The one thing that you need to remember, that's probably the most important while you are creating your budget, or when you first start budgeting, is that you want to know that it's going to take at least three months for you to get your budget squared away.
When you start, it's not going to be perfect, it's going to be messy, you're gonna make mistakes, and it's okay. I just want you to give yourself grace for that and know that you don't want to feel that you didn't get it or you're not smart enough or anything like that – that's not at all, it takes three months. It also takes that amount of time for us to be able to create this habit of doing it.
My husband and I have a budget committee meeting at the end of the month (the last Sunday of every month) because I create our budget at the end of the month as I only pay us one time a month.
We have this budget committee meeting every month, and we decide what is going to be on our budget and what we have to take out. If there's something that we hadn't remembered, we look at things from last year, or something that might come out twice a year.
If you need help with your budget, then you can schedule a free consult with me.
I'm excited to talk to you! I want you to not be nervous about scheduling a call. I know that talks around money are very nerve wracking, and sometimes feel embarrassing. But you know what, you're never going to get past where you are, or make a change unless you get some help to do that, because we don't know how to get out of that. Otherwise, we would have already done it, you know. So we weren't taught in school – a lot of our parents didn't teach us.
You want to make sure that you feel comfortable talking to someone, and that's hard as well.I want you to feel comfortable with me. I want you to feel comfortable that you can trust me with your finances and that I will help and guide you so that you can be the hero in your story and get your money turned around; get your life turned around and see what it's like on the other side.
So again, the very one thing that you want to pay attention to or remember while you're budgeting when you start your budget, is that it's going to take three months for you to start to get it to be right – I don't want you to to be hard on yourself or anything like that.
And like I said, if you want to schedule a free consultation with me, and you can schedule it and we can talk about your stuff and then you can decide if you want to continue.
