My whole life I never knew how to budget. I grew up really poor in the south. i was also homeless as a child for context. I was never taught how to save.
Now I just spend all of the money I make. Ive tried putting money into a separate bank account automatically but I just use it.
Ive also tried budget binders
Ive used excel
Envelopes
Saving in bottles
Hiding my money
And just bank books.
I have no idea what to do. I’m so impulsive that I can barely breathe sometimes. Please flood with ideas. I’m trying everything.
