building blocks of budgeting

The Last budgeting system you will ever need!

After ten years of mastering my budget, I'm sharing everything in this course!

Budgeting isn't Just about the numbers.

And the one-size-fits-all solutions that only fix surface-level problems are NOT the solution! I'm here to give you so much more! A real solution that finally embraces your own unique life, goals, and values. This is more than just budgeting!

Normally I would wait until my car broke down and had to put repairs on a credit card. Was able to save $1700 over the last 8 months to get routine maintenance done on my car. It felt so great to throw down cash when I picked up my car especially after the mechanic kept pushing their credit line to pay for it.

"Budget win!"

A budget does not exist to Restrict you. It exists to honor you.

An abundant life is not about what you have but how you live.

In a world where traditional budgeting is a rigid set of steps that one must follow - or you are a FAILER. If you followed these steps and still come up short at the end of the month - you didn't fail. Your plan failed you.

Are you constantly measuring your success with numbers and feel like you are not making any progress? Does it feel like every time you set up a budget, you only stick to it for a couple of weeks? Budgeting has a tricky way of making you think that if your plan is on paper, it should work. It leaves you feeling like giving up, or maybe budgeting just isn't for you. So why even try?

Budgeting can seem overwhelming when there is so much information out there, but you have no idea where to start. To add the cherry on top, you are being shamed because of how much debt you have or are made to feel guilty based on your spending decisions, even when you have prepared to spend responsibly. Well, I say NO MORE!

It's time to start a financial transformation that allows you to live your life NOW while still taking care of your future self. And guess what! No shame, guilt, or judgment included!

You're in The Right Place if...

...you are finally ready to pay off debt so it no longer weighs you down

...you want to grow your savings and invest for the future.

...you struggle with emotional spending and impulse purchases

...you want to create a realistic budget that honors you rather than denies you

...you find yourself short every month when it comes to your dollars

...you lack organization, clarity, and confidence with your finances

You're in the right place if...

...you are finally ready to pay off debt so it no longer weighs you down

...you want to grow your savings and invest for the future

...you struggle with emotional spending and impulse purchases

...you want to create a realistic budget that honors you rather than denies you

...you find yourself short every month when it comes to your dollars

...you lack organization, clarity, and confidence with your finances

But then there's the self-doubt.

"How do I know what method will work for me?"
"And what if I don't make enough income to budget?"
Also, how do I organize finances in my crazy life?"
"Oh, and is it even possible to control my spending?"
"When do I even have time to budget?"

the unknown.
the Hesitation.

And the list goes on...

"Budgeting has never worked for me, and I always feel like I am doing something wrong."

"I create a budget only to overspend and derail my plan, so I just give up."

"All I feel is guilt from past money mistakes and I feel like they will follow me forever."

And the list goes on...

"Budgeting has never worked for me, and I always feel like I am doing something wrong."

"I create a budget only to overspend and derail my plan, so I just give up."

"All I feel is guilt from past money mistakes and I feel like they will follow me forever."

What if i told you...

budgeting isn't just about the numbers

learning how to budget has positive benefits

it has nothing to do with a rigid set of steps

but instead, it's about learning more about yourself?

and skills that impact every aspect of your life?

and has everything to do with creating a indestructible financial foundation?

Thanks to Kumiko & The Budget Mom system, I'm happy to announce some wins!!"

  1. Thanksgiving is done & I got it all this year!
  2. Christmas is funded. All I have to do is order things.
  3. My trucks TPMS light has been intermittently displaying, so I took it to the tire shop and turns out I needed a new sensor (not cheap). They recommended all four because once one goes the others are sure to slowly follow. I got all four because of my emergency fund!
  4. My credit score is up 32 points!

This is all due to this system and my determination. Last year would've resulted SOOO differently. Thank you Miko!"

A budget is Self-discovery in disguise.

It's time to align your emotional health with your financial health.

Hello, I'm Kumiko, your course instructor! I have set out on a mission to empower women everywhere to regain control of their financial lives. Over the last eight+ years, I have dedicated my life to helping people from all over the world budget without shame and reach their own unique goals.

