 everyone and welcome to Norris Cove. Today you guys we will be doing our paycheck to paycheck paycheck budget or weekly check in as it is for me. So let's dive right in. I'm not gonna stall y'all out today. Also I'll be doing my monthly May budget. This is my monthly layout in my two page calendar. I went ahead and did that but we'll be doing the breakdown and so that'll be the next video that you see. I did go ahead and kind of set my budget planner up. I just wanted to kind of feel like how I wanted it to go. Oh yeah we need to do a review of last week you guys. So last week was April the 25th through May 1st. We estimated here at $750. Hold on. I thought I filled this in. I think I did it for the month. Let me check. Let's look at here. Let's go to the salon portion of my A6. I'm glad I haven't cleaned that out yet. So we did 883 last week. You're all going to be surprised at the monthly number but you should kind of guess at how I've been coming in over 750 for each week besides one week when I could have did more. Nails we didn't do any nails last week. Norse Cove. Oh I have that number. What did I do with it? It was like 156. Let me see. It may be on my monthly. Let me let me switch over to the monthly right quick because I know I put. I can't remember what we did last week you guys. Isn't that a shame? Well we'll leave this at 50. I don't think we I think we might have did a little bit above 50. I gotta check. We'll just leave that at 50. No miscellaneous to my knowledge and let's see what we got. I didn't make a sale or two last week and thank you to those who order the paycheck to paycheck and the monthly budget. That way we can do it together when I'm budgeting 883 plus 50. Those were my only income last week. 933. Again this is still a guess but I'm thinking we did a little bit more. I do have some things coming to the shop for my budgetors. I'm going to set up my website so that all of the budget and income and finance things are all in one place where you can find them. You don't have to necessarily search everything. So we did your PayPal. They came out and car insurance came out. GoDaddy came out, clocked in paper, which we were putting money aside for that to come out on the first which it did. Amazon I think that came out today but those scratch that out. So everything came out so we did have $552. I'm not gonna lie to you guys. I spent a lot of money last weekend. I didn't even add it up. I was just and I went out of town. My niece had her baby so I did go to Richmond so she was due to have the baby. May 5th they were going to take it because he was a breach. He decided to come six days after my birthday. I was so excited. So I went last weekend so I don't necessarily have to go this coming weekend so that's going to save me some money but that was the breakdown of last week. Also let me just subtract from what I thought I would make with the differences. I don't think I would do that. A difference about $100. $93 so cool. I probably blew that. All right so let's get into this sleeve. Again I got my highlight here. It's looking a little faint but this is how I add a little color. So if you did purchase this you want a little color. You can always add stickers. You can add color. As a matter of fact I won't put out some of my favorite stickers to show you guys how to use it. So we are doing May 2nd through I think it's the 9th. Let me check. All these calendars are around here and I just can't get it together. Hold on. Here it is. There's one right here. I'm going to bring my own. Let's see. May the 2nd through May the 3rd. Okay first off here that is our number one, our bread winning source of income. So you guys I've been looking and noticing that I'm coming in around 800. I'm a little scared to go to 800 but as I say if you write it down you kind of bring things you know about. But I'm going to stick with 750 but I will be upping this soon on a weekly basis. I'm thinking I'm getting a raise. Also one of my clients from pre-pandemic came back. So that is a blessing. Nails I do have two clients this week. I'm going to put 60. I don't think they're getting anything major done. Nor is Cove. I don't think I'll have any new releases this week. I'll just put Zip for right now but that always changes and then I'll do miscellaneous. Okay so next up we have bills so the first actually let me go to the calendar so I just don't be guesstimating all really nearly. On the first well actually the second. Community. Community and I've already paid them and I think I gave them. Community got paid somebody. Oh I think I gave. Y'all hold on I can tell you. Let's see. What did I give community bank? I gave them 40. See that's why it's good to have more places than one and somebody got 50. Credit one. Credit one is due. So let's just order your sheet of Shopify. I didn't look what Shopify was but the last time I checked I think we're going to be about $60. Let's just do that and when it changes I add it over here. I'm going to start putting a sticker over what it is. So we have Shopify then we have on the fourth Walmart. This is the first of the month. This is when most of my little credit cards I do. Credit one. So Walmart I said I was going to give 52. I don't know. Credit one. I gave them 50. I paid them early because I wanted them to come out with the extra