BUDGETING

Budgeting can often feel overwhelming and like a chore, it is not a one-time fix and requires trial and error to find what works for you and your lifestyle. Breaking down budgeting into a cycle is an easier way to create a successful budget, the cycle starts with 1. Preparing (estimating your income and spending), 2. Create (set your budget), 3. Implement (refer to plan when making decisions), and 4. Review (see what worked this month and what didn’t).  This model is a budgeting starting point with an aim to showcase different budgeting strategies. We hope this page can help you brainstorm what practices you would like to include into your daily life and prepare you for the delicious recipes to come!
