Snag Our Simplified Budget System!

Budget besties, we’ve got a real treat for you today! Our guest, Mary Ellen, is a teacher, a mom of three boys, and a dedicated budgeter who’s so close to getting a paycheck ahead—but just needed a little guidance to connect the dots. If you've ever felt like your money disappears before you even decide what to do with it, this episode is for you!

We break down exactly how to structure your budget when you’re dealing with multiple pay schedules, how to stop feeling like you’re playing financial catch-up, and the simple mindset shift that will help you take control of your cash flow. Plus, we tackle what to do with inconsistent income (hello, commission-based pay!) and how to make sure those extra dollars actually move the needle toward your goals.

By the end of this convo, Mary Ellen has a solid plan to not only get a paycheck ahead but also start saving with intention and tackling debt with a clear strategy. And guess what? You can, too!
