 Hey friends and welcome to my channel. Thank you all so much for stopping by I'd like to first say thank you to all my new subscribers Thank you for being interested in the content that I'm creating and just following me as I go along this journey of budgeting and Newly to planning. So let's jump right in no long Entry so we will go over last week this week really quickly So this week You all know if you're new to my channel. I'm a hairstylist. I get paid daily by cash or Cash app or credit card. We're happy. I'm also Sometimes a makeup artist sometimes a nail technician. I was doing pure romance I'm no longer doing that but I got paid from pure romance this past week with some things that I sold it to get Rid of out of my collection and I track my money daily and my tips daily in my everyday carry This is my everyday carry, which is a Michaels recollection at the moment I may be switching over to happy planner, but I do kind of like my a5. So We're gonna get started with some totals. I haven't been using my little note sheet And that's what I think is kind of messing me up as far as budget wise. So this is the second week I did not use a cheat sheet and for those who are new my cheat sheet Let's go back some because I haven't used it in quite some time My cheat sheet is basically every day I write down my totals and then I took that out. So Let me get to it so I can Show you all I hope I didn't lose it. Okay. Here's a cheat sheet Basically every day Monday through Saturday basically are days that I work And I just write down my income and my tips at the end of the week. I take it out Do my totals and then I add them to my budget planner. So I Add that bow back later. So here we are in this week Well last week and now what I have to do is go day by day So for the total so one basically Monday was $90 I did not work Tuesday Wednesday was $80 because I made 20 from pure romance and then 60 from hair. So I'm just put That Thursday, I made two hundred and thirty dollars Friday I made I Didn't write down my total for Friday. I Did not So now I have to do that. See this is what happens So I'm glad that I make mistakes so that you all can see that I'm not perfect I'm human and I'm just trying to get my budget together So I didn't get a total for Saturday. I mean Friday, but we're basically at 715 I'll go back and do that total so that I can tell you Saturday Friday's total and then Saturday Did not do another total. Let's do the total You know what? Let me just start over Let me do Friday's total right quick Just for my own sanity and that I can write it in I can see so Friday the total was 315 and I really I mean if someone out there who's a hair stylist employee and that is watching because I know There are hairstylists who are planners Also waitresses things like that Who get paid cash daily and who are trying to basically You know plan their life out and what have you They understand the struggle that is so I can't keep saying so hard, but it's not easy. I Thought it was 400 for Saturday. I wasn't positive. It's not easy making cash every day So I'm gonna work backwards. So Saturday was $400. See this is why I need my cheat sheet So Saturday was $400. So then Friday was 315. Oh Darn it now. I gotta add a dollar Thursday was 230. Oh Pretty good $80 on Wednesday And $90 on Monday Wow, so the total for the week was week three. Okay 1000 here I didn't include Pyrrho mans So Pyrrho mans, I didn't estimate anything. I made $20 off of that So all I need to do is take $20 from this 1125 105 quick math So I was actually I guesstimated a thousand on the third week and I was I'm hitting at home I'm getting real real close. So I gotta go back. I don't even know if I did actual What I did make $33 and 60 cent on posh last week Actually, it really showed up this week But I'ma leave it on Week four because it started to generate on week two So we were up basically a hundred and five dollars and Then here we were up 20 because I hadn't expected anything from Pyrrho mans. So In last week, I think we were on the money With I have to look at the video. That's a shame I'ma do a quick add of last week since we you know, we're gonna go ahead and do last week as well So we made 455 on Saturday last week Friday, I Don't think I didn't make any money Friday Thursday was $70 120 on Wednesday Had a date they would hubby Tuesday, so I mean 645. Yep, that was correct 645. So I didn't even make the 800. So that might have been my little Speel so let's Subtract the 800 from 645 So we were minus 155 And I think I had cancellations or something last week. So I just wasn't really in a great case base. So anyway Last week the only thing I paid. I think that was it the reason I was a little upset was because the only thing I paid last week was Let's see when we do Did I pick hard note wait a minute, I'm so confused Wait a minute Here it is. I'm so sorry y'all So sorry last week was the