i have finally created a spreadsheet to track my expenses, savings, bills, spending, and financial goals like an adult.

....i hate it.

#its super depressing to see how much i spend on non necessities lol #i cannot conceptualize amounts or costs in my head AT ALL #so tho its awful to face reality this also really helps #and now i can be a bit more realistic #and work with how i spend to get to where i wanna be #i gotta cut down on spending a bit but also gotta be realistic about how i am with money esp with eating out and stuff #the eating out can just be....slimmed #while the shopping definitely needs to be under more control #funny bc i never considered myself a shopper haha #i am JUST BARELY living within my means #also i dont know how ppl are surviving earning what i earn? #like if i had to pay the avg amount of rent id be DROWNING #and need to get MULTIPLE jobs #not just one plus a side hustle #i'd need to be working full time AND part time somewhere somehow #and thats not even adding a CAR and all associated expenses #makes my heart hurt just to think about it #anyway end rant lol #kaatiba.speaks
