Budget, Save, Buy Steem

Know Where Your Money Is Going!

I’ve been pretty excited to start buying Steem again and finally got around to making a plan to averaging in.

I decided to download a budgeting app to see how much I could invest a month and became instantly queazy when I saw how much money I spent in the last week on bars and Ubers!

It sucks because the money I went over for this month is going to have to come out of my investment budget, which is motivation enough to start being more responsible when it comes to my finances.

Sacrifice

After making my monthly budget I added a misc. & shopping category, which should cover all of my everyday random purchases.

My goal is to always end the month under my allocated amount, so I can add even more to my invest pool each month.

I believe finding where you can cut back and making sacrifices are going to be key to truly prosper during the remainder of this bear market.

Although I had a small set back on my quest to 20K monetarily, I think this lesson in organization and financial planning will be invaluable as I continue my financial journey towards stability.
