It’s time for another Real Life Budget. I asked my readers to submit their REAL information. Real spending, real debt, and real savings goals.
I am taking those real-life numbers and showing you how I would organize and budget that information using my Budget By Paycheck® Method.
If you would like to submit your budget information to possibly be picked for a Real Life Budget that we will show on YouTube, please reach out to [email protected].
Today, we are looking at TBM Family member Meghan's information. Meghan is a single mom who lives in Maryland. She works two jobs and has had an issue using payday loans in the past. She struggles with spending and she wants to start saving for multiple savings goals.
