"What LearnLux has helped me do is kind of learn to create my own budget, and just be able to track what's coming in and what's going out monthly, or even weekly over the past few months." - Jacob, LearnLux member

Let's cheer on Jacob to continue making strides!
Over the past few months, I've been struggling financially, just trying to match what I'm spending with how much I'm making on a month-to-month basis. What LearnLux has helped me do is kind of learn to create my own budget, and just be able to track what's coming in and what's going out monthly, or even weekly over the past few months.
So I've kind of just started gathering more and more bills as my wife is pregnant, and she's not able to work full-time, and we have a toddler. So, I've just been trying to manage paying school bills [and] paying all of our house bills, in addition to some other bills that we've received.
[LearnLux has] shown me how to create my own budget. I took that and saw what I'm spending monthly, or even weekly in some scenarios, including seeing some subscription services that I'm not using or not utilizing as much as maybe I could. I've [since] decided to cancel those, and it helped me really put things into perspective. Like, I'm spending a lot and entertainment maybe, and I need to slow that down. And so I've done that and I'm at a point now where I'm not losing as much money per month and we're in a much better financial position.
Thank you, LearnLux, for showing me how to do that.
Thank you to Jacob for sharing his story!
