I Suck at Budgeting
Budgeting and handling money has never been my strong suit. I'm more of a creative. I hate thinking about math, accounting, taxes, budgeting, etc. It makes me feel bad about myself when I don't understand something about where my money's going, how much I should pay for what quality, how much I should be saving, etc. I take a big hit to my confidence when I just don't get it.
But handling money is an essential part of having a business of any kind, including an online business. So I'm going to work to better understand these concepts, and to actually apply what I know to my business so that I can make a profit (that is, when I finally start making money).
As for now, I'm going to force myself into a budget in my personal life with my current job. I need to ensure that I have a roof over my head and food to eat, and that's hard for me because when I have money, I spend it. Saving is a foreign concept to me. But I'm all about exposing myself to new cultures and environments, so I'm going to work to excel at budgeting.

Good luck, I do try to budget and can do it but then everyone else wants to spend the money. Xx
That's what I experience too. In addition to wanting to spend it myself, other people ask for help with financial stuff, and being me, I help them. It's important to realize that sometimes you just have to say, "no."
Definitely, but they make you feel so guilty if you say no. Xx
