This is my journey to apply the book, Unf*ck your finances. The book is about personal finances but I’ve added actions specific to working for myself.

If you want a bit more context, the prelude pieces are Hope can be scary, Why do we never talk about personal finance?, and Getting my shit together: the plan for the next quarter.

The first thing I’m doing from the plan I made a few days ago is to understand how I’m spending. I started by listing all of my fixed costs and interrogating them one-by-one.

Up until this point, I’ve been able to reduce my monthly costs by $301.14.

I’ve split these costs by business and personal and then looked at the groups that have emerged under each banner. A problem area did come up so I’ll go wayyy deeper into that tomorrow. Dollar amounts for line items removed but feel free to comment and ask about it if you so desire. Any dollar amounts given are in AUD.

Feel free to do a cross-examination.
