What do you do when you need to add a new expense but your budget already feels maxed out? Recently, I did just that.

In this episode, I walk through the steps I took to make it work:

  • Figuring out the true cost (monthly and yearly)
  • Testing it in my budget and year plan
  • Deciding what categories I was—and wasn’t—willing to cut
  • Adjusting amounts until everything fit

If you’ve ever tried to fit a new cost into your budget—whether that’s kids’ activities, a car payment, or higher rent—this process will help you approach it with clarity instead of stress.
