For people with these problems I recommend Ramit Sethi. He has a bunch of podcasts and stuff on money, but his big thing is about your relationship with money.
He has a different style of budgeting, called a guilt free spending plan, and honestly it makes a ton of sense to me.

The ability to save and to live within your means takes a good amount of discipline. Lifestyle creeps and trying to keep up with the Jones is often the root cause. For those more disciplined, they can probably compartmentalize in their heads and be more rational when it comes to spending habits. For those less disciplined, a more rigid system is probably necessary.

I don’t have a system either. I know what I make, how much savings I have, what my financial goals are, and my lifestyle is in line with all of that.

I have $100K liquid cash over and above maxing out 401K, HSA, College fund, investments in Index funds and emergency fund. I plan to leave $25K for contingency. Of the $75K is it wise if I purchase I bonds worth $30K (myself, spouse, kid)? Current combined rate is 9.62 Does anyone foresee the interest rate drastically reducing? I don’t intend to cash them out before 5 years.

Is this a good time to move from pre-tax 401K to Roth IRA? We have been one income family last 4 months but I still expect year income to be in $250K-$270K range. Considering conversion for $40K amount.

Have money invested in S&P 500, and now starting to regret not having diversified to international stocks as well. Would want to diversify now to buy a total stock market index, however since S&P 500 dropped more than that index, not sure it’s worth to crystallize losses to do that. The alternative is to stop buying S&P 500 and start buying other markets as separate ETFs, to eventually bring in line approx. with total stock market index. Any advice on the best course of action?

I’m really thinking about getting a second job to supplement my income. I make 90K a year including a small bonus but I want to make more. I’m 7 years out of college and I just feel like I should be making at least 6 figures by now. I love the company I work for. I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. I’m thinking of maybe finding a small company that needs help with collections or receivables but it’s so hard to find a job like this that can be done after work hours. I don’t want to double dip.
