“Just make a budget and stick to it.”
We’ve all heard that a thousand times. You’ve probably even said it to yourself a thousand times. But it never seems to work, or not for very long.
Conventional financial “wisdom” is built on willpower and obligation.
The messaging is that you’ll just have to restrict yourself, punish yourself, and work a littler harder.
Then everything will be fine, right?
But it never seems to work out that way.
“What’s wrong with me?”
There’s not a damn thing wrong with you.
You’re just trying to use the same old restrictive financial tools we’ve always been given. Because those are the only tools you’ve ever been given, of course they’re the only tools you use.
But there are other tools out there.
There are proven ways to be aware of your spending without judging or shaming yourself. There are ways to learn to trust yourself with your money without willpower, obligation, or restriction.
There is no difference between trusting yourself and resilience.
Good news! The fact that you’ve read this far down this page means that you already have everything you need to be aware of your spending without avoidance or shame.
Only when you can trust yourself with your money and be aware of your spending patterns without obligating or judging yourself can you build a budget that will actually work for you!
