Hey There
I hope you have had a chance to get in and have a poke around the Grandma’s Jars budget application.

Like any new software using it is the only way you will learn.
I know I have said it before, but I will keep saying it, if you get stuck with anything please get in touch with us and ask. There are no silly questions!
One of the most important yet hardest parts of setting up a realistic budget is figuring out what all your expenses are, so as promised yesterday here is your first training video taking you through the 4 tasks we give to all our coaching clients to help them identify their expenses.
One of the main reason most budget’s fail is that people don’t take enough time to truly understand what all their expenses are.
If you thoroughly complete the 4 tasks outlined in this video you will have the foundation you need to put together a successful budget.
If you haven’t done this before it will be an eye-opening experience…
In tomorrow e-mail I will share with you a video outlining the: ‘Ideal bank account structure’ to support your budget’
Kindest regards

Hey There
I hope you are having a great day.
Have you started recording your expenses yet? It’s scary how quickly all those little spends on a daily basis can really add up!
As promised yesterday below here is a link to a video outlining the ideal bank account structure to support your budget.
Your bank account structure will either help or hinder the way you manage your money.
Most people have a mish-mash of accounts that they have just accumulated over the years, each account made sense at the time but now… well, it’s a bit of mess.
One of the keys to taking control of your finances is to have a bank account structure where every bank account has a specific purpose and the flow of funds between those accounts is deliberate.
So here it is: The ideal bank account structure to support your budget (no mortgage) The ideal bank account structure to support your budget (with a mortgage)
Please, whatever you do not underestimate the power of having the right bank account structure when it comes to saving money.
This is such a powerful part of the process that I require all of my coaching clients to commit to adopting this strategy when I take on. Yes, it can be a hassle to get it set up to start with but believe me, it is well worth the effort!
In tomorrow’s e-mail I will share with you the answer to a question I get asked all the time: What income figure do I base my budget on?
Kindest regards

Hey There
Today I want to share with you the answer to a question I get asked all the time and that is:
“What income figure should I base my budget on?”
If you are a Salaried Employee this question may not be such a hard one to answer. But, for many people, budgeting is made that much more complicated by a fluctuating income.
So please find below 3 links to training lessons on how to identify which income figure you should use to budget to:
Budgeting to a regular income
Budgeting to a shift work / penalty rate income
Budgeting to a seasonal income
As always if you have any questions about this please do not hesitate to get in touch with us
In tomorrows e-mail we will take a short break from the lessons and instead I will ask you the one question I ask everyone I meet…
Kindest regards
Phil

Hey There
Over the past few days we've looked into how to best identify all your expenses, the income you should budget to, and the ideal bank account structure to support your budget.
So, in this e-mail I thought I would take a short breather from the lessons and ask you a question that will help me to understand your needs better.
The question is simply this:
What is the #1 money / financial struggle you are experiencing right now?
Please provide as much detail as you are comfortable to provide.
Your answer will help shape the content of future e-mails and training I would like to send to you.
So please click reply to this e-mail and help me get a better understanding of what you are struggling with right now.
Kindest regards, Phil
P.S Please be assured my team and I will not share your answers with anyone????

Hey There
I hope your week's off to a good start.
One of the most common questions we get at Grandma’s Jars is:
“I get paid weekly (or fortnightly) so why do you recommend I budget to a monthly cycle?
So, in today’s training video I will share with you the 3 reasons we recommend that you budget to a monthly cycle regardless of whether you get paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Budgeting to a monthly cycle
The good news about working to a monthly cycle is that the Grandma’s Jars application will do all the conversions for you, daily, weekly, fortnightly (bi-weekly) whatever …
As you enter each income and expense into the budget it will convert them all to a monthly figure so that you can make an objective comparison between what you earn and what you spend.
Just one more step to get you on the track with your budget plan.
Kindest regards
Phil

Hey There!
Despite having acquired 15+ years’ experience as budget coach, building a budget application proved to be so much harder than I ever imagined.
Figuring out how build different functionalities into the system did my head. Even now, 3 years and a small mortgage later, we still haven’t got it all quite right!
So, the next few training videos are going to focus on features of the app that aren’t quite as intuitive as we would have liked.
You should also find this lessons page within the Grandma’s Jars application itself.
In today's video I want to share with the difference between an ‘Active’ and ‘Inactive debt’
Inactive and Active debts – what’s the difference?
I hope that has made sense, as always if you get stuck with anything or have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
You can do this by:
Clicking on the smiley faced intercom icon on the bottom left corner of the application
You can hop onto our Private Facebook Community and ask questions, or:
You can send us an e-mail to support@grandmajars.com
We are committed to your success.
Kind regards,
Phil
