Start by tracking your income and expenses to understand where your money goes. Setting up a budget allows you to see your monthly spending and identify areas where you can cut back.

assuming you haven't already done this. i just put mine in a spreadsheet. i include figures for "investing" and "saving" then just put an amount i know i can afford every month. just make the budget and stick to it. if you find you can't stick to the budget then maybe examine your spending habits and see if there's anything you can do without buying.

because doing more than a little bit is stressful, but it's nice to start getting an idea of just how much money you're spending in a month...

I used to haaaaate money so I just ignored it. Turns out that’s not a great way to manage your money!!! I now have a budget that I’m pretty good with, but man was it difficult to implement. Shout out to my husband for being the leading force in that 👍🏻
Money sucks, it’s stupid, I still hate it but alas, I can’t escape it, so I may as well use it wisely.

The best advice I've found, especially as a perfectionist. As someone who always strives for flawlessness, I've realized this mindset can often hold me back. It's easy to get caught up in making everything just right, but that can lead to never finishing projects or, worse, never starting them. This advice reminds me to focus on completion rather than perfection. It's about making progress and not letting the fear of imperfection paralyze you. You can always refine and improve something once it exists, but you can't improve what you haven't created yet. It's about striking a balance between quality and actually getting things done

My grandpa once told me:
"Live a worthy life. What makes a life worthy is something only you can define for yourself. So, live a life that feels meaningful to you, as long as it does not prevent others from living theirs. Don't let others define what a worthy life means for you. If for you, a worthy life means building a large family, build it; if it means earning a billion dollars, pursue that goal with all your might; if it means making as many memories as you can, go ahead; if it means being religious and praising God, do so. Live your worthy life and ignore anyone who tells you otherwise."
I couldn't find this quote anywhere so I think it was his own wisdom. Rest in Peace grandpa❤️
