As you mentioned, with the way the economy and inflation are today, it’s hard to stick to a budget even if you plan carefully. Try to prioritize your immediate needs and cut out any bad spending habits. It’s also helpful to keep an eye on necessities you use regularly and buy them in bulk when they’re on sale to save money over time. Having multiple sources of income can also alleviate the pressure on your budget. Maybe consider freelancing or looking into starting a small business.
