I’m up in my bank account every week writing every transaction out in a spreadsheet and I’ve never been better with money in my whole life. Also helped me notice asap when a whole mess of fraudulent transactions slipped in while I was occupied moving and otherwise wouldn’t have seen them for a while. It’s absolutely more effective than a Mint budget tracker because you have to confront EVERY purchase and contemplate what actually has value to you.
currently being a bit more financially responsible and finding that the only way for me to stay on top of things is to know my daily budget and actually write it down and see the numbers with my own eyes, because numbers don't mean shit to me otherwise
I've looked at my bankaccount and it's empty after spending without restrictions during my vacation. I don't feel guilty or bad about it like i used to. I feel happy to have the chance to do it. I ear my mom everyday, be stressed about every money related subject. Maybe it's because she has children, she's a lot more worried about everything. I recommend letting go from fear in money topics.
Recently realized mine has a ton of random stuff that I’d never buy available for rent…other examples of stuff they have…ukulele, crutches, projector, dehydrator, sewing machine
