This isn’t just about money; it’s about the truth. The raw, unfiltered truth of where your hard-earned cash is actually going. For years, I avoided this step. I’d glance at my bank balance, see a decent number, and tell myself everything was fine. “I’m not spending that much,” I’d murmur, conveniently ignoring the nagging feeling in my gut, the one that whispered about the credit card statement I hadn’t opened or the growing pile of online shopping boxes.
