Fun money
In shortA budget with no room for fun doesn't last. Plan the treats instead.
A budget with no room for fun is hard to keep. One treat breaks it, and then the whole plan feels broken.
So give fun its own envelope. It's for anything you enjoy, and it needs no reason.
Example: small treats add up
- Coffee, 5 days a week
- $6 each
- Over a year
- $1,560
Keep the coffee. Just plan for it.
Fun money is spent on purpose. Enjoy it, with no guilt.
When it runs out, fun waits until payday. If it runs out every time, raise the number a little and lower another envelope to match.
