Budget Besties, let’s be real—most of us don’t have a money problem… we’ve got a January problem. And not because it’s cold or because the holiday hangover is hitting hard, but because this is the month where all those “surprise expenses” from the year ahead start creeping in… and blowing up our budgets.

In this episode, Shana and Vanessa walk you through how to take control of your money in 2026 by planning on purpose. We’re not just talking about budgets—we’re talking about setting the vision for your entire year and making sure your money supports that vision. Whether it’s travel, a promotion, a kid starting kindergarten, or finally upgrading that 2001 backdoor (Shana 👀), this is the episode that helps you actually get ahead.

We’re sharing how to:

1. Go from “I don’t have a plan” to “I’ve got a plus!” 👏
2. Think big-picture (hello, bird’s eye view of 2026)
3. Break down those dreamy goals into a monthly budget that works
4. Use our Savings Bucket Planner to prep for those expenses that aren’t monthly—but still matter
5. Get your budget to match your life (not the other way around)
6. Automate your budget so your money moves where it’s supposed to—without you lifting a finger

If you’re making good money but still wondering where it’s all going, 2026 is the year we fix that. You don’t need a magic wand, you just need a budget that fits your life and goals—and that’s exactly what we’re showing you how to create.
