This audio gives me chills. Getting to where you

This audio gives me chills.

Getting to where you want to be financially can feel isolating.

You feel like you keep saying no.

You’re the friend who “isn’t any fun anymore.”

But always remember:
The road less traveled leads to destinations less seen.

You will be victorious.

You will be who you want to be.

You will break the chains.

Who else needed to hear this today?

Financial self-care Sunday 😊⁣

Snagged some new Park Lane stickers today and I’m loving them!⁣

☑️ Meal plan⁣
☑️ Unique expenses listed with their budgets⁣
☑️ Little reminders of the savings transfers to initiate and the CC payments to pay off from Friday.⁣
⁣
We only swipe our credit cards for things in our budget, and we use the cards occasionally to tap into points and travel rewards! I think one day we may swipe our CC for pretty much everything, but I need to create some new inserts to help me better manage that first 😅⁣

👀 inside our “state of the union” 😂⁣
⁣
While the video probably screams otherwise, our money chats are not formal at all 🤣⁣
⁣
They’re usually 5-10 mins, once a week, while the kids are finishing up their dinner (I like for them to hear us speaking positively about money and budgeting). ⁣
⁣
Probably once every 3 months I run investment/debt payoff projections and let him know where we stand there. He finds it riveting 🤣😭⁣
⁣
More context:⁣
🔸We have *almost* fully combined finances. Our joint checking acct takes in all income and fuels 95% of our budget. That last bit is split 50/50 into Hubby Funds and Wifey Funds (individual checking accounts).⁣
🔸”Cool down laps” are budgets where I let up a little on investing/savings efforts so we can have a bit more fun money.⁣

Do you have money meetings? What do yours tend to look like? 😃 Drop one emoji in the comments to best describe them!

😐 This why money is taboo right here. 🤣

Where our money went 🤓

Thanks to the Google Sheet, these worksheets only take me 5-10 mins to fill in.

When I’m all done, I highlight focus areas to make the 2-page spread a little easier on the eyes.

The primary intent: verify we’re still on track to meet our money goals! I mainly look at investing to make sure it’s the highest percentage, and the areas that are competing with it. A 25% savings rate (investing rate, that is, and based on take-home pay) was our average in Q1 so we’re working to get back to that.

Note: the percentages are based on money that went out. They are not percentages of income. It’s quite easy to track that, though, with earned income explicitly outlined up above.

Our food spending is quite high right now, and I won’t even blame inflation. 🤣 Meal planning/execution needs sharpening. It’s that simple. When we peak $400 over budget like we have, the cash envelope comes out to help us build discipline.

In the end, the entire budgeting process start to finish brings me peace and excitement for the future. We’re not perfect, but we work hard and manage our money with intention 😌

Tell me something you’re proud of from your July finances in the comments! 😃

✨Workbook hits the BB shop at 9am on Aug 26! The Google Sheet comes with every workbook purchase and is a $30 value. Mark your calendar! 🤩
