The problem with being budget minded is other people.
Do you find it challenging to deal with family, friends, coworkers, or the world in general when you’re being budget minded and they aren’t?
My family has lots of money problems that they wouldn’t have if they’d just create a budget and stick to it. For example, a family member spent a little over $3k to go on a cruise. They probably used a credit card with ridiculous interest. But, the thing that irks me is that at end of the month they asked if they could borrow $500 to cover part of their mortgage. I don’t give it which caused some headaches.
But a $500 loan to cover their mortgage just isn’t part of my budget. (I say this with sarcasm)
Or, how about our government? Does any governmental body live within any budgetary constraints?
