What a Budget is Actually For

Those unexpected expenses that always seem to show up at the most inconvenient times... Were they really unexpected? How can they fit into your plan?

Can we afford this? doesn't tell you all you want to know.

Those decisions that you have to keep making again and again require a lot of mental energy. A good financial plan can help, but what about decisions you can just make once?

Are you making financial decisions, or are you mostly just responding to them? Do you wish you were doing something different? Are you working toward that wish?

Did you know there isn't one perfect plan for your money? What used to work might not be working anymore. Or maybe it has never worked. It doesn't mean you are failing, or that you don't care, or that money is just too confusing. Maybe it just means that your plan doesn't fit.
