On a budget

- Why was my wallet calm? It had nothing to lose.
- I checked my account. The number was a suggestion.
- My favourite hobby is "window shopping," which is just shopping with restraint.
- A "treat" is anything over five dollars that I think about for a week.
On making it work
- I meal-prep so I can afford to car-prep.
- Why did I buy in bulk? To be broke less often, in larger quantities.
- My savings account and I have a long-distance relationship.
- I track every dollar, and every dollar ignores me.
- A paycheque is a brief visitor with a long to-do list.
- My favourite app is the one that hides the balance.
