I found budgeting by paycheck was keeping me poor. I built up to a month ahead by underspending on my budget and building up the cushion in my bank account until I had a month's income. It took me 4-5 months. It has made such a difference. Life changing.
This my big goal for year.. I listed all bills from smallest to largest. I put a set amount each paycheck and work on just one bill at a time when I have enough for one bill I mark it off and go onto my next one. I'm 2/3 way done! But I made the amounts smaller so I don't stress myself out.. it will take me longer but it's not stressing me out!
Income tax, Christmas bonuses, money saved from coupons when you food clothes other shopping.... If you are blessed to get cash gifts for whatever reason those also...
Hi Kris!! Happy New Year!!! I’m a month ahead on my mortgage and daycare expenses…I did it on paper with my magic month… so when I receive that third check I put it all to my mortgage and it immediately put me a month ahead on paper… I did the same thing when I receive my second Magic month for my childcare expense… you have to be super intentional and not spend the money that’s in the bank, but it was a fast way to get ahead with my two largest expenses!!!
This video is full of ideas! January is my magic month as well, but I already budgeted that 3rd paycheck for extra money to my mortgage & car note- I will keep this in mind for the next magic month, though. In the meanwhile I'm going to go back to the zero out challenge you mentioned. Thanks Kris! 15:15
This video is right on time, me and my hubby were just talking about this. We used to be a few months ahead until unemployment hit both of us last year. We’re in recovery mode now and re-strategizing. 👍🏽👏🏾🙏🏽
I definitely plan to start off getting one month ahead in my rent. It’s hard because I myself am low income. This tax season is all about fighting instant gratification and getting my money straight. Thank you for always dropping gems Kris💅🏾
Hi Kris! I keep my emergency fund in a HYSA, and I do a no spend month twice a year. I have been a month ahead for a while- and used a lot of suggestions that you listed. It is not easy, but it is the best advice out there! Thanks!
Great explanation Kris! I am doing the snowball method for my month ahead fund going from my smallest bill to largest bill and using scratch offs to make it fun. I have a bills account that I will transfer the money to. We have the same paydays. Have a great week! 😊❤
Awesome advice Kris! This is a goal of mine this year. I’m working on transferring it out of my sinking funds to a separate binder of its own. This truly helps me get started.
I have a month ahead binder. Once a week I stuff it. Every $100 gets a place holder and goes in my high yield savings. Plus I stay home allot-amazon is a 4 letter word.
Great video Kris!! 😊 This is one of my goals this year. Due to my taxes and insurance on my house increased it increased my mortgage. So, i plan to pay extra to my escrow this year. I dont want that to happen again.
Hi hi new subscriber Claudine here! Great info! Month ahead is a great goal… I’m using my magic month paychecks to do it too. I have mine in cash right now but gradually I’ll move it to a savings account. 🦊💰❤️
I wish I could save money. I wish I had a third payday. When you retired and I’m Social Security and make as little as I do, there’s no such thing as a budget because I have no money left over when I pay all my bills and I prayed the next paycheck I get will come sooner than every two weeks so if I get hungry, I can buy food. They say I make too much to get help I make less than $2000 a month way less. But I don’t need help. I say I’m glad I own my home and I’m glad I own my own vehicle because the white lights going right now I might be living in my vehicle and I know God does not give me any more than I can handle and I can handle it by doing without. I hope this can help someone and make their life easier and make them able to pay their bills a month ahead. Those were great ideas you said and have. I just don’t get any of those benefits. Thank you for sharing and caring and keep up the great work.
I live in Australia and i am on a very low income for over here. I got a refund from something I'd overpaid and I had a 3 pay month in December, so i decided to go ahead and finally set up a monthly budget (usually budget bi weekly along with my paydays). It hurts doing a monthly budget because the bills and expenses take up most of my income. But i will have a couple of magic months some time during the year to do other things with or put in my month ahead acct for extra spending/saving some months. I'm now living on last month's income and it's been a challenge coz i was a bit short of my budget this month, but i got there. Using cash has helped me set up savings challenges and cash envelopes and I'm now planning on saving for next year's spending to cut back on next year's monthly budget! Great video Cin.
