Ryen & I are talking about our June 2022 budget numbers! Not only do we show where our dollars went, but we also discuss if we stuck to our budget limits.

In this video, we are going over some heavy spending I had in June (thank you, sinking funds!) and Ryen gives an update on her debt payoff timeline.
