Because I would rather have that.

And it is about optimization and maximizing what you have and getting the most mileage out of it, rather than just being a bit of a victim to...

to prices of things, I suppose, especially at the moment.

Yeah, totally.

My spending reviews are some of my favorite things to do because a lot of the time, you know, people like me, I just said on this show, review your spending.

So they go, okay.

So they pull up their thing and they kind of go, well, can't do anything about that.

You know, that was groceries.

And I massively used to do this because one of my toxic traits is going to the supermarket for one thing and leaving with 12.

And so I would review my spending in a really basic way and be like, well, that's all groceries.

Like I just don't earn enough money.

Like I went in to get ingredients for dinner.

Like what can I do?

Whereas I wasn't actually looking behind those numbers and behind that store and thinking what was really, you know, what's really happening here.

How can I avoid that?

So the way that I suggest that people do it firstly is to, before you've looked at any numbers, think about how you think that your spending went this week.

Because again, I've noticed a lot from my spending reviews, I'll put up and go, I spent $195 this week on these things.

And people go, that's loads.

And I'm like, I'd add yours up.

And often they're people I know and I know what they do for a living and I know how much they earn and I know what they spend on.