When you have a magic month , do you pay your mortgage / rent ? My rent is auto. Every clip,e of years I have overpaid close to 2k in advance . I don’t know if I should / could use that third pay in that magic month to do other things instead of my usual fortnightly bills .
I pay my mortgage the last Friday of the month. But I don’t pay it for the first of the next month, but rather the month after. (For example, I paid my Feb 1 mortgage payment on December 27.) it gives me peace of mind it’s paid, it saves interest, and if I’m unable to pay (vacation, etc.), I have four or five more Fridays to pay it. Each paycheck from my full-time job automatically puts into savings the amount needed for my regular bills. That money is not to be used for something short of life and death. And I use the zero-out to round my checking account to full dollars every week. It might be pennies each week, but it adds up!
Hello Hope all is well. Not yet 1month ahead on all bills. But have a emergency fund ( get money in hours) , a good grip in sinking funds (still going as goals are not met yet)... and some 3months bill paid for reductions... And subscriptions are a no for me.... say no netflix, no extras paying youtube and amazon prime( this as has to be in amazon es... for Portugal 🇵🇹 many things are extra... and now most buys if x or m amont are spend they are free post).... To all out there YOU CAN DO IT Keep safe from Portugal 🇵🇹 😀👍
Hello Kris here catching up...I hope i can save more this year...last year tax refund i didn't spend it bc i save it in savings account to use it towards my kids school tuition bc they go to private school and my refund was exactly the amount of yearly tuition which gets deducted from bank on monthly basis.. but if this year i get a little extra ill save it in sinking funds.
Great video! My own personal problem is that we get paid monthly and don’t have any magic month. Also I am self employed so I always end up owing taxes. It’s so frustrating! Any ideas for someone that gets paid monthly with variable pay? I definitely do the change thing though!
@@kelly10921 hey there! Not sure about your budget but I would look into setting aside a certain percentage each pay to go towards getting ahead. Treat it like a bill even if it’s a small amount. Not sure what your business is but if you get a higher paying job or commission one month, allocate a portion of that money as well. Even if it’s a small amount, it will add up!
I am on a very low income.... here's what I've started doing :- I pay ALL my bills the day i get paid, then take out £400 cash (Leaves me with very little in the bank!)...... = £20 for chicken food and £30 for my cat..... the remaining £350 goes in a 5 week, per month, food budget. This is 5 envelopes with £70 in each..... £10 per day for food, which is far more than necessary for me and my son. As there's no 35 days in any month, I will have at least £40 to play with just before the next payday....... PLUS any £10's I can save for having 'no spend' days. So far, this month (i'm just starting week 3) I have saved £60.....and will have £40 extra as there's 31 days in January. That's £100 already!..... with 3 weeks to go.... This is VERY hard to do the first month......but it's working for me as any cash laying around in my current accounts will get wasted on an Amazon or Ebay basket!. The day before the next payday, I either reallocate the money back into the food envelopes and do something with the equivilent that i don't have to get out of the bank the next time I get paid (savings) OR I allocate the saved cash into other envelopes that i have created (ie birthdays, 'big' food shop, toiletries, month ahead, household supplies etc) and then draw out another £400 to restart over again the next month...... or a mixture of both. I also have a £1 coin per day jar (not to be touched until 1st Jan 2026)..... and also my spare silver goes into a fish and chip take away tub! I repeat, the first month of doing this is absolute murder as there's no spare cash to draw from for other things when you need toilet rolls or toothpaste etc.... so baby cheats the first month might have to happen.
Hey hey rewatching... I'm not a month ahead on every single bill but I am a month ahead on smaller bills such as my car payment lol. I would always pay more then the minimum.. by the time I send my second payment in they're like oh what you have this much do on April the 23rd... I got a month ahead on certain bills when I would have certain bonuses from work.. Also I was able to get ahead on most bills by simply doing the split payment method... still watching... you can also break up the amount for the bill...Such as if a bill is 200.00 divide it up by 5 or 10 even 20 then move on.
Well, Chris how can I do this? because I'm on disability and I only get one check a month and I don't get any magic in any of my months. I don't get any tax returns because I don't make enough money to pay taxes.
