Welcome to Believe In A Budget

I’m Kristin, the creator behind the blog. So much has happened since I launched this blog in 2015. It has completely changed my life for the better.

I started my blog because I completely loved reading other websites and bloggers. I was really interested in personal finance (hence, the name of this website!) but my online interests were pretty diverse.

When I started this blog, I was still working at my day job. I had a great job and loved my field of work as a designer. I worked on amazing projects! In addition to working, I also did a lot of side hustling to help get out of debt, save money and save for my emergency fund.

I knew I wanted to start a blog and that it had the potential to be successful, but also knew it was going to be a lot of hard work. For the first few months, I spent all my free time outside of my day job trying to learn how to become a better blogger!

Fast forward to less than a year later, I managed to figure out enough about how blogging worked to quit my day job.

It was a little nerve racking, but I’ve never looked back since! Blogging is one of the best side hustles I could have ever started and I had no idea it would turn into a full time online job. While there are always up and downs with having my own blog and business, I feel very fortunate to be where I am today!

So what did this mean for my blog?

Well, as my traffic increased, so did my blog income!

  • Things went so well my first year of blogging, I quit my job within a year of starting Believe In A Budget to blog full time and provide Pinterest management services to fellow bloggers and businesses.
  • Over the course of a year, I realized I could help more people by offering courses and products instead of working 1:1 with clients.
  • Today, I’ve converted my Pinterest business into multiple Pinterest products to help bloggers, businesses and other virtual assistants learn from my success.
  • In addition, I teach others how to side hustle with the free side hustle idea cheat sheet and the super popular Side Hustle to Success course.
