tried tracking expenses, got depressed instead 😭

Ngl, I tried to do that ~adulting~ thing where you track all your expenses, and fam, it just sent me into an existential crisis. Seeing all those small purchases add up felt like a personal attack. My wallet is empty, my soul is emptier. 😭🫠 Rip my budget, rip my mental health. Send help. #budgetingfail #genzstruggles #brokebuthappyish #financialtrauma

OMG I FELT THIS IN MY SOUL. Every time I open a budgeting app it's like my phone screens 'ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR IMPENDING DOOM?'. Especially all the coffees and DoorDash. It's a vibe tho right? πŸ˜‚

Hard same. It's rough seeing it all laid out. Don't beat yourself up about it though! It's a process. Maybe just start small, like tracking one category first? Or just acknowledging that you did the brave thing by even looking!
