Breaking Rule$ - Web Series

Hey Rule Breaker$!

Last week, we asked you to put all of your payment due dates on a calendar and ASK FOR A NEW DUE DATE! Today we’re providing you with an alternative to that.

Depending on your bank and employer, you can request that your paycheck be released a day or two early.

Now, don’t call your bank and yell “RUN ME MY CHECK”, lol. Simply ask them what options are to have your check released into your account early.

Hey Rule Breaker$!

Yesterday in our we told y'all that we're helping you bust through to Financial Independence - that starts today! The first step to bust through is to understand where you're at so you can determine the steps to take to get where you want to go. 👣

In the first step of our Foundations Before Budget series, we're asking you to pull your credit card and bank statements for the last three months and determine where your money is going. Group like expenses in the same categories to see how much money you spend on certain activities each month. Samples of categories include:

Giving 🎁- Tithes, Charity, Christmas Presents, etc.
Insurance 📃- Health, Home/Renters, Auto, Pet, etc.
Food 🌮- Groceries, Dining Out, Pet Food, etc. (*Note: You may find it useful to break this category out
Housing - Mortgage, Rent, Property Taxes, etc.
Utilities 🔌- Electricity, Heat/Gas, Cable, Sewage, etc.
Saving 💰- Emergency Fund, Short Term Goals, Long Term Goals, Travel, Investments, House Fund, etc.
Children 🧑🏽‍🍼- Daycare, Summer Camp, Allowance, Clothing, etc.

Use the template in our story to fill in your own categories!
