Great piece! Love the honest no nonsense way in which you tackle the big life stuff that somehow we are all just required to figure out. I second Oscar, lovely visual aids.
Thanks Malavika! Yes, unless you're independently wealthy, no one's exempt from having to figure out how to manage large expenses. Nashville here I come!
Amazing Jon! This is another example of advice that should be taught at school. SO important. I will do this the next time I travel, it definitely would've saved me some money on past trips. It speaks to consistency, planning for the future and taking away anxiety and bad decisions.
Also, I love how you paired it with the visuals, starting with the monthly spending, it becomes so much easier to visualize and remember.
PS. Have lots of guilty-free fun at the bachelor party!
Thanks for the feedback Oscar! This was definitely another lesson learned the hard way for me. Vacations and trips are great use cases for this type of proactive saving, since you're in control of how much is spent in then end. I also apply it to Christmas, where I put aside money all year long to make gift buying pain free. I also appreciate the feedback on my images. I'm still learning how to make them, and I'm glad to here they're helpful in digesting the essay :)
