Snag Our Simplified Budget System!

Budget besties, do you ever feel like budgeting takes forever? Like, who has time for that when life is already a whirlwind? Well, good news: we've got five quick and fun budget fixes you can do in just five minutes—because who doesn’t love a quick win? 💃

Sometimes, making small changes adds up big time. So, whether you're waiting in car line, chilling on your lunch break, or standing in line for coffee, you can start making smarter money moves right now!

1️⃣ Rename Your Bank Accounts – A little name change can make a big difference. "Emily’s Wedding 2026" hits different when you think about using it for takeout, right? Create fun, clear labels to keep your savings on track.
2️⃣ Delete Saved Credit Cards – If you have to get up off the couch to grab your card, are you really still buying it? Add friction to impulse spending by removing saved payment methods from Amazon, Venmo, and anywhere else that tempts you.
3️⃣ Hide Your Savings Accounts – Out of sight, out of mind! If you’re not seeing your savings every time you log into your bank app, you’re less likely to think of it as extra spending money.
4️⃣ Use Notes on Transfers – This is a game changer! Add a note every time you transfer money so you remember exactly what it was for. Future you will thank you. 🙌
5️⃣ Delete Shopping Apps – Amazon, Target, Lululemon, PayPal… if it’s on your phone, it’s too easy to spend. Take them off your home screen and make yourself be more intentional with purchases.

💡 Bonus Tip: If you have your debit card number memorized (we see you!), get a new card so you can un-memorize it. You’re welcome. 😆
