How To Budget for a Fun Summer (Without Giving Up Nails, Iced Lattes, or Italy)

You’re not out here trying to hoard every penny.

You want to feel free, look good, travel soft, and still build wealth.
But every time you try to “budget,” it feels like the whole world wants you to give up the very things that make life fun:


☕️ Iced coffee
💅 Gel nail appointments
👗 Zara hauls
✈️ Your dream Euro summer

 

The truth?
Budgeting isn’t the problem. The problem is the way it’s been taught.


 

😩 You Don’t Want to Restrict — You Want to Feel in Control

Most money advice sounds like this: “Just stop spending on small things.”
Meanwhile, you’re trying to plan a trip to Italy and look good doing it.
You want:

  • A soft life with freedom and ease

  • Money to actually be there when you need it

  • A plan that works even when your income isn't 100% predictable

  • To enjoy life now, while building long-term wealth

But nobody’s ever handed you a system that lets you do both. Until now.


 

💖 Meet the Hot Money Method

This isn’t a spreadsheet. This is your soft girl spending system.
The Hot Money Spending Tracker is designed to help you save, spend, and glow-up your finances — without giving up the fun stuff.

Here’s how it works:


🔁 Step 1: Pre-Plan the Fun

This method starts by making space for what you love.
You literally budget in your joy spending — nails, skincare, dresses, spritzes.

You stop feeling guilty for it, because it’s part of the plan.


 

💸 Step 2: Track the Vibe, Not Just the Number

You log where your money flows — not to punish yourself, but to see the patterns.

Suddenly you’re noticing:

  • “Wait, I can afford that trip.”

  • “I’m spending way less without even trying.”

  • “I feel rich and organized now.”


 

📤 Step 3: Send Money to the Future You

This isn’t about saving what’s left over.
This is about assigning money to the summer of your dreams, your future self, and your current freedom.

You set up your plan like a baddie with a strategy — not someone who’s “trying to get by.”
