Impulse spending, money guilt, and trying to save while still living your life – Yep, we’re talking about arguably one of the biggest adulting struggles and that’s budgeting.

In this week’s episode of Quarter-Life Questions, we’re asking How can I budget my wage to make it last until payday? And how do we actually get better at managing our money without feeling too restricted.
