How to Stop Sabotaging Your Finances (Without a Budget)
You don't need a spreadsheet to take control of your money — just stop these common self-sabotaging habits.
Budgets work — until they don’t. Many people create budgets and abandon them within weeks. Why? Because budgeting often ignores the emotional side of money.
Instead of forcing a rigid system, start by identifying where you sabotage your finances: emotional spending, lifestyle creep, ignoring bills. Awareness is the first cure.
Create 'money rules' instead of budgets: no spending after 8PM, 24-hour rule before buying anything over $100, etc. These are easier to stick to and more forgiving.
Financial freedom starts when you stop being your own worst enemy.
