What’ll life be like when you're debt free? One motivating exercise is to create a dream budget. That’s what you’ll do with your money when you are debt free. Will you put more towards savings? Increase your spending money? Add a totally new category?

Tracking your spending is not complicated, but it’s enormously valuable! When you buy something, write down what it was and how much it cost. Then take a minute to think about if whatever you bought was worth the time and energy it took to get that money. Adjust future purchases accordingly.

Building an emergency fund? Don’t worry about interest rates, earning money with it, and or investing it. (Definitely don’t invest it.) The goal isn’t to make money with an emergency fund; it’s to prevent debt and provide safety.

A zero-based budget is where you account for all of your money each month. The idea is to plan out where your money will go, so that it goes where you want it to. Combine that with tracking your spending, and you’ll have some powerful tools for reaching your money goals!

If you want to get out of debt, taking a non-judgmental deep dive into how you got into it in the first place can help. Did you think it was normal? Have unexpected expenses? Overspend? Once you know the main causes, you can take steps to make sure they’re less likely to happen again

Cold weather folks: This is a great time to mark all those spots in the house where cold air is rushing in. You can block it temporarily now, and fix it for good once it warms up to save money on heating and cooling. Getting rid of all those little drafts makes a huge difference!
