Learn how to budget for beginners and create a budget from scratch! I used to hate the word budget, but now I embrace it. Once I realized that I couldn’t afford the home that I wanted, I knew things needed to change. And then, a few years later, I got laid off my job. Another eye-opening moment that I learned a lot from. 

So I got serious about my money after that. I started studying personal finance like it was a job. I started managing your money like the rich. Like the wealthy. And though I’m not perfect, I know this video will offer some easy budgeting tips for beginners and give you a crash course on budgeting 101. 

And to be clear, I don’t believe in deriving yourself. I still like to travel, and I still like to eat out. But unlike the old me, the new me makes room for it. I also get strategic with it, i.e. points and various hacks that I’ll discuss in the video. Work smarter, not harder.
