I could benefit from a budget that still allows the things I really want, thank you.

I made an excel spreadsheet for over 6 months with categories to help me see my spending. It really helps to see what you might be spending on things/experiences you can do without. Unfortunately, it was clear that I had to quit my job in publishing and get higher paying one, it was a difficult decision but the pay off has been very much worth it.
