Jessi Fearon, The Budget Mama, joins us this week to talk about the dirty “b” word…..budgets. What does it take to make a budget work? Jessi should know. She went from losing her car to financial stability….and all because she learned how to stop overspending and start attacking her debt.
Not only does she share how she messed up and climbed out of the hole, but she also shares tips on what tools to use, pitfalls to avoid, and how she makes her family budget work….even when it isn’t perfect. Find yourself falling off the budgeting horse? Jessi talks about what she does when the budget isn’t working. She’ll share just how little time it takes to budget and the big key in a having a budget with a spouse or friend: “communication.”
