You Deserve to Feel in Control of Your Money—Not Scared of It

How To Finally Build a Budget That Actually Sticks And Start Feeling In Control Of Your Finances In Just 30 Days

(even if you've tried 10 apps and still have no clue where your money goes)

The Simple Budgeting System That’s Turning “I Have No Idea What I’m Doing” Into “I’ve Got This” In Just 4 Weeks

“I feel like budgeting is something I’m just not wired to understand.”

Let me guess—you’ve downloaded the apps.
Made a spreadsheet (and promptly ignored it).
Tried giving yourself random spending limits.
And somehow… your money still disappears.

You’re not lazy.
You’re not bad with money.
You’re just missing a system that works for your brain.

Now my daily struggle with money looks like:

Feeling scared to even check my account balance

Forgetting what subscriptions I’m still paying for

Buying random stuff “just this once” and regretting it later

Dreading bill due dates because I forgot to plan

Wondering why I’m broke even when I don’t think I spend that much

I Tried Everything “Experts” Recommended:

Budgeting apps (only used them for 2 weeks before giving up)

Tracking every penny in Excel (numbers never matched my bank account)

Separate bank accounts for each expense (confusing and exhausting)

Cash envelope system (didn’t work with online shopping)

Giving myself a weekly allowance (broke it almost immediately)

And it always ended the same way: I gave up and felt like a failure.

Then I Discovered Something That Changed Everything...

Out of frustration, I started building a system that worked for how I think—not what finance bros on YouTube say works.

Here’s what I found:

According to Forbes, over 60% of young adults don’t track where their money goes—and most say it makes them anxious.

Here’s what shocked me:

Budgeting isn’t about being strict—it’s about clarity

You don’t need to “cut out coffee,” you need to prioritize

Tracking manually actually makes budgeting easier long-term

Most budget systems are built backwards for how real people live

But most alarming of all:

Most young adults are unknowingly using systems designed to fail them.

And I know that… because I was doing it too.

Through deep dives into personal finance forums, interviews with:

Budgeting coaches

Everyday people who finally figured it out

Behavioral finance experts

…I figured out why “normal” budgeting never sticks—and how to flip the script.

I call it: The Anti-Budget Budget

By starting with what you actually spend (not what you “should” spend), I was able to:

Finally track my money without confusion

Pay off lingering credit cards

Start saving automatically

Understand my financial patterns

Feel in control for the first time ever

And after helping over 100+ other young adults do the same, I turned it into a system anyone can follow…

...even if you’ve failed 10 times before.
