GaleGlider+FollowWhy Our Family Never Budgets Without This One RuleOne thing we never compromise on as a family is our weekly money check-in. Every Sunday evening, we gather around the kitchen table—sometimes with snacks, sometimes just a cup of tea—and go over our spending, savings, and any unexpected expenses. This habit started after a particularly stressful month when we realized how out of sync we were financially. Now, it’s become a non-negotiable part of our routine. Not only does it keep us accountable, but it also opens up honest conversations about our goals and values. It’s not always easy, but the peace of mind is worth it.
