Also, if you can, set your bank account up for Auto-Pay if you decide to live in an apartment for all of your bills, rent, etc. It makes it soooo much easier, and I wish I would’ve done that instead of running around town like a chicken with my head cut-off paying for everything at first before I realized technology is our friend x3
When I was working at a restaurant, I used the envelope method for funneling all of my tip money into each category. Then when my check came, I used the mobile deposit app. Once all of my quotas were filled, I ran to the bank, deposited my tips, then paid either online or by phone for my bills.
My electricity bill is $62.00 this month. I have $120.00 in cash on hand, I also have $45.00 for Internet. And damn, my gas/petrol is low. I’ll need like $15.00. I also have a fine ass girl I need to feed. And by that, I mean my cat–I also need to eat too! Let’s go to Taco Bell!
Now you have $24.00 for each category! You’ve knocked out some of your electric bill, your internet is more than half-way, your cat has that new bag of food, and you’re chowing down on delicious, delicious, tacos. Yum.
Granted, I’m sure you’ve noticed that there will be funds left over. You get to decide what you want to do with those. Whether you get closer to your quotas, or maybe put them into savings/another category, the choice rests with you!
I’ve only had one finance class my entire school career, and it was boring as hell. We started with filling out tax sheets xO
I wish they would’ve taught us in a fun way how to do things. That’s how I learn when concepts are simple and you can mix-mash it the way you want. Don’t turn me into another factory worker, America. I’m already vomiting up chunks of my stint at community college. Trade school is my rehab.
