happy reset, friends 💘 what is one of your 2024 financial goals? my goals template & budget template are 30% off in January: www.selenatrevino.com/shop
I have two big financial goals this year! One is to max out my Roth IRA and the other is to save for a trip to Japan this year! Thanks for the video, Selena!
I am privileged in not having debt (except internal debt I feel towards my family), but that comes with the lack of .. well anything. I'll graduate grad school with a gifted car but nothing else truly to my name. No credit, no nada. It brings freedom and also the feeling of being lost. No idea where to start so I really appreciate these detailed templates and guides.
I have your budget spreadsheet from when you first launched it. I am still sticking to it. My main financial goal this year is to pay my car off. I've had some rough times this last year but still paying off debt slowly. Love these reset videos ❤
Hi Selena! This is the first time I'm watching your financial reset videos and it's changing the way I think about finances. I've always wanted to "be on top" of my finances -- and have tried many times and failed. But watching you go through your finances makes me want to try again, so I purchased your template and can't wait to start anew in February. Thanks for sharing!
I have a few financial goals, first is to build my emergency fund back up, second is save for a trip to Italy next year, and the biggest is to get a higher paying WFH job. Im SO over the in-office grind. My current job slowly went from 100% remote to 100% in-office in the last 3 years. It's just not for me anymore!
Yay I was looking forward to this! I picked up your template recently and was having trouble figuring out what to update each day/week/month after getting things set up for January, so seeing bit more detail about how you use it is fantastic!
Yay!! Make sure to grab a snack or coffee bc I do go more into detail in the budget section since I’m setting it up for the year/january 💗 hope you enjoy and find it useful if you have any questions after watching feel free to comment here since I’m sure the responses will be useful to others too!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! You have made me become more financial aware. I am a Latina too wanting to do what you did as well (move back from the east coast to the west coast) to be with family. You are my role model!! ❤
This was good Selena! Been watching your budget videos for a lil while and always liked how you track. The Budget Tracker looked simple enough for me to keep up with so....I bought it.
Also a fed and new homeowner, I love your budget and goals! I just put my 5% increase completely to my TSP but haven't been doing ROTH and need to look more into it. Also recently got my student loans forgiven, my biggest financial regret is listening to skeptics and aggressively paying off all of my undergrad loans when i could have saved more for my home, only grad school loans were left to be forgiven, but hey, it's something! my advice to anyone in public service is just pay the minimum and hang in there! those ten years will be here before you know it!
Thanks for the overview. I actually just recently purchased your spreadsheets. I had my own that were pretty simple so I look forward to a more detailed look at my finances and goals. I am working on paying off my car loan so I will just have my mortgage debt and for a small remodel of my laundry room. Thanks Selena!
Hey Selena, I have just bought the budget and goal templates. Please have in mind that not all of the buyers are from the states. I had to do some reformatting of the currency and I hear the business template will include a formula for the taxes that is legit for the USA only. Maybe a more generic one will be useful for the whole audience :)
I know but luckily for the budget template a lot of the formatting is super easy to do! Unfortunately since I work a 9-5 and do all the managing myself it’s really not possible for me to spend too much time on this creating formats for separate countries. However, I can definitely try to make the business tracker more generic, not sure how that will work tbh but I’ll think about it!
First time watching your video! Im totally following! Im planning on buying a home with my bf this year in chicago. Last year i improved my credit and paid off 4 credit cards 🙌 im loving this content
I admire your mindset at such a young age but also don't forget about your health and fitness there's no point in having anything in life 1st comes your health ✨️ ❤blessings to you.
Update coming soon. I can’t really be active For the next year possibly due to my injuries so unfortunately the fitness part is not something I can prioritize too much atm.
I'm looking for the computer lights and checked your office essentials and didn't see them. I want some for my TVs also. I love light vibes! Also love that Aveeno body spray oil; I recently started trying it too. I live in AZ and have constant dry skin. It's the best.
Sorry about that! I added the LED light to my Amazon storefront now, under my WFH essentials 🫶🏽 thanks for letting me know, since I got them recently I forgot to add 😅
Very inspiring! My goals for this year are to grow my RUclips channel and increase my finances. I’m first gen grad and trying to navigate adult hood and finances and continue to grow 😊
me and my husband share income, do you think this template will work for us too? i have been loving ur budget videos! love the transparencies!!!! congrats on being a homeowner! we are looking into home buying very soon and want to budget better for our goals.
Yes I think so! But of course it depends. But I don’t see why not. You could simply add your monthly income or you could add each paycheck as the sum of both your paychecks, there’s several ways you could do it! It really depends on how ypu manage your finances as a couple but only you know that :)
Hi Selena! I'm working on setting up your budget tracker 2025 and I'm confused about the utilities category under flexible expenses. I personally categorize all my bills, utilities, and subscriptions as a fixed expenses and would love to know how you use that category in the flexible expenses section. Thank you!
