If you only look at your money once a month, you could be making budgeting much harder than it needs to be.

In this video, I'm sharing the simple weekly money routine I use to stay on top of my spending, check my budget is actually working in REAL life, keep an eye on my sinking funds and savings, and spot problems while there's still time to do something about them.

Because making a budget on payday is the easy bit.

Actually living with that budget for the next 30 days? That's where things tend to go slightly wonky. 😂

We'll cover:

💷 Why I check my money every week
🧾 Why manually tracking spending can be so useful
📊 How I compare what I planned to spend with what I ACTUALLY spent
📅 Why I look ahead at the next seven days
💰 Checking sinking funds and savings goals
🔄 Why changing your budget doesn't mean you've failed
🧠 The little bit of reflection that can completely change how you manage your money

I'm also using my Ultimate Budget Binder throughout the video. I created it to keep your budgeting, spending, savings and financial goals together in one place, so if you'd like to have a look at that, you'll find it here:

You absolutely DON'T need a fancy system to start doing a weekly money reset, though. Grab a notebook, open your banking app and give yourself 15–20 minutes once a week.

You don't need the perfect budget.

You need a budget you keep coming back to.
