Welcome to our monthly Budget Bestie Meetup! In this episode, we're tackling a question that's been buzzing in our community. With changes in technology and different payday situations, the question arises: When's the best time to start budgeting for your next paycheck? We'll break it down, share personal experiences, and give practical tips for dealing with this common concern. Tune in for a community-driven discussion, where we learn, share wins, and connect as budget besties.

Like you can do it on payday, you could do it a couple days before, you could do a couple days after. It's just a matter of of checking in, right? And that habit of actually balancing checking in with your spending, it doesn't really matter when you do it.” - Ashley Patrick Timestamps: 00:55 - Introduction 01:33 - Navigating irregular paydays 07:23 - Celebrating financial wins 12:22 - About the new Paycheck Budget Spreadsheet 15:42 - Sharing Christmas traditions Do you wish you had a supportive group of women like you to connect with about money?
