I am NOT immune to feeling like my dollar is being stretched very thin over the summer months. I mean, we take a family trip, we send our kids to summer camps, we have family get-togethers and celebrations, we go on road trips. 

In the past I used to  get really stressed out around the summer months, especially since I was a teacher and couldn't rely on my income until the school year started back up. So I had anxiety that would just stay in my system all the time because I knew I was stretching myself too thin financially. 

Can you relate? If so, I want to share some tips our family intentionally does to prepare for the summer spending splurge. My hope is that you walk away feeling more confident and empowered to enjoy your summer, guilt and anxiety free when it comes to your money!
