 Hey friends, welcome to Norris Cove. I'm Yoshida. Today we're going to be doing our paycheck to paycheck weekly check-in for me. If this is something that you would be interested in, stay tuned. Hello, hello, hello everyone. Welcome, welcome, welcome to all of our new subscribers. I'm happy to have you here. This is what we do pretty much on Mondays. I used to call it Monday Monday Mondays, but on Mondays we get our intentions ready for the week for our upcoming bills and all of that great stuff. So I'll be using my paycheck to paycheck weekly check-in here. I'm just going to grab a pen and I have one prepared. So for this week we'll be, this is week number one, I believe, of September and it'll be August 30th through September the 5th. Okay. You guys, this is that slow week. So I got a new income to tell you guys about and I'm going to get into that one in just a second. So y'all today I signed up for Instacart. Let me tell you. So for this week for hair I project only $400. So far I've only made $9. I'm going to go for $50 and then with the new income I'm just putting miscellaneous because it may be more. I'm going to go for $150. Okay. And so we should be at $600. That's for this $5.6 for the week. I don't know, but and I got a lot of bills y'all. So I have my little sticky note over here of my bills. I make, I kind of pre-plan write these down and I put them in my on-the-go planner of my weekly check-in to kind of prep me for that week. So I'll have a kind of a hit look so I kind of don't spend. Does that make sense to y'all? But that works for me. So everything is kind of doing the first. So actually on the 831 we got a couple of after-pays and these are almost over. I don't know why I did all these after-pays on the same day. And I actually just paid that one yesterday. I went ahead and paid it. So we have a bunch of after-pays. I'm going to be just about through with those, not really doing those anymore because it seems like I just get them on those weeks that are the slow weeks and then they just happen to fall again on a slow week and then I'm struggling to pay it. So makes no sense. Okay. So and then I have a sizzle, same thing. And then actually I really can pay these off. This is the last payment on that one. I think I have one more payment on this one and one more payment on that one. So let's see. Amazon is due on the first and I think that is 1377. CMP. It's definitely the first. Ulta. So here's where it gets interesting. All of my pretty much small credit cards are due on the first and I believe Ulta is $29. I kind of want to put a little extra on them but this is a slow week. So no. Community and I believe they are 29 as well. Victoria's Secrets. They are 29 as well but I want to give them 50 because I only owe a hundred dollars on that one and I want to pay them off. So I'm looking forward to giving them 50 and Walmart is due on the fourth. Now what I like, oh and then I have booth rent. I'm going to just put the fourth. I don't know what my handwriting looks like this but it's okay. And Walmart is like 29 but I'm supposed to be giving Walmart extra. I'm going to do 50 for them as well. So I'm just going to bring in my other planner. I'm going to search for like things that was due around this time. Last time I got a T-Mobile payment at Walmart, Amazon. I don't have Ling Barn anymore. I paid them off and Wayfair has moved to the 25th. So let's see. Is there anything else I have to pay? Card node capital one. Okay so there's nothing and then now I will check my monthly to see if there is anything that I may have forgotten. So we're going to the fourth. So no that's it. Something else is doing the fourth. Oh my new credit one card. Oh Lord. I have that on. And they had like a fee which I shouldn't have gotten that card which was like 39 dollars. Okay so but I want to give them more but I'm going to stick with the 39. So we have a remaining from income at 600. Let's add all of this up. I'll probably fast forward. Okay so we have 504.76 sells about right. That's what I got to pay out. Now honestly I'm not going to even put cash envelopes if there's something left. I'll do that but I'm supposed to be starting my 100 envelope challenge. I'm making progress but let me zoom out. I'm making a little progress here but not much. So I'm only up to number like 39. I haven't even gotten to 40. Yeah it's 38. So I'm up to like 38, 39. So I'm supposed to be doing that. So I'm going to just put over here 100 envelope. So it's 504. Let's subtract from 600. Should be 95, 24. I'm going to put that here 95, 24. And then put a 100 envelope. I'm going to do 10 dollars and I'm not going to include my one in five. I need to save everything else but I know that's not going to work. So my miscellaneous I have a note in my monthly that miscellaneous needs to get something. So I'm going to give miscellaneous 60 dollars and 23 cents. So we have 70, 23. And then savings. Savings will get the rest which will be, that's going to be 60, 24. So it's going to get 25 dollars and that zero's our budget out. So let me just calculate all of this. I need to get a new calculator because this one is nice but 95, 24. 95, 24. So we have zero balance left. So no cash envelope so far this week. So far we don't have any cash envelopes this week. If there's more of course I'll stuff to the cash envelopes. But right now we're working with very, very little. Again I'm going to try to hustle the Instacart. I feel like I'm forgetting something I am. I'm going to try to hustle the Instacart but we may have more to stuff but for right now this is what it's looking like up and through around here. So but there's always a way major that. So definitely I'm not even worried. We're going to get it done. So next video you guys will be me closing out the month of August and either I'll be doing my September because I definitely want to get started on my September budget. I've kind of done an outline of it but I haven't done with you guys and you all have been keeping me accountable. I know my planner babes are like where where's the plan with means but I have to you know I was saying I have a little bit 80 HD and while I'm focused on my budget I have to stay so that I can continue to save and keep my mind frame and that then I can veer a little back to the left. So I'll still do those you know videos as well but staying you know my eye on my money I'm doing so much better because the pandemic taught me one thing that you can never get too comfortable even though I get paid cash daily it could be gone just like that even though I'm self-employed I'm I don't have any benefits I don't have any guaranteed money so this is really helping me and I don't ever want to be put in that position again where I don't have any money or I have to depend on people to help me pay my bills or depend on the government to help me pay my bills so I'm really on this financial journey and I'm dead serious so I have to stick to my budgeting um like I said before this is where this channel was created was really in the beginning was for me budgeting um you can go back my very first video is a little clock to the side but it was about my budget so I am on it I enjoy sharing my journey with you guys I cannot wait to just show you the things that I'll be able to pay off um like I said today is my first day instacarting and hoochah I was tired I took a nap it was I guess because I didn't have anything to do I didn't have any regular customers um the my you know Etsy and Shopify shop was short was you know slow sounds like instead of sitting down let me just do some instacart I didn't believe I was able to start today but I did and your girl is tired okay y'all I was wheezing I thought I was gonna cough up a lung I had to walk up some steps but I got my exercise in I made some tip money which I cannot wait to share with you guys and I'm gonna give it a go again tomorrow I don't know how long this is gonna last but I'm determined to pay off this I can't just sit around and wait and expect um just you know just to magically disappear or some money to magically just appear in my account and I also looked at my analytics for the first time in a while um like I don't even have to watch hours so even if I get to a thousand subscribers I still need to watch hours so I was like um you're not getting the check no time so I'll sit so you need to go out here and do some work so that's all I have for you guys sorry about the little short diary entry but anyway thank you all so much for stopping by if you enjoyed today's video and you want to come back for some more I would love to welcome you to the cove so do me a favor hit that subscribe button also hit that notification bell so that you're notified whenever I upload content and I'll see you guys in my next video bye
