[quote=Anonymous]I am often baffled on this forum how people have ability to make a decent income and still struggle to understand how to live within a budget. And no OP that was not directed at you. Just in general here on DCUM. Either it seems people want to live beyond their means, keep up with Jones, or not make necessary cuts/certain steps to obtain financial wellness/security/ what have you. I can post a budget, but I hesitate as I often find people don’t want to live the way we can afford to live in this area. However, I for one, do not want for much. I think it will help you to think about what truly brings you joy and eliminate non-necessities that don’t. Think in terms of your $ being spent as your life energy (because you labored for it at work). So really eliminate excess and focus that $ on the things that elevate your life. For you, not to impress neighbors, not on autopilot spending because “that’s just what people do.” Hope this helps![/quote]
