Budgets Are Sexy (2026)

There is a smarter way to approach budgets sexy, and it starts with knowing a few key details. This guide covers them, along with tips you can apply immediately.

Key Takeaways

• For instance, when Google went public in 2004, they included the statement, “Don’t be evil.” While solid, it is not highly inspiring.
• Though, Facebook’s recent investor statement literally changed my outlook on beginning my own additional streams of income.
• Worth noting: if it is solid enough for Facebook, it is solid enough for me!
• Better to Get Moving on Streams of Income Whether we are talking about investment strategies or business concept, I frequently suffer from paralysis by analysis.

Tips That Make a Difference

(Article right now by Evan  from My Journey to Millions) There seems to be a recent trend as so-called “cool companies” put in a founder’s statement each time they go public. In it, founder Mark Zuckerberg said: “Done is better than Perfect” He was talking about rolling out new concepts without anything more than the initial rounds of testing.

• When I heard that statement from Zuckerberg, though,  it completely changed my view on aspects.
• According to Wikipedia, Analysis Paralysis is when one partakes in: “Over-analyzing (or over-thinking) a situation, so that a decision or action is at no point taken, in effect paralyzing the outcome.
• More importantly, a decision can be treated as over-complicated, with too numerous detailed choices, so that a choice is at no point made, rather than try something and change if a major problem arises.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Beginning Another Stream of Income When The Wife was pregnant with our boy, I thought it would be fun to run a pregnancy pool - where everyone guesses when the baby will be born. When I searched the competitors out there, I found that either they weren’t free, or they looked like they were built in 1997.

• I was shocked, so I fast used freelancers to put something together.
• Remember that after our baby was born in December of 2010, I more or less let the site go dormant (it made some money but nothing too crazy).
• Fast forward to January, 2011.

Is Budgets Sexy Worth It?

A highly solid buddy of mine cornered me one day, and said he wanted in on some of my online ventures. After explaining that I wasn’t comfortable partnering with him on my personal finance blog (since the domain was hush hush, and he would be worthless when it came to it anyways), the concept to update the Free Baby Pool came to mind.

• As a rule, he happened to have some of the best programmers near working for him, so he said he was down!  He’d bring on the programmer, and I would bring my experience in inexpensive online promotion.
• We hired one of his employees as a freelancer and got right to work.
• After about 3 weeks, we had a functioning site and that is when the debate began.

Where the Real Savings Hide

Some of J’s other projects, though, like Love Drop, are impressive! In short, could J$ have waited to perfect the project?

• He could have filed 501(c)(3) papers to make it a recognized non-profit or even lined up sponsors before launching.
• He could have also waited to build better protection for the site against freaking dirtbags that would eventually try to take down such a fantastic project.
• While I don’t consider myself a highly inspirational guy, I hope that this post right now inspires just one person to launch their project this week.

A Closer Look at Budgets Sexy

Worth noting: why is the Topic of Multiple Income Streams So Key to Me? For me, multiple streams of income can be used to better your financial situation one month at a time.

• I am not crazy enough to think that Pregnancy Pool is anything more than a fun method for people to set up a free baby pool, but it is possible to make a couple hundred bucks off it each month (eventually, lol).
• I like to call it the Circle of Financial Growth - when one small income stream builds another, and another, and another!
• More importantly, i will apply this income stream to build another from dividends, then eventually pay down all debt which will also free up even more cash flow - thus allowing all of the circles to grow!

What to Know About Budgets Sexy

What About Those Who Are Paying off Debt? Or Just Beginning their Personal Finance Journey?

• What if building streams of income isn’t your “aspect” just yet?
• Remember that it doesn’t matter - the message applies to any level of personal finance.
• For instance: I am frequently asked how a person should pay off his or her debt (highest interest rate vs. lowest balance)?

How Budgets Sexy Really Works

I consistently respond the same method: What motivates you? The type of repayment system you plan on implementing DOES NOT have to be perfect - you just have to get started!

• As a rule, what about setting up your first budget?
• Your budget doesn’t have to be perfect either, it just matters that you have a clue as to where your money is going.
• What about your first investments?

Getting the Most From Budgets Sexy

Isn’t it better to at least get yourself in the game, than just reading book after book after book with no action? In short, there is no such aspect as the perfect investment or debt repayment system.

• How can I be so sure?
• Since if there were, there wouldn’t be so numerous to pick from!
• What projects or plans have you been holding off on? , , , , - Evan writes at My Journey to Millions, a blog about personal finance, estate planning, taxes, and of course his multiple streams of income.  You can also find  him on Twitter at @MJTM.
