Welcome to the first episode of our Mini Money Management Bootcamp! Today, we’re diving into the foundational step of aligning your budget with your personal values. Managing money is more than just setting limits; it's about creating a path toward the life you truly want. In this episode, we explore how to define what matters most to you and how to make your budget work to achieve those goals.
Episode Highlights:
- Why Money Management is Key: Earning money is just the start—managing it effectively is what moves you closer to financial freedom. We recap five steps from Episode 4: choosing a budget, tracking spending, choosing a debt strategy, automating payments, and doing monthly reviews.
- The Power of Values in Budgeting: Learn why sticking to a budget is easier when it aligns with your values. Before setting a budget, we recommend starting with an exercise to help you clarify what’s most important to you.
- "More of / Less of" Exercise: Inspired by Erin Britt of the Budget Effect, this exercise involves listing what you want more and less of in your life, revealing the values that should drive your spending decisions. This approach can make budgeting feel purposeful rather than restrictive.
