So all my savings, retirement savings come out of my paycheck first.
And then I have my fixed expenses.
So I know a certain amount I have to spend on my fixed expenses every single month.
And then the rest is a free for all girl.
Do what you want.
So I kind of just separate, in other words, my needs versus my wants after I pay myself first.
And then I just track my spending as the month goes on.
So if I'm close to my limit, then it's like, hey, girl, you got to pull back spending.
But something else that I find that I do a lot is when I am looking at what I spend, because I usually check my spending at least once a week.
I usually find themes with how I'm feeling because that really impacts my spending.
So I find when I'm in a very balanced place, I don't really overspend.
You know, I buy essentials.
Sometimes I spoil myself, but I'm pretty on budget.
But if I am maybe going through a difficult time or in need of a lot of comfort, then I find myself spending more.
So I more look through what I'm spending as a reflection of my feelings and maybe where I need to adjust.
Does that make sense?
I feel that.
Yes.
Another sinking fun, Sean.
Exactly.
