In this episode of the SeedTime Money podcast, we dive into 10 reasons why you might not be sticking to your budget and discuss how you can overcome these obstacles. Inspired by @IanBuildsWealth on Instagram, we share insights on how to create a realistic and effective budget that works for you.

 

Here's what we cover in this episode:

✅ The common budgeting myth that's sabotaging your financial goals - and how to fix it for good

✅ Why your budget might be failing you, even if you think it's working well - and the steps to supercharge your progress

✅ The surprising reason your budget is "janky" and difficult to stick to - and the simple mindset shift to make it work like a well-oiled machine

✅ The one thing you absolutely need to include in your budget for it to be successful

✅ How to use a zero-based budget to take control of your money and finally stop wondering where it went

✅ The budgeting method that works like nothing else, allowing you to use real money without cash or envelopes

✅ The importance of having realistic numbers in your budget and how it can make or break your financial success
