 three check-in I'm trying to stay one point but I have some good news you all I have some good news let me see if I can show you first I'm filming it's late everybody's kind of gone to bed so last week we did a check-in and the total was 1,028 so I set goals I thought it was here but it may be in my everyday carry let me look which I have to whip out anyway you know what I think it's it is it's in the March so here it is I'm gonna zoom in a little bit as much as I can for you without knocking over my camera if you can see here in my monthly I put put down that I wanted to make $1,200 a week in hair it's right there guess what y'all I think we hit it this week I have down my goal is to hit 500 for online 300 in my store which really compared to what other people do that's nothing so I have everything written down if you're new to my channel I'm Yoshida I'm a hairstylist I'm self-employed I run a posh mock boutique I'm a pure romance consultant I also do nails makeup and hair I've been a hairstylist for 27 years so hair styling is my main job where I get paid and how I pay my bills I got basically into planning to kind of rear in my finances to see where my money was going so if you're new to my channel that's a little bit about me and I just started budgeting in February 2019 so now what I'm doing is basically trying to keep a track of my finances so that I can see where my money is going where it's coming from and where I can send it to so I am new to budgeting but I'm kind of getting the hang of it so this is my everyday carry every day what I do that I work I write down who I did how much they paid me I separate my tips well I don't separate them per se but I like to put what I'm tipped in a separate category that way I can see how much I'm making in tips and what bill that could possibly pay this is just my daily reminder of this is what I want to make a million dollars this is my lovely daughter who's in college in Atlanta and she's just a little baby clip here I also make budget stickers and regular stickers clip art stickers I make accessory bows and charms so here is my list so this week I did not put holes in it I just snapped it in I don't know the week went by so fast y'all so I just snapped it in so all I got to do is pull that out so you guys I was so so surprised like let's see Monday I did one person Tuesday I did one person but the totals are astronomical and I'm so proud of myself because when I first started budgeting if you follow me you know that I was I was poor I was spending money and basically not knowing how and how I was spending and where this money was going also I try to do better with my spending this week and keep a track of it also I wrote down when I bought supplies this week was something I really haven't been keeping up with but I do have a budget of $200 for supplies for the month so week three you all so just a rundown we made $1430 $145 that of that was tips so this is my little cheat sheet I'm going to sit over to the side let me get my calculator out y'all I was so sighs all I kept saying was I mean I was so tired I got at five o'clock Saturday morning to go to be to work by 730 and I was so tired and I was just like oh my god I still had my total there for my tips and I was like oh my god I'm so tired but all I can think about is oh I can't wait to get this budget right and that motivated me more to go well I was gonna go anyway but you know so anyway I made $145 in tips this week so my cell phone bill also if you've been following my cell phone bill is astronomical and I'm trying to pay that down so I basically looked this week like I could have took my tips and basically paid on my cell phone bill so that's why I'm keeping track of my tips to see what it could pay possibly I'm it's also close to what I pay in a car note as far as half of the month so all I earned this week was from here I didn't sell anything on posh I didn't do any nails I didn't do any makeup I didn't sell anything from my online store this week didn't sell anything on eBay I'm a hustler okay so I will sit I will make dinners okay this how hard I hustle but anyway so I estimated 720 and I think I was just being modest but I actually made $1430 and I also explained I think in my last video that stick row with me now because I think when I start to make more money I may not be putting it online but I just want to you know be as transparent as I can why I can't let's see so basically what was our plus and minus so I guess the made it 720 what we made 1430 subtract 720 $710 you guys now let me tell you something else I'm trying to do I want to get to the point where I'm paying myself on Saturday and that money lasts me do the week and then whatever I give myself a salary on Saturday everything else maybe go to bills let's say on Saturday I pay myself $200 for the week and then everything else goes to bills and savings and that's basically my allowance or what have you or to pay bills with you know I'm saying so that's why I want to kind of get to so here this is what I made for the weekend that was just my one income nothing else so we had a plus and minus of $710 plus of $710 so I like to do the plus and minus let me zoom in a