Budgeting with Lisa

Hi! I am Lisa. I am a single mom of a 13-year-old son. I work full time however my one income has not been enough for me to save any money for emergencies or to pay off debt. I found myself continually living paycheck to paycheck with barely anything left. At the end of 2024, I made the decision to radically change my spending habits and learn how to budget my bi-monthly paychecks. I am very inspired by the cash stuffing method to save and pay off debt however, I am using a hybrid system of two checking accounts, multiple savings accounts and cash to stuff into savings challenges. In an everything is digital day and age, I am getting more and more comfortable handling cash and paying with cash. My Budgeting with Lisa channel is a way to stay accountable to my debt payoff and retirement journey.
