Budgeting is hard. You feel like a mess. You feel overwhelmed.
When bills come in the mail, doesn’t it seem like you just paid them already? Wait, it’s already been a month? How did that happen?
You’re paying late fees because you missed the due date by a few days. While your children are fast asleep, you stay awake worried about not having enough money.
You feel stressed out because you don’t know how much money you really have. You have debt but it seems like you’ll never pay it off.
You’ve tried budgeting before but it never worked. You’ve tried budgeting on paper, Excel, and online. But nothing ever worked. Nothing has stuck, not for more than a few months anyway.
You hope things will get better but it never does.
Your financial situation won’t improve if you don’t take control of it. Your situation won’t get better if you do nothing about it.
Stress less, spend less, and feel more in control of your money and your life when you see your money clearly.
When you write things down, something magical happens. You become more aware of what’s going on. You spend less.
When you set specific financial goals, you’re more likely to stick to your budget.
My story:
I used to feel overwhelmed with my finances. Every month, there were so many bills to pay and I always lost track of when I paid them and when they were due. It was super stressful
I was really overwhelmed by everything. On top of taking care of my family and managing this blog, I felt like I didn’t have time for budgeting.
Then I decided to do something about it, once and for all. I wanted to take control of money instead of it controlling me. So I created these Budget Printables – something super cute to keep me motivated but also easy to use.
I felt like tracking daily expenses was a pain so I made it easier. I created a worksheet that has dates and expenses already filled out. So all I have to do is fill in a number, the amount I spent that day. It can be done in 10 seconds.
It only takes 10 seconds a day to manage my expenses, our expenses. My husband is doing it now too. OMG! This is such a transformation for him and for us.
Now we are both aware of what we spend on a day-to-day basis and because of it, we spend less. Because we have to report it on the Daily Expense Tracker, it keeps our spending in check.
And our bills, I write them down in the Bill Pay Tracker once and I’m done. For bills that come a few times a year, I track them in the Non-Monthly Bills Tracker. Now I know when each bill is due so I don’t freak out about it anymore. I don’t feel surprised by bills anymore.
I feel more in control of my money and not as stressed anymore. There’s something about writing things down that subconsciously works with your brain, making you more aware of things.
