Hi Stef, great bwm! You know the bbp digital comes w monthly pages.. u could use those months when u print out the bbp sheets to use for your happy planner.
My Hobby Lobby just redid the planner section starting last week. A lot of Happy Planners for $7.48... half were the big size. Most just started in July!!! Then just recycle the extra pages.
Have you thought about making your own monthly planner? Etsy had monthly planner downloads as well! I was looking into that as I could not find a planner I liked as well.
I’ve always been able to find a cute one I loved but I’m thinking this year I may try and make my own cover and dashboards. Eek we’ll see lol 🥰🩷💜 great suggestion to check Etsy! Thanks my friend! 💜🩷🤍
She sells the paycheck breakdown sheets as a tear off pad! And you can always get just a simple “monthly” planner and combine that with the tear off sheets!
Hi Stef😊 I love your planner layout and stickers!! If there is money sitting in my account I tend to use it too 😢 Thank you for bringing us along on your budget planning 🩷
I was skeptical with the discbound system but have LOVED it this year. I also use the pdf TBM. I purchased the Boardwalk Ice Cream HP in the monthly layout. Less waste and I like the dashboard and task lists that come with it. I get the 18-mth for the larger discs. The Boardwalk design is on sale for $11! Happy shopping! Can't wait to see what you find.
Oh gosh I love the discs especially as a lefty. It so nice when you need extra pages of something or none of something else. I checked out the clearance ones too. Nothing catching my eye yet. 🥰🩷💜
Girl make or buy your own cover/dividers! I've been thinking of doing that so I can switch the covers out for the seasons. I also always buy the old planners when the new ones come out because they are such a steal and I sticker them up anyways so it doesn't even matter the dates are off.
You could always just create a template in canva for your happy planner instead of purchasing another one especially since you don't utilize the other pages
I didn’t realize you were a Happy Planner girl! Me too! I just followed you from my planner account. Yay! I am having the same struggle as you…I didn’t care for any of the big planners from the new release. They do have a clearance one I might get. And yes, that is my FAVORITE whiteout and it is getting harder and harder to find. It makes me sad!! Thanks for showing how you budget!!
Oh yay thank you for joining me there. I haven’t posted in a good bit. I need to get back to planning. But I’ve love planning my monthly spreads for sure in my budget book. I’m so sad I can’t find a good planner I love this year. I’m hoping I can make some cute dividers or something. 🥰🩷💜
I have the same issue with happy planner lately! I ended up buying a big pack of 32lb paper (which is what they use) and buying a printable planner in big happy planner size on Etsy. I already had the hole puncher from happy planner. I've never been happier! It's much cheaper and you get what you want.
Oh that’s a great idea looking on Etsy. I love happy planner because of the discs but just not finding one this year. So sad 😭. I really just need a cute cover and those monthly pages 🤣🤣. Thanks for the suggestion of looking in Etsy! ❤️❤️❤️
I just love your monthly spreads … so cute and decorative and happy!😍 If you find one that just has the monthly spread and dividers, let me know!😂😂Great budget breakdown my friend … we’re struggling too, but are so blessed to still be able to save each month!🙏🏼💛
Thank you Caryn! I love decorating them. I found some covers on Etsy so I might try something like that. I need to figure it out quick. I’m down to my last month 🤣. Absolutely, we save what we can with what we have right 🥰🥰🥰
So many have said the same. I can usually find at least one but nothing this year. I’m gonna try and make my own cover this year. We’ll see how it turns out 🤣
Great video!! You r one of my favorites to watch. I do have a question, I recently lost my husband (June) so I'm really trying to stick to a budget, do you really just use what's in your wallet for spending each payday?
Oh I’m so sorry to hear about your loss my friend. ❤️. Thank you for your kind words. I do my very very best to stick to my wallet spending. It’s one of the reasons I don’t mind stuffing a higher dollar amount into our spending. It’s pretty high compared to what I see most budgeters stuffing. I think the key is setting a realistic budget to your spending habits rather than just trying to set what you think you should. I hope that makes sense. We’re definitely not perfect every time though. When I first started cash budgeting I started with my 1k emergency fund and a $500 checking buffer. So I do keep a buffer for overspending because it definitely happens to us all. Hope that’s helpful ❤️❤️
It is pretty similar. I just love having a fresh binder for the year and happy planner has such cute dividers for the months. I might see about making something of my own 🥰
Love your planner and stickers 😍 & I also have that issue with leaving money in my account. I'll just spend it in things I probably don't even need 😂😂😂
Great video 💜💜💜

Awesome thanks for the tip. I have to run up to hobby lobby tomorrow so I’ll definitely check it out 🥰🥰🥰
Well done.

So true! I checked my hobby lobby for clearance and nothing. But I definitely might make my own. I need to upgrade to a laminated that does 10ml. 🤣🥰
Great job!!❤❤
You could always just create a template in canva for your happy planner instead of purchasing another one especially since you don't utilize the other pages
That’s a great suggestion Jenny! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
😊😊😊
Ooh I love your cute blue Calculator where you get it❤
Whoops I look in your Description and found the link
Thank you! Yay, glad found it. They have lots of color options 🥰

Hi Stef. If you’re not going to deal with cents which I get it, why not leave off the zeros to have a less cluttered spread? Just a thought.
I wish my brain would let me! 🤣🥰
I don't see any I like either for the fall happy planner release! 😢
So many have said the same. I can usually find at least one but nothing this year. I’m gonna try and make my own cover this year. We’ll see how it turns out 🤣
@stefsonabudget I've made my own before. Just need thicker lamination otherwise it's floppy!

Yes it does. Thank you!@@stefsonabudget
Why not used the TBM monthly calendar pages? It looks the same as THP, does it not?
It is pretty similar. I just love having a fresh binder for the year and happy planner has such cute dividers for the months. I might see about making something of my own 🥰
Love your planner and stickers 😍 & I also have that issue with leaving money in my account. I'll just spend it in things I probably don't even need 😂😂😂
lol I can keep money in an envelope for eternity but put it in the bank and forget it 🤣🤣
Me again. Also no need to write the word bill… they’re under the bill column already. Make it easy on yourself 😊

Just as I was thinking to myself how beautiful your handwriting is - you commented how terrible it was 🫢
Oh lol isnt that how it always goes 🤣🥰
