A budget is a perfectly good, useful, and not sexy thing. A budget serves as a great reminder not to spend unnecessarily.
A budget can help you set aside an adequate aliquot of money each month. A budget can force a silly spender to become a savvy saver. All of this is good; none of this is sexy.
Confidence is sexy. Be confident in your ability to handle your own money. Knowing that you have mastered money without reliance on the artificial barriers created by a budget is sexy.
Actually, yes. In addition to being about as sexy as granny panties, budgets can lead us to spend unnecessarily.
A mindful spender doesn’t see that budget gap as an opportunity to spend, it’s an opportunity to achieve her goals more quickly.
When you’ve adopted this mindset, you just might be ready to kick the budget. Because you don’t need a budget. Because budgets are not sexy.
