I used to believe that sticking to a budget meant giving up things like coffee, fun, and life. However, I tried something new last month: I kept a 30-day log of every pound I spent. And you know what? I didn't have to cut everything. I simply stopped the leaks. Without even touching the things I cherish, I unexpectedly saved £210. Budgeting promotes awareness rather than punishment. It feels like you got a rise without asking once you see where your money is really going.

Whoa, I followed suit with my gym membership! Despite hardly using it, I always paid each month. At first, it felt strange to cancel, but the monthly savings is incredible. reveals how many small things stealthily deplete your finances 😅 Has anyone else started keeping tabs on these sly costs?
There is no way you are living on £150/mo unless you are being financially supported by someone else.
What is included in “daily spending”? Day-to-day expenses like “coffee, fun, and life” but not the bills?
