It’s rarely the big expenses that derail your finances — it’s the small, everyday splurges that add up fast. Without a plan, your money disappears before you even notice.
Why It Works
Creates awareness: you see where your money is really going.
Builds discipline: you train yourself to pause before spending.
Increases freedom: you can enjoy extras without guilt because they’re intentional.
How to Do It:
Choose a realistic dollar amount for “fun money” this week.
Track it — whether in cash, a separate account, or a spending app.
Once you hit the limit, stop. No exceptions.
A simple boundary gives you control. By setting a limit on non-essentials, you shift from wondering where your money went to telling it where to go.
