Money Money Money Money

It's the Sundays!!!!! Woo hoo! Let's become better together!


SO today I'm going to talk to you guys about something I absolutely suck at ..... budgeting!!!

Today I got another lecture from my parentals about spending; the crazy part is, i've actually been trying really hard to save money, however, things just don't seem to be going the way I want.

After some reflecting here are a few solutions I've come up with to cure my spending problem.

1. I need to live BELOW my means

Meaning just because you have enough money to buy that new thing you want doesn't mean that you should. Or in my case just because I have the money to go out to eat with my friends doesn't mean I should go every time they ask. One of the realest quotes I've seen on instagram said "you don't want to be the person that has an 1,000 dollar purse but doesn't have 1,000 dollars in it!


2. Check your bank accounts often! 

Another one of my issues is I don't frequently check to see how much money I have. Not checking can cause us to over estimate the amount of money we have which can sometimes lead to overdraft!


3. Read what God says about spending money

The "You Version" Holy Bible app offers many plans which are esentially different bible studies for everyday. One that I am doing right now is called "financial fitness". It is such an awesome study and really looks deep into what God wants us to do with our finances.

4. Spend your money on whats best for you not on what's popular 

I recently had the option to choose between the iphone 6 and the galaxy s6. I went into the store certain that I was going to get an iphone. The best buy worker asked me what I wanted in a phone and I told him an amazing camera because I want my blog, social media pages, and vlogs  to have good quality. He then showed me the drastic difference between the iphone camera and the android. The galaxy had the better camera by a long shot! My mind was racing: "But i didn't want to be team android.... all my friends have iphones ... and a lot of times people make fun of people when they see the green messages". But then i realized WHO CARES! I have to do whats best for me not what others think is best for me ...... in case you couldn't guess i'm now #teamandroid.

I know that may seem like a simple example but it has taught me a lesson I will take with me when it comes to buying clothes, cars, homes etc. You HAVE to do what's best for you! And besides who wants to be basic and have what everyone else has lol.

So yeah guys I hope this post was helpful! Comment below with some of your best budgeting tips!
