Yeah I studied Finance, so I budget at home, budget at work, budget for organizations where I volunteer. People are scared of money.
Budgeting is so empowering when you're poor. I was living off of a 20 hour a week student job throughout undergrad and I was accumulating savings because of my budget. Most Americans would have thought it impossible to afford rent and food and everything else on that income.

That’s a good point. Budgeting helps you feel in control of something that will normally make you feel restrained, oppressed even

Interesting! I have so many questions but I will just ask two:
-
Don’t you ever get tired of managing budgets all the time?
-
Do you ever need to tweak the way you budget to fit the specific needs of a particular situation?

I absolutely get tired of budgeting for people who won't do it themselves - family mostly. But I don't mind getting paid for it!

Most every situation is different. One must apply different and applicable variables, especially when projecting and planning.

Great to be paid for something you don’t mind (and possibly enjoy) doing!
