Impulse spending, money guilt, and trying to save while still living your life – Yep, we’re talking about arguably one of the biggest adulting struggles and that’s budgeting.

In this week’s episode of Quarter-Life Questions, we’re asking How can I budget my wage to make it last until payday? And how do we actually get better at managing our money without feeling too restricted. Luckily, I’m joined by personal finance coach and budgeting expert Leila from Personal Finance with Leila to unpack the emotional side of money, how to build a budget you’ll actually stick to, and how to stop living paycheck to paycheck.

✨ In this episode, we cover:

• Why budgeting feels so restrictive (especially in your ‘I’m only in my twenties once’ era)
• How to build a flexible budget that actually works for your lifestyle
• Dealing with debt - and how to bounce back
• Tips for sticking to your budget without cancelling all joy and takeout
