Create a Budget You Both Love

How do you feel about your budget?

Be honest.

Chances are you're not exactly thrilled about it.

A survey conducted by Experian found that nearly half – 42% to be exact – don’t use one because they feel like they're ineffective and unnecessary.

So how do you create a budget that you both love?

 

Peter Polson from Tiller, one of the coolest money apps out there, is joining me today to offer some fantastic suggestions and ideas.

In this episode we'll discuss:

• how a budget can fit into your life and grow with you through your marriage
• how to fit your personal hobbies into your budget
• why there is no one size fits all budget

Hope you enjoy!
