My budget was never a priority... And that's because I didn't realize it was the MOST critical piece of investing.
In short: I always put budgeting on the back burner because I was focused on everything else I had going on in my busy life.
Then I learned: if I ever want to stop trading time for money, I had to shift my focus to saving so that I could INVEST and let my money grow on its own!
So, if you know deep in your heart you should be budgeting but you just haven't had the time to prioritize it, I'm here to tell you NOW is the TIME and I'm here to help you!
Ditching the finance apps and creating my system of budgeting from the perspective of self-reflection absolutely changed my life...
And now I'm giving you all the tools so that you can supercharge your savings in a way that will change yours, too!
LET ME TELL YOU...
After crying in a former manager's office when a car accident left me with <$100 (and then taking a finance class as a result), I realized a budget is essentially a treasure map.
Your budget gives you a one-page financial plan that is your North Star leading you from where you are to literally any life you want.
I got to work listing my income vs. expenses and signing up for budget apps I eventually deleted once I made my own process... and I quickly started seeing (and FEELING) the results.
And, today, my husband and I know this method has been the #1 tool to building this life we love.
Now, we own investments that auto-generate income, because as it turns out -- budgeting IS the key
Before you picture a budget with multiple pages and colorful charts, I have to tell you: I still do our budget in a spreadsheet -- and this isn't a fancy spreadsheet with cash flow projections, it's a simple one-pager that uses nothing more than basic math (like, I'm talking only addition and subtraction).
We've created a $1.7M+ net worth, generated $350K+ in passive income, and paid off $21K+ of debt based on information we get from our sweet little unassuming budget spreadsheet.
Budgeting with intention has changed my life, my marriage, my income, my career path, and my ability to help the world... and there were a million reasons why I couldn't around get to it. But once I did, the greatest things started to happen.
And now I get to teach you exactly how I built my budget, clarified my goals, identified my habits, and adjusted my strategy in just 30 days.
picture this...
Really... picture this with me for a moment.
Imagine accessing the exact process to know how to create and successfully stick to your own simple budget. I'm talking beyond just the numbers, but also the psychology behind your relationship with money that may be holding you back.
Imagine getting your hands on step-by-step guidance to squash any fears you have about not being a spreadsheet-building math whiz so you can get your budget up and running with confidence.
Imagine seeing my exact method for quantifying your goals so you can actually make measurable progress toward them with your money and start investing.
Imagine learning the tools I swear by for keeping your budget top-of-mind, sticking to it, and adjusting it as your life changes... plus, I'll share what I'd do differently if I were to start from scratch today.
Introducing
The Budget Lab
I've taken all I've learned from creating a budget that's led us to a 7-figure net worth, 6-figures of passive income, and a 5-figure debt pay-off and turned it into a 4-Step Process to Build Your Plan, Clarify Your Goals, Identify Your Habits, and Analyze & Adjust Your Strategy in just 30 Days.
I went from zero investments and <$100 in the bank to owning various investments that have returned $350K (and counting!) with little to no effort on my part. I eventually stopped trading time for money altogether using basic, repeatable daily habits to continue creating passive income.
And I'm unveiling the step-by-step process I used to do it.
while everyone's busy making excuses about money, you'll be busy doing something about it
