Question

February is my second month budgeting! So I get paid once a month on the 15th. After everything is budgeted, all bills are paid, pantry/fridge stocked, etc. I still feel panic that my bank account is low for three weeks until it is replenished. I feel like time is at a stand still and going by so slow! Anyone else feel this way? Oh and I am also a recovering compulsive buyer. Stopped spending on "extras" around the house to go through the baby steps. I think that adds to the panic.  

Answer 1

I get paid twice a month but I still have this same feeling! I feel panic that it’s low, even though I KNOW everything is paid and I have cash on hand. It seems odd to me cause when I’d run it dry without budgeting I didn’t feel this sense of panic.  also. it feels like foooooorever between checks.
