READ THE BLURB


Do you find the idea of cleaning toilets more interesting (and even more rewarding!) than talking about budgets? Does having (and following) a budget scare you?

Do you want to successfully live with a budget but no matter what you have tried, you have not been able to successful make, keep and track your financial life with a budget?

This electronic, downloadable book is written to anyone looking to get into, fall in love (or back in love) with or receive tips and resources to get started on the right track to being successful financially, with budgets.

It sure is the dreaded b..b…b “B” word and for good reason! Budgets make people scared, confused and self conscious and let’s be honest, most of the time we would rather just not do it. If this is you, grab this good read and get back on track.

Lauren writes in a fun but educational way that brings the important topic the time and respect it needs.

Once downloaded and saved or printed, it can truly be “The only Budget Book” you will ever need.

…and thank goodness for that!

READ AN EXCERPT


New phones? Sure! Of course! No problem. Where does the money come from? Who cares! There goes your budget plan. New car? Sure! Of course! No Problem! (see where I am going?) While a budget is a livable, breathing document and changes can be made, changes need to be made carefully and with consideration. If there is no room in the budget this month, there might be room next month. If it is a necessity, how can you make changes to move money over for this purchase?

It seems like you are ready to get to work! You have found, planned for, and killed anything keeping you from financial success, communicated with your spouse or accountability partner and learned how to work through financial challenges. Are you ready?!
