The money is there. It's just going somewhere else.

You've tried the spreadsheet. The app. Maybe Monarch Money. None of it fixed your spending — not because you weren't trying, but because spending is not a math problem.
Spending is not a budgeting problem.
It's an unmet need problem.
Every purchase is trying to meet a need. The clothes you'll never wear. The sale items you didn't need. The late-night cart you checked out without thinking. Each one was trying to do something for you.
Your spending type tells you what that need is. Once you know that, everything changes.
That is not your fault. And it is something you can work on.
One of these is you.
Everyone has tendencies across all six. The quiz identifies your primary type — the dominant driver behind your spending. That's the one we work on.
Spends on what's needed — but "needed" has a way of expanding. Justifies most purchases as practical or essential.
Can't pass up a good deal. "It was on sale" is a full justification. Buying feels responsible — until you see the total.
Spending is comfort. "I deserve this" after a hard day. The purchase feels good until it doesn't.
Acts fast, decides later. "Only 2 left" is enough. The urge is real and it moves faster than logic.
Doesn't notice it happening. Subscriptions, auto-renewals, small charges. The money leaves quietly.
Saves — then spends it all at once. The discipline is there but when the dam breaks, it really breaks.

She's been exactly where you are.
I struggled with overspending for years. Tried every budget, every finance book, every fresh start — none of it fixed the spending because none of it asked why.
When I started asking why, my desire changed overnight and my spending followed. Budgeting is a planning tool. Spending is a behavioral and emotional event. They are not the same problem.
That is not your fault. And it is something you can work on.
