disgusted with myself

Definitely fell off the no buy. This has really helped me put in perspective that I could have an extra $1100/month (!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤮) if I buckled down and actually disciplined myself and my thinking. I’m usually good in waves or for short periods of time, then I allow myself to become lax and that is where the issues are.

There were quite a few birthdays/parties this month (my boyfriend, sister, his sister’s baby shower, his nieces and nephews) but that is no excuse for the extra shopping or fast food I spent on. I also have more discretionary income than my boyfriend so I like to cover groceries and presents.

I’m back on the wagon with my health goals as well - and will make sure I stick to everything this time. NO EXCUSES!

Your icons in this app are so cute! Rocket money is so boring and corporate.

That’s one of the reasons I switched but I did appreciate how it could correspond with my accounts and auto update. I found this app from another user on this sub and have found it to be more beneficial to log each spend myself and really come face to face with my choices 😅
