How to Prepare Your Budget for the Next Year: A Purpose-Driven and Practical Guide
Budgeting with purpose transforms your financial life by aligning your money with your values, lifestyle, and long-term goals. In this guide, you’ll learn how to build a yearly budget, analyze your spending, identify blind spots, and design a financial plan that supports clarity, control, and confidence all year long.
Budgeting with Purpose
Budgeting with purpose is more than tracking expenses — it’s about aligning your money with your values and future goals. For women, intentional budgeting is especially powerful. Life stages like caregiving, career breaks, and pay gaps often slow income growth — but purposeful financial planning helps you build security and freedom. Join the Budgeting with Purpose Masterclass and start creating the life you deserve.
Understanding Your Financial Ecosystem
We all like to think our financial habits are personal. But the truth is, our ecosystem — our culture, work, family, and society — deeply shapes how we earn, spend, and save. In this article, Afrobudgetingirl explores how to turn that awareness into lasting empowerment and wealth.
From Financial Vulnerability to Empowerment: My Journey with Afrobudgetingirl
More people than ever are experiencing financial vulnerability — even those who appear secure. In this article, Ingrid, founder of Afrobudgetingirl, shares her journey from the French West Indies to the UAE, uncovering what true financial vulnerability looks like, why it affects everyone regardless of income, and how awareness and planning can transform uncertainty into empowerment and lasting peace of mind.
The Real Housewives of Lock-Up Edition
From Bravo’s BravoCon scandals to Netflix’s scam-celebrity specials, we’ve turned fraud into entertainment. But what happens when crime becomes content? AfroBudgetinGirl dissects how race, privilege, and our obsession with luxury blind us to who really pays the price.
My Money, My Aunty, My Friend
Lending money to friends and family can test even the strongest relationships. When repayment lingers or never comes, it leaves emotional and financial scars. Discover how to lend wisely, document agreements, and protect your financial peace — without guilt or resentment. Because the truth is, saying no can sometimes be the most loving thing you do for yourself and those you care about.
Crazy in Love
A breakup can turn emotional pain into financial hardship, leaving you vulnerable to debt and money stress. When love fades, financial disputes over loans, rent, and shared assets often take center stage. If your relationship ends, will you be financially protected, or risk losing your savings, home, and security along with your partner?
The Land of Opportunities
When life abroad becomes financially unsustainable, what do you do? Explore a true story of courage, motherhood, and financial self-preservation — and learn how to build your own backup plan when “starting over” becomes the only option.
Pillow “Money” Talk
The most important relationship conversation is not only about love, it’s also about money. After facing job loss and financial stress, I learned that open, honest “money talks” are the foundation of trust and stability. Discover how communicating about finances can strengthen your relationship and set you on the path to lasting financial resilience.
