Budgeting before earning – my worst weakness

Tweet

There is this issue of thinking big a planning how well I will use the money I expect to earn. I even jot down everything in a priority order. But when I get the money, everything seems to turn downside-up. My mind gets better ideas and most priorities end up being replaced or overtaken. Sooner, when the money is already spent, then I realize I had a plan. Even though I do not usually waste money, I feel bad when I realize I didn’t spend it appropriately by failing to follow my previous plan.
