How to Build the Ultimate Budget.

🌟 WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE 🌟 Budgeting… stay with us 😅 This month on IOU (Some Money Education) , Soph and Vic drag Lucy (lovingly) into the world of budgets, aka figuring out where your money goes before it disappears like your Apple charges. You’ll learn the simple “needs, wants, surplus” split, why planning ahead is basically a money superpower, and how having a clear setup can actually reduce money stress (even if you’re allergic to checking your bank account). Plus: we introduce our newest cast member, Reese Witherspoon the piggy bank, play “spending bingo,” and read out the most unhinged “non-negotiable” splurges: think $100 candles, Sims gaming PCs, and “I bought veneers for copywriting” - yes you read that right. If you’ve ever avoided budgeting because it felt restrictive or overwhelming, this is the episode that will change your mind. Check out IOU (The Practical Lessons) here: We’re proud to be partnering with BNZ. There’s an art to starting something new, and like any art form, you need the right tools to make it work. Whether you’re flatting, saving to travel, or making a career move, BNZ has the tools to help you master your money from the get-go.
