Romanticize Your Budget

At the end of 2025, my husband and I both sat down to discuss our budget. We have a lot of debt that needs to be paid down (LIKE A LOT).

After discussing our money problems we decided to make it fun, make it easy.

No unnecessary spending.

Cutting back on date nights, but not cutting them out for good.

Using coupons on any and everything we can.

2026 is the year I am determined to cut our debt in half.

as we grow into adults, it becomes harder to make time for friends so I enjoy planning activities that I would want to do regardless of anyone joining me and then taking a moment to decide which of my friends would enjoy that activity most so that it’s fun and easy for them to join! #lemon8par
