Should you even bother with budgeting?

You know I’m going to say that you should budget. But the question is, why should you bother with budgeting?

This is how I budget (btw it’s very simple).

What do you do when you receive new money? (I follow the YNAB method.)

What will your life look like 10 years from now?

I love visualization, as it helps make crystal-clear what goals I should focus on.

Visualize your life 10 years from now.

Make it more concrete: Visualize a day in your life 10 years from now.

Visualization can serve as a reminder for the life you want to live.

How I visualize my goals (and how I sing!)

Visualize your goal in order to reach it! (Btw, I’m singing in the last video on this page! :D)

Visualize the small steps on the way to your goal.

Create signposts to guide you on your way to your goal.

Visualize your big goal as well as the signposts along the way.

Sometimes we need to be flexible in the moment in order to maintain our consistency in the future.

If you can’t reach for joy in the current moment, give yourself some grace. We aren’t always meant to be happy, and that’s okay.
