Hey, folks... How are you today? So, I love it when I look at my monthly spending spreadsheet and see that I've managed to save some money (this is very important for me). I'm very happy because I see that I have managed to achieve my goal of being able to save more and more money for future dreams. Do you usually control all your expenses?

I have a budget which I consult daily. I actually enjoy doing this, and it makes our financial situation so much better.

I'm always somehow 'stuck' between 'I need to save money' and ' You only live once'

Not really, I am a spender and not a saver. I try though.

We try to watch what we buy so we don’t spend too much. I also have certain accounts where we can not move money.

I'm good! Hey! I'm very happy for you. I sort of... let credit cards get the best of me a bit. So now, I'm very careful - I budget - make payments that are big enough to make a difference, but not so big that I'm short and using the cards again. I have paid off several. It's great.

I take control of my expenses too. It´s important to have some extra money from the money one makes for those unpredictable expenses

I have never sat down and actually tracked my finances. I know I should but honestly with just checking my bank app everyday to make sure we are good with our current balance and the flow of money coming and going is a relief in itself.

Congrats on saving some money. I tend to spend money on dumb things but I allow myself that money each month and I am pretty good about not over spending on things I really shouldn't.

i try to behave myself when it comes to spending money...and i'm usually good at it....about 90% of the time sometimes i just have to splurge a little. But yes, it's very satisfying knowing your budget and seeing what you can and can't work with.
