My Story
I’ll be honest with you: I am a budget nerd.
I’ve tried just about every budgeting tool on the market. I love doing it. Even when things go wrong or I overspend, I like at least knowing where my money goes.
At the risk of sounding like a super nerd, I find it kind of fun.
The problem?
My husband doesn’t find it fun at all. In fact, our budget meetings would overwhelm him.
We’ve tried several different types of budgeting apps over our 10 years of marriage. They all stressed him out or made him feel like I was tracking every time he bought a caramel macchiato. I knew there had to be a way to talk about our spending without showing him a million budget categories.
I also really wanted to make our budget meetings shorter and more efficient. I wanted to feel like a team when it came to money, but I couldn’t do it if every budgeting tool we used only showed him failures, like how we were in the negative for our grocery category again(why is food always the culprit?)
So, I co-created the Five Minute Budget for the thousands of people like my husband who really want to be financially successful but absolutely hate micromanaging a budget.
It’s made such a massive difference in our lives, and I’m so excited to share it with others who want a straightforward, shame-free way to budget.

The Budget for Busy families
MY Story
I’ve tried a lot of different budgets. But none of them would stick.
The truth was, they all felt overly complicated.
Envelopes, zero based budgeting, groupings.
It all felt like too much to do.
With the day-to-day challenges of work and family, I needed something that would let us know quickly where we were at in our monthly spending and allow us to take action when needed.
All I wanted to know was if we were on track for the month, that way if we needed to change how we were spending we could.
So I set out to find a simple way to keep our families spending on track that we could do in a few minutes a day.
It’s simple to use and easy for everyone to get started.
This active tracking of our spending changed our finances years ago and set us on a better path.
Now we have control over our finances, we’re even mortgage free, and it takes us only a few minutes a day to do it.
I would love to see it do the same for you. Give the Five Minute Budget a try today.

Some great questions you’re probably wondering
I've tried budgeting in the past, and it didn't work too well, it was too complicated. How simple is the Five Minute Budget?
It’s really simple, there are two sheets, one for your monthly recurring spending, and one for you day to day spending.
That’s it. We purposely made this as simple as possible so that everyone can use this system and start to see better results in their lives.
We want it simple because we want you to get started quickly and be able to stay with it. Money is worth mastering and we want to help you get started with the right steps.
How long does it take to get set up?
Depending on how well you know your monthly numbers (things like mortgage, insurance, heat etc…) you can get the sheet up and running pretty quickly (in under an hour for most people).
How long does it take to work for me?
Budgeting is a different process for everyone, and while we want to give you a definite timeline, the truth is everyone is different.
What we do know is that people who use this start to make positive changes in their spending almost immediately.
That’s the power of using something that easy to use.
I know nothing about technology. Can I use the Five Minute Budget?
Yes! This was built for people who aren’t techies. We give you all the resources to get started quickly and easily. Plus we are there to offer support in case you need it.
Do I need to sync my bank accounts or remember log ins?
Nope. We found that a big sour point for most budgeting tools is constantly entering in your login information. So we got rid of it.
There is no need for you to enter in you bank details. We’ve made this extremely easy and low tech so that you can use it right away.
How is this different than the other budgeting products out there?
Great question, you’re so smart. This is built for people who don’t want to budget. Most products that are out there are built for people who, for some unknown reason, enjoy spending hours on their budget.
We know that’s not you.
So we built something that you can use quickly everyday to keep an eye on your finances and spending.
Is it a one-time charge or a monthly membership?
It’s a one-time charge, most other budgeting products are monthly charges and we believe that the whole point of budgeting is to have less of those monthly costs not more.
So we made it the way that is best for you. Make sense?
Will this make budgeting fun?
Let’s be honest, budgeting at times can feel like you are portioning out rice on an episode of Survivor.
It’s ok, everyone feels that way once in a while.
That said, we do our best in our emails to you to help you see the brighter side of budgeting and make life feel less like you are trying to survive tribal council.
