Finally, a TikTok trend is here that financial experts and therapists can get behind: Loud budgeting. Amid a sea of content encouraging us to buy more stuff we definitely don’t need (see: the latest “it” water bottle to replace the reusable one you already have), the buzzy concept is, against all odds, actually making saving money cool.

If you can relate to…
