Honestly, I didn’t expect much. I thought I’d try this for a month, get annoyed, and go back to my old ways. But something shifted. After a few weeks of these weekly check-ins, I started noticing patterns. I realized I was spending way too much on lunch during workdays. So, I started packing my lunch three days a week. It wasn’t a huge change, but it added up.
Another big one was subscription services. I had like five different streaming services, all used sporadically. I cancelled three of them, saving a decent chunk of change every month. It felt good, like I was actually taking control instead of just letting money drain away.
I also started doing things like looking for sales more consciously, even for groceries. Before, I’d just grab whatever. Now, I’d glance at the weekly flyers, just a quick look. It wasn’t an obsession, just a simple shift in how I approached shopping.
It wasn’t a sudden transformation into a financial guru or anything. I still have my slip-ups. Sometimes I’ll see something cool and just buy it without thinking. But the difference now is, I know where that money came from, and I know what other area of my “Flexible Spending” I need to cut back on to balance it out. It’s not about being rich, it’s about being sensible. And honestly, it feels a lot less stressful knowing where my money is, and where it’s going next.
