Tip 1: Set a Specific and Meaningful Goal
When it comes to budgeting, having a vague goal like 'becoming an adult' won't serve you well. Instead, choose a specific and meaningful goal that you truly want to achieve, such as paying off student loan debt or saving for a trip to South America. With a clear goal in mind, you'll have a reason to say no to unnecessary expenses and stay motivated to stick to your budget.
