Good morning! 

As summer kicks off, so do new expenses—travel, celebrations, and everything in between.

That’s why we pulled together your June Budget Toolkit, full of what to expect this month, where to save, and how to make the most of your money while still enjoying the season.

What to Include in June’s Spending Plan 📝

• Father’s Day (June 16) – Gifts, cards, outings, or brunch with Dad.

• Graduation Gifts & Parties – Cards, cash gifts, travel, or hosting expenses.

• Summer Travel – Gas, flights, Airbnbs, pet sitting, vacation clothes.

• Outdoor Fun – Pool passes, concert tickets, gear for hiking or beach trips.

What’s on Sale in June 💸

• Gym Memberships & Fitness Programs – Like our Healthy Summer Challenge on sale for 50% OFF 😉

• Tools & Home Improvement Gear – Father’s Day promotions = big discounts.

• Dishes & Kitchenware – it’s a big wedding month which means kitchen gear is often marked down.

June’s Big Money Move 🗂️

This month, take some time to talk about your 90-day transaction inventory with a friend or partner.

You don’t have to go line-by-line together. Just share what you noticed, what surprised you, and where you want to improve. You can expect:

• to spot habits you might not see on your own.

• reflect on what’s working, what’s not, and what’s behind the money choices you make.

• hear someone else’s perspective, which can give you new ideas or motivation to keep going.

What to Cook? 👩🏻‍🍳

Take advantage of in-season produce and warm weather meals:

• 🥗 Halloumi and Watermelon Salad (serious eats)

• 🍝 Caprese Pasta Salad (Cookie + Kate)

• Check your Sunday Reset for more!

See ya,
