Did you know that your D.R.E.A.M.s are totally real and possible to materialize?! No matter how big or small. There just needs to be a little bit of structure in place around your finances, spending, and budgeting in particular.
In this 2 part of the conversation with Nick True from www.mappedoutmoney.com, he shares with us his DREAM process to make budgeting your new favorite activity.
D.R.E.A.M. Budget:
D-determine your current location. Where do you stand? Where all the money is going? No Judgement. Collect all the data.
R- refine your vision. Going for the big picture. Get clear on what you want in life? What should it look like in the next 3 years, what work you want to do, what do you want your family to look like? What are you trying to do? Hobbies?
Do it as a couple, every quarter. Your vision changes. Adjust accordingly.
Write out:
- Bullet points of what life is going to look like in the next 1 yr.

1 to 2 goals. Map it out for 90 days.

Make the plan come to life.
M – Make it a habit – for 3 months.
Put it on the calendar.
