I’m going to try incorporating cash envelopes, but will it be a success of a failure?

Episode 4: Low Income Budget Series – February Budget + January Fail

Published on by ChaoticCritic2 Comments

One of my goals for January was to consistently create content for Chaotic Critic and I am so proud that I have ben able to do so. One of my favorite series that I’ve created here on the blog this year is my Low Income Budget series. I’ve been bringing you all along on my journey to financial freedom. It’s easy to write down my bills, but it’s skill and discipline to not only pay but to keep expenses at a minimum. Let’s not even get to savings.

This post is all about my February budget and what I failed at in January.

Welcome to episode 2 of my low Budget Income series. This edition will be a closer look at my 2018 expenses. That’s right, all the details (well as much as possible). This episode is important to see just where the hell my money went in the first place. So, taking a stroll back through all my statements (January to December) to what was spent on my debit, nor just bills, I’ve been able to come to a decisive conclusion.

Published on by ChaoticCriticLeave a comment

Welcome to a new series here on Chaotic Critic. This time is a little different, we’re focusing on finances. My finances to be precise. This is an area in the planner community that is growing with the likes of Shay Budgets and E. Michelle, but as a whole, financial freedom is usually on the back burner. I decided to title this series a Low Budget Income Series as that is exactly what my income is. Hopefully you’ll stick around for the ride. Buckle up!