@@jessikalynorozco the reason I put utilities as flexible or variable is because the cost changes for me monthly depending on usage etc whereas fixed expenses, for me, don’t change in cost, they’re the same monthly - such as subscriptions, phone bill, WiFi, etc. the cost is fixed. But for my electric, water, gas etc, I have to enter the varying mount monthly, which is why I keep it as variable or flexible.
For spreadsheets, do you ever just delete them after the month/year is over? Or do you keep them stored on a folder? I’ve always wanted to know what people do with the old spreadsheets.
i want assistance. I'm confused about savings . bcz the money i save end on spending to visit home country (that seems important to me bcz i miss home country a lot ) . but i hv 3 kids & sometimes i get worried that I'm not saving for their education so what to do how to manage
Nope it's for all classes and access to the other things! You can run on manual without the subscription and basically just track your time and distance.
Hi Selena! I am having a hard time with getting what I entered into my “bills tracker” to show up on my monthly budget. I can include the categories I entered from the category drop down, but it doesn’t automatically populate the amount. Is that correct? Do I need to type in all the amounts into my monthly budget when I’ve already included them in my bills tracker? I think I must be missing a step. Thank you!!!
Yes you do still need to enter into your monthly budget! The only part that autobpopulatesnfrom the bills tracker is the category name I believe and subscriptions, but that's a different tracker.
What is your education .? I notice on your video , you said your education was worth it the student loans . In my case it wasn’t . I have. BBS. Bachelor in Business Science . With a debt of $50,000 Currently looking to change carriers And I was curious about what you say on your video . Any tip it’s very much appreciated Thank you Gracias
B.S. Economics & B.S. in international studies, minor in Business Administration. It has opened doors for me and changed the trajectory of my entire life and I’m so thankful! With that degree I got paid internships across the country in Washington DC, after college, I got a full time job with the federal government in DC and still working in DC but remotely so I moved back to oregon and bought a house! That’s my story and how I used my education to get to where I am. But I get that it’s not like that for everyone and some ppl can do extremely well for themselves without an education too!
New Subscriber here. I just came across your channel and I am so excited to be here. I can learn some things from you. I love this video and your channel.
@@SelenaTrevino thank you! I love your vlogs- the day in the life and sit down ones! You’re wise beings your years! Think I’m going to use your link to buy the stand up desk!
@@elizabeththompson1525thank you so much!! Filming a vlog today to catch up, should be up next week 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 trust me you won’t regret it, this desk is amazing and honestly the price right now is a STEAL!!
Unfortunately I am not a financial advisor and can’t tell you what you should do in your situation. Personally I don’t buy stuff on my credit card that I can’t pay off with my normal paychecks by the end of the month.
I know this may be off topic, but why is it so hard to get a job with the federal government when you/I have a masters and 13 years of healthcare experience
Yeah I homestly don’t know, I think it depends on every situation to be completely honest. Atleast what I was told when I was an intern is that the fed gov really cares about prior gov experience bc working as a public servant is very different than working for corporate America, so if you haven’t already, consider doing a gov internship or volunteering for the gov, I did 3 federal internships before I graduated college and then landed a full time gov job. And that was after applying to 30+ federal jobs and 100+ other DC jobs. It’s hard. And especially if you wanna live in DC, unfortunately a lot of employers there don’t just look at experience but also WHERE you got your experience and WHERE you got your degrees and WHAT your degrees were in. Because it’s the nations capital, and because you’re looking at FEDERAL gov, it’s highly competitive compared to applying to local gov. Maybe try applying local/state in addition to federal jobs? Also idk how long it’s been that you’ve been applying but with a federal job it’s normal to not hear back for 3+ months!
Not rude at all, still trying to get used to my new mic/camera set up! While it’s an upgrade it’s also a learning curve bc the mic definitely pics up more digitally than my old one. 🥹
You don't have to! You're not the one buying the house lol. Also I bought the house alone, so it's my house, technically we did not buy together! You should watch the whole series, it's a good one 🤪

You can do it! those are great financial goals, one super responsible and one so fun! hehe
@@SelenaTrevinoquestion: Since you bought the home, does he pay half the mortgage with you?
@@alexarivera9076 not half but def a part!
OMG I am saving for a trip to Tokyo this year as well ❤
@@WealthIsFreedomBudgetsall the best. I live in Japan and it's great 😃👍🏽.

I bought your tracker last September and it has helped me so much! Thank you for making it. 💙 My big goal for 2024 is to pay off my CC debt! 💪🏽
YES GIRL, let’s goo! That makes me so happy, I’m so glad it’s been a useful tool!! 😭🫶🏽💗👏🏽 you will pay off that CC!!!

All Google sheets can be downloaded/exported as an excel file now! you can google how to do that if you’re unsure but it’s pretty simple 💗
What is the lights you have in your room?

Nope it's for all classes and access to the other things! You can run on manual without the subscription and basically just track your time and distance.

Is income the take home amount or gross?
Take home! Gross is never added to a monthly budget because you can’t budget what you don’t actually have to spend, if that makes sense :)
