You mean as in writing down what you want to spend money on and sticking to that? No idea but I guess not as I’ve never tried. But if you mean not overspending, I’m pretty good at it.
I restrict what I earn, so I have to restrict what I spend.
In the words of Mr Micawber: “Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery ” — Charles Dickens
In the sense of always living within my means, yes. Growing up, I was brainwashed by my parents to regard debt as something to be avoided at all costs. It’s worked well for me, and as I’ve watched other people go through bankruptcy because they weren’t raised the way I was, I’ve come regard it as one of the things my parents did right.
Nope! I suck at it! I’m good at writing all my big bills down and paying them when they are due. As long as all my bills are paid I can spend the rest and save some.
Yes, I’m pretty good at budgeting. I try my best. Xx
