Being curious about money - that's a great tip thank you!

I created a spreadsheet budget to track my income / expenses but after three months I ran out of ... something. So your comment about brains not thinking in spreadsheets hits the mark, thank you!

Glad it helps! I am also VERY MUCH not a spreadsheet person, it’s so validating to realise it’s actually 90% of people eh?

It's a little thing, but i have a lot of smaller of accounts (thanks for making that easy, Kiwibank!) and I name them with exactly what they are for. Tricks my brain into thinking that money can ONLY be spent on that thing, and removes the temptation to dip into them for other spending. I think this is a tip you've shared before, too?
