@thatmoneymum: I used to think tracking my spending would mean losing my freedom. BUT after an expensive weekend celebrating my sons birthday I feel more free than ever. I am sitting here adding every expense knowing that we can afford it and we budgeted for it. In the past I would have hidden it away and pretended it didn’t happen. “We’ll start again next fortnight” is what my husband and I used to say to each other. But then the next fortnight there was something else. We only made progress when we decided to be accountable to every single dollar. This spreadsheet is linked in my bio. #budget #budgeting #savingmoney #spendless #budgettemplate #budgetspreadsheet