money I had last week. So I've already paid them and on the fifth we have uplift. That is if you all remember I got my daughter some flight tickets and I was just you know didn't want to beat the deal and I was a little low on the money and so uplift. I think that payment I want to put it at 40 and I need to put that in my planner that I need to kind of go in and pay that. Let's see uplift and then Canva is due on the seventh and Canva is $13.77 but let's see what I got here. So over here I have uplift. Then I have booth rent. See I have to double check that. Booth rent that'll be the seventh as well and that is 250 and Shopify uplift Canva. Okay so that seems to be about everything. I actually did this last week you guys. I filled this out last week so I could be kind of prepared. So let's do our math. So we have a total of 503.77. I'm gonna go ahead and highlight again down here to add a little color let that dry. So I'm paying about 500 or something dollars a week in bills is what it's looking like and I don't know how I feel about that. Like I don't want to pay so that means I need to get some bills now. Then I think I told you guys I got a Southwest card. Pray for me. I was determined not to use it but I went and bought some products with it today. I only spent like a hundred and fifteen dollars so I said that's easy for me to pay but I'm not going to run the balance up. Okay let's subtract. We can do this which is 810. Our total is 810 here. So let's subtract 503 from 810. That leaves us with 306.23 and as I've stated before I am not a zero-based budgeter. I have to do a budget that works for me. I would love to be a zero-based budgeter but I just can't but I'm keep writing down that I want to put 25 dollars a week in my savings. So I'm going to continue to write that. I don't do it but I'll eventually do it. I'm trying to get in the habit of adding groceries, an envelope for groceries. I didn't do it last week because it was a lot going on with the baby and all this other stuff. I had a lot of other stuff going on. I worked late a couple of days where I normally don't so there was a lot of eating out and went to lunch with my co-workers one day so I didn't do groceries last week. So that extra money was gone. So these two things I'm going to definitely try to do and if we take the 306 and we subtract 125 that leaves us with 181. Let's put these totals here. I may hear my dog barking but he's okay. 181 and I leave this because like I had to get gas last week so I need to get gas probably this week. I have some other little things going on. A friend of mine's birthday is Friday but what I'll give her won't come out of any money. I'll just pump her out with her hair a little bit give her a little discount on her hair or something like that. But that is our weekly budget. So I'm thinking hopefully we can come a little bit above the 810. This right here nothing will change. Now the only thing is because I kind of took last week's money let us set an account to pay for community and credit one. So those two bills are already taken care of. Actually they should be coming out like tomorrow. So I'm going to just go through those. So now I just need to pay put the money in my account for Shopify uplift because those come out of two different accounts where they came out of the same account but not the account that these come out of. That makes sense. And so I need to just transfer money over there for that. Canva and really will be done. As I stated before I'm doing so much better. I was talking to my sister about it like when you know better you do better and I've grown and now I don't touch a certain amount of money because they're preparing me for the following week. You know that way I can't say oh I don't have it for a long period of time I said I didn't have it but clearly I did. So yeah sometimes you just have to make your budget work for you. Now you can try out someone's budgeting the way they budget but something you may have to tweak it to make it your own. I love Dave Ramsey's concept. I love the budget mom's concept. The organized money concept but I have to do what works for me. So some things I may pick up from them like the thousand dollar emergency fund. I love that idea. I think everybody has that idea. I love that idea of that being your starting one but for me it's a little harder because I need more. You know so it's just harder for me to do that but so now for me I just think 500 is good. So I'll go over the fundamentals of my budgeting mindset as some other point. I'll probably make a whole video about it. Probably show my face all that great stuff and that way because I know I have some entrepreneurs. I know I have self-employed people who follow me my nail techs my hairstyles and I just wanted to make sense for us you know especially us because getting cash tips and all that stuff on an everyday basis money can fly straight through our hands and I just want to make it simple for us so that we can have something especially my young entrepreneurs my young self-employed people because been there done that I should be a millionaire I should have million saved but I blew so much money so I don't want you guys to do that. I want you to learn from my mistakes. I want you to be better in your finances and have tons of money when you get to my age.
