Budgets Are Sexy (2026 Guide)

Saving money on budgets sexy does not need to be complicated. Here is a clear, no nonsense rundown of what works and how to make the most of it.

Key Takeaways

• Which I can certainly do for you!! ;) Here’s what’s been brewing lately… 1) I joined a soccer league for the first time in 10 years!
• Except my friend who convinced me to join it didn’t tell me the games were at 10pm at night!!
• We even played one game in the middle of a rain storm in the freezing cold!
• As a rule, lol…) 3) If all that exercise wasn’t enough, I also joined a Gym!

Where the Real Savings Hide

What’s up y’all! Stealing this concept from The Frugal Girl who free flows new aspects in her life each week, and thought I’d do the same as I’ve immersed myself into plenty of aspects lately and kinda just wish to blurt it out rather than neatly craft up individual posts… Unless you wish a whole article on Pokemon?!

• Worth noting: i didn’t think I could do it, but surprisingly once I hit the field I didn’t even notice and all my muscle memory came back and it WAS ON.
• Haha… Of course, I’m one of the oldest ones out there at 43, but hey - It makes me feel younger just being surrounded by everyone ;) 2) I’m a yoga addict now!
• A chance encounter at a coffee shop led me to finally go for it after years of thinking about it, and now - four weeks in - I’ve already done near 25 classes!
• More importantly, no joke.  I knew I would like it, but man - had no concept I would enjoy it THIS much, haha… I didn’t realize how powerful it would be for both my body AND my mind?

A Closer Look at Budgets Sexy

Here’s a short video I did on it after hitting 3 weeks if you’d rather watch that than read ;) I just love the culture near it, and all the people, and *especially* all the words that are used throughout. Like “gratitude”, “mindfulness”, “kindness”, “energy”.

• One of the teachers even ends each session with “If you haven’t been told lately that you’re loved, I love you.” That hit me hard the first time I heard it!!
• Remember that everyone’s so welcoming there… I’ve also been experimenting with the different types of yoga too, like Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, and most recently - Hot Yoga!
• Which is genuinely something!!
• Haha… I almost passed out the first time I walked into the room, but my body has finally acclimated and it’s now one of my favorite methods to wake up in the morning.

What to Know About Budgets Sexy

It’s so hard, and refreshing, at the same time! (Also fun fact: my Wordle scores have been off the chain lately which I 100% attribute to yoga 😂 And now I can actually KEEP UP with all those young whippersnappers at my soccer games too! So I’ve been highly much enjoying their early morning Boot Camps which I alternate with the early morning Hot Yogas….

• Apparently I thrive more in group sessions than being left to my own devices, lol… ***** Quick aside: I was trying to explain all these recent events to a friend the other day, and it dawned on me that I’ve basically replaced spending time on “online projects” with spending more time on “the project of ME”.
• Instead of hitting the laptop at 5 am I’m now hitting the gym and yoga studio, and instead of watching clicks and traffic each day I’m now watching my body and general mood!
• In short, it’s quite a shift for someone who’s so used to being stationary and looking at screens all the time….
• And maybe something to consider yourself as well?

How Budgets Sexy Really Works

When was the last time you worked on the Project of YOU?? Could you carve a little time away this week to build it out again?

• Worth noting: it may not be soccer or yoga, but anything that improves your quality of life is worth spending time on.
• And I’ll tell you this much - just beginning somewhere, *anywhere*, is enough to get the ball moving.
• Which, incidentally, is also what led me to skateboarding the other year after taking them to skate parks and waiting near, haha… So I guess I can’t hate on them too much ;) And now I actually know what they’re talking about whenever they discuss Pokemon which of course they love!
• Here’s Mimikyu btw, my favorite who’s as cute as he is scary (and the one main card I’ve chosen to collect so far): [He’s shy and hides underneath an old rag pretending to be Pikachu, lol..] ****** And then here are some updates on aspects that are OLD!

Getting the Most From Budgets Sexy

More importantly, veggie Juicing - Still going strong!! Though my family has dropped off from joining me so now I only require to make it each other day as it makes enough for two glasses which cuts back on plenty of time… All that cleaning and prepping gets old fast, not gonna lie, but man are the upsides still worth it!

• My weight loss has stagnated, and actually started going back UP (I’m thinking maybe since of all the working out/yoga and building up more muscle?!) but the blood pressure is still low and I’m still avoiding most sugars and junk food too.
• So a excellent habit I plan on continuing 👍 Volunteering - Dropped off a little since taking all those yoga classes, but just recently jumped back into it again and helping clean up/maintain our homeless shelter’s clothing closet.
• Remember that i haven’t seen Lizzy in a while, but hopefully that’ll change now that I’m back, and meeting a ton of other new friends in the process.
• You consistently tend to focus on the job at hand and the “why” behind volunteering, but genuinely the best part of it is just *being there* with people and talking with them!

Tips That Make a Difference

At the end of the day we’re all the same and highly much require connection. Underwear Skipping - Remember when I tried going without underwear earlier this year???!

• As a rule, well, I’m happy/embarrassed to say that it’s stuck, haha… And typically only wear it now when I’m working out/yoga’ing since it’s just so much MORE comfortable without!
• It was fun while it lasted, but then I got tired of feeling so lazy and had to join Real Life again, haha… And I’m glad I did.
• Else none of those new aspects up there would have come to pass!
• Cuz puzzles take so dang long!!!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

In short, i’ll probably whip one out again this upcoming holiday season (why do puzzles feel so solid at Xmas??!), but my obsession there has come to an end. ***** So there you have it! I’ve turned from a coffee shop reader/lazy puzzle person earlier in the year, to a gym/yoga/soccer ACTIVE person now here towards the end of it!

• Wouldn’t have ever predicted that, but as the Year of The Flow continues, I’m constantly being surprised at what life puts in front of me, and even more excited to see what’s coming next… Now tell me what you’ve been up to!
• Any new and fun habits of your own forming?
• Worth noting: has anything completely surprised you lately, for the better or the worse!?
• How are those finances going????
