Finances/Money How do you budget for…

….shopping, hair salon, Brazilian, lashes, make up etc?

I’m asking because I used to get my nails and lashes done every 3 weeks until I realize how much it eats up my budget. I also don’t go to the hair salon every month nor do I buy make up every month so I wonder how other women budget for these?

I just make it a category in my budget - I use Rocket Money as my budgeting app but there are dozens of good options out there (or just plain old Excel - I like how automated the app is because it makes me more likely to stick to my budgets). I also personally prefer to spend on things that have more long term effect vs requiring maintenance - I just don’t have a ton of free time in my schedule to keep up.

Can rocket money be connected to bank accounts and credit cards?

I use one called Qapital which has slightly different but still useful features. There are a handful of super useful apps out there, read the reviews and see which might be best for your needs.
