Helpful Money Habits Ive found small habits when it comes to money are the biggest difference makers. For me, it was simply checking my bank account every morning. I used to avoid looking at my balance, and because of that, I’d overspend without realizing it. But once I got into the habit of glancing at my transactions daily, I started noticing little things: subscr…

LPT: Gameify habits you want to work on I started a Google doc to track my habits and assigned all of them points based on difficulty and then have a total habit score for the day and a 7 day average.

LPT: Control your shopping habits by unsubscribing from marketing emails. Marketing emails are designed to make you feel like you’re missing out on deals, pushing you to buy things you don’t need.

This can help you stick to a budget, avoid clutter in your inbox, and make more intentional …

For example, even though I think my household finances are objectively okay (e.g., stable income, low interest rate mortgage), I’m very frugal because my parents were new immigrants and so they spent money super carefully when I was growing up. …

“LPT” Building New Habits? Start Ridiculously Small. The problem many of us face when we set out to create change within our lives, is losing trust within ourself. Our mind keeps a mental tally of all the things we tell ourselves we’re going to do, and either builds up or breaks down trust depending upon the result. For instance, if out of no where we make the plan to go to the gym for an hour eve…

My parents with horrible financial habits are asking for money. I’m not sure what to do. TLDR: My parents have both made poor financial decisions for several decades.

My mom (late 60s) and dad (early 70s) have had poor financial habits throughout their life. My dad ran his own business and, w…

Having a hard time breaking pandemic-era saving and spending habits I (36M) work in an industry that was highly impacted by the pandemic. I nearly lost my job and had to take a 25% pay cut for 9 months. My company lost thousands of employees and for months, I did not know if my job was secure. Although things are largely back to normal now and I recently got a promotion, I am having a very hard time mentally bre…

It’s especially useful if, like me, you can only really go shopping once a week (it also has the side-effect of meaning it’s only necessary to go once a week most of the time)….
