Hey April, happy to see your channel growing. I love that you are able to show other options for people not using cash and that savings is savings. I am grateful to see this because once my spending is more controlled plus debt is gone....I will be digital or hybrid. So happy that I got my 3 new scratch offs in the mail 💌 🐝♥️🐝
It's nice to see you, Angel! 😇 I know our relationship with money isn't an easy one to control. Especially when everything around us promises a "better life if we buy this" ! But, you can and you WILL get out of that debt. Little by little 🌷Thank you for being here! 🐝💛🐝
@@Johnbudgets No worries :) I was using Penly for Android as my annotation app. But really any annotation app will work. Good Notes for Apple. I believe another Android one that's free is called Xodo. There are a bunch :)
finally someone who does it digitally. wish that was considered a low income in the UK, it's more than most nurses get in the UK, I only get slightly more and I'm considered on an above average income. We couldn't buy a property on that income though (I'm jealous lol) Do you no buy clothes, go out at all, have hair cuts, travel etc. Maybe I've just missed where there are.
Hello there :) I know it is definitely harder to find a property in the UK than the US. We purchased our land first, put in the septic, water, electric, etc. and then we placed a very modest and cheap mobile home on our property that we are still fixing up to this day. 😅 I do not buy clothes often, when we do, they are usually 2nd hand or on clearance deals. I do cut and dye my own hair. And we do not travel. If we do travel, it's once every few years. We do go out to eat sometimes, but I usually use my Savings Challenge funds for that. Or my husband buys/resells things on the side for "extras". I do admit that I am changing some of the things we budget for in 2024. I learned my Christmas calculations weren't perfect this year (if you watch my latest video, you can see). But, overall, we are not extravagant spenders anymore.
I used to have a tablet for work but my dog Mick ate it. 😅 I think maybe i will put it on my fathers day list. 😂 I need to get it together. Geez. 😆 I will have to watch these videos a couple times to really learn 🧐
Oh! I'm so happy that you are enjoying digital/prop stuffing! I will be working on doing this every month. It helps me keep up with my own 😊 Thanks so much for spending time with me.
I do digital budgeting but use prop money for all the things I do. As long as a person is diligent about tracking it can work. Yaaaa, on meeting the Monetization threshold.
I do love the digital tracking but I’m just getting started so I’m really not sure what I’m doing. June 3rd is my payday and that’s when I’ll get started. I do have my binders and I’ve printed off some free challenges and I’m looking forward to seeing what I can tuck away. Thank you for your tips and tricks. Have a blessed day 🐝
Hi Lisa! It has taken me a few months of trying random different things before I found something that made sense for me. My advice is to keep adding something in and trying different ways until it works for you. It's definitely a process. ❤️
Hi April. I am curious to hear more about what lead you to become more digital when budgeting and what guidelines you use to find the best reloadable debit card for you. Love the channel. Keep up the great work. ❤
HI Amanda! Thanks so much for your questions! I will definitely touch more on them in a future video. But I did want to answer best I can for you now. I was a cash stuffer all last year and it's great. It really is! But I was having a few issues, the biggest one being that my bank is 25ish miles one way. Driving that far for the cash was starting not to "add up" (I gotta use budget puns haha) The reloadable debit card.. that's definitely going to have to be a video (a few people have inquired) and the right one for you truly is dependent on what your needs are. For me, I chose the one my bank offered. My reasons were it's insanely easy to move the money (1 button in the app) and there are no fees if I use it 5x a month (which I will easily using it for our daily purchases). Thank you again for taking the time to comment! ♥️🐝
looking good April. You are getting the hand on this digital stuff. You should copy your categories to your originals. That way you don't have to write them in every time. When you put new ones on or delete a category it is easy.
