I’m documenting my real-life journey of budgeting by paycheck and preparing for retirement in the next 2–3 years. As a proud Gen X’er, I use two tools to manage my money:

💡 You Need A Budget (YNAB) – digital, flexible, every-dollar planning
📖 The Budget Mom Budget by Paycheck Workbook – paper-based tracking

On this channel you’ll find:
✅ Weekly check-ins to stay accountable & manage any overspending
💰 Paycheck allocations (“Ready to Assign”)
🧾 Reconciliations
📅 Monthly setups in both YNAB & Budget by Paycheck

This isn’t financial advice—I’m sharing what’s working (and what isn’t) as I prepare to retire with confidence.

👉 If you’re budgeting, saving, or planning for financial freedom—join the journey!

Paycheck hit! Look for a YNAB Ready to Assign and Tracking Account Reconciliation video later.

No paycheck in my account yet. I suppose I entered the date wrong on my calendar. 🤔 I thought it was too early! Should have trusted my instinct! Maybe Friday??
