Not gonna lie, I’ve been SUPER stressed about money lately. I am terrible at managing it. There I said it. I’ve never had to pay that close of attention to it and now that I need to I’m still not and it’s stressing me out so bad. I wrote out a budget on EveryDollar.com but I never look at it and I have not been keeping track of how much I’m spending. It really scares me because I have more money in my account now than I did before but it’s not there to just spend on anything. It’s for bills! I really really need to get my act together and keep track of my spendings. Like Justin and Tara said if I don’t even know how much I spend a month then there’s no way that I’ll ever become a millionaire. I haven’t been as frugal with my spendings as I need to be. Which causes me to not be happy with myself . It’s not like I’m going and buying all these clothes and things. I’ll just spend money on things here and there that I don’t even realize. A movie here, a show there and my biggest weakness is going out to eat and groceries. I don’t know how to buy cheap food. I like to eat super healthy and I hardly ever look at the price tag. I just think I want that so I get it. I’ve been trying to buy cheaper things that are still healthy but it’s still a big challenge that I’m working on.
I also love going out to eat with my friends because it’s a social thing. I’m never the one to initiate it but I don’t like turning down the offer either because it’s fun and I want to go hang out with my friends. I guess I can go and just not eat anything but wheres the fun in that and everyone is going to be asking me why I’m not eating and try and buy me something then I’ll feel awkward and stupid. What’s a girl to do? I know it’s not that big of a problem but it’s just one of those little annoying things that I’m trying to figure out.
I’m also 3000 dollars in debt to Justin and Tara for being mentored by them so I need to figure ut how to pay that off before the interest keeps going up. That itself is stressing me out a TON!
Now I’m trying to work more hours to make up for it. It’s so frustrating because I know what I should be doing yet I’m not doing it which is stressing me out even more. You think I would learn by now. Goodness…Ok, starting NOW I am keeping track of my spendings. I MUST do this if I’m ever going to be a millionaire!
Episode 81 ..you are losing some of the accountability from Tara and Justin and you were saying how terrifying it is to be on your own, I’ve listened to the miracle morning book a few times after that episode with Hal, do you have an accountability partner like Hal suggests? Absolutely no pressure but if you want an accountability partner let me know. Me even offering to be an accountability partner kinda scares me because then I can’t avoid or put off my business goals and just like you I’m very afraid of failure, but I know it would help me progress so much and sounds like you could benefit from one as well! so I’m just going to put this out there…if your interested let me know! If not right now or if you already have one I totally understand! :) or if maybe you want to chat first and then decide.. I feel like we have a lot in common in our paths, You can find me on Facebook Under Ashlie Cohen
