Understanding Spend Planning vs. Budgeting

Spend planning is distinct from traditional budgeting and is designed to align financial management with one's lifestyle. Unlike budgets that require meticulous tracking of every dollar spent, spend planning focuses on understanding overall income and average expenses to create a more fluid financial approach. It emphasizes simplicity by categorizing expenses into only two types: bills and spending, and encourages individuals to determine what is left over each month to achieve financial goals. This perspective allows for flexibility, reducing stress associated with strict budgeting while still aiming for financial independence.
