Okay, so be honest ā how much money have you already spent this summer on snacks, random Target runs, or things you saw on TikTok and just had to have?
Itās cool. No judgment. But now weāre flipping the script:

Itās super simple:
ā”ļø Save a little money, every few days

š§ Small Habits = Big Wins
You donāt need to make big money to save money. Try stuff like:

Skip 1 iced coffee ā put $5 into savings

-
Donāt spend $3 on gum today ā move it to your account instead
