I’m going to tell you the truth about budgets – They don’t work! Those boring accountants in grey suits preaching their budget bible tips are just regurgitating all the other “conventional wisdom” that’s already been out there for 50 years, and they themselves probably don’t even stick to a budget, let alone have one.
