Today’s Mini-Assignment
We sat down with some budgeters, and asked them where they want to go financially. Here’s what they said:
“Up. I’d like to go up, which means having more money. I think of a growth chart, like my kids have at the doctor’s office, and I want to check in and see how it’s doing.” Paul, father of three.
“When I hear that, it sounds like a relationship. I want to go places with money, like literally travel.” Kendall, fabulously child-free.
“I think of ‘enough.’ I don’t want to have to think about it as much, not every day.” Matt, thinking about moving.
“Somewhere free, not like I don’t have to pay, but like a feeling of freedom. Thinking about being debt-free, that’s where I want to go.” Karisa, paying off student loans
Okay, now your turn! When it comes to you and money, where do you want to go? Let us know in the comments below!
Happy budgeting,

I would like to be more wise in budgetting our money to save more for our future with my family.
I’d like to be able to retire knowing I can maintain my current standard of living, without fear of running out of money.
I feel exactly the same as Sharon ( above comment). I want to be able to continue my life in retirement comfortably, without fear of running out of money through overspending.
I would like to make sure that I can manage money correctly.
I would like to live without worrying how I will pay for things I need and want. I would also like to be able to give in some fashion to the needy.
I need to get control of how much I am actually spending. Goodbudget is helping me understand where I really spend, and as I learn this, I can start changing my spending habits to more healthy ones.
