A bit of background to this video... As part of their homework, Anna and Grant filled out the Childfree Wealth annual assessment. The assessment is a deep dive into everything financial. We start off the meeting with a review of the assessment, and then pick up our work on their goals.
For budgeting, we use a structure called the Money Management System. In this system, expenses are separated into Musts, Shoulds, Coulds, and Won'ts. Musts are everything that keeps the roof over your head (or you are required to spend). Shoulds are things that you should pay each month (doing the right thing). Coulds reflect truly discretionary spending.
