When I Realized I Needed a Budget

It hit me during a coffee run that cost $7. I checked my bank app and realized I had spent $120 on coffee that month alone. My rent, bills, and groceries were fine, but my “small habits” were silently draining me. That moment pushed me to create a proper budget and track every dollar. It was uncomfortable at first, but I finally felt in control of my money instead of letting it control me. #Finance #MakeMoney #FinancialJourney

From Janitor to $100K Net Worth—But My Job Is Draining Me! 😩💸

I can hardly believe it—my net worth just hit $100,000! Looking back, I started out as a janitor making $12 an hour, sneaking in financial blogs during my breaks and dreaming of a better future. Now, at 34, I’m a software engineer earning $130,000 a year, and I’m a single mom living in a mid-sized city. But honestly, work has been tough lately. My team is understaffed, my boss keeps piling on extra projects, and I feel like I’m always one mistake away from being called out. The pressure is getting to me, and sometimes I wonder if I’m really cut out for this. I want to keep growing my savings and eventually buy a home, but the stress is overwhelming. Has anyone else felt this way after moving up in their career? How do you handle the pressure and keep your motivation up? I’d love to hear your advice or stories! 🙏💬 #CareerGrowth #WorkplaceStress #FinancialJourney
