"Allegra, you’re great…but this is boring."


March 20, 2025

Reader,

Talking about budgeting is sooo boring, amirite?

Unless you’re me. I could geek out about this stuff all day.

Do you know how giddy I get when someone sends me a question about spending, or YNAB, or how to plan their money toward a goal?

(Seriously. Send me all the questions!)

But I know I’m the exception. For a lot of people, “budgeting” lives in the same category as going to the dentist or watching paint dry (though you might love those things, too.)

I know this might not feel fun. But it can be.

Looking at your money. Deciding what to do when that next paycheck hits. Moving dollars between envelopes. Watching little piles grow.
Having money ready and waiting when the car payment is due next month?

That can feel exciting, soothing, comforting, and yes - even fun.

And honestly? Bored ain't bad. It's something I tell my kids all the time.

Boring could mean stable.
Consistent.
Calm.
Knowing.
Predictable.

Maybe it’s the opposite of drama, uncertainty, fear, avoidance, or hoping it all works out.

And when it comes to your money… maybe that’s exactly what you’re ready for.
