What the video covers
Weekly budgeting works no matter how often you're paid. It isn't about getting a paycheck every week. It's about managing your day-to-day spending one week at a time.
The video walks through the three parts of a weekly budget:
- Your regular income. What you bring home, at whatever interval it arrives.
- Your recurring expenses. Rent, bills, subscriptions, and anything else you've already committed to.
- Your weekly spending limit. Income minus recurring expenses, converted to a weekly amount. This is the number you spend against.
From there, we track a week of ordinary purchases so you can see the number move as you spend.