little bit I like to do the plus and minus because again it lets you know basically where I'm at and what I could be you know putting aside and basically I look back and say where is it who where did I spend it on oh also this week I finally paid I'm gonna go back we're gonna go back into that so that's what I made so the total this week was 14 30 you guys I don't think I've made this in probably years in a week I am super duper excited so I'll just bring that down you all I just could not believe it Saturday when I added up in the loan I made $600 on Saturday God is in the blessing business in the restoration business okay so I'm going back over here so my second card note let's flip into the monthly so this was Saturday the 16th so let's put down I just had some break stickers okay I found my nose pin stickers and some bill dude oh I paid on my credit card and I think I got another one this is my April part of my April kit but I'm just gonna take it out anyway so now my booth rent do stickers I've got to dig in my I've got to dig through my silhouette fouls and find these booth rent stickers because I really like them cuz I hate I'm going to say I hate but I really don't like care for my right just put the 23 since I covered it up matter of fact I can actually pull that up a lot of road on it now so I'm glad to have my booth went do stickers back we got some some of these so this Saturday I think I'm gonna cut this in half so well it's alright so on the 16th we made what was the total here 1430 dollars again I want to get to the point where I can just pay myself on Saturday to last me to the next week I'm gonna figure it out I'm gonna figure it out okay so here one of my goals here was to catch up on my cell bill and pay an extra car note that's gonna be part of a baby stuff the extra car note so what was due this week Thursday I have I can take off check off the 80t in the water bill that would have been late on the and he's allowed just a little bit it had been late on like the 24th because actually I think was due the beginning of the month or last month so I paid that on Thursday so let me put some bill do stickers down it was a Friday no Friday Friday I paid it was 245 in total I can't I know one of them was and what I did was I just cashed out the money to my husband I'm just gonna put water bill and the 80t bill I think the 80 80t bill was like 130 something what I said 245 and then 115 so I paid those on Thursday I paid my booth rent which was 210 oh and I paid Aflac so I paid Aflac let me check them off and I paid $30 to Aflac so a lot came out on Friday this week and what else did I pay oh and I didn't pay my eraser I didn't give Victoria's secrets 80 I gave I ended up giving them I think 50 so I gave them 50 so I'm looking at another credit card sticker because this week I want to give them I gotta figure out with me I can give it to them because car note I don't play around like my car note basically is sitting in my account now even though I'll have some work by then but I don't play about that car note let me explain something to you I don't play about that car note anymore so I'm gonna stick this here another because I need to catch that up because it wasn't balance so I'm gonna send them another 50 or either pay off the balance it wasn't that much oh I bought products to I bought those on Thursday so I'm gonna put this order products down I spent a hundred and eleven dollars really more than that I had bought something for $20 and then I spent 111 it was at $131 so I spent $131 and products on Thursday so at least I got a lot of things done I should have been able to take care of that cell phone bill but for those who are not self-employed and don't understand how it go when you get paid every day and a lot of people say if I got paid every day man I would have so much money no you wouldn't because you would think you would think about oh I need toilet paper oh the baby needs some Pampers or oh I need to get some soap oh dang you know I'm going to lunch today I'm gonna treat myself to lunch today so you know unless you well if you're disciplined possibly so I'm not I'm trying to discipline myself so but when you're broken down to like oh you made $50 on Monday oh $155 on Tuesday oh $60 on Wednesday so when you get small amounts like that the 50 and the 60 I'll say you'll be like oh yeah get some gas so next you know you didn't broke a 20 and then there you are left with $20 or $10 and you're like wait a minute I know I had more money so it doesn't really add up but when you have days like a Saturday like I did with the 600 and then it's there all at once then you see your money then you like okay then you're more scared to spend it but when you get small amounts you're spending little bits and little bits at a time so like on a day like Friday Friday that's when I paid the water bill and 80 T bill because it was a lump sum you know what I'm saying but if it had been just like the hundred and fifty I'm like okay I'm gonna put a little bit aside I'm gonna let that add up with something else so I'm just trying to break it down for you all for us self-employed people so any who back on track so then on Tuesday I have to