How to Give Your Budget a Makeover

Do you always start the month with a new budget and high hopes, only to forget about it a few days later?

Is your problem sticking to the budget instead of creating it?

Or maybe you have completely given up on the thought of a doable budget?

If your current budget or budgeting process isn’t working, it’s probably time to give your old budget a makeover!

In this episode, I’m sharing some powerful ways to revamp your budget and make it as effective as possible for you!

Remember, a budget takes work, so commit to seeing it through and it’ll become second nature in no time.

 

Here's a glance at this episode:

• [01:55] Creating long-term budgets doesn’t always work as well as intended. Start with a monthly budgeting routine. 

• [04:59] Having a “close-by” savings and Miscellaneous category in your budget can help you if unexpected expenses pop up.

• [09:35] A budget doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Your budget should include fun! 

• [12:25] Constantly overbudget? Where is that money coming from? Are you going into debt or tapping into savings?
