    Wealth kick #3: The joy of excel

    Do we all really need a budget? And if we do… why does it feel so intimidating (and kind of boring)? In this episode, we’re reframing budgeting as something a little less restrictive—and a lot more useful. You’ll hear why budgets aren’t about rules, and how a good budget can actually help you say yes to more of the awesome stuff in life. We chat to Reagan White from Where’s My Money about how getting real with the numbers helped him avoid financial panic, and we ask Ruth Henderson (aka The Happy Saver) whow your personality can shape the kind of budget that actually sticks—especially when you’re budgeting with someone else. Plus, we’ve got a simple activity to help you plan for those sneaky annual expenses (hello birthdays and Christmas) before they sneak up on you again. This is the third episode of the Wealth Kick, a limited series to change your perspective on money for the new year. Until the end of January, we’re serving up a little financial soul-searching, easy exercises you can use anywhere, and a few wacky stories.
