111 | How Fake Math Is Killing Your Budget


Listen Later

We are not using fake math in 2024! In today's episode, I expose the pitfalls of using fake math (guesstimations) and how it kills your budget.

The problem with fake math isn't about your ability to add or list out expenses. Fake math uses inaccurate numbers to estimate spending and causes you to leave money on the table. Whether it's incorrectly guessing grocery bills or overlooking occasional costs like hair appointments, small inaccuracies add up and destroy your budget. To spend drama-free, you must eliminate fake numbers from your budget and ensure every dollar is accounted for. 

Are you ready to say goodbye to fake math and take control of your budget? Listen to learn how using real numbers will help you reach your money goals!
