How Am I Never Left With Any Money Each Month...Even With a Budget

Ever wondered how you are never left with any money each month, even though you have a budget? In this episode, I'm featuring a Budget Rescue with Robert, who asks: "Hi Shannah, thanks for taking the time to answer my question. BTW I love the new name of the show. This is one of the only places I feel like we can listen to all different types of conversations, and you always surprise me with the topics. It’s so cool. I’m writing to see if you could give me some insights into my monthly budget. Here’s my snapshot - I make around $5K per month and have a fairly stable job, at least I think so. I know that I should have around $350 - $500 a month left over, but the problem is that I don’t each month, and I can’t figure out why. You’re super good at helping people with their budgets, so I was wondering if you could give me some pointers and thoughts on what I might be missing or not including here. I’d like to be able to save some money for my ER fund every month and put some into a travel savings account. Thanks again for this show…it’s helped me so much."
