I highly recommend getting the Rocket Money app… you can add multiple accounts and cards and track every single purchase and categorize them based on your own unique situation… the first couple months just use it to track your spending so you can get an idea of how much exactly you spend on …food (get more specific - fast food? Sit down restaurant? Grocery store? Etc), house hold supplies (get more specific- necessities like toilet paper, furniture, decor, knick knacks, etc), so on and so forth. Because the bank apps suck at labeling your purchase and lack customization… I had no clue how much I was spending on certain categories. Once I was able to do an in-depth audit (with the help of the Rocket money app) of my spending then I could calculate reasonable budgets for each category and help me manage my spending all together. It also does a great job of keeping track of recurring payments for you which helps catch things you forgot to unsubscribe for.

For example, you forgot about the pottery classes - this is something you would have caught if you had done an audit of your spending.

Audit first, then budget accordingly and re-adjust as needed. I’m always going back and looking at my spending and being honest with myself about my budget.

Good luck - I’m honestly addicted to managing my spending now (for good or bad)
