Snag Our Simplified Budget System!

Okay, budget besties — let’s clear up some confusion that’s been driving us all a little nuts. 😅

You’ve heard about “savings buckets” — but here’s the thing: what banks are calling buckets is not what we mean when we talk about savings buckets. So today, we’re setting the record straight.

In this episode, we break down:

1. The difference between bank “buckets” (a.k.a. subaccounts) and our savings bucket system

2. Why using one big savings account with buckets can actually make budgeting harder

3. How separate accounts for each savings goal can simplify your life (and your brain!)

4. How to automate it all so you don’t mess it up (because life is busy enough)

Spoiler: We’re team separate accounts all the way — because when you can clearly see how much you have for travel, Christmas, or car maintenance at a glance, you’re not stuck doing mental math or juggling categories in your bank app.

Our whole system is about keeping your money simple, automatic, and totally clear. And trust us — once you try it this way, you’ll never go back.
