Dear Dave,
I’m just starting my debt-free journey and trying to lay out a budget. What are your thoughts on budget billing for utilities?
Ryan
Dear Ryan,
I think it’s wonderful! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it at all. For a lot of folks, especially those in your situation, it helps smooth out utility payments and make them a little more manageable.
In most budget billing scenarios, they add up your utility bill for the last 12 months and divide that total by twelve to determine a fixed billing amount for the next twelve months. It can make things so much easier when you’re first starting to live on a budget, and you don’t have a lot of wiggle room where your finances are concerned.
I’m glad you’re taking steps to get control of your money, Ryan. You can do this!

(Emergency fund for business?)
Word count: 233
Dear Dave,
I have my own small business. My annual sales are just over $100,000, and I have a couple of months in administrative and general expenses set aside. Should I have an emergency fund for my company, too? If so, how much?
Taylor
Dear Taylor
This is a great question! I like the idea of a small business having six months of expenses set aside in an emergency fund. A financial cushion like that provides peace of mind and options. Also, it eliminates the need for borrowing money. With that kind of cash sitting around, you basically become your own line of credit.
When it comes to personal finance, I usually recommend setting aside an emergency fund of three to six months of expenses—depending on a person’s overall financial condition. But the basic idea is the same, regardless of whether you’re talking about personal finance or the financial health of your small business.
An entrepreneur has enough to worry about on a day-to-day basis. Having a fully-funded emergency fund for your business can turn a disaster into nothing more than a minor inconvenience!

Kurt Travis
Announces New Solo Album
There's A Place I Want To Take You

Watch New Video "Easy Peasy": youtu.be/cZZwAdVHnc0
Sacramento, CA - April 16, 2019 - Kurt Travis is thrilled to announce his brand new solo record, There's A Place I Want To Take You, out May 17th via Esque Records and Blue Swan Records. Travis has also shared the first single and music, "Easy Peasy," streaming now at youtu.be/cZZwAdVHnc0 . Fans can pre-order the album at www.esquerecords.com.
"This song is one of my favorites on the album. It's very playful and light hearted," shares Travis. "The song is about how I don't like waking up in the morning, and also, how I have hard time falling asleep."
He continues: "I called it 'Easy Peasy' because the song is repetitious and the structure is simple, but while tracking guitars for it, was actually quite difficult to record."
Additionally, Travis will be supporting the album with a full US headlining tour starting on May 17th. The run kicks off with an album release show in Placerville, and includes stops in Salt Lake City, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Orlando, Nashville, Dallas, and more.
