Everyone has heard the advice you need to budget. And many of us try and build a budget based on previous data. But guess what? That data is old and doesn't take into account that each month has different responsibilities. (Hello birthdays, holidays, annual expenses you forgot about, vacations, .etc) In Unmuted Money we talk about this, the forgotten but expected expenses, but we also talk about the true unexpected ones. Rents going up or leases not being renewed, car problems even though you take care of maintenance, friends or family having emergencies and needing you, or medical emergencies that pause or end careers. Life isn't textbook for anyone. It comes with ebs and flows. A member ended up getting a divorce and guess what? She said "I got this" she was confident enough to know she would figure the money stuff out and make it work. I don't know about you, but to me that speaks volumes. To not have to feel trapped in a relationship due to financial constraints. To maybe not be 100% ready but know you have the skills and resources to make it happen. And the honor it is to feel like the Unmuted Money community is one of those safe places to share it. Our Money Hangouts are weekly and never recorded. My DMs are open. Tools are starting to be dropped. Community is only $5 a year right now. Isn't that $5 worth a chance to feel better around your finances? Come join us today!
