Julie’s thoughts on budgeting

“A little discipline goes a long way when it comes to personal finances. There are almost always ways to tighten your budget and save if you really dig into your spending. It may mean not giving into every whim, but the long-term rewards almost always outweigh short-term indulgences—and you probably won’t even miss that latte/pair of shoes/trendy gadget/pick-your-vice anyway. The best saving strategies are those you set and forget—automated, consistent and easy.”
