Congrats on dating 🎉 yup, the budget definitely will switch once you have a partner. Me and my boyfriend love going to the movies, so I added a movie subscription to my budget 😅 we’re in the works of moving in together, so my budget is going to change as I will have to add new expenses and take away old ones.

What a wonderful reason for making changes to your budget! I’m very excited for you. Your approach seems like a really good one. Happiness!

Careful spending too much visiting him, I’m almost 6 years into a long distance relationship and I had to put a stop to driving over there because it was breaking the budget. We often meet half way, like today we are meeting at the brewery. It’s been hard doing long distance. Protect your budget and set boundaries based on your goals. 😅

I have nothing useful to say just AHHHH this is exciting and he is ever so lucky! The budget is about to go brrr unfortunately (but in the best way). My boyfriend has me doing something different every other day 🥲 Here's to a super fun summer 🫶
