Why is TODAY Such A Bad Day to Start or Tackle your Home Budget?
Here are the Top 10 reasons:
1. Fear that a budget will take away your freedom
2. Fear that doing a budget will reveal how bad things are and you would rather NOT know

5. You think budgeting is not possible because your income varies

7. You just couldn’t be bothered – not in enough pain to do something about it even though you’re not happy
8. Too hard, like trying to give up smoking or drinking
9. Fear of revealing your addictions and bad habits
10. Relationship reasons – It’s just too hard to talk about money

Which Some People Say Is An Acronym For.....
When I first started out on this journey I would tell everyone I met that I did household budgets for people. Invariably they would respond saying they should get me to do one for them as well, but the moment I suggested making an appointment they would back away quickly, making excuses and saying there would be a better time AFTER some event or situation passed. They wanted the benefit but fear held them back.
I Was Amazed Because My
SPENDING PLAN Was...
None of the 10 Reasons Above Were Valid!
Yes, it may have revealed there was a problem, but invariably things got better once we knew what the problem looked like. Only then could we put a plan in place to fix what needed fixing.
Once we had crossed that barrier it led to positive outcomes and positive emotions.

I LOVE MY SPENDING PLAN!
“Leaving behind traditional budgeting and creating a spending plan has definitely been liberating to me. No more wasted time tracking my past spending. Now I invest very little time planning my future spending (quick and easy with Spending Plan software) yet reaping many financial rewards. I have enjoyed financial peace of mind for over 15+ years. Knowing the money will be waiting for my bills due date, rather than my bills waiting for me to find the money – is liberating & stress-free! I now have savings for irregular expenses, unexpected expenses, future replacement expenses, holidays, and retirement, etc, all because of my spending plan. It is definitely liberating! I love teaching others HOW to have the same financial peace of mind.” – Sherri Dumbrell
