The Treadmill Runner

You work hard for your money. You get a good paycheck. But you can't seem to get ahead. By the end of your pay period you are running low on cash. Savings seem out of reach. But why? You make good money. Why are you struggling paycheck to paycheck?

‍

Your Money Strengths

‍

You've learned to live within your means. You make each paycheck last for the pay period. You aren't extravagant and aren't prone to wasteful spending. Your friends and family see you as reliable, a hard worker.

Your Money Weaknesses

‍

Living within your means is good. Living below your means is better. Sine you spend everything you earn you're not able to get ahead. You feel like your running on a treadmill: putting in the work but nothing to show for it.

What Money Means To You

‍

Money comes and goes. You are proud of what you make but know you could be doing more to stretch each paycheck. Savings. Down payments. Kids college. There's got to be a way to make them work.

Your Best Budgeting Strategies

‍

Budgeting can help you put aside a little bit more each month towards your future. Start by understanding your spending. Then ask yourself where you want to cut back, if even just a little. Small wins add up over time. Budgeting helps you celebrate these small wins. And encourages you to keep them up.
