You don't need another budget. You need a spending system. So many people give up on budgeting after putting their expenses on paper and then fail to implement it in their real life. A budget will do you no good if it's not guiding your everyday decisions while also helping you reach your long-term financial goals automatically.

Look no further than this week's episode to get your spending system up and running.
In this week's episode we're diving into what a spending system is and why you need one with Shana and Vanessa, The Budget Besties. Shana and Vanessa are best friends, business partners, and Master Certified Finanicial Coaches who help their clients set up a spending system that runs automatically, shows you exactly where your money is going, and gives you permission to spend.
In this episode we discuss the biggest mindset blocks that are keeping from you from effectively managing your money, why you don't need another budget but rather a budget system, Shana and Vanessa's budget system and the 5 different pillars of it, why automation is your friend, and which bank accounts they recommend using to implement their system.
