Do you find that it's harder to stay on track with your budget and keep your spending in check during the summer months? You might even be going into the season with a good hold on your finances, a budget that's been working for you, and a money routine that helps you stay on track. But by the end of the summer, all the vacations, summer outings, new patio furniture, and new summer wardrobe for the family has caught up to you. You're left with a massive amount of guilt hanging over you along with a large credit card bill to reinforce that feeling. I've been there. My husband and I had the summers off from teaching, meaning we had a lot more time on our hands to spend money. If you can relate, this episode is for you! I'm going to be sharing the 4-step framework to help you avoid going overboard with your spending by creating a plan for your summer money. I'll also be showing you exactly how you can free up money in your budget to be able to adjust for summer fun!Enjoying the podcast?
