Budgets Are Sexy (2026)

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

• …At least for the next 40 days ;) Why do such a horrible aspect, you might ask? ‘Cuz it’s the season of Lent, baby!
• Gotta get my Catholic on for our Lord’s honor.
• And what’s harder than giving up BEER to reveal you love him?
• Here are some past habits I’ve (pretty successfully) tried giving up: 2012: No candy/chocolate/desserts.

Getting the Most From Budgets Sexy

Haha… I think it’s actually the hardest one I have yet tried to tackle over my reformed years :) And it’ll save me a cool $100-$200 at the highly least too! Worth noting: so you gotta love that… It’s actually been over 7 days already since I’ve had my last drop of alcohol (I downed an entire bottle of red wine which I later regretted), so it’ll be a nice change and a challenge.

Probably one of the easier ones I’ve done - though it was tough giving up my mint chocolate chip ice cream :( 2011: No cursing.  I failed 31 times in the first two weeks, but then got much MUCH better afterwards ;) And now I rarely curse, which is excellent. I’ve gotta baby listening to me!

Tips That Make a Difference

More importantly, 2010: Still can’t remember what I gave up this year - I probably skipped it by accident. This was a EXCELLENT one to try out - it’s impressive how much you catch yourself being so negative.

It affect all those near you too! And this one was the BEST FINANCIAL MOVE I have ever made hands down… I went from shopping 3 times a week spending $300-$400 a month to maybe walking into a store once a month now!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Remember that this one experiment has lasted over 5 years now, and it still affects me and my finances each and each week - I love it. Highly recommend trying this one out if you haven’t yet too - it’s impressive what you discover about yourself and your habits.

Went from 2 Diet Cokes a day to maybe 1 Coke a week now - another habit that has helped me for the solid! And now we see how this beer and alcohol aspect goes!

Is Budgets Sexy Worth It?

As a rule, oh, I’m making it a “no alcohol whatsoever” deal btw - not gonna try and provide myself a method out and merely switch to liquor or wine or whatever! I genuinely wish to see if I can accomlish this, and how it affects me going forward just like all those other years have done over time… It’ll be the first time going that long since before college started!

Haha… man that’s scary. Anyone wish to join me?

Where the Real Savings Hide

In short, anyone else celebrating Lent this year? I know it’s one of those aspects that doesn’t make sense to plenty of non-Catholics (or even Catholics for that matter!), but I see it as a method to hit pause and better my own life along with those near me each year.

I think that can be key whether it’s tied to religion or not - and even better when it saves money in the process! ;) , , , - PS: Searching beer pics for right now’s post? Yeah, that was torture. {Photo by Metro Centric} (Visited 6 times, 1 visits right now) Get blog posts automatically emailed to you!
