Good Evening Everyone, As we go along, I'm going to be posting more classes in the classroom section of this community. As of right now, I have just published the first one. I would love to have some feedback on this class, and what classes you may want to see in the future.

For many couples, the problem isn’t income—it’s that money quietly slips away without a plan. Between subscriptions, impulse buys, and unnoticed bills, it’s easy to lose hundreds each month. The good news? With a few smart moves, you can reclaim that cash and put it toward your goals. This month, take on The $500 Challenge: a simple plan to find hidden money in your budget without feeling deprived. 1. Audit Your Subscriptions Streaming services, apps, gyms—these small charges add up. Go through your bank and credit card statements from the past 90 days and cancel what you don’t use. 2. Negotiate Bills You Already Pay Call your internet, phone, or insurance providers and ask for discounts, promotions, or competitor matches. Companies want to keep your business. 3. Smarter Grocery Shopping Plan meals ahead, buy store brands, and avoid shopping when you’re hungry. Add in a weekly “use what’s in the pantry” dinner to cut waste. 4. Trim the “Fun Money” Without Losing Fun Instead of cutting date nights, swap them for budget-friendly options—like cooking together at home or free local events. 5. Launch the $100 Savings Challenge Pick one extra expense (like daily takeout coffee or frequent delivery fees) and cut it for just 30 days. Move that money into savings. By making small tweaks, couples can reclaim $500 or more this month. That extra money could jumpstart an emergency fund, pay down debt faster, or even fund a weekend getaway without guilt.

Hello Everyone, I am going live at 12:00 PM Eastern with my first-ever live Q&A. I know there aren't that many of you in the Skool community right now, but feel free to join if you have any questions or would like to share any life updates and get advice. Here is the link to the Zoom Meeting if anyone is interested. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89246553039

This is the most important key to budgeting, you must live your budget. You could have a perfectly balance budget that both of you agree on, but if you don't stick to those numbers it doesn't matter. The less you stick to your budget, the slower your progress will be. Remember, your budget should be realistic, but flexible. Don't put $200 in the grocery category if you know your average is $500. That's setting yourself up for failure.
