Budget Schmudget

It's that time of year when Christmas is forgotten but reality hits with the aftermath of bills. This year we decided to do stocking stuffers only so I totally kicked hiney on how much I spent. Whoop 😝
I love this sweet girls face. Total deniability hehe. Last year, my boss told me about this awesome budgeting website called mint.com. It is completely safe and is run by Intuit. He told me that you can download all your accounts and set up budgets for tons of categories. I signed up and the rest is history. This site is beyond awesome sauce. You get emails when you get close to your budgeted amount on each category. You can also get the app on your phone which I love ❤️!!! This is the app icon
You can add every account you have. I have PSP, 401k and ESOP at work as well as life insurance set up. It also takes your mortgage loan and compares it to the value of your house listed on Zillow. So you add accounts and set budgets and it basically keeps you in line.
And hey what's a couple of threatening emails to help you stay within your budget??? I kid I kid 😉 Actually the bill reminder emails are great for forgetful gals like myself. www.mint.com 😃👍💳💰
