Create a Budget That You Can Stick To—Here’s How!
|
Dear Reader , I know budgeting isn’t at the top of most people’s to-do lists. It can feel restrictive, overwhelming, or even boring. But the truth is, a budget isn’t about saying no—it’s about creating the freedom to say yes to the things that truly matter. The key is to create a budget that you can stick to—one that’s simple, flexible, and works for you. That’s exactly what I help my clients do! Whether it’s setting up an easy-to-follow budget, reviewing spending habits, or making tweaks along the way, I help couples take control of their money together. In my latest blog, I walk you through simple, actionable steps to create a budget that works—so you can stop stressing about money and start making real progress toward your financial goals.
It is my hope that you'll find the blog a quick and easy read, after all, budgeting isn't supposed to be labour intensive, just a tool to help you get a handle on your finances. Be sure to hit reply and let me know what you think! Love,
PS: I’m planning an exciting low-cost service to help clients start their budgeting journey—watch this space for more details coming soon! |

Hi Reader , I hope you're having a great week! I’m currently away enjoying some much-needed family time. We’re staying on a little island in Naivasha, here in Kenya — surrounded by giraffes, monkeys, gazelles, hippos… and yes, a few snakes too (but let’s not focus on those!). Spending intentional time together is something we deeply value. Instead of splurging on luxury items or regular dining out, we choose to save for experiences like these. It’s part of our WHY — to create memories...
Dear Reader , Did you know that April marks Financial Literacy Month?
