Day 2: Understanding Income & Expenses

✅What did you learn about your spending patterns?

I realized a lot of my money goes to non-essentials like snacks and small impulse buys. It’s clear I need to focus on cutting those down if I want to hit my savings goals faster.

✅Were there any unexpected expenses that surprised you?

Yeah, I noticed a few unplanned purchases, like random gaming items I didn’t really need. Those added up more than I thought.

✅How balanced is your income versus your expenses?

It’s a bit tight. My income mostly covers the essentials, but I don’t have much leftover because of unnecessary spending.

One area I can adjust: I’m going to cut back on snack runs and avoid impulse buys. That extra money can go straight into my savings for the gaming keyboard and PC.

✅Reflection:

Tracking my cash flow made me realize how much those little expenses add up. Cutting back on non-essentials like snacks feels like a small sacrifice compared to the excitement of finally getting my dream setup! Time to stick to the plan and make it happen. 💪🎮
