I mean, I was always short on rent money and it stressed me out. Idk, maybe it's just me but adding up all my small purchases showed me how much I was wasting. Now I limit myself to two coffees a week and put the rest in savings.
It felt like it took ages to stash away even one month of expenses. I got through it by moving a fixed amount right after payday so I wouldn't spend it. Now that it's done, the wait was totally worth it for the security.
