Mastering Budgeting with Inconsistent In...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

It can feel hard to master your budget with inconsistent income, especially if you're an entrepreneur. Budgeting and managing your money is hard enough when you have a steady paycheck each month and a laundry list of goals you want to achieve. When you throw in inconsistent income, budgeting becomes even harder. Just like you, I’ve had so many months as an entrepreneur when the numbers don’t add up. I’ve learned a few tricks along the way that I want to share with you in this very special reboot episode.


What You'll Learn

  • How I learned to budget when running a non-profit business in college
  • What steps you can take to set up your budget to plan for inconsistent income
  • What steps you can take when you're in the middle of a month or stretch of inconsistent income
  • The most valuable lesson I've learned as a lifelong entrepreneur to make my budget work
  • Why you can't get past knowing your numbers - and why they are the key to your success
  • How I got past the "I deserve it" syndrome to find balance every month
