Advanced Budgeting Tips

Advanced Budgeting Tips

Mastering the art and skill of budgeting will result in you ending up with more money than you need to run your household. Did you hear that son? Tis true my hombres – you don’t need a raise or a side hustle—necessarily (though we love them)—to end up with more than you need. You just need to get good at this one thing, and, barring irregular circumstances, you’ll have extra money at the end of the month (which we call slush). Amazingly simple. The converse is also true: if you don’t get good at budgeting, you’ll never end up with extra cash and you’ll usually fall short in some areas, no matter how much money you make. In this episode we explore some advanced tips on how to budget for the times when you end up with more income than you planned for. This episode’s sponsor: https://www.outpostadvisors.net

AND, one more thing: if you don’t answer them, our luxury addled culture will answer them for you.  This may be one of my all-time favorites from the Abraham’s Wallet vault.
