Description
Most budgeting advice assumes you have money left over to budget. "Just save 20%." "Cut out coffee." But when money's already tight, that advice doesn't help — it just feels insulting.
In this video, I'll show you how to budget on a low income without feeling broke, without giving up everything you enjoy, and without that constant knot in your stomach.
Here's what we cover:
✅ Why budgeting on a low income is about DIRECTION, not restriction
✅ Step 1 — Know your real numbers (the one-week tracking method)
✅ Step 2 — Cover your "musts" first (housing, utilities, food, transport)
✅ Step 3 — Build in breathing room so your budget is actually livable
The secret to sticking with a budget isn't being perfect — it's being consistent. And consistency is what changes your finances over time, even before your income does.
