Not too long ago, I shared a conversation with you, here on this channel, all about how to manage money like a minimalist. And in that conversation, I mentioned an expense log that my wife and I built and use in Notion to help us track our finances.
Well, that expense log got an upgrade and now we're doing much more than just tracking our expenses.
So today not only am I going to talk you through this five-step system for financial success, but I'll also briefly show you exactly how we're using and applying these steps to this shared workspace we created in Notion.
