Hey Mama,
How often do you find that you’ve missed something that needed to be added to the budget after you’ve already budgeted everything? That is so frustrating and sometimes it doesn’t even show itself until days after you’ve already been using the budget the way you planned.
Well today we are going to talk about how using a calendar can prevent you from missing these expenses that can easily be forgotten about when it comes to the budget.
So go cuddle up with a nice warm drink, get comfy with them babies and open your heart to God as we head into today’s episode.
