Welcome
Welcome to The Broke Generation weekly spending and habits review! A few things to note:
- This review is all about reflecting on where your money went, how you felt about it, and how you can maximise the value of every dollar.
- It’s less about numbers and accounts and savings goals, and more about the day to day of what’s going on in your bank account – because that is the foundation that upholds every other aspect of your financial life.
- The best way to review your spending objectively is to ensure you have a money management system in place that allows you to keep your spending money entirely separate to your savings
