To keep herself accountable, she posted about her budgeting experience on TikTok and her videos soon went viral.
In the first year of her budgeting journey, Jasmine could pay off $23,000 (£18,810) in student loan debt and clear her medical debt and credit card balance, she told CNBC Make It.
Having seen the interest from fellow social media users, and establishing a huge following (she currently has 634,000 TikTok followers), Jasmine launched her business Baddies and Budgets.
The entrepreneur knew she would be getting a $1,200 (£981) stimulus check, and spent it on a Shopify account, shipping supplies and materials for cash stuffing products.
