I need a better approach (and always have)

Daily writing prompt
Write about your approach to budgeting.

I’d love to tell you that I’m the second coming of Dave Ramsey and that I financially have my stuff completely together. Honestly, I’ve never been amazing with money. That’s not to say I’m terrible with it. I’m not. But I’ve lived my life around people who are, and I’ve always admired their ability to amass some nice nest eggs with a decent cushion that allowed travel to some pretty nice places. I see pictures from Ireland, France, Japan, etc. The only international travel I’ve experienced in my adult life is some trips across the border into Mexico when I lived in South Texas.

So clearly, while I’m “doing OK,” I could clearly also be doing better at budgeting. Does anyone have any good ideas?
