I do not keep a budget. For me, that is scarcity mind set. I trust that I always have enough and therefore I do. I grew up pretty poor, and I think it helped me learn that there is nothing to fear when it comes to having money and getting my needs met. I have not worked a regular job for years. I spend money on things I want, when I want them. If I have the money to do something, I do it. That being said, I live incredibly simply. I almost never plan things. I leave it up to the universe and somehow it always works out. For me, budgeting is a bit like having insurance or wearing a seatbelt. It is telling the universe that I am afraid of something bad happening. And if I have fear, I am more likely to attract that outcome. So instead, I focus on leading from the heart. No budget, no plans, just living in the now. Maybe this is a stupid way to live. Works for me though.
