We've all seen the food pyramid, but what if we made one for our money? Imagine you're building a budget from scratch. Your income is limited, so you have to decide what gets priority. Which category belongs at the FOUNDATION of your budget pyramid? (This isn't even what you would necessarily spend the most money on, but just what you would want to protect first.) 🏠 Housing & utilities — A safe place to live and the essentials to keep it running. 🥦 Food & groceries — Keeping yourself and your family fed. 🚗 Transportation — Getting to work, school, appointments, and other important places. ❤️ Health & medical care — Taking care of your physical and mental well-being. 💬 Something else! — Tell us what you'd prioritize first. There's no single answer that works for everyone. Our circumstances, needs, and values can change the order! Bonus question: What would you put on the SECOND level of your pyramid? 👀

Budgeting, in a nutshell, is learning to spend more on what actually matters and less on what doesn't. How would you describe budgeting in a GIF or sentence?

I'm working on a new approach to budgeting. It's a mashup of budgeting principles and role-playing adventures. Which picture would make you want to learn more and/or participate?

If you happen to know your budget numbers on a bi-monthly or monthly scale, have you ever tried creating a daily average? (This isn't practical for every category, but it's still an interesting exercise!) For example, if you had a monthly grocery budget of $800 for your family, that comes to just over $26/day. Can you make that work for you for today?

What is a win you have had recently, big or small (doesn't have to be financial)?
