Description
We start this episode off with a voicemail from Maggie’s mom. Then we dig into a review of what expense categories are up and down during the past two months, and why. We give a peek into what we spend money on each month and discuss our overall spending levels. We also share a few recent splurges. Mike has finally learned how to splurge! Our top 3 takeaways for this episode:Grocery delivery is expensive. Consider if you really need it and if it’s worth it. Going into a store often leads to overspending, even for the most disciplined. This is one reason why your spending may be down. Perhaps take that as a learning for the future to keep your spending levels down. Track + manage your expenses right now. It’s always important, but it’s especially important given the current economy right now.
