Budget Bootcamp sounds strict but I’m not one to sugarcoat anything when it comes to a financial crisis.

The most compelling evidence of spending too much money will show up in the actual budget numbers. If you’ve been affected financially by the Covid-19 pandemic making changes has to happen. Budget Bootcamp is not just about spending less it’s changing the way you think about your financial safety net. During Covid-19, I’ve been fortunate to work from home and continue to earn my salary.

Soooo…you’ve got a savings goal (or you would like to finally make one), and you want to track it using savings bullet journal spreads?
