of rediscovered some of my like skinny washi I guess so as I was like washing washing as I was wrapping washi for her I'm like you know what I need to start using some of this again but she's also going through Financial Peace University which is what I'm going through as well that video will be up on Friday if you guys want to watch it and yeah so figured I would wrap some you know kind of more basic stuff for her and I was like why don't I ever use this stuff so I don't know. Now I'm using it long story long though I'm using it so I'm not really going with any like particular theme this week. I really haven't been doing like tons of themes recently. I don't know why I don't know I'm just like I'm into planning obviously but like I think I tried for so long to be so like themey and different and I just it's not that I don't care it's just that if I'm being totally honest I just don't have the time to dedicate to like think about what theme is this week gonna be. It's kind of like I'm so over the themes and now that I say that I'll probably do a theme next week or something but you guys know what I'm saying though. All right so all of my work is in all right I'll make labels for those in a moment and I think I'm gonna have a bonus video this week I've had this other video this 2016 video calendar that I filmed like honestly quite a while ago but I just haven't published yet and I think I'm just gonna publish it like this sometime this week either Tuesday or Thursday because honestly it just needs to get up and it's kind of like one of those videos that to me is more in a timely manner I would say so I just need to put it up I just need to bite the bullet and put it up it's edited and everything it's I believe it's already even uploaded into my YouTube channel but I just haven't made it like public yet so it's just one of those things sometimes I am just like a professional procrastinator but that's okay and then I have this little cute washi sample of a bunch of different colors so I figured purple purple kind of went with this so we're just gonna do it oh and this is like almost exactly as much washi as I need so that's perfect it makes me feel like so satisfied when I finally like use all of my planning supplies it gives me like so much joy in my heart to do that like finishing a whole sheet of stickers is like bliss for me I'm just like yes I finished it see I didn't waste my money all right so there's that perfect all right so I've got my FPU class actually I'm gonna use this like little tail that was left over and put this right over here if I can put it in properly put it in that 10 my class is at actually at like 10 15 my goodness here we go oh it's kind of janky at the end there there we go that looks a little bit better okay wonderful I like the way that looks so let me work on my work labels actually let's see here all right let's do some work labels actually I already have this one from the other week all right if you guys hear any like loud gnawing in the background that's my dog he's working on a bone right now and I really don't feel like getting up and taking it away from him because he gets all mad about it and then he clanks around on the hard floor and that irritates me even more so get out it's okay he's having all the fun over there okay so work work work work work work work work all right got the work in perfect okay so let's put in some videos all right I think I'm gonna put these in on this and actually Jody from Life's Organized Chaos gave me these um for a birthday present those thank you Jody if you're watching um so I'm gonna put all of my youtube videos in here these are super cute and they're like teensy tiny they're from a park's party is what they're from so I'd never heard of that sticker shop but um Jody had ordered from there and um yeah so so like oh my gosh these are like super cute and really really functional and yeah so okay I need four of these because I'm gonna do four videos this week okay so I got all my videos written out and hey I wanted to talk to you guys about YouTube really quick so I just actually pulled my stats this morning um before I filmed this because I wanted to just chat with you guys about some stuff so as some of you know that I've been a long time subscriber you know that my channel has kind of done some weird things in the last like month month and a half or so so I was looking at my stats in the last 28 days I have gained over 6,000 new subscribers so thank you so much that means so much to me that you guys actually want to watch my content that's like pretty mind-blowing and amazing so essentially my channel has more than doubled in the last month so what that means is is there's lots of new people which hello to the new people out there um leave a thumbs up if you're a new person but anyway what's happening is that there's a lot of people that are commenting on a lot of different videos which thank you so much for commenting but I feel so bad because I am missing so many comments and I know you guys have a lot of questions about certain things and I just can't get to everybody anymore I used to be able to and I'm just unfortunately not able to any longer really the reason I the reason that I'm not able to get to everybody is because I have a regular full-time job I do not do YouTube full time maybe someday I will I don't know but I'm not at that point where I can quit my full-time job and respond back to comments but I'm just letting you guys know if for some reason you need to talk to me about something feel free to look in the bottom bar below I will see something