Sunday check-in time 👇 Simple question this week — what is one financial decision you made this week, big or small, that you feel good about? Could be something you didn't buy, something you saved, a bill you finally dealt with. Doesn't matter how small. I'll go first: I purposely prioritized taking public transportation as much as possible this week while I was travelling in Poland to avoid spending a lot of extra money on Ubers all around the cities that I was visiting. Drop yours below 👇

Love seeing people posting numbers in here! This week I want to go one layer deeper though. Don't just drop the number, tell me what you're going to do about it. If you came in under budget — where is that extra money going? Did you move it to savings, or did it just disappear? If you overspent — what's the plan to adjust for it this week? Cut something else, or just accept it and move on? I'll go first: I overspent on Experiences this month because, I played a couple rounds of golf and some pickleball. Since I am back home now, I will be able to save money on food and other expenses to keep my budget balanced and offset those extra costs! If you're in the accountability program drop yours below!

For those of you in the accountability program, this week I want you to drop one actual number from your budget in the comments. This could be something you saved, something you overspent on, what you put toward debt, or what's sitting in your checking account right now. Last week was intros which was great, this week we're getting into the real stuff. For everyone else in the community, same invitation applies. Drop a number, ask a question, or share something you're working on. The more people that show up in here the better this gets for everyone. I will go first. I just finished updating my budget for the month of July, and I spent $581 in total across Groceries/Food, Transportation, Experiences and Misc. I came in right about on budget!

Exciting announcement — we just launched the 8-Week Budget Accountability Program this week and I have three members who have signed up and are already getting started. Really pumped about this. For those three, this is your first weekly check-in thread. Every Sunday I'll post one of these and all I need from you is to post one thing in the comments. Could be any of the following: - A win from this week, even a small one. Ex. You stayed under budget on groceries, didn't make an impulse purchase you were tempted by, or actually opened your budget spreadsheet - Something you're currently working on or a goal you're going into next week with - A number from your budget. Ex. what you saved, what you spent, what you're tracking - Or just a quick intro so everyone knows who's in the program No wrong answers and no judgment. The whole point of this thread is just to build the habit of showing up and being accountable once a week. Even one sentence counts. For everyone else in the community — feel free to drop something in the comments too. The more people sharing what they're working on the better this community gets for everyone. I'll go first: this week I set up the structure for this program, did my own budget review this morning, and I'm going into next week with a goal of keeping my eating out spending under $50. Your turn!
