Your No Excuse Budget
The biggest challenge when it comes to budgeting is getting over any emotions attached to how or why we spend our money.
I want to teach you the No Excuse Budget and how it can help you take control of your money and remove the guessing game.
TIP - Its very important that you do this with anyone that you share finances with ( for example your spouse ). Doing this process alone is impactful but it doesn't work to it fullest unless you complete this together if you have a significant partner in your life.
P.S. Can I count on you to call us when any friends, family or coworkers are looking to buy, sell or refinance a home? We'd love to help! You can just text/call me at 480.553.8770.
