When to Budget?

Did your parents or school talk about money in your life? If not, this is a totally NORMAL question to ask. 

When should I first start to budget?  

Today, especially if it is before the beginning of the next month or your next paycheck. It is PERFECT! This is a great time to start because a budget is all about planning and planning where your money goes. 

It is just like telling your kids what to do and telling your friends what you are doing for the week.

Tell your money where it is going and do not let it tell you that it is going to fees, late payments, huge loan rates,etc.

  • Budget: Before the beginning of the next month or your next paycheck
  • Savings: Automatically when your paycheck is directly deposited.
    • Go into your direct deposit and make it automatically come from there that way you NEVER see it even in your regular account!
  • Spending: This one is actually really hard for me…but in the last year it’s become easier and this is you can spend whatever you want because you budgeted for it!!!  If you go over, I have taken it from one spending budget and put it to another. 

You can make adjustments to your budget — you should to be honest. Life happens and things need to change throughout the month.

  • Investing: Start now! It is never too late – even a small 1% – 5% is better than nothing. Here are a few of our dividends when we started investing, and not as a stay at home mom. I am so thankful I started investing when I did, because I make money cleaning messes from toddlers, babies, and doing all the mom things.
  • Paying Debt: Start now with MORE than the minimum. Cannot afford more than the minimum…let’s start a coaching 1 on 1 session or get into Infinity: Budget Class for only $20. Check out our Shop
