We wanted to end our financial literacy series by sharing the weekly practice that helped Steff and her husband pay off credit card debt, build savings, and maintain their financial gains. Having a weekly budget might not sound fun or glamorous, but it’s the key to making financial changes that will set you up for less stress, big future purchases, and a stronger relationship with your spouse. That sounds pretty fun to us!

Watch the rest of the series:

• Part 1: These Habits are Keeping You Broke

• Part 2: Taking Control of Your Financial Future in Uncertain Economic Times

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Why we need to get comfortable talking about money
• Steff’s wake up call that her family needed to get their finances together
• How she changed her approach to credit cards and budgeting immediately
• The link between weekly planning and saving money
• How to plan for big future expenses or purchases
• Reframing your budget as an opportunity to reduce stress
