There's many ways to approach budgeting, and finding a way that works for us that is also simple is our aim! We're revisiting a previous favorite episode to explore some minimal budgeting approaches - listen in! Sponsors:  Frugal Friends Workbook. If you want to do better with your finances this year but you already know you’re not going to turn your life upside down to do it then check out The Frugal Friends Workbook. It’s a digital workbook with 6 week-long challenges that turn improving your finances into a game. In addition to the challenges you’ll get 60 pages of teaching and implementation guidance and while it can be completed on your own, it’s created to be gone through in pairs or small groups that’s why every purchase comes with two downloads. Head to Frugalfriendspodcast.com/workbook to learn more and use the code TACOBELL (all one word) to get $10 off the regular price. No-spend challenges! I have a best-selling book on Amazon titled The No-Spend Challenge Guide and before frugal Friends that was the thing that I was known for. So to say I am a fan of what a no-spend challenge can do for your saving and spending is a massive understatement. I am obsessed. A no-spend challenge is a block of time that forces you to step back from the money routines and habits your brain has been falling back on and gives you the opportunity to make changes. You will hate it. It will be the worst but you will learn so much about yourself and your spending. And over at Modern Frugality I am hosting a free live 7-day no-spend challenge where you will get trainings, insights, and accountability for seven days straight. It starts TODAY Jan, 1 And you can join anytime over the 7-days and get access to everything in the group so come join us modernfrugality.com/challenge and I will see you there. Notable Notes: What the Internet has to say: This article from Savvy Savers Academy (https://www.savvysaversacademy.com/budgets-freedom/) lays the foundation for 'why' having a budget is a good thing. Most of us are on board with budgets being helpful - but this is a helpful argument in case you need a reminder ;) What Jen and Jill have to say: We agree with the point that budgets are glorified 'plans' for our money. Follow through can be difficult, but we have found that when we're not planning we actually have anxiety about spending on anything, even things we need! Budgeting gives you a peace of mind on current spending and future living A good way to start is to track your spending try mint (https://www.mint.com/) A budget gives control and freedom to spend More from the Internet: This article from Student Loan Hero (https://studentloanhero.com/featured/simple-budgeting-methods-for-financial-health/) outlines 5 different budgeting methods and how to incorporate them into your financial planning. More from Jen and Jill Jen uses a zero based or pay-yourself-first method so they can put the highest percentage possible to debt and savings Jen likes the idea of the envelope system and it works great for people like Allison of Inspired Budget (https://inspiredbudget.com/) who we had on the podcast (Episode 18), but it’s not for her Here are the different budgeting methods: Zero-based Pay-self first Envelope system 50/30/20 No budget BILL OF THE WEEK -  Thank you Jocelyn for your bill! We appreciate our long time listeners - and we enjoyed the movie reference! If you want to submit your bill of the week visit http://frugalfriendspodcast.com/bill to leave us a bill Ways to Stick to Your Budget - Tips from the Frugal Friends Community (https://www.facebook.com/groups/frugalfriendspodcast/) ! Sage gets paid the first of the month and will pay all her bills and debt right away then spend whatever’s left. And the key to her success in that is leaving her credit cards at home! Amia plans out the whole month in advance but gets paid bi-weekly so she sets her bills to come out on each of her paydays. And she also keeps the last credit card she hasn’t cut up at home. Christine uses two checking accounts so all of her monthly bills come out of one and she uses the other for spending. This is good if you don’t have the option of paying everything on 1 or 2 particular days. Juvy uses the Mint app to track her budget because she gets notifications when she’s nearing her limit. Apps are a great way to bring your budget with you. I also like HoneyFi it’s a similar budgeting app for couples. Whitney uses EveryDollar and Ashley uses YNAB, all can be configured with the zero-based budget. Sue reminds us to prioritize sinking funds in our budgets so we’re not surprised by those often forgettable or unpredictable annual or biannual expenses. Wrap-Up: Thanks so much for listening! Keep leaving us reviews on iTunes or Stitcher, and sending the screenshot to frugalfriendspodcast@gmail.com (mailto:frugalfriendspodcast@gmail.com) . AND share our most recent episode on social for a chance to win a copy of the Frugal Friends Workbook! Thanks for listening! See you next week!

Jan was born 1960 and grew up in Bury, England. His parents were Danish. In 1967 the family moved to Denmark. Jan’s dad is an engineer and there was no spiritual influence from either parent. Yet Jan showed strong spiritual yearnings since an early age. Jan trained as an artist under the Danish painter Niels Hermann Wamberg; he also studied art restoration at the Royal Academy in order to learn the traditional craft. Jan also studied at the university and acquired an MA in history of modern culture. Today Jan works as a full-time professional artist and also has a software company developing photo retouching plug-ins for Photoshop. After doing Transcendental Meditation and the TM Siddhi Programme for six years, Jan felt the need for a guru and found Gururaj Ananda Yogi whom he stayed with for three years. Then Jan’s Kundalini was so active, that he did not need any other guidance than what the Shakti gave, so he gave up on gurus and meditated by observing the inner Shakti’s workings. Following this, Jan began to be contagious and the Kundalini might spontaneously awaken in those that meditated with him. After some years, Jan met Amma and related to her as a spiritual master for about ten years. But again the Shakti guided Jan to meditate on his own and follow the inner guidance of the Shakti. Today Jan would describe his spirituality as being grabbed by Mother’s grace. The Divine Mother who resides in everybody as Kundalini Shakti and patiently waits to unfold as a vibrating field of love, bliss, and grace. Interview recorded 7/10/2011.

Audio also available as a Podcast.

Now it’s time once again to say goodbye: unfortunately Jan’s internship is coming to an end and Philipp and Paula are thinking about a letter of reference. Today Jan expresses his generosity. There is to be a small farewell party to mark Jan’s last day as an intern at Radio D. He surprises his colleagues with some drinks and snacks. But Paula and Philipp are still busy writing him a letter of reference. For this they need to find the right phrasing, because if Jan gets a good reference then he can maybe attend a journalism school. The professor is taking a look at the conjunctions “falls” and “wenn”, and explains conditional sentences to the listeners.
