In the spirit of transparency, accountability, and community, I am sharing my weekly spending tracking from the past week.

With things feeling pretty uncertain lately, I have been feeling a need to re-assess my budget and spending.

One area I have not cut back this month is in celebration spending. With everything going on, I am in need of some celebrating. So, birthday and Valentine’s Day gifts was a big spend category this past week, and I am okay with that.

A big part of the reason I am able to prioritize spending for celebrations is by intentionally setting a budget, contributing to sinking funds each month, and tracking my spending each week.

Weekly tracking helps keep me mindful, aware, and accountable in how I am keeping (or not keeping) to my budget for the month. If you would like a tool to use to track your own spending, you can find the spreadsheet I use here.
