The goal of the #MyMintBalance campaign is to show that even when we are forced to spend less we don’t have to live less. In the constant effort to maintain balance, obstacles are inevitable, and often those obstacles are financially related. A healthy balance looks a little different depending on who you’re talking to, and there’s a good chance our own idea of a balanced life might be entirely different a year from now. It’s in the spirit of helping each other find happiness when self-care seems out of reach that we’re launching something new: the #MyMintBalance campaign.Īchieving balance takes a variety of forms in our lives - work-life balance, a balanced diet, balancing relationships with personal time, and so on. But what if balancing a budget doesn’t have to mean limiting the amount of joy present in our lives? Instead, what if it gives us an opportunity to break away from the “go, go, go” pace of life without breaking the bank? In fact, it can sometimes feel that maintaining our financial health works directly against our mental health. However, there are moments when those happiness needs just aren’t within our budget. No one should be shamed into believing that a vacation, a night out, or even a coffee is obstructing them from reaching their financial goals. One thing that has stuck out to us is that an individual’s needs are their own to decide. There’s a lot we can learn from these discussions.

Too often people are told that if they want to save money - to even be able to pay for their monthly bills - they just need to cut out the “nonessentials,” like buying lunch, personal grooming, and, of course, that daily coffee run. You may have noticed a significant surge in conversation on your social media about the current state of personal financial advice, particularly around budgeting. The sweepstakes ended as of Sunday, July 21st but the opportunity to join the conversation and share #MyMintBalance lives on!
