Ever feel like your budget has a messy secret closet, just like Monica’s in Friends? You know—the one where you throw all the “random” spending and hope no one opens the door? 👀
Yeah... that’s your miscellaneous category, and spoiler alert: it’s probably leaking more money than you think.
In this episode, we're digging into why the miscellaneous line item is a budget killer and how it's secretly sabotaging your financial goals. I’ll show you how to:
Uncover hidden money leaks
Give every dollar a name (and "miscellaneous" isn't one)
Build a budget that’s clear, intentional, and 100% guilt-free
Plus, I’ll walk you through real examples of what might be hiding in that category—from impulse Amazon buys to kid birthday gifts—and how to reassign them to categories that actually make sense.
Ready to ditch the chaos and budget like a Debt Rebel? Let’s bust open that door and clean out your financial junk drawer—for good.
