Why I have budgets on my mind  
This will surprise exactly no one, seeing as I send you this newsletter every week, but I think  
about budgeting a lot. (I am also fun at parties.) Lately, I’ve been thinking about it even more.  
A lot of people, including me, are committing to doing more to dismantle racism   and

money  
to the fight.  
That means a) making sure it can fit into your budget, and then b) specifically  
dedicating some of your budget for that purpose.  
I did that exercise last week with my spending plan for June, trimming back in order to make room  
for BLM related donations.  
I also wanted to do a better job of regularly supporting the causes I  
care about, so I decided to make some of the tradeoffs more permanent in order to set up a handful  
of recurring monthly donations.  
Also, I know that as the economy begins to open up again, people are going to start to go back to  
work, earn income, and decide how best to use their money going forward.  
Budgeting can really help  
in that situation, too.  
Also also, I just like talking about budgets.  
winking face  So this week, I’m sharing some articles to help  
you plan out your money in a way that works for you.  
Until next week,
