~ Realistic money plans for real people ~

Budgeting gets.a bad reputation because most people think it means saying goodbye to a fun forever. No more iced coffees. No nights out. No spontaneous “I deserve it” purchases.

Here’s how to build a budget that feels realistic, gently, and genuinely helpful - not a financial prison.

Grocery shopping as an adult can feel overwhelming. No longer is it just crisps and cereal - now it’s about budgeting, meal planning, and trying not to buy 10 items you’ll never use.

Working from home sounds like the dream, right? Pyjamas all day, no commute, and the freedom to take snack breaks whenever you want. But after a few months, reality sets in - you’re answering emails from bed, your “lunch break” turns into a Netflix spiral, and suddenly you can’t tell where your workday ends and your personal life begins.
