Content: 7. Less Financial Contentment
When you don’t live on a budget, it’s easy to lose focus on your own financial goals, and instead, find yourself comparing your life to others. The unintended consequence of this, is that it leads to negative financial behaviors like spending beyond your means, and taking on debt to purchase things you can’t afford. Instead of trying to improve your financial situation, you end up trying to keep up with others that have a bigger house, or nicer car than you. It’s toxic. But the good news is that budgeting can help prevent it. 8. More Stress
