If you keep creating a budget only to blow it, dip into your savings or run out of money before payday, this episode is for you.

Because sticking to a budget isn't necessarily about having more discipline.

Often, you simply need a better system.

In this Start Here episode, Canna answers one of the most common budgeting frustrations: "I genuinely want to be better with money, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to stick to my budget."

Canna explains why so many budgets fail, the expenses we commonly forget to include, why looking at one month of spending can give you a completely inaccurate picture of your finances, and why your budget needs to evolve as your life and cost of living change.

You'll also learn the simple SugarMamma cashflow system Canna uses and teaches, in her new book that she co-wrote with Michael Thompson from Fear and Greed. You can grab your copy here:
