BudgetForLife Users, Start Here!
Welcome, welcome, welcome to your FREE financial community!! (And if you recently downloaded BFL, check out this video with some tips on how to get started!) My name is Jeremy Biar, cofounder of BudgetForLife alongside Ivy League Grad & Math PhD @Eric Hopper We have been developing and improving our budget software for well over a DECADE at this point, and we thought it was time to create a space where users can seamlessly interact, get questions answered, share tips & tricks, and inspire one another! So again, welcome - you're here! ๐Ÿ˜Ž Let me explain how the platform works.. On the COMMUNITY tab, feel free to actively post and comment on others' posts! Our only request is that you keep it encouraging, genuine, and non-promotional :). You'll notice that Skool rewards ACTIVITY by allowing you to unlock access to more features as you comment, like, etc.. The more we engage together, the better this community will become!! On the CLASSROOM tab, you'll find a growing library of content designed to accelerate your financial freedom. Let me know - is there any content that you would LIKE to see? Or is there anything you found particularly helpful? On the CALENDAR tab, keep a look out for free events like Q&A's + budget reviews + hanging out :D (and let me know if there are any any events you would LIKE to see!) You'll also probably notice that I host a weekly financial coaching call. If you are ONLY looking for free community, please disregard these, as there is a fee associated with hiring me as a coach. But, if you think you could benefit from additional accountability, motivation, strategic insight, and specific feedback - shoot me a message and we'll get you on board! I'm honored and grateful for every one of you here and I can't wait to grow with you guys!! Much love! -Jeremy

Creating a new BFL spreadsheet
Different users have different preferences for how long to use a single BudgetForLife spreadsheet. Personally, I like to start fresh every year, but I also have seen spreadsheets with many years of data. Whatever your preference, did you know BFL has a built-in tool for easily creating a new spreadsheet? It will automatically copy all of your categories, savings goals, scheduled transactions, and other settings. The timeline will start on the month immediately following the last month on your current spreadsheet. You can access the tool by following Extensions > BudgetForLife > Update budget > Create budget for next year (see attached image). A few clicks and you'll have a clean new personalized spreadsheet with no copy/paste required!

Thinking of you guys during my vacay <3
I was traveling these past 5 days with my family and I came across this sign in a restaurant that made me think of you guys. It reads: "dreamers and doers" Well put, if you ask me :) In the world of personal finance influencers and mantras, often you'll get content that is extremely overcompensated towards one side or the other. The "dreamer" side of personal finance likes to overpromise and underdeliver, encouraging yolo investment decisions and lifestyle choices, wishing that money will just show up in their mailbox to bail them out or that a high paying job would call them up out of the blue to hire them. Influencers make themselves out to be gurus with the 'secrets' to your success - but of course, those secrets are always kept behind a pay wall behind another pay wall behind another pay wall, until you either run out of money or hope - whichever comes first. To be a 100% DREAMER is perhaps a suitable coping mechanism for pain, but it is not a viable path to freedom or wellness. The "doer" side, on the other hand, likes to feast on your insecurity and self-loathing by bullying you into more and more action without giving respect to your happiness or taking a moment to zoom out and consider if there is a more strategic and balanced path towards your goals. It's all work, work, work, work. Who cares about the results? Who cares if you're happy? Who cares if you lose your friends? You just have to keep doing more, simply because the doer influencer said so ๐Ÿ˜… And again, if that's your way to cope with pain (as we all suffer in innumerable ways in this life), I cannot fault you. But be forewarned, to be a 100% DOER is by no means a more viable path to freedom or wellness. Where does that leave us? Hmm.. .. If only you could be a dreamer AND a doer .. ๐Ÿ˜ To be one who consistently taps into your heart, listens to your emotions, follows your gut, lives for what you believe in ... and then activates your dreams into meaningful, substantive, consistent choices.
