276: Carl and Mindy’s Spending Summary: Why Did We Go So Over Budget in January?

Emergency funds, frugal experiments, free photons, and “thoughtful spending” were just a few things that came to light during Carl and Mindy Jensen’s January 2022 budget recap. If you didn’t know already, Mindy has been publicly tracking her expenses and budgeting for BiggerPockets Money listeners (and the world) to see. But of course, as soon as Mindy shared her public budget, things started to go awry. Nothing says “let’s start the month off right” like car repairs, furnace replacements, and sky-high gas prices. But, Mindy isn’t a quitter! Even with some big emergency expenses, she and Carl have managed to stay within budget for most of their costly categories in spite of life's fun financial curveballs. Carl and Mindy discuss their January “frugal experiment” including hotels and air fryers, how “dry January” became “moist January”, and why this financial powerhouse has opted out of the traditional emergency fund. If you’re starting this year with a few budget busters like Carl and Mindy, don’t let it keep you from hitting your overall 2022 spending goals. Track it, stick with it, and shoot for FI! In This Episode We Cover How expense tracking inadvertently stops you from overspending Using money in the most efficient way possible so you can increase your “thoughtful spending” Budgeting wins (and challenges) that Mindy and Carl faced this January Preparing from unexpected budget busters and whether or not an emergency fund is necessary How to allocate large bills throughout the year so you don’t go over budget Splurging on things you truly enjoy while keeping everyday costs as simplistic as possible And So Much More!
