Summary

We never thought we needed a budget because we've always spent less than we made. Therefore, we were always saving, but there wasn't any intentionality around the money that we saved. We weren't saving a set amount and we were just giving ourselves the leftovers. No longer do we give ourselves the leftovers! We plan to save to be able to pay for things that matter to us - early retirement, traveling, and experiences. We share our journey from no budget to recognizing the need for us to budget in part 2 of the Make Green Challenge. In This Episode We Discuss Do we really need a budget? How aware are we of our spending? What tools do we use to track our spending? How has the tracking of our spending impacted our finances?
