Rant: Ditching my detailed budget tracking was the best financial move I ever made

As an accountant, I felt obligated to monitor every penny I spent, thinking it was the responsible thing to do. But constantly logging purchases made me anxious and took the joy out of simple pleasures. I switched to a simpler system where I just set aside fixed amounts for categories and let the rest go. Now, I save just as much but without the daily stress, and I actually enjoy my money more. Who would have thought that less tracking could lead to more financial peace?
