So, who wants to start us off with some tips or discussion points?! We're all here because we want to be savvy with our family finances in some way - whether that's budgeting better, dealing with debt, planning for the future, etc.
I'll go first! I'm currently trying to get ahead of my husband and my combined finances. We've always been pretty relaxed about money, but with two kids now and some larger goals in mind (early retirement, travel funds), I want to get super organised. My current challenge is creating a cohesive budget that accounts for all our expenses AND savings goals. I feel like I'm doing okay with the day-to-day stuff, but struggle to plan ahead - e.g., Christmas always sneaks up on me!
What about you guys?
