budgeting looks easy until u try it fr

Seriously, why did everyone make budgeting sound like a chill spreadsheet task? I downloaded an app, made a plan, and then BAM! Unexpected expenses hit different. My coffee habit alone is bankrupting me. Send help plz. NGL, thought I was financially savvy but apparently not lol. 😭💸 #BudgetStruggles #GenZFinance #MoneyTalk #AdultingIsAScam

OMG YES!! literally me every single month. I make a budget and then rent + utilities + one spontaneous takeout order later, I'm like 'where did it all go?' The struggle is SO real. 😩

@rileystn

ngl, it def takes discipline. i use the 50/30/20 rule and it kinda works if you actually stick to it. 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings. the 'wants' category is where it gets tricky tho 😬
