Your truth is YOUR truth, but not necessarily a universal truth, especially when it comes to finances.

I certainly didn’t have my husband suddenly getting laid off and pivoting to freelance on my 2023 bingo card, but here we are 🤷♀️

But here's the thing: What works for ME won’t work for everyone. I would not recommend that to someone who feels they cannot trust themselves not to overspend on a CC, even though MY experience has been positive.
We're all wired differently, especially when it comes to finances

The key is to recognize and respect our unique journeys.
We may tread different paths, but we can walk alongside each other. 💕

For instance, I personally don’t have an issue about using credit cards for daily expenses.
I've budgeted each charge & pay it off monthly, and have the cash back rewards deposited directly into my emergency fund.

Creating a budget and sticking to it is crucial for managing debt.
This requires you to:
• Track your spending
• Track your income & expenses
• Identify areas where you can cut spending
Start with the basics.
It doesn't have to be perfect.

Back-to-School shopping is in full swing.
One of my future #RichLife goals is being able to be the people who buy a bunch of backpacks and fill them with a ton of back-to-school supplies and put them all in the donation bin.

Stock day!
We get the roast chickens from Costco as a cheap protein, and save the bones in the freezer until we have enough to make stock.
4 sets usually gives us ~8L of delicious stock to use!

Freelancers!
What tools do you use these days for tracking projects/clients. Invoicing? Proposals?
For the Canadians specifically: how about cross-border payments/USD?
