Episode description

Are you ready to start building a budget that works and you actually love? Learn the nuts and bolts on how to quickly and easily make a flexible family budget!

Last week I mentioned that one report found 73% of millennials are living paycheck to paycheck. When you’re in that situation you can be an added weight on shoulders because if one thing goes wrong – and it will- it can make a mess of your finances.

For this week, I want to go from the big picture view we took on the potentials with budgets and get into the nuts and bolts. How do you build a budget?

Which is why I’m happy to have Warren Murray on the show today. Warren works Financial Well Being Manager over at Coastal Credit Union where he and his team help members live better by managing their money more efficiently.

In this episode we’ll get into:

• why having a financial snapshot your finances is important and how to do it
• how building your budget around financial wellness is more efficient and sustainable
• creative ways to include fun into your budget while still working towards your financial goals

We have a lot to cover, so let’s get started!
