My accountant told me my "treat yourself" category was out of control
She showed me I was spending $180 a month on random coffees and takeout, so I cut it to $50 and started meal prepping on Sundays. Has anyone else had a hard time reining in those little daily splurges?

Honestly $180 a month on coffees and takeout is pretty crazy but I get it! Those little treats add up so fast because they feel harmless in the moment. Meal prepping on Sundays helped me too but what really worked was keeping a jar of quarters in my car for coffee runs so I could only spend what I physically had. Cutting back cold turkey made me miserable so I gave myself one fancy coffee a week as a reward for sticking to my lunch prep. The first few weeks are rough but now it feels normal and my wallet is way happier!

Right? It really does feel impossible to stop sometimes.
