Gamechanger! SAVE and SHARE! 💛 I used to Goog

Gamechanger!

SAVE and SHARE! 💛

I used to Google and pull up a fresh online debt payoff calculator when I wanted to find my debt freedom date or if I wanted to see the impact of an extra payment. I would get so frustrated entering everything back in and while some calculators were fine, I haven’t found anything as robust as powerpay.

Shout out to the brilliant minds at Utah State who built this platform and continue to make it better!

My top recommendation for paying off debt is to follow the debt avalanche method. With this approach, you tackle your debts from highest interest rate to lowest interest rate. So month to month you pay your minimums on everything of course 😅, and anything extra you can throw towards debt goes to the one with the highest interest. Credit cards will cripple you if you don’t stay on top of them, and even a small extra payment per month goes a LONG way.

Had you heard of this tool before?

I teach PowerPay and budgeting in greater depth in my memberships, and you can become a member when you purchase a Beautiful Budget Workbook 😃 It’s the only budget planner + membership duo designed to help you save, crush debt, and build wealth while still leading a life you love.

Budgeting isn’t sexy. But the results are. Eee

Okay but she’s killing it!⁣ ⁣ She currently

Okay but she’s killing it!⁣
⁣
She currently has her paycheck auto-contributed in the following way:⁣
65% to checking⁣
15% to emergency fund⁣
20% to savings⁣
⁣
I recommend sending 100% of her paycheck to checking. She has a healthy EF and her savings schedule will change over time based on her goals, side hustle income, overtime, etc.⁣
⁣
👉🏽 You should always budget based on when you’re paid! I show full month budgets in my walkthroughs simply for greater illustration of progress over time. She should break this up into Oct 31st-Nov 14th and Nov 15th-30th.⁣
⁣
Anticipating these questions:⁣
🔸Rent $800?!⁣
🔹I’m almost certain she lives with a roommate! I didn’t clarify but that appears to be a partial payment. ⁣
⁣
🔸What worksheet is this?⁣
🔹This is a 2-page spread pulled from the new watercolor floral Beautiful Budget Workbook. Check out link in bio to learn more and grab yours!⁣
⁣
🔸Why do you have 401k under investing? Didn’t that already come out of her paycheck?⁣
🔹I manually added her contributions back into her income so that I could see them in the investing section. This gives her a more comprehensive view of her investing!⁣
⁣
🔸How would someone organize all those savings?⁣
🔹I recommend a high yield savings account with some sort of buckets feature built in. @ally has a fantastic one. (She already has an Ally account 🥲)⁣

The budgeting method that changed my life: The 8-Part Budget™️

A prioritized list of 8 areas of your finances that allows you to direct your money in a winning order every single time you get paid.

The template includes:
- Expenses (bills, minimum debt payments, variable spending like food)
- Emergency Fund contribution
- Extra debt payments
- Investing
- Saving
- Giving/Family investing (e.g. 529 for child)
- Fulfillment Portfolio™️ for the family (things ALL parties prioritize and enjoy)
- Fulfillment Portfolio on an individual level

This budgeting approach helped me lead my family in paying off $74K in debt, investing $125,000, and paying cash for a wedding, honeymoon, and 2 vacations to Europe - all in 3.5 years. I believe so much in the framework that I built a workbook around it. The Beautiful Budget Workbook is linked in my bio!

The 8PB cuts out the guesswork of what to do next with your money.

It propels you towards meeting your financial goals.

It’s zero-based, so you give every single dollar a job.

It’s great for beginners and seasoned budgeters alike.

This is a one month budget.

Income
🔹She’s paid monthly, he’s paid bi-weekly. I would recommend budgeting bi-weekly as a result. (I show full months to better illustrate progress over time.)
🔹You’re seeing their take home pay plus her 401k contributions added back in.
🔹They also receive $1,200-$2,000 commission checks at the end of the month. I didn’t include that here, but I would put that towards their final cc assuming interest is going to kick in in the next 6 months.

Debt
🔸Two cards have 18%+ interest rates. Two have 0%. The higher rate cards have to go ASAP, so I recommend reducing their EF to one month of expenses to get to a better place overall. This allows them to crush their high interest debt entirely, in one go.

In the months following this budget, putting $1,000/month towards the EF would certainly be manageable, while also putting about $2,000/month towards their final card. Again, I’m assuming 0% interest isn’t going to last much longer. This gets them down to only low interest debt remaining after about 3 months (student and auto loans).

Once the final card is paid off, they can really press on the gas with investing/saving. Saving will be crucial so they don’t fall back into the habit of swiping their credit cards. There is so much that we CAN anticipate financially.

👉🏽 Workbook shown is the watercolor floral Beautiful Budget Workbook - linked in bio! It’s based on my signature framework, The 8-Part Budget™️, which prioritizes your financial areas FOR YOU. No need to guess where your money goes next.

Is it weird that sometimes I crave one of these? 😅

I was a mayonnaise gal myself. 😁😂

Let those babies see you treat yourself too, mama! You’ll be teaching them the balance you want them to have when they get older.