As a newly divorced single mom making $24,000 per year, I constantly worried about money. After having my son, I decided to fight for something more, a better life with my son. Once I reversed my negative thinking, healed my relationship with money, and discovered the real underlying issues behind my spending, I was able to pay off over $78,000 of debt in less than seven years, build a business, support and grow a community of over 100,000 people, become a national bestselling author, and sell over 100,000 impactful money tools.

Throughout my own transformation, I discovered that one-size-fits-all solutions only fix surface-level problems, which only leave you with more questions than answers. I realized that my custom & proven method had the power to change my life and millions of others.

I am passionate about budgeting because it has the power to give you back control of your finances and allows you to create a roadmap that honors you rather than denies you. I have personally experienced the freedom and stability a budget can provide and how it has the ability to change your life.

I created Building Blocks of Budgeting to walk you through every step of my Budget By Paycheck method so you can experience the same financial fulfillment. If you are ready to stop just writing numbers on a piece of paper and start seeing real progress, this course is for you!

The Budget By Paycheck Method is budgeting your money based on when you are paid versus monthly. It comprises of the Calendar Method, The Paycheck Method, and the Cash Envelope Method. Don't worry! It's entirely customizable for your unique situation!

I love a good sale! I will offer periodic sales throughout the year (and possibly other cool bonuses)! The current full price of the course is $260.

We fully stand behind the value of this course and hope you feel the same way.

If you feel this course didn't provide value to you, please let us know within 30 days of purchasing. Due to everything being able to be easily downloaded and saved to your personal device, our 30-day money-back guarantee is as follows:
If Building Block 6, Lesson 8 (the Excel/Google Sheets lesson) has been viewed/opened by you, we will honor a 25% refund. This is because people can easily download the file and save it to their device before requesting a refund.

Why don't you offer a payment or installment plan?

I believe that "Buy Now, Pay Later" and Installment Plans hurt you more than they help you. Sure, five easy payments of $50 seems like a smaller hit to your budget and even more affordable, but the truth is, these types of payment options don't align with the healthy habits I teach and preach at The Budget Mom.

Having awareness around the reality of how much you are REALLY spending is crucial, and sometimes having a slap in the face moment with the actual cost is necessary. 

I know the Building Blocks of Budgeting will help you transform your finances and will be the most helpful tool you can start implementing in your life immediately. That said, I never want you to give in to instant gratification. If you don't have the money to pay for the course upfront, I don't want you to buy it. Yes, you are reading that correctly. Instead, use my free resources to get started, save a small amount from each paycheck (the exact amount you would have paid for installment payments), save the money, and then come back and pay for the course.

This is called becoming a patient spender, which completely changed my spending mindset. Building Blocks of Budgeting is life-changing, but I want to ensure you set yourself up for success from the start!

Why am I being charged sales tax when I go to pay for the course?

U.S. laws around sales tax have been evolving rapidly over the last few years. Among other changes, these laws generally require central marketplaces like Teachable (rather than individual sellers using these marketplaces) to collect and remit sales tax to government authorities. These pieces of sales tax laws are known as “marketplace facilitator laws”.

These laws are complex and vary from state to state. Additionally, not every state has passed these laws.

Like EU/UK VAT, U.S. Sales tax is applied based on where your students are located. So even if you’re not based in the U.S., these changes are still relevant if you sell to students in the United States.

U.S. sales tax is applied at the state level, and states have different laws about which products and services are considered taxable in the state. For example, some states tax video streaming services while others do not. Individual states also choose their own tax rates.

I don't have debt. will this course still help me?

Yes, absolutely. A debt payoff journey isn't about the amount you have or making payments. It's about learning the healthy habits and skills necessary, so you don't go back into debt in the future.

This is called becoming a patient spender, which completely changed my spending mindset. Building Blocks of Budgeting is life-changing, but I want to ensure you set yourself up for success from the start!
