Your budget needs these 8 sections, in order👇🏽 1. Expenses: fixed and variable (fixed are bills/those with a due date and variable are those that change month to month like groceries and dining out) 2. Emergency Fund Contribution (check out my EF 101 video a few reels back for details on this savings effort) 3. Extra debt payments: crush high-interest debt as fast as you can 4. Investing 5. Saving (4 & 5 may flip from time to time and that’s okay) 6. Investing for your family/Giving 7. Fulfillment Portfolio™️ at the family level (date night, renovating the kitchen) 8. Fulfillment Portfolio™️ at the individual level (hobbies, gifts for friends, etc.) —————- Budgeting should not involve guesswork.

The 2.0 version of you has a budget. And that may seem backwards to you. “Budgeting is for broke people.” The sooner you smash that mentality and realize that 50/30/20 and The Baby Steps aren’t your only options (which are great for some, but to put it plainly - they are not comprehensive enough for you), the “bigger picture” becomes clearer. Wealth-building starts with the “extra” in your budget. The 8-Part Budget helps you brilliantly multi-task your discretionary income. Budget to invest. Invest to build wealth.
