Hey, budget besties! In this episode, we're diving into the essential first step of budgeting: rediscovering your financial dreams and figuring out your "why." We share heartwarming stories, practical steps, and motivational tips to help you envision a future that excites you. Let’s get back to dreaming big and setting the stage for financial success!

Key Takeaways:

1. Start with Your Why:

   • Reflect on your financial goals and what you want for your future.
   • Keeping your "why" in front of you helps stay motivated.

2. Visioning Exercise:

   • Take time to dream again. Think about what you want for yourself and your family.
   • Use a long-term perspective to set exciting goals.

3. Practical Steps:

   • Write down your goals for one year, five years, and retirement.
   • Break down what you want to accomplish in each timeframe.
   • Keep your goals visible to stay focused.

4. Real-Life Inspiration:

   • Hear about Luke and Tina's journey from living in an RV to setting clear financial goals.
   • We share our personal stories of planning for future trips and retirement.

5. Integrating Dreams with Budgeting:

   • Ensure your daily budget aligns with your long-term goals.
   • Use budgeting as a tool to achieve your dreams, not just a chore.

Memorable Quotes:

• "You have to know your why. If you don't have an end goal, you don't show up for it well."
• "Take a step back and think about what are we excited about? What do we want?"
• "Dream again. You used to be so young and excited with big goals. We want that for you still."

Action Steps:

1. Vision Board: Create a vision board or write down your financial dreams. Include short-term and long-term goals.
2. Daily Reminders: Place reminders of your goals where you'll see them often—your bathroom mirror, car, or workspace.
3. Budget Alignment: Review your budget to ensure it supports your goals. Make adjustments as needed to stay on track.
