A simple trick is to recast how you think of a budget. Rather than accounting for every dollar spent and arranging expenditures by

With vacations canceled, bars closed and gyms out of the question, you’re probably spending less money than you were pre-Covid.

Most people have pared back their swiping. Chase credit card customers, for instance, are charging about 10 percent less than they did a year ago. Fewer available ways to spend money can ultimately be a good thing. Nearly 70 percent of credit card borrowers, according to CompareCards.com, are totally confident they’ll pay off their balance in full this month, an almost 10 percentage point
increase from this time last year.
