Most people think they know where their money goes. They don't have expensive hobbies. They're not buying luxury items. So why does it feel like there's never enough by the end of the month?
When you actually track your spending for 30 days, the answer becomes clear. It's not one big thing. It's dozens of small things you've completely forgotten about or that have become so automatic you don't even notice them anymore.
Here's where most people find their hidden money: streaming services they're not using, food delivery fees and tips, forgotten subscriptions, ATM and convenience fees, and impulse purchases at checkout.
The trick isn't to cut all spending. It's to redirect spending from things you don't care about to things you do.
You don't have to live like a monk to find extra money. You just have to pay attention.
