Shout out to @Jeff Baer and @Demetra Lambros for hopping on the call tonight! I'm not dropping the recording in here because I was having technical difficulties -- but I did promise you a worksheet, so here's that! As I've been working with people over the years, what I've learned is most people don’t actually have a spending problem -- they have an ambiguity problem. A Zero-Based Budget fixes that because every dollar gets a job. It means there's no confusion, no guilt and no “where did my money go?” moments. This one covers: 💰 Income streams 🏡 Housing & utilities 🚗 Transportation 👗 Clothing 🍔 Food 💊 Medical 📚 Personal 🛡️ Insurance 💳 Debts 🎉 Recreation …and sinking funds (the secret weapon nobody teaches you). If your money feels like it’s leaking out of 100 tiny holes, this is the fix. Clarity = confidence and Zero-Based Budgeting isn’t about restriction. It’s about intention. It’s about giving every dollar direction so your life stops feeling chaotic and starts feeling designed. Your homework for the week is to either with pencil and paper, or a spreadsheet, write down all the categories you want in your budget and all of the line items you want added to in said category. Then, we will walk through this live on next week's call. Drop a ⭐ below if you'll be there.

Let’s get to know each other a little! If you’re new here, take a minute to drop an intro in the comments. Nothing fancy -- just share: - Who you are / where you’re from - What brought you here - Something fun or unexpected about you (hobby, favorite food, weird talent, etc.) I’ll go first so you don’t have to be the guinea pig. Can’t wait to meet you all!

Hi everyone, we're going live at 7PM to kick off How to Rock Your Budget! The replay will be available after, but hope to see you soon!

Hey Rockstars! 👋 Our budget class kicks off on Monday and I can’t wait to dive in with you. ⏰ Time: Please vote on the options below 🎥 Replay: Yes -- everyone will get the replay 📄 Worksheet: You’ll get a fillable worksheet you can start using right away You'll leave the course with a full, usable budget but we're going to start with the fundamentals! This first session sets the foundation for the entire course, so try to catch it live if you can -- but no stress if not. You’ll still be able to follow along step-by-step. Drop a 🎸 if you’re joining live!

Hey Rockstars! I’m building out the Budget Challenge for the community, and before I finalize anything, I want your input so it fits you, not just what I think you might need. Here’s what you’ll already get: - A custom-designed Every Day Rockstars budget spreadsheet - A complete budgeting checklist to make sure nothing gets forgotten - A supportive, step-by-step challenge to help you actually use your budget Before I layer anything else in, I want to make sure the challenge feels simple, practical, and not overwhelming. So I have two questions for you: 1. How many weeks (or lessons) do you think this challenge should be? Something short and powerful? Or a multi-week process with accountability? 2. What questions do you have about budgeting? Anything you struggle with, avoid, or feel confused by? Right now I am leaning towards a live call/series that is recorded for playbacks for anyone that missed it. I also might include a few bonus elements, like a monthly live call where we all set our budgets together, but I only want to add those if they genuinely help you and don’t overload the challenge. Your feedback will shape the entire structure, so drop your thoughts below. Let’s build this in a way that feels clear, doable, and empowering. 🖤🔥 @Keith Marvicsin @Krista Brea @Demetra Lambros @Jeff Baer @Scarlett Wieliczki @David Shepherd @Joe Salvucci
