Episode 002: Starting a Budget

Welcome to Episode 002 of the Money Peach TV & Podcast. In today’s episode I am going to break down the art of budgeting.

I know, I know…living on a monthly budget sounds absolutely terrible, right?

Well, so does living paycheck to paycheck, completely broke, and wondering what in the hell happened to all the money when you’re entering retirement flat-out broke. No thanks.

Here is the absolute truth: If you don’t manage your money, your money will leave you and go to someone else who will. This is why the rich get richer and the poor get…well poorer. If you want to be rich people, do rich people things. If you want to be poor people, do poor people things.

Hint: Rich people know how to manage their money. Rich people budget.

The first step to solving your problems with money is to take back control of your money. This always starts with the Budget.

Right now, 7 out of 10 people are living paycheck to paycheck. This means seven out of ten of your friends, family, neighbors, are financially stressed out. They are hoping and praying there will be enough money at the end of every month to simply make it. 

This sucks.

It’s not their fault or your fault for this form of crisis living. Think about this: Who has ever shown us how to do a REAL budget?

In this week’s episode, I am going to break down each step for creating your very first budget. I have also provided a PDF Cheat Sheet below to help you get all of your expenses on paper – you’ll learn that our lives are much more complicated than think.

After you grab the cheat sheet and have it filled out, I also have the acual Budget for you to get started right away.

Remember….What get’s measured get’s managed.

I’ll see you inside the next Episode of Money Peach TV & Podcast each and every Thursday!

Chris Petrie

Chris (Peach) Petrie is a personal finance expert, money coach, speaker and podcaster.

In 2011, Chris and his family were exhausted from living paycheck-to-paycheck and facing a mountain of debt. They started going against the society standards of misbehaving with money and made the decision to take back control of their lives and money. Within seven months they paid off $52,000, started saving like crazy and began building real wealth.

The word spread fast and Chris started showing friends how to create a budget over dinner. Soon after he started showing their friends how to do the same and eventually Chris started teaching personal finance classes around the community. As the need for the classes grew, Chris launched Money Peach in 2015.

Money Peach was created to help everyday people remove the stress and fear of money by showing them how to save more, make more, and keep more of their money.

Chris Peach has been featured in places like Business Insider, The Huffington Post, Elite Daily, and CheddarTV.

When Chris isn’t at “work” he can be found at the Crossfit gym or riding on the fire truck — Chris is also a full-time firefighter in Phoenix, Arizona.
