5 Reasons To Dump Your Strict Budget | Frugal Dad
Ah budgeting, how you court my OCD. My beautiful wife shared this article about loosening the reins on the household budget while remaining in control. Sage advise:
Yes, budgets can set you up to succeed, or set you up to fail. Make them too strict, and you’ll never stay within a spending category’s limits. Have too many budget categories, and you’ll spend too much life energy hunting and recording receipts. Like everything in life, try to find some balance when setting up your budget, but err on the side of simplicity.
