I may as well just have this, dare I say it, latte or this top or go on that trip or nothing will ever change.

Okay, no, it won't.

You happy with that?

Like nothing is ever gonna change.

Okay.

And see how you actually buck up against that because we, yeah, we're more defiant than we think we are and we can kind of leverage that to make change.

I tend and I try to look at all stages of budgeting.

You know, sometimes I'm in more of a everyday budget flow.

You know, I'm not working towards any specific goal.

I'm just sort of, you know, some's going towards this, some's going towards that, some's going towards savings and investing or whatever.

Other times I might be in a bit more of a push

focus.

Um, so first of all, having various different types of budgeting where you do take the pedal off the gas a little bit can give you a bit of a break.

Um, but regardless of, of how hard you're going and how much capacity you actually have thinking about making it something of, of opportunity and more organizing your money rather than like being on a budget.

Cause the word budget doesn't mean there's always the word budget is so

commonly misused because like travel on a budget everybody should be traveling on some sort of budget even if it's a million dollar budget you still got a budget um and everybody even the richest people in the world or you know your friends that have got more income than you or whatever everybody's on some sort of budget so don't sort of put yourself on one like it's a diet more just consider it organizing your money and that might be organizing your money to go towards

or clothes or travel.

And then you might, you know, don't forget that you don't just set it once and stick to it forever.

Cause if it's making you miserable, it's probably not a very good one.

How can you cut down the things that you don't like and allocate more to the things that you do like, even if that's really small, you know, a lot of people kind of go, there's not enough for that, but in some small way, like what can you do to make it enjoyable in some way?
