What advice do you have for people who are trying to set better financial boundaries with themselves or others?

Budgeting can be tricky and overwhelming sometimes, especially when you want to set better boundaries and make smarter financial choices. We all have some experience in that area, so no worries — budgeting is one of those things that takes practice!

If you could give someone advice who wants to set better financial boundaries either with themselves or someone else (that latter category is especially tricky), what would it be?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that setting separate budgets for bills, household items, and personal items/activities helps her to manage her spending the best. Knowing what’s a fixed expense allows her to see in what areas she has more freedom to spend on!

How do you keep track of your spending habits?

Let’s be real Mighties — it’s not always easy keeping track of EVERYTHING you may have to pay for, especially when unexpected circumstances and expenses come rolling through.

It can be super helpful, however, to have an app, tool, or system in place that tracks how much you’re spending and allows you to be on top of your finances.

Are there any apps or tools you use to keep track of how much you spend? What tips would you give to someone who wants to track their spending habits better?

What area of your health do you feel needs more attention right now?

Taking care of your health often involves many layers. Those layers can become even more complex when you add health conditions, disabilities, or unexplained symptoms. It takes a lot of work and awareness to keep track of all that may be happening in your body (something we Mighties know all too well! 🙋🏻).

Based on what you have on your plate right now, what aspect of your health could use a little more attention or care? How are you thinking about prioritizing that area of your health?

TRUE or FALSE: Budgeting comes easy to me.

Happy Monday, Mighties!

This week we’re talking about a topic that people often find uncomfortable: budgeting.

From maintaining our homes, to managing our health, to even paying for the things we enjoy like TV subscriptions or traveling, budgeting is something we all have to think about more often than not. Making important financial decisions is one of the many unavoidable responsibilities that come with #adulting.

Do you find budgeting easy or is it challenging for you?

I tend to procrastinate when...

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has a complicated relationship with procrastination. One of her biggest challenges involves her relationship with sleep and free time — and knowing when to allow herself to rest instead of convincing herself she’s just “being lazy” or using procrastination as an excuse. She doesn’t have to be “on the go” all the time, but she would like to get her tasks done, take care of herself, and still get enough sleep every night.

What are your thoughts? What’s your relationship with procrastination? When do you tend to procrastinate?

Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below! 💭

What’s the best purchase you’ve ever made to better organize or declutter your home?

Who doesn’t love a good-sized bin, shelf, or cabinet that brings your room together; a perfectly sized calendar that fits all your appointments just right; or even a desk with all the necessary drawers you need to organize your items?

A good purchase can be a lifesaver.

What’s the best item you’ve ever purchased that helped you better organize or declutter your home? Why is it so great?
