Used to split every single expense 50/50 with my ex down to the penny, now I just Venmo my friend for pizza and don't even check the amount.

After the divorce last year I stopped tracking every dollar like it was a war, and honestly it's way less stressful not keeping score all the time, has anyone else noticed how much easier money feels when you're not fighting over it?

It's wild how a breakup can transform your whole relationship with money like that.

Right after my last breakup I had to sit down and actually look at my bank account for the first time in months, realized I was bleeding cash on takeout and dumb subscriptions. I started putting every single purchase on a prepaid debit card for a few months, just enough to cover rent and bills, and it forced me to only spend what I physically had left. Sometimes you gotta make things inconvenient to break those bad habits, you know?
