Psychologists believe that in order to improve your financial situation, you don’t need to drastically change your life and all your spending habits.
They suggest treating your personal budget like a diet - don't limit yourself too much, as it can be harmful to your health.
You also can't constantly eat unhealthy food and consume whatever you want.
In other words, we need a balance that will allow us to grow our finances in the long term.
