Kumiko Love Instagram – I think we can all admit that we’ve felt overwhelmed at some point during our financial journey. Sometimes, that overwhelming feeling has even resulted in giving up, frustration, or feeling unmotivated. I’m here to tell you that there are ways to fight that overwhelm and be successful with your finances. The number one thing I see people that are new to budgeting do is go in full force. While that’s great, it might lead to confusion and burnout later down the road. Don’t beat yourself up for not understanding every single part of the Budget by Paycheck Method. Start with one concept, get comfortable with it, and then add in other elements of the method. For example, start with tracking your spending. Once you get in a habit of tracking your spending and how to correctly do so, implement cash envelopes into your budget. Once you have those concepts solidified and you’re comfortable with that, then maybe move on to incorporating sinking funds or close out your budget for the month. Remember, there is no certain “pace” that you need to keep up with. Go at your own pace and ensure you are setting yourself up for success. Give yourself grace, ensure you are budgeting for some self-care and FUN, and budget your money YOUR WAY. What is something that you started doing to make budgeting less challenging for you? For me, I ensure I track my expenses every day. That way, I don’t feel overwhelmed and stressed trying to catch up. #thebudgetmom #budgetqueen #budgetgoals #financialjourney #financialsupport #personalfinanceinfluencer #personalfinanceforwomen #budgeting #budgettips #financialgoals #financialfreedom #budgetingforbeginners #budgetbypaycheck #budget101 #budgetplanner
