Budgeting isn't as straightforward as it seems

[Leahized]

Because our mind is setting on how much we're going to spend depending on our budget. If you're earning low, it's also going to make you adjust for what you're going for the expenses.
It's about how we manage our finances and that's why the high earners are also adjusting their lifestyle when they earn well compared in the past.

I believe, you will agree with me. Because when a person increases their financial income, their expenses will also increase. However, there is no exact guideline that one must always save. Rather, steps should be taken according to the situation. I can say from my real life experience. My monthly earnings are the same as before, but the prices of daily goods and monthly expenses have increased. Therefore, it will not be possible to save as before.

So, if financial income does not improve or increase, saving in the current context is almost difficult. Because the prices of everyday items, clothing, vehicle rentals, everything has increased. And excessive inflation has occurred, resulting in no profit from investments. Therefore, one should not be encouraged to change their lifestyle.

No matter how many apps you have in your phone and you did not put it into practice in time of spending honestly those apps will be useless which was why I agree with your point. We should always make sure we maintain our spending by doing it below what we are earning, if this is put into practice and consistently you will achieve your aims of what you want to do.

The biggest source of spending ends up being the subscriptions. Being one of the old skool internet people, I dont find problem in ignoring them, because I know how to get those stuff for free if I need to and save the possible spending from happening. Few things are necessities and you cannot do without them, those are going to be there. But choosing public transport over a car/cab and choosing to walk ~2-4km per day in two shifts makes a big difference. Cut down on all types of beverages like tea coffee and any addictive substance and you will be able to save a good amount of money.

Budgeting is a habit, you cannot start it today and expect it to work out, it will not.

Budgeting is a habit, you cannot start it today and expect it to work out, it will not.

And if it is a habit then we need to be consistent. But as humans, sometimes we fall for some mistakes and then we are back to square one with our budgeting. So it might not be easy as it sound, but there could be some individuals who dedicate their time and effort because they have that desire to make both ends meet, if you know what I'm saying.

That's why it's really very difficult for me. So I just take it like every paycheck to paycheck to see how it goes. And if there are some money left, then I will continue to invest on Bitcoin and still hold on it as long as I can.
