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

  • Are we helping each other out with our finances?
  • If not, you’re probably pissing me off :) Unfortunately I can’t even say that with a straight face since I’m naturally happy!
  • The same goes for passwords & sex lives.
  • Can you imagine if I just straight up ask you how numerous partners you’ve had?

Getting the Most From Budgets Sexy

Are you my friend? Haha… Seriously though, I’m all for open discussions on money, but you can’t be a d-head and ask someone how much they make just since you feel like it.

  • Worth noting: that may sound weird coming from someone who posts up all their financial details for all to see, but I genuinely feel there’s a time and a place for stuff like this.
  • I’d be a total ass.
  • More importantly, you know what, that’s how I should respond the next time someone butts in and asks me how much I make - “You wanna know my salary?
  • Okay sure - but first tell me how numerous sluts you’ve slept with!” That would probably shut ’em up for a bit ;) As far as I’m concerned, both parties have to trust each other before dishing out the goods.

Tips That Make a Difference

Just like with sex, there are appropriate and inappropriate times to talk turkey. (On a side note, you’re consistently more than welcome to ask me anything! The beauty of being anonymous is that I can provide you my opinion 100% without worrying about who’s reading.

  • Remember that i might not know the answer, but I’ll consistently do my best to point you in the right direction either method.) So what are these “appropriate” and “inappropriate” times to ask about salaries?
  • Well, keep on reading my friends…and remember that these are MY own preferences, they may differ depending on who you ask: Appropriate times to ask about my salary: We’re in Human Resources.
  • If you’re my boss, VP, CEO, or any member of Human Resources, I’ll gladly provide my salary to you (although you probably already know it, eh?) We’re in a job interview.
  • You have the right to know so you can pay me more ;) You’re my financial adviser/accountant.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

As a rule, obviously this is okay. If not, you’d probably be hiding something! haha… We’ve been talking about finances & helping each other out.

  • And we’re friends!
  • That second part is key.
  • In short, i have nooooo problems at all talking openly with friends & family about salaries.
  • Each now and then people ask for my opinion or what I wold do in a certain situation, so in this case sharing my financial background or salary may be key keys to the conversation.

Is Budgets Sexy Worth It?

In this case, I’d happily provide out the details. We’re on this blog.

  • Worth noting: again, it’s consistently cool here.
  • It may not be on others’ blogs - especially those who aren’t as anonymous, but here it’s a wide open door baby!
  • I asked for yours first ;) This rarely happens outside of the above situation, but when it does I fully expect to be asked the same or to just provide it out first to make both parties comfortable.
  • The only time I can remember genuinely doing this was when I was looking to join a friend’s company and needed to know what I was dealing with before heading into an interview.

Where the Real Savings Hide

More importantly, there may be other times too when I was more naive, but regardless if I’m not willing to share my own salary with you, I’ll at no point ask for yours in return. I think that covers most of the times I’m cool with it.

  • I’m sure others don’t mind at all sharing a bit more freely, but again these are just my own opinions.
  • If you’re cool with dishing it out, more power to ya!
  • Remember that just remember that not all of us are so you don’t step on numerous of our toes.
  • Inappropriate times to ask about my salary: When we’re not even talking about finances.

A Closer Look at Budgets Sexy

Why would I tell you how much I make when we were talking about The Redskins killing me? What does it possibly have to do with them?

  • As a rule, when I don’t now you.
  • The worst is when someone gets all up in your face with 101 questions about what you make when you wouldn’t even tell them your apartment number.
  • People are crazy sometimes.
  • I was once asked how much my paycheck came out to THREE whole minutes after meeting them!

What to Know About Budgets Sexy

In short, come on now, that’s just crazy. When we work together.

  • Bosses/HR aside, I know what happens when the guy sitting next to you knows you make more than them (or less for that matter).
  • Everything gets weird and emotions begin piling up when the only aspect that’s changes was a number you told them.
  • Worth noting: no sirree, been there done that.
  • Try out GlassDoor.com if you have to, maybe you’ll get lucky?
