When you budget, you are giving your money direction. You are taking time to think, plan, and give purpose to the money you’ve earned so you can manage it well. This blog post will give you a few budgeting tips that I live by and will help you adopt a lifestyle of budgeting!

The purpose of your budget is to give your money direction, and every time you make money, it’s your responsibility to tell your money where to go and what to do.

Saving money is simply putting money aside for future use. Do you want the access or not? If you want the access: set a savings goal, prioritize your savings, and start saving consistently.

How we use money impacts our everyday lives and our future. I believe as we learn how to properly use money, we’ll create room for more. From savings to spending, to investing and giving, there's a process to it all.

With the prices of everything rising, it can seem like you’re always drowning in bills and barely making it above water to come up for air. I know exactly how you feel. I used to be the leader of the irresponsible homegirls. 

When we typically think about budgeting, words come to mind like “limits” or “restrictions”, but budgeting is simply the process of creating a plan for where your money is going and how it should be used. Your budget gives your money direction and a clear plan for how it will be used until the next time you get paid.
