In recent weeks, this term, loud budgeting has made its way into the mainstream conversation. So, which camp are you in - shouting loudly about your money goals, or would you rather keep them to yourself? I think we need to talk about it. It’s Friday, and typically, I answer an Ask Shannah question, but this week, something came to my attention that I thought we should talk about instead. So many of you have sent in questions about budgeting, how to do it, how to make it work, and also some questions about how to manage the fears around budgeting - what if you go over budget and someone knows about it or judges you or shames you for how you spend your money. I’m glad you feel safe enough to share those thoughts with me. Money is emotional, and in everyday society, it doesn’t feel safe to talk about those emotions - maybe you don’t even correlate those feelings you have with the underlying cause - money. So that brings us to this idea of loud budgeting. It’s certainly a catchy phrase, but what does it mean, and will it work for you?
