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 intentional with my saving and purposeful in spending less which will eventually lead me to a healthier debt free life.
I’ve been breaking even with my bills and spending, but not saving anything. I’ve decided it’s time for a plan to save for my next car, and to work towards reducing my mortgage.
I want to pay off debt, stop living paycheck to paycheck and build up a very large cushion so I’ve got room to travel with my family and be more generous.
When it come to me and my finances I would like to go deeper into the psychology of my own financial journey. Truly understand my financial behavior so that I can live a life a leisure!
I want to increase my savings
I want to live in a state of abundance to where I’m not concerned how I’m going to feed my family every week. Not rich, confident and comfortable. I want to have freedom of debt and gain the freedom of choice. The universe provides!
I’d like a good sized “nest egg” and know that I’m being intentional with my money. To be able to save for important purchases, but have some fun money and not to worry about retirement income would be nice too.
I want to learn how to make money work for me and see if it’s truly possible to live well with what I earn. I want to acquire good habits
I want to be able to save so much there is no weeks to wait for Payday, to be able to give to others without worrying about my savings , be able to buy within reason for my kiddo
A debt free and worry free life after retirement.
I want to get my house paid off & life would be much easier to do
I want to be committed and disciplined when it comes to savings
I would like to stretch $3,600 for a mo th to the point the last week of the month we are not struggling and have a savings stored up.
My priority right now is making sure that I have enough money, so that I have somewhere to live when I have to move out.
I want to have enough money to rent somewhere to live when I move out.
