My sister called my spreadsheets 'obsessive' and it actually made me rethink my whole system

She's not really into money stuff and saw me updating my tracking app on vacation last month. She said it looked like I was "running a business" instead of just living my life. At first I got defensive but later I realized she had a point - I was checking my budget 3 times a day and stressing over $5 coffee purchases. I dialed it back to weekly reviews now and honestly I feel way less anxious about spending. Has anyone else had to figure out where the line is between being on top of your money and letting it rule your life?

Did you try setting a "no money talk" day each week to give your brain a break?

Postpone the stress and let it pile up higher.
