About This Site

Budget Reboot is a personal finance blog for homeowners with children. We believe a household budget depends on the age of your child(ren), where you live, and your individual goals and dreams. Goals can be for the short-, medium-, and long-term, so budgets should be adjusted then as well.

Founder Andrea T is a twin mom, budget operations professional, personal finance enthusiast, and former finance journalist.
