Lately I’ve been wrestling with how to keep my spending in check when there are so many exciting things vying for my attention like new music gear that seems to call my name. It’s tough to stay focused on saving when inspiration strikes and I find myself dreaming about a new synth or plugin. How do you all manage to stick to your financial goals without feeling like you’re missing out on the fun? I’d love to hear what strategies have worked for you when balancing passion projects with practical budgeting.
