Budgeting doesn’t have to be a bad word

Budgeting doesn’t have to be complicated. And it doesn’t have to require hours of paperwork, complicated spreadsheets, and math equations.

In fact, spending a bit of time getting your budget in line might actually make things a lot less stressful. Money is one of the biggest causes of stress in life, so if you can have a better idea of what’s coming in—and what’s going out—every month, it will free up some mental energy to focus on other things.

But getting started can be hard. It’s not about going from zero to financial wizard in one day—think of it more like building on an important skill. To help with that, we developed the First Timer’s Guide to Budgeting. Our guide will help you take some of the mystery and stress out of building and maintaining your budget.
