Description

Snag Our Simplified Budget System! In today’s episode, we welcome Megan, a busy mom, teacher, and wife, navigating the rollercoaster of combining finances with her freelance husband. Like so many of us, Megan and her husband have been managing their finances separately—but now, with a mortgage, two kids, and irregular income to juggle, it’s time to build a system that works together. We walk Megan through actionable steps to create a simple and streamlined budget system that eliminates stress, provides clarity, and empowers her to plan for the unexpected. From setting up baseline budgets to creating holding accounts for irregular income, this episode is packed with practical advice to help couples like Megan and her husband get on the same financial page. We also talk about the emotional side of money—how budgeting together can strengthen communication, reduce financial tension, and even bring a renewed sense of teamwork to a marriage. Whether you're trying to budget with irregular income or looking for a system that keeps finances clear and consistent, this episode has something for you! What We Cover in This Episode: Why managing money separately as a married couple can feel like you're spinning your wheels. How to set up a "holding account" to smooth out irregular income months. The importance of creating a baseline budget to understand what your family truly costs each month. Dividing up spending categories like groceries and personal fun money to keep things simple and stress-free. Tips for starting the budget conversation with your partner in a warm and positive way. Why combining finances doesn’t mean combining credit (and how to ease money fears when credit histories differ). How budgeting as a team can strengthen your marriage and help you dream bigger. 4 Ways To Connect With Us: 1️⃣ FREE CALL: Book your FREE 20-Minute Financial Coaching Call now!