Hey Dottie! Yes I did. It is available in the Etsy shop. You can print on paper or import to your tablet. I'm trying to create things that work for both 🐝 ❤️
I never saw your reply until just now!! Haha ignore my other comment! I left another comment asking about the holographic effect but it looks like you already answered me! I would love to see a video on how to do that it’s so beautiful! 💕
Hello April, new subscriber here from the UK. Love your videos. You are so creative all your products are beautiful. I am so happy I watched this video and to learn you do digital stuffing as well. I do a combination of both but the prop money is a fantastic idea and it can used along side savings challenges and trackers. Love your videos so pleased I have found you guys. X 😊
Well not sure the make or model of your car but I just spent $1014 on a new set of Michelin tires for my SUV through Costco. They recommended an alignment check up so when I went in for my oil change I asked for the alignment, also needed a new battery so that was another $605 at the dealership. I was able to put the tires on my Citi Costco card and pay in full from my digital savings for car maintenance. Did not expect the new battery and alignment but was able to put on my Citi Double Cash rewards credit card and cash flow the full amount with my June 2 check😊. Wow that car maintenance fund is getting a work out but glad to have it ❤. Also would love to purchase your physical money place holders. Are you selling them already made?
Stuffing saves the day again! That's awesome 😊 I am sorry, but I do not sell them made. But I do sell them as downloads, and I also have a video on how to print them 🖨
Hi April, Great video! I have your prop money but mines don’t sparkle like your do. I would love to learn how to make it sparkle. Thanks for sharing and as always great content.
You can make them sparkly by applying holographic sheets. I have some linked in the "make it yourself" category in our Amazon storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/2sisterbees I'll also do a quick video soon explaining the process. ☺️
Hi April I love the 2SisterBee content because you're keeping it real for us by sharing your personal struggles; having great products to assist in cash stuffing and finally having suggestions for being able to save more. My hats to both of you for really doing your research and providing quality products and solutions. What kind of card stock did you use for the money? I love the sparkle text.
Kat! Thank you so much! You've made my day ❤️ I like to use a heavier card stock for the prop money. I use an 80 or 100lb card stock for them. You can use any brand really. I was laminating them, which makes them easy to thumb through, but it dilutes the sparkle from the hologram. So, I am just using the holographic stickers on the front. 🌈
@@rainydayapril That's awesome; they were so pretty. I've already bought the pdfs from your shop and I'll make mine the same way. Do you have any 2sisterbee recipes that make your grocery budgets go further? Also, I hope you eventually pick up a career in graphic design; you are really good!!!!
Hey Tracey! Welcome aboard! 🐝🐝 All the items I'm using (including the tablet) are listed on our Amazon storefront under the "Digital Budgeting" category: www.amazon.com/shop/2sisterbees
How did you get your prop money to have that holographic effect. It’s beautiful so tempted to buy the digital ones in your Etsy but I know they won’t be as pretty. I would buy those physical ones!!
I think you saw my answer already - But just in case someone else reading this wants to know as well: You use a holographic sticker sheet and then cut them out. I'll be doing a tutorial for this! 💛 Thank you again for your question!
@@rainydayapril yes I saw your response to my other comment! Thank you so much for your reply I can’t wait to learn! I will buy these beautiful prop notes and print them out and wait for your video to make them beautiful ❤️

Okay so for your paper trackers (not the pictures), is the goal how much you want to have in that account? Or how much you want to put into it that month all together? I get paid weekly so I'd "stuff" Weekly so I'm trying to wrap my head around if you're doing a month's or a bi weekly thing
Hi 👋 I'm not sure I'm fully following what you're asking. But to do weekly over monthly, you use the sheet every week. Mapping out bills that are due that week that get paid. Carry over or save any extra to the next week sheet. ☺️
Hi there! A few people inquired about this and I think I'll try to make a video about it for you guys. It truly is a decision based on what your needs are. For some people, it's something they would use in place of a bank. For me, it's what I use to keep myself on my daily-life budgets. So, I went with the one my bank offers because I can transfer the budget to it easily and there are no fees if I use it 5x a month.
@@rainydayapril Thank you! I, too need it to keep me on track day to day. I’m on a low fixed income after losing my job of 32+ yrs and being 60. I started researching reloadable debit cards and became so overwhelmed! I look forward to your informative video! Happy Sunday!
I have a question about your prop money. What do you print it out? As like I tried to do mine as a full sheet and it didn’t work. It was way too big if you could help me out that be greatly appreciated.
Hey Sarah! I did a whole video on how to print prop money. You can use the time skips in the description box to head straight to the how to print area. Here's a link to the video: ruclips.net/video/SxiLX7pGFEA/видео.html
When you first import the files to your app, make a "master copy" that you do not write on and put it in a folder. Then whenever you need blank sheets you have not marked on, copy a sheet from there to your budgeting folder.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day
Thank you for watching! I hope you have a great day too!
