The New Year is a perfect time to create a budget. Many people consider a budget to be an unpleasant, limiting factor in their life. Instead, I invite you to view it as a welcome guideline and a fun puzzle. Nothing feels quite as good as spending within your means. And I fully encourage you to build in a line for “treats” or “splurges.” There are many tools available online to help with this activity. Several sites like Kiplingers and The Dough Roller have especially useful tools. Or Google search “budget tools” and choose one to your liking. If you are stuck, a coaching session can help you start the process. I am offering a new program, Budget Bliss, that can help you be on your way! Regardless of your method, I encourage you to take the plunge! It will give you peace of mind and the great satisfaction of having done something to take care of yourself as the new year begins.
