@beccanomics101: Want to stop living paycheck to paycheck? Here’s your game plan: Track your spending for AT LEAST a month. Every dollar. You can’t change how you manage your money if you don’t know where it’s going. (Comment “SPREADSHEET” and I’ll send you the link to my budget spreadsheet that over 20,000 people use to track their spending and hit their goals.) Make sure you’re living below your means. HOW? You need to be earning more money than you’re spending. This is how you create wiggle room! The only ways to do this are to increase your income or decrease your expenses (bonus points if you do both!!) But don’t go from zero to 100 or else you’ll hate your life and fail (not what we want), be realistic about it! Once you have wiggle room, set up an automatic transfer to your high-yield savings account to be used for emergencies only. Start with a goal of one month of expenses. (Comment “HYSA” for the one I use and recommend) Rinse and repeat every single time you get paid!!! And make sure you’re following if you like this kind of content 🥳
The “track every dollar for a month” part is so real. I started using Lumen Budget Planner just to log stuff and it’s humbling fast.

"doing something extra to have 300 breathing room" - only works until you start making your bills dependent on the "extra" 300. Then it becomes a trap. Remember, extra work is for extra savings, NOT extra bills.

Just a simple budget tracker, you log income/expenses and it totals it up.

This literally made so much sense to me and hopefully pushes me more to get better at this payoff journey

AI dropshipping gave me something to work toward, and the flexibility I’m getting now feels unreal.
