I consider myself a smart shopper and wise when it comes to money. I'm always looking for deals, consider the best options when making major purchases and avoid overspending.
And yet, every month, I look at my bank account and wonder where it all went. As a family of five raising three young children, I know where it goes: mortgage, food, necessities and the occassional Robux when I'm feeling generous.
Since I rarely make big purchases, I know it's the small, everyday things that are straining my budget. And lately, those costs feel higher than ever — like realizing a single pound of ground beef can now cost more than the federal minimum wage.
