You set a budget to feel organised and in control, but it restricts you from doing the things that could really benefit your life.
The money is sitting there, but something stops you from using it.
Shabbar and Tim continue their conversation on budgeting and money mindset, this time turning to the HOW. Starting with a mattress that cost more than the pot allowed, and a city council that couldn't fund prevention because its budget system wouldn't allow it.
They look at what tidy categories hide: the cost of staying where you are, and the benefits you can't put a number on. Then the conversation widens beyond money to your time, your attention and the people you love.
Key themes:
Why the money is there but we still won't move it
The cost of staying in work you don't love, and why we never count it
How a made-up budget number starts to feel set in stone
What changes when you budget your time and attention, not just your money
