    😮 oh so THATS how I can put them all on the same sheet 😂 gosh I got your bee prop money when I first started and been doing one a page then using the cut paper for things like notes and grocery lists for my wife 😅 thank you for this 🎉❤

    • @rainydayapril
      @rainydayapril  Год назад +2

      Ohh no! I'm so sorry. Another good tip is that you can print specific values. So if you need 4 $20s, select the page number that $20 is 4 times. I showed this briefly in the how to print video. But it works so great for prop money and getting the right denominations you need. ☺️

      I think the tracker and how you use that matters quite a bit. I tried using a digital tracker and I got confused. I'm starting with a physical tracker. It just makes it feel like I'm more in control. We'll figure this out together!

    I am an all Prop or digital budgeter. I much prefer to use the money that looks real. I like the two sided aspect of it and the fact that it looks so real. I do also use the Place Holders for larger denominations like 200, 500, 1000, 5000 etc. Good video.

    I think I want to try out prep money. Where I live. It cost money everytime you draw them from the bank, and you can't insert alot money without you have to dokument where you got it from, so it is easyer with prep money🤩

    I'm curious hom how the prop money works with making everyday purchases like groceries. Do you have a "spent cash" sleeve to store the prop money while out of the house? Or do you balance your books at home?
    Very cute set up. Thank you for the very informative video.

    • @rainydayapril
      @rainydayapril  Год назад +1

      Hi Emma! Thanks so much for your comment. I have a budget/stuff video here that explains it: ruclips.net/video/l4ZVK8eEtg0/видео.html
      I have a reloadable debit card that keeps daily purchases aside from other funds. The card is not only reloadable, but once the funds are gone, they are gone. So it helps keep me on budget in many ways.

    Thank you for the awesome information! I have learned so much being a part of the Hive 🐝!!! I did have a question about the laminating? If you cut after laminating, will they still be sealed on the cut side?

    • @rainydayapril
      @rainydayapril  6 месяцев назад +1

      If you print a full sheet and laminate a full sheet, then cut. It should not pop the sides. But if you try 2 sheets and cut across the paper, you will pop the seal. I've only had success with one sheet. I also recommend double laminating to ensure the seal is tight. I've ruined a LOT of paper and laminating trying. But you'll get it and find what works for you. 💛
