๐: Whatโs your number? Not your telephone number. The number attached to your livelihood! The number that would cover your monthly expenses.
This amount is called your MVI: MINIMUM VIABLE INCOME. Things that youโd include in this number:
- Housing
- Utilities
- Food
- Insurances
- Routine Bills
- Transportation
- Personal Grooming
- Student Loan Payments
- Pet Costs
- Childcare
- Medical Expenses
- Savings
- Emergency Fund
This MVI does not include your designer handbags and clothing, lavish travel, weekly hair appointments, upgraded experiences, or excessive alcohol consumption (no judgment ๐คฃ)!
The number includes your routine/basic necessities. Knowing this number will help you when youโre seeking higher paying jobs, streamlining your existing expenses, or planning for a new purchase.
TRIM THE FAT!
After you account for your financial baseline, then you can add in more of your wants, treats, and pleasures!
