I'm pretty similar. I use a piece of budgeting software that gives me a granular view of my spending and saving and investing, but I don't check it every day because I also do the pay myself first method.

If you haven't been able to make as much progress as you would like towards your goals, ask yourself whether they are still attainable or if you might need to pivot, and if they still align with your values and long-term vision. Some people may be rethinking their goals or pivoting due to all of the economic uncertainty happening right now,

Maybe you were planning to take a big vacation later this year, but now you're pulling back to focus on saving, for instance. Or maybe you're moving up your timeline to buy a car. So, Elizabeth, where do you stand with your financial goals for the year?
