Millennial In DebtThe budget only works when you work with the budget. I take myself on a monthly money date (I talk about this in chapter 1 of my book) and look at my numbers from the previous month while also setting up the numbers for the next month. But that’s NOT where it stops! At the midway point I check in to see am I on track, way below (which isn’t typical) or way ABOVE budget. If my numbers are really off, I know that life is probably life-ing and I need to make adjustments. OR I know that I’m doing a little too much “treat yourself” talk and need to reign it in. That is the beauty of a budget. It gives me the flexibility to live while helping to keep me financially accountable to myself. What your October numbers looking like? If you’re not sure — this week is a perfect week to check in with your budget to see what needs adjustment for next month — the start of traditional chaotic holiday spending . . . . . . . #millennialindebt #budget #onabudget #howtosave #howtobudget #personalfinance #financialfreedom #financialliteracy
