1. Review Your Budget — and Make It Work for Your Real Life
Budgets aren’t about restriction. They’re about clarity.
Sit down and take a look at where your money goes each month — not just the bills, but the subscriptions, the takeout dinners, the small recurring expenses that quietly pile up. You may find that some of them no longer serve you or simply don’t bring joy anymore.
Once you see where your money flows, adjust it to fit your real priorities. Maybe you’d rather cut back on cable and use that money for weekend getaways or family visits. Maybe you’ve realized you spend more on home maintenance than you’d like, and downsizing could free you up for more meaningful experiences.
Budgets are living things — they should change as you do.
