Wait, they said it can look bad?

Cash is a pain to deal with. The envelope system made me spend more because I felt like I had to use it all. Seeing the real numbers in an app is way better for my brain. It stops that weird mental game of rounding up with physical money. I switched to card tracking last year and never looked back.

Yeah, that "chill your buttercream" advice is key... I stick the whole bowl in the fridge for a bit before I start piping. Makes it way easier to handle.
