Budget besties, August is here, and it’s time for a fresh start. Whether summer spending threw you off or you’re ready to get ahead before the back-to-school rush, we’re walking you step-by-step through building your August budget — no shame, no stress, just clarity.

In this episode, we cover:

1. How to close out July’s budget (and why this step matters!)

2. Setting up your income the right way (especially if you’re working toward a paycheck-ahead system)

3. Planning for August-specific expenses like back-to-school shopping, sports fees, last-minute summer trips, and more

4. How to handle debt payments while still saving (yes, you can do both!)

5. Using savings buckets to take the surprise out of spending

6. Goal-setting for August — so you know exactly what you’re working toward this month

Grab your coffee, open up your budget template, and let’s build your August budget together. You’ve got this, and we’re here to walk you through it.