first week my goodness Now we got to do everything all over So you know what we really made more I Kept trying to figure out why this was like this See mistakes happening. Oh, I don't know how to fix this So I found some more Tape so posh was on this week. That's why I added it. So now we got a I have another one of those other tapes, but I'm not gonna get frustrated. I don't get frustrated So last week, this is what happened I did write it down because I did the video So I made 645 so I was up $45. So you think I'd have been you know, a little excited about that I'm thinking it was this week. So I did make posh. That's what it was this week posh and then pure romance So I had three incomes this week and like I said, I'm no longer doing pure romance, but um, I'm selling off some of the things that I have so And I actually made $1,105 So I was up now. We gotta rip out the calculator again because we had that all wrong. So $1,105 subtract 800 Was 305. So I was up 305. That's great um actual Well, I put estimated that wasn't supposed to go there. That was supposed to be 33 60 20 White out to the rescue again Zero I I hate white out when it comes stuff like this. It is going to drive me crazy So I was up $33 and 60 cents as far as posh mark and pure romance. I was up 20 So my totals were 105 plus 33 60 plus 20 equals 1000 I'm right in the wrong place. I'm just off today this spirit Where was I so I wasn't expecting to make so we made the total was 1000 $158 and 60 cents So let's see where that money went this week. I know that I paid a car note. Let's go back Hold this up move it out So last week I paid schedule. Let's see. Oh, and then I went in and put What came out my Etsy payment came out on monday Something else I put the sticker here for something else came out, but my Etsy payment came out Uh, matter of fact, what did I pay? I need another bill to sticker I'm gonna use a flag Because I paid the cell phone bill I ended up paying the cell phone bill on saturday, but I'm gonna put it here on friday I paid that yesterday I'm gonna put the date my victoria secrets bill and I paid 27 dollars You are the balance is so low, but I just keep fooling with this thing. I don't know why so I did pay my car note I did not pay a sale bill This week should have I didn't buy any products this week or did I I know I did I think about one thing I think I did. No, I guess I did. I think it was like 10 dollars Um got paid from posh. So here I put in the payday sticker whenever time I get paid That's the only time I use my payday stickers when I am paid through something else like posh Uh anything else 1299 to amazon so that came out on sunday which tripped me out And then something came out on saturday that I wasn't expecting the etsy payment and it was something else I can't remember what it was, but I did get a card note and my half of my card note is 181 60 And then I have another one coming out this week Coming so that's what I paid this week. Let's flip over What I got paid and what I paid Uh, let's see I did prepare booth rent. Sorry about that. I paid a booth rent as well I paid half of a car note Um car insurance is due on the 28th Weebly I didn't pay Jim. I didn't pay products So so far I only spent 10 dollars of my 200 dollar balance for products Victoria's Secret I have budgeted 50 dollars. I've spent 27 dollars And I may have to come back in and because I want to go ahead and pay that off because I think I do Have like a 50. I had a 55 dollar balance. So to 27 dollar payments to pay it off But I'm going to hit that off for the rest of the month. So I'll come back in I'm just going to put down the date here with was today's dutch That was yesterday the 13th and so I'm gonna split that up So the next time I make a payment, I'll put it here Uh gas can I get gas this week? I did get gas and I spent I don't know which day I got gas. I think I got gas on Wednesday I'll use another flag sticker And I spent really too much 36 dollars gases went up And I don't like to spend 36 dollars on gas. I'm cheap. So And I have like a little mini truck. I don't have like a big truck So but I there was a time when I had a big truck and I was spending 60 70 dollars So whenever I could spend less, I'm gonna put another mark through here And I spent 36 dollars. Okay Um aflac. I paid aflac this week. I forgot about that So I paid them. I paid that yesterday And I think yeah, I paid aflac yesterday There you go Oh and the total I had right in my total was 1150 You know what you guys if you've been following me, you know that my goal is to make 1200 dollars a week We were very very close. I don't know why I don't have that over here in the goal section We'll put it over here But that's supposed to be from here And there's a video finishing up Okay, what else gym membership didn't come out victoria secrets. I paid that aflac Mr. Lane is eating out. This is my issue. Okay, this is my issue