The Scary Truth About My Spending (and how you can find yours)

Most people never look at their bank statements because they think their spending isn’t that bad. That was me too. I avoided the numbers because I didn’t want to face the truth. But when I finally pulled 6 months of statements and added everything up… my “wants” budget was higher than my needs budget. I had spent tens of thousands on things I didn’t even remember buying. This is the turning point in shopping addiction recovery. Once you run the numbers, you can’t unsee them: – Those $30 purchases do matter. – That $2,000 could’ve been an emergency fund. – The money wasted on impulse shopping could have paid off a credit card. In this video, I’ll walk you through the bank audit process that changed everything for me. This step is painful, but it’s necessary. Because when you finally see what you’ve been avoiding, you get the power to change. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Resources My Stan Store is where I keep all my resources in one place: – Shopping Addiction Workbook – The full AI Money Coach tool – My free step-by-step AI Money Coach guide – Future guides + downloads as I create them 👉 Explore my Stan Store here: https://stan.store/DBALemon ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ My Favorites Rent the Runway ​⁠@renttherunway (via Rent the Runway – Get 40% Off Your First Month) 👉https://www.renttherunway.com/shares/reRg6V0TMUrXwmBrht9Ajg== Favorite Budgeting App, Quicken Simplifi - New Members Get 10% Off | https://quicken.sjv.io/c/5617412/861066/11856 Madam Glam Nail Polish: Use the link to receive 35% Off Your Entire Order | https://t.ly/AvDEv (Code Lemon35) ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ Join the List No spam.