that will come through on email like my personal email it's like favorite period daughter period Emily at gmail.com feel free to check that out down below as well as if you are a part of my Facebook page I am more apt to see a message come through on my Facebook page as well so if you need to talk to me about something check out those links also one more thing I want to address is I have had several like at least 10 maybe 15 emails about this in the last month or so wondering if I do help would help someone do like financial counseling and I don't do that I am not a financial person I just love sharing my story with you guys so that's why I do financial videos I am in no position to give any kind of financial advice the place that I would refer you to would be Dave Ramsey I will put his website down below if anyone is interested in checking him out that's the program that I have followed for a few years and I was actually like doing his program before I even knew what his program was honestly so that being said I highly recommend Dave Ramsey for any of your financial needs so definitely check him out it's worth your while so anyway I want to kind of get that out of the way so I could chat with you guys about that but I just feel so bad like I've just been feeling a lot of major overwhelm because of that and it's just like I feel bad that I can't talk to everybody anymore and it just it makes me really sad but also it's really a positive thing because the channel is growing in the way that I would want it to it's just all happening at the same time it's not gradual this thing is like kind of booming and I'm just experiencing a lot experiencing a lot of overwhelm not in a bad way but in a way that I can't do what I used to do for you guys so I just want to let you know I'm not not responding back because of a specific reason it's just that there's so many comments that I can't keep up with them especially when they're on super old videos so any who so that's all I wanted to say about that and also I'm going to be using this this is the Aaron Kondren designer sticker book this is the monthly collection edition two I'm going to use on the April sheet I'm going to use this little purple guy right here just put in my financial class fpu also I do have a code for erid kondren if you guys want to buy anything from her this sticker book is from her as well as these like little pink stickers that I put on the planners from erin kondren this is the 7x9 so it's the regular size not the upgraded larger size of a planner and I'm in the hourly in the neutral version with a silver coil so I know I get a lot of questions about that and I should probably change my youtube description um so I actually tell you guys like what kind of planner I use I just haven't done it yet I just haven't done it yet and then this little guy's from coffee break planner these work stickers are from there and then also this little trash is from coffee break planner as well there's also a discount code um for coffee break planner as well um and then also if you sign up under the erin kondren link that is down below you'll receive a if it's your first time ordering you'll receive a $10 off coupon code emailed to you that email typically takes anywhere from a couple of minutes to a couple of hours to generate it's a unique coupon code you use it at checkout and then if you choose to use your coupon code once your item ships they actually send me a $10 off coupon code so then I can bring you guys massive giveaways and show you guys all the fun things that are new from erin kondren so anyway that really helps me out and supports my channel as well so thank you to everyone who's already used it so also I need to do some filming and that will probably happen on Sunday when I get home I just generally like to do filming on Sundays just honestly um and then also I need to do my day ramsey budget which I will do sometime this week do my fpu budget I'll still do my normal budget but I need to do an fpu budget um all right so I think I'm probably going to do the fpu budget sometime this week and I'll just do it after work one day maybe like I think I'll do it on oops I'll do it on Wednesday I'll have time then to sit down and do the things um actually I got these from a friend of mine she actually bought them from erin kondren so this says groceries on it so I'm gonna use this and I think I'll probably end up going grocery shopping probably on Friday because I have such a rockin personal life you guys which is obviously a joke if you've watched my channel for more than a minute um but I will be going to Aldi to get some groceries I love these little grocery box things from coffee break planner they're super freaking cute they're like one of my favorites these two are probably like two of my favorite sheets that I've ever gotten from Catherine shop they're super freaking cute what else do I need to do okay I don't know um at some point I actually need to go to Target so guess what I'm actually gonna use this thing over here as a to do I literally can't remember the last time I actually used my sidebar maybe someone can tell me it's been a while I need to go to Target because I need to do a return I bought a shirt a while ago and I didn't try it on because I just don't try stuff on which I totally should but whatever um but I need to go to Target at some point this week I just don't know what day I'm gonna go so I don't want to put that in yet but anyway my week is like super boring I'm gonna do laundry at some point one of these days I just don't have laundry stickers sitting out so
