Mental Health and Money
This year, I started balancing #LivingInTheNow2023 with my obsessively frugal personality. #LivingInTheNow2023 is my attempt to become less of a compulsive planner and enjoy life in the moment. Don’t get me wrong, planning is great but it also adds a ridiculous amount of stress and anxiety to my daily life. Some back story: I started…
