Snag Our Simplified Budget System!


Hey Budget Besties!
Q3 is officially here, and you know what that means — it’s time to get real with our money, stop winging it, and start winning. Whether you crushed Q2 or it totally threw you for a loop, this episode is your reset moment.

Shana and Vanessa are walking you through how to create a solid 90-day plan you can actually stick to — paycheck by paycheck. We’re talking goal-setting, budget-building, and real-life planning that accounts for back-to-school, vacations, income changes, and surprises that aren’t even fun. 😅

In this episode, we cover:

  • ✅ How to review Q2: the wins, the flops, and the surprises

  • 📆 Why a calendar (like a real paper one!) is your budget’s BFF

  • 💸 How to set clear, realistic money goals for July–September

  • 🔁 What to do today to automate savings and stop living in budget chaos

  • 🧾 The exact steps to break those big quarterly goals into monthly budgets that make sense

You’ll walk away with a customized 90-day money game plan that feels doable, gives your dollars a job, and helps you finally see the results of all your hard work.

  • “This is not about saying no. This is about saying yes — with a plan.”

  • “You don’t need another budget. You need a budget system.”

    • “You can cash flow your life — with less stress and more wins.”


    ✨ Budget Bestie Homework:

    1. Reflect on Q2: what worked, what didn’t, and why.

    2. Map out July, August, and September on a physical calendar.

    3. Choose 1–3 realistic money goals for Q3 (think debt payoff, saving for travel, or finally sticking to your budget).

    4. Set up your budget for July — and start adjusting your transfers to align with your goals.

  • Don't forget your savings buckets!