give my husband a hundred dollars for a personal loan that we have then I have a car note due on Wednesday the 20th and then I have my cell phone bill which it is due I gotta notice it's due and that is too it's 260 something I think I know y'all like why is your bill so high and the sad thing is I have an Apple watch and I don't even wear it I'm paying for a watch that I don't even wear I need to start back wearing my watch so so far I don't need any more products probably for the rest of the month because I stocked up like on colors something I really shouldn't have got the color because I have color and my clients kind of sticks to the same thing but I have a client who likes different things and I'm trying to prepare for her when she does come so I need her to come like next week but anyway I want to do a no spend day so I have a little no spend here and the no spend day needs to be on a building I think I'm gonna make it on Thursday and I like when I fill up my calendar and I stick to it and guess what I'm so excited my daughter is gonna start budgeting I'm so excited for her so she just ordered her first airing contract so yeah so that's how the week went oh and plus that's another thing I send my daughter money so she's getting a roughly over a hundred dollars from me a week so that's God so let's I'm gonna do I'm gonna put down my goal in this calendar so when I open it is here as well $1,200 a week here I know with that means that means I'm gonna make from here so y'all I exceeded my goal so that's really pretty much it so I did get some bills paid stealing chomped at that um cell phone bill but I'm gonna put some chomping to it this week let's start for next week so next week I have now 720 again estimated I think I need to move that up I'm gonna move it to 820 y'all I don't lost on my way down I don't want to run in this room somewhere so yeah so we're gonna move next week up to 820 so let's just sit put that out there in the universe that hopefully we make more than that so so far this month I've made 600 plus seven no no 614 let me start 615 because I'm going with actual plus 028 plus 1430 I've made three thousand and seventy three dollars and there is still two movies left this week and next week so the last month which was February I did about 3500 so I think I'm going to exceed my goal again so I like to keep doing this so that I can see basically a margin of what I'm making each month so roughly in the beginning I think I guesstimated that like 3200 I'm not for sure but I ended up making like 35 something for the month I think my issue was a brain blockage that I was having if you follow me on Instagram if not you should be it's Norris Cove just like it is here and if you follow my Instagram or if you're going to follow the scroll on down and you'll see why I had posted before I started doing stickers I just took a regular notebook and we write down in what I made every week would need to be paid so I've been doing pencil and paper basically planning for some time but just not in this form and when I was a single mom and then right before I got married I was like paying you know all my bills by myself so I had to have some form of a budget and I was making $2,500 a week and I lost a lot of clients I'll get into that story maybe story time one day I'll do a story time if you'd like to know how I lost the clients I'll be happy to tell you trust me wasn't all me but I do take some of the blame but anyway so I was making $2,500 a week so my mind I think was stuck on making the $2,500 you know every week and I felt like oh god that's that was a whole lot of money and that was about 10 years ago maybe and I never really recovered from that mentally I will say I never really now that I think about it in retrospect I never really recovered from that and so now I feel like budgeting and planning is is like therapy for me wait a minute y'all always say I'm not straight okay it's almost like therapy for me so I'm recovering from the loss and I think things are starting to come together and get the ball back rolling because my mindset has changed my attitude has changed about it because it was almost like someone had snatched the rug off from under me and it put me in a very sunken place and I think I stayed there for a while and I'd come out from time to time it's like crawling out of a hole and then you just fall back in so I found planning and I'm slowly crawling back out again and this time I think I'm gonna be out for good so I'm just trying to get my life together and I'm just glad that you all are coming along with me for the ride so let's just hope next week is up again you know I'm still not making any money basically online but it's okay the whole point of this was to see where my hair money was going and what I could have been spending it on and did I buy any oh I did this week but actually today I bought some stuff to make some some downloads to make some stickers for my May and June so I want to get that on the ball but that's pretty much it you guys thank you all so much for watching thanks for coming along with this ride with me as I get this budget together and I will see you all next week with week four check in bye
