Current Budget
Having a consistent and measurable budget is the number one way to make sure you stay on track for your financial goals. It is impossible to save your money and have it grow when you don’t know how much you make, spend, and have left over.
As my income and expenses change, so too does my budget. I update it every month to make sure I make progress towards my goal. Check it out below, and hopefully, it inspires you to build your own budget!
