Making a budget

Making a budget used to be simple.

  1. Do we have enough money at the end of the month?
  2. Do we pay our credit card bill in full every month?
  3. Do we auto-save money for the future?

Now…

Now it’s different.

Past few days i’ve been itemizing all our fixed and variable expenses.

Eye-opening.

Why change and refocus?

We are heading to a reduced, fixed income soon.

The goal?

Same three original goals, but without dual (or even single) professional job income. Zero jobs moving forward. Only pensions and Social Security. Exciting times.
