Snag Our Simplified Budget System!

Hey budget besties — let’s be real: summer is amazing… but also totally chaotic for our routines and our wallets. 🙃 Between extra snacks, camps, trips, pool days, and late mornings (we see you, teenagers sleeping in ‘til 10), your budget may be feeling a little wrecked. We get it.

In this episode, we’re walking you through how to hit the reset button on your finances without guilt, shame, or crazy restrictions. You don’t have to go back and “fix” the summer — we’re starting fresh from right now.

Here’s what we’re chatting about:

1. Why we don’t go back and obsess over summer spending (and why that’s freeing!)

2. How to set up your August budget using what’s in your accounts today

3. Recreating your “normal” pre-summer spending habits to bring back financial stability

4. Adding a Summer Savings Bucket (because next year’s fun shouldn’t catch you off guard)

5. Why overcorrecting with an ultra-restrictive budget never works — and what to do instead

This is your permission slip to take a breath, stop dwelling on what’s already happened, and start building a budget that works for where you are right now.

You’ve got this. And if you need a little help staying organized, don’t forget we’ve built tools like our Simplified Budget System to make the reset process even easier — perfect for planning ahead for next summer’s fun without the financial stress.

Let’s reset together, besties. 💛
