311 | Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck: A Fresh Take on Budgeting with Financial Freedom

Snag Our Simplified Budget System!

Hey Budget Besties! 👋 We’re bringing you one of our all-time favorite chats with the amazing Kali Brigam from the Tick Talk podcast. This episode is packed with juicy financial insights on how to finally get a handle on your money without giving up life’s little pleasures (yes, you can keep your pumpkin spice lattes!). Whether you’re tired of living paycheck to paycheck or you’re ready to crush debt and set big financial goals, this conversation is for you.

We are breaking down our go-to strategies for mastering your finances:

• Budget First Steps: Start by grabbing your bank and credit card statements from the last 90 days, grab some highlighters, and start tracking where your money is actually going. Spoiler alert: You’ll probably be shocked at your restaurant spending 😬 but that’s okay—we’ve all been there.
• Building a Simple System: We explain how to set up separate accounts for bills and spending so you always know where your money is going without the stress. Imagine a world where you're not surprised by your bills each month, and you've got money tucked away for that emergency flat tire! 🙌
• Zero-Based Budgeting: Find out how to plan your paycheck down to zero on purpose. We’re all about telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.
• Make It Fun: Budgeting doesn’t have to be boring! Set a budget date night with your spouse (beers and spreadsheets anyone?), or even make it a solo event with chocolate and good tunes.

🎙 Kali’s takeaway: Budgeting is about freedom, not restriction. It allows you to spend confidently, save for the future, and live generously without stressing over every penny.
