[@millsjenna8606]

Hey Selena thanks for sharing awesome tips!, my word last year was determination and here we go this year with CONSISTENCY . I’m happy to be financially free and currently growing a solid retirement plan. It takes a positive and consistency to learn new things, unlearn the old habits ms Important to get a mentor/coach to lead you all the way. It’s great to start young too!

[@gracedaniels6172]

Hello I'm 43 working on my retirement fund too What do you think is the best target for retirement?

[@eiraantoinette6793]

A lot of people find having a coach /financial advisor a luxury

[@millsjenna8606]

@@gracedaniels6172 personally I think 1m is the goal to overcome inflation and having them in an inv estment p ortfolio is a perfect plan. I'm half way to my goal 😊

[@millsjenna8606]

@@eiraantoinette6793 yeah. Fees and commissions are factors to look at in search for financial advisers. There’s financial experts out there who do not look at their fees but the impact and intrinsic value they bring along to you no matter how little you want to start. I’m glad I had one guide me start my financial journey

[@louis-freddieceaser8811]

I'm trying to read books about finance, budgeting and saving. Looking at having a good financial advisor. Can you recommend?

[@lizethgurrola9532]

In my opinion the length did not matter because it was entertaining. I think many of us can agree that you going into detail on your template allows those who purchase to feel comfortable using it.

[@SelenaTrevino]

Thank you for your honest feedback 🫶🏽 it truly helps so much!! And I did do my best to be thorough here since my template is new! Also, I’m excited for monthly resets bc I’m already thinking of ways to make it better and anyone who buys it, I’ll show y’all how to update it yourselves month to month!🥰

This year is all about getting out of DEBT which means paying down my credit cards and preparing for an emergency fund. I'm excited, and am learning so much about how to budget. Excited for you, for us, and 2023 We got this ya'll! :D

[@alessandraerika6951]

In the past, I've gotten templates and never followed through... because I never took the time to fill them out and I'd forget. But 'sitting' with you each month and doing my monthly reset (both for goals and budget) is exciting stuff. Can't wait to see how I go this year. I love it! Thank you and hello from Australia ✨

HI! I totally loved the video and the way you explained your template. I am an accountant so I was able to understand the concept of personal finance much better, perhaps for people who do not understand much of the economic environment and finance it would be better if it were a little simpler or easier to apply. That’s just my constructive opinion. I love your videos and you are a great inspiration.

[@SelenaTrevino]

Thank you, I appreciate it! I think it’s pretty simple. Well, I did my best to make it functional and easy to use. There are instructions in the template itself and I’ll also be using it in my monthly resets, so if anyone is ever confused they can always follow along and/or. Ask questions in the comments ❤️ I appreciate your feedback, thank you so much!!

[@SelenaTrevino]

If you have. High yield savings account like wealth front you can save in categories - makes it so easy and your money doesn’t lose value as it would if you saved up in cash! And you would only need 1 account for savings/sinking funds 🫶🏽

[@simplyibby8886]

Hi Selena, I randomly came across your channel while browsing and I want to say thank you for creating this template and explaining how to use it. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for in a digital budget tracker. 🥰. How do I go about inserting more boxes in the expense tracker section? It doesn’t copy your format each time I try it? 🙏🏾

[@freshprogressbeauty]

Thanks so much,@selena! Can you add a net worth tracker

[@SelenaTrevino]

You're so welcome! Well see, I don't care much for my net worth and for many in middle class it's not usually positive reinforcement bc net worth is based
On assets and liabilities and the average American has thousands in debt.
I think its counter productive to focus on net worth and more productive positive reinforcement to focus on debt pay off, savings, and investments separately.
Buying a home for example would drastically reduce someone's net worth, depending upon whether that property is an asset (investment property) or a liability. Though, if we're being honest, unless you buy a home cash, it is 100% a liability until it's paid off!

Hi , I am using your spreadsheet for the first time and are wondering if there are any way to add more custom categories for expences? I would like to add a catergory for parking and other stuff

[@SelenaTrevino]

in what section? Variable or fixed expenses? For fixed expenses, add the category in the "trackers" tab under "bills & fixed expenses" to add categories under the expense tracker, simply add a category under the monthly reset tab itself under "variable expenses" hope this helps!

[@ElsaMiranda-tp6lq]

Hey! I've purchased both of these and have been trying to use the monthly budget template but I can't stick to it, what is the easiest way to make it a budget by paycheck budget rather than monthly, i am worried of messing up all the formulas you've added.

[@SelenaTrevino]

I would say the easiest way would be to enter each paycheck as a separate “source of income” per month. Then when you’re budgeting for your paycheck, only enter the bills you plan to pay for with your paycheck. OR, if you have an average income you tend to make or an estimate of how much you think you’ll make in your 2 paychecks, just estimate that and make your budget off that for the month, then go in after and add what you actually made for each paycheck for the month.
Example:
*income summary*
Paycheck 1
(budget): $1000 (actual): $1250
Paycheck 2
(Budget): $1200 (actual): $1500
That’s why there is the “budget” and the “actual” Columns.

Is the budget spreadsheet adaptable to google sheets? I don’t have excel and honestly don’t wanna pay for excel.

[@SelenaTrevino]

It is 100% google sheets, actually!! 🫶🏽 when you purchase, you’ll get access to a PDF with the link to access the google sheets template so you can make a copy to use!! That’s why I made it google sheets and not excel because anyone can access google sheets, and it’s nice that it’s accessible from any device with internet conmection!