and um one day I'm just gonna do a video basically on me um How I'm gonna rear in my budget and be able to pay myself on Saturday and I kind of got a idea So this week I tried writing some of it down, but you guys I know I spent A good hundred and twenty dollars eating out I'm gonna put a slash to that because the month isn't over Cell phone bill. I didn't pay that yet. I need to hit it up with something and say I could have taken care of it It's just crazy Savings. Oh my god. Let's not talk about it. I haven't saved anything. It doesn't make sense I'm just trying to figure out how can I Pay myself And get through and everything extra I pay bills and pay stuff off So this was this week's budget very Not necessarily challenging Money-wise it was great and especially with my other little sources of income Which as you can see my other sources of income. I'm not getting rich off of I'm not So that's why I have to continue to stand on my feet and do hair And um to show you guys how I'm managing that which I'm not managing it. Well, I can honestly say I'm not managing it well so also I want to talk about sinking funds too because I have a sinking funds. I've added that to my budget now And um, I'm going to start implementing it and I remember I don't know if I told you guys if you remember, excuse me That um, I was doing the um cash envelopes, but I stopped because I was going into the cash envelopes well, I'm thinking I'm going to bring cash envelopes back because Then when I did go into my cash envelopes to Basically take the money out and just spend it on whatever I had pretty decent amount of money in there to just Blow and I use it all pretty much on craft supplies and Planner stuff, but that's not what it was for But I did have a decent amount of money in there if I had kept that up, you know So I'm going back to sinking funds and cash envelopes because I think for someone like myself who is self-employed That that will definitely definitely help me because like now um, if you saw my other video, I've been trying to make a dentist appointment with a dentist with my low dental insurance And they're not answering and I've been the dentist that I like She uh charges like $200 for a cleaning. She's well worth the $200 trust me and I want to go back to her She doesn't take my insurance. So I'm going to Uh, just basically save up for that and I want to be able to do that So that I can go to her on a regular basis and stop fooling around with these people who won't answer their phone So needless to say that is April's budget. So we're next week We have estimated a thousand and I think we're going to hit the 1200 mark because next week is well This coming week is Easter, which is week three and that's when one of those times I'm busy And then when we get into week four, it kind of slows down and I did not account for there being another week five in april so Back to that. So thank you all so much for watching and budgeting with me Um, we're going to get this budget together. We're going to get it in control. I promise you I'm going to get a handle on these finances. I have to I really have to um, I was watching elaine michelle's video I'm not going to keep you guys But I was watching elaine michelle's video the other day and like you get Basically of how I think um, I can't remember the name of the video But if you follow elaine michelle, you you know the video that i'm speaking of But basically you get tired of being sick and tired You get tired of not having what you need and when I hear and spending frivolously on things that you kind of don't need So like I've been buying, you know planner stuff like I really want to just go buy a bunch of planners I don't know why But I have got to speak some sense to myself because when you get older and especially in my predicament of being self-employed I have IRAs, but I just don't pay into them. That's another thing that I'll be adding to here's my IRA I have stock that I don't Basically buy a sale trade do nothing with it. It's just sitting there. I've invested the money and just sitting there Collecting dust pretty much because I'm sure it's not gaining any money But you have to have a backup plan, you know, especially self-employed Um, if if youtube is your full-time job, you need a backup plan. You need to have some money sitting somewhere Um, just period. So I'm getting on the ball and I'm gonna I'm gonna basically just really Nail myself to the wall on this because I'm tired. I'm I'm tired. It's it's no need and no sense in me making I'm thinking it's not a lot of money But it's no need to be making this type of money and not having anything to show for it But some pretty paper and whatever and I sure it ain't even clothes. Trust me I haven't worked clothes because I can't fit anything but I need to Okay, I'm not gonna hold you guys, but thank you so much for watching and I will see you in my next video. Bye
