Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I try to trim a little off everything and end up miserable about all of it while barely saving a dime
- I spend on whatever everyone around me seems to spend on, and at the end of it I couldn’t tell you what actually made me happy

- I keep telling myself I’ll save whatever’s left at the end of the month, and somehow there’s never anything left
- It’s all just one big checking balance, so a healthy-looking number tells me I can spend
