Budgeting is fundamental to achieving your financial goals. No matter which way you look at it, you have to find a way to make sure your money ends up exactly where you want it to be. Doing this requires some discipline and an overarching plan. For many, budgeting is a crucial piece of their debt-payoff story. On the other hand, budgeting is just as important to building long-term wealth, and turning your net worth from a negative to a positive. Budgets get a bad rap. Budgets are often view as restrictive, rather than freeing. Furthermore, many people don't know where to get started. The reality is, budgets help to give us peace of mind and the freedom to spend money on the things we value. On this episode, we're joined by Ashely Patrick, founder and CEO of Budgets Made Easy. She's here to share how she CRUSHED $45,000 in debt, and tips for anyone looking to make budgeting easy. We also do a segment on a common question - 'How Much House Can I afford?'
