sharing my experience of going from starving artist to financially stable. capitalism sucks and though it IS NOT POSSIBLE to budget our way out of poverty caused by society structures like racism, sizism and ablism to name just a few, a budget CAN help with anxiety and stress.
resources:
basic budgeting spread sheet: this google sheet is great for budgeting by the month, or for a quarter or semester. basic budget instructions included. see “emergency budget” video below for a walk through.
(****if the link doesn’t work, try right clicking it and opening in another tab/window. you should see a prompt to copy the google sheet. working on making this a little less clunky!)
yearly budget overview spread sheet: i found this google sheet online (the link to the original is on the sheet) and adjusted it to suit my needs. i use it to track yearly spending trends.
