I've started doing a few things...

1. I tracked every single thing I spent for a few months to get an idea of what my budget should be and where I can cut back. 2. I set up an auto transfer once a month into a HYSA and another one into an IRA, based on the budget from step 1. They are not huge amounts by any means, and sometimes it feels futile. But it keeps the money out of my checking and hopefully in time I'll be able to start saving more. 3. Anything I really like and want to buy I add to a Pinterest board as my wish list. I tell myself I can come back later and buy it if I really want it. I probably end up buying 1 out of every 50 things I put there. It's also humbling to look back it and see things on the list that I don't like anymore. Good thing I don't own them!

buying things just to return them

endless free money! watch your credit card bill shrink and your bank account beauregard (editor’s note: this rec may use a wonka reference but it is in no way a Wonka 2023 endorsement)

using cash as a daily budget

pulling cash out from the ATM instead of using your card when you are out shopping/out with friends. that way whatever you have taken out is the amount you can spend that day. been doing this for years and helps me put a limit on my spending

During Moments of “synchronicity“

You were just asking your friend what happened to that band and then you hear them playing when you walk into the cafe. Thinking about an old friend and then them calling you soon after. Things lining up

Taking time to read park bench plaques

They are honor and celebrate peoples lives so beautifully and often offer insight. This one at the Brooklyn botanic gardens lilac collection is such a sweet nod to a fellow lilac lover and if you aren’t looking closely you might miss it!

Ignoring the critics sometimes

Art criticism has its place but nothing stinks more than recommending a movie to someone and them saying “but it has a low IMDB rating”… maybe it’s just ahead of its time. maybe it’s misunderstood. Maybe it’s perfectly low brow.
