monthly spending is to remember “If in doubt, don’t leave it out.” Points are earned for most improved, so make it

Now that you have your current spending habits spelled out in front of you, you can rebuild them to work toward
achieving your goals. By purposefully forecasting your spending, you will use every single penny that you have to

as too big; this might direct you to areas in which you are over-spending. Try to narrow in on old spending habits
that don’t make sense anymore to see how much money you can free up.
