My expenses quietly rose over the last few months: more delivery meals after long shifts, a couple of subscriptions, rides when I could have walked. No single purchase was outrageous, which is why it took me so long to notice. I want to bring spending back down without turning life into a punishment spreadsheet. I'm starting with a weekly takeout limit and reviewing recurring charges. What small change actually stuck for you after a period of lifestyle creep?
