I think I can speak for myself and a few others when I say – though possible af, budgeting isn’t always the easiest. Sometimes a guidebook or budgeting for dummies is needed. It’s something that takes discipline, determination, and the ability to visualize a goal not actualized yet. AND hold on to it.
