And I kept trying to fix, I kept trying to change the budget, a different budgeting approach, a different app, and it didn't fix my overspending.

And that's where I've really discovered that overspending is not always a budgeting problem.

It's a spending problem.

You can, the numbers can look perfect and you still overspend, but why?

And I like to think of it as,

Money management is a balance between saving and spending.

And if you don't spend within the limits that your budget outlines, you won't be able to save.

So no matter how much you refine your budget, if you can't stick to that limit within the month, your budget's not going to work.

And that's a lot of what...

happens, is we're not looking at our budget all the time.

We're not thinking about it or looking at it at the store when we have that cute blouse, that kitchen appliance.

It's not top of mind.

And so my approach is really helping you in those moments, making those aligned decisions that will make your budget work.

Yeah, I love that.

Yeah.

So first of all, I do establish what their values are.

And I love that you do that as well, because that is really the motivation.

Our brains in the study that I've done about the brain are very bad at assessing value if you just have one thing.

And so if you compare that thing to something else, then you can accurately value that thing.
