I'm your new Budget BFF, a thirty-something dog mom nestled in a cozy cabin near Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. I love fall leaves, fancy lattes, good podcasts, and budgeting.
Yes, you read that correctly.
I. love. budgeting.
Was it always this way? Perhaps... I remember saving $40 for my first pair of (super cool) rollerblades when I was just 10 years old. This experience taught me the value of managing money.
But it wasn't until years later, when I spent the better part of a year developing and refining my signature budgeting system to fit the needs for my husband's business and our personal finances that I realized: Wait.
There are lots of real people out there who never learned how to create a budget—much less one that feels exciting rather than oppressive, fun rather than painful.
There are tens of thousands of people who feel like they never have any money left at the end of the month, even though they know they make decent income. They have a guilt relationship with money, a shame relationship with money, and insecure relationship with money.
And the fix isn’t as hard as they think. As YOU think.
I’ve spent a lot of time perfecting my own budgeting system. I’ve found what works for me, so now let’s find what works for you.
After all, friends don't let friends budget alone.
