I’ve been working with an entrepreneurial couple on their goal of saving a down payment for a home.

We took an inventory of their income and expenses, and I showed them what it would take to hit their goal in the time frame they wanted. At their current income levels, it would have required cutting some expenses. 

But cutting is only one lever in budgeting. I saw their wheels turning, and by the following week, they had locked in ideas for several other income streams.

This is the difference between thinking of budgeting as a tool for restriction versus a tool for abundance.

Strategic budgeting means setting goals for your money and then pulling all of the available financial levers to ensure you achieve those outcomes. Yes, you can actually reverse-engineer your way to financial success.

If you are a high earner not seeing progress in your finances, it may be time to reframe your thoughts about budgeting from a tool of restriction to a tool of abundance, cash stacking, and wealth creation.
