Thank you for stopping by for the very first Budget Tip Tuesday here on the blog! I will be adding a new budgeting tip every week on Tuesdays, so make sure to check back often.

Today’s tip is to write it down. Seriously, write everything out for your budget so that it’s clear and right in front of you. It is so much easier to organize your finances and see what steps to take next when you put it in black and white. For me, writing is very calming and I remember things better that way. I use my Budget Notebook to write out my personal finances every 2 weeks when I get paid. It has made a huge difference in my stress level over money! Make sure not to overlook little things like birthday gifts you need to pick up or weekend trips you want to make. If it includes money, don’t skip it. Write it down. You will thank yourself later when you aren’t surprised!
