How do you feel about the word “budget”? I often encounter people who tell me that they can’t budget or won’t budget. At one point my husband even told me that he would never budget! 😲
Most of the time people associate the word budget with negative thoughts such as:
🚫 I can’t go on vacation.
🚫 I can’t eat at restaurants.
🚫 I can’t go out and have fun with my family or friends.
🚫 I can’t go shopping.
Some people simply feel like budgeting RESTRICTS their life.
I view budgeting differently. A budget allows me to make a plan for my money so I CAN do the things I want. My husband and I went on vacations, ate at restaurants, had fun with the kids, and more while we were paying off debt. My views on budgeting:
🤩 A budget gives me permission to spend.
🤩 A budget puts me in control of my money.
🤩 A budget helps me reach my financial goals.
