Budget for Tacos

10/23/2020

So we started selling things again that we don't need, and Kyle sold his kerosene heater that was bought to help his home gym! Trust us, even with a heater in Minnesota winters, uninsulated garages are not fun to workout in! 😂😂

We are using that to out into 3 of our sinking funds as well.

If you remember, sinking funds are savings for large events that you KNOW and PLAN for. With bdays and christmas right around the corner we focused on that, with a larger amount towards taxes so we could hit our end goal before tax time!

Are you utilizing sinking funds at all? 💸💸

“When you change the way you think and believe, then you change the way you act.” — Ken Coleman

Taking control of your finances is 80% behavior and 20% head knowledge. Changing the way you act is vital to helping you reach your money goals. And when you truly understand the problems with your behaviors around money, you’ll be able to change the way you act.

It takes some time to un-learn bad financial habits. But once your head is in the right place, your behavior will follow!

The key to wealth building isn’t a high income. Your income is a tool for wealth building. A high-paying job doesn’t hurt, but what’s even more important is how much $$ you have leftover each month.

Our mindset.

Yes, we budget every month to do something "fun" like orchards, festivals, etc. But a "vacation" will be on pause until we are done with BS2 (all debt paid off) and BS3 (3 to 6 month emergency fund).

As we always repeat from live today like noone else so later you can live like noone else!

🌮 I promised you all on our last podcast that I'd give you a review on the copycat Chipotle barbacoa recipe I made, and here it is!

When i first tasted the finished product by itself, I thought that it was good, but wasn't really a copycat of Chipotle.

Then I tried it in a hardshell taco with cheese and lime juice. For one, it's SUPER good! For two, it tasted pretty close to Chipotle's barbacoa! Not exact, but pretty close 😋

I only made a forth of this recipe (it makes 20 servings. So i cut the measurements in half, twice). Here's the measurements I used that turned out well for a weeks worth of meat for myself :)

2 pounds boneless chuck roast (trimmed of excess fat and cut into 2 inch cubes)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or canola oil
2 chipotles in adobo with sauce5 large white onion (peeled and roughly chopped)
2.5 cloves garlic (peeled and roughly chopped)
1 cup beef or chicken broth
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/8 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon cumin5 tablespoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves5 teaspoon kosher salt25 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf

Try Slow-Cooker Copycat Chipotle Barbacoa {Mexican Barbecue Shredded Beef} Garlicky, tender, shredded beef braised in a spicy, smoky, flavourful barbecue sauce!

Monday Meal Plans!

Here are both of our meal plans for this week 😋 Kyle went with ingredients put together and Tiffany went with more recipes! Let us know what you think 🌮

Meal prepping also saves money! When you are paying down debt and have a strict budget, meal prep becomes your best friend when trying to save money! With a set list of groceries, it helps you stick to what you need and not stray off and buy unnecessary food items that will add up, and could possibly not be good for your health! 🙌
