Around these parts, we can’t resist a good analogy.

If you are feeling a little lost today, this video should serve up some budgeting inspiration, delivered in the form of an epic road trip analogy.

Because it’s summer and we hope you budgeted for a road trip this year. And also because budgeting itself is a journey.

There will be highlights, long stretches of open road, happy accidents, junk food, and at some point you might get a flat tire. Will you let that completely derail your financial future? Of course not. You’ll shake it off*, roll with the punches, and get back on the road.

*Warning: This video may contain Taylor Swift lyrics.
