RECENT YOUTUBE VIDEO

It's time for another Real Life Budget. We asked my readers to submit their REAL information. Real spending, real debt, and real savings goals.

I am taking those real-life numbers and showing you how I would organize and budget that information using my Budget By Paycheck® Method.

In this video, I will be showing the real numbers from a reader, Ghofrane. She is a digital marketer and currently lives at home with her mom in Belgium. She is wanting to save enough money and be financially prepared to move out for the first time. For this Real Life Budget, I am breaking down the steps I would take to prepare for that expense! This is also the first Real Life Budget we have shown in Euros.
