A thing I currently do is a "no spend" day. I also try not to drive that day. Gets me out of the habit of buying inconsequential purchases or driving on errands b/c I'm bored. Time spent better decluttering or doing laundry.

Thank you! I do all of these except meal plan. It's just me and my guy so I haven't developed this habit fully...yet. Just breakfast and lunch are pre-planned. Dinner is off the cuff...
Meal plans are great , start by shopping in your fridge,pantry and freezer so your using things up before they go bad. Then make your list for the rest of what you need for the week and lastly stick to your list. Meal plans that are written up and on display also stop the endless what's for dinner questions .
If I want to buy something, I tell myself, “tomorrow.” And then the next day I say, “tomorrow.” And I keep doing that until the feeling passes or, I really do decide that we need it.
Online savings accounts are the way to go vs Money Market accounts. Money Market accounts have ridiculous tiers before any significant interest is earned.
Either is fine, you aren’t trying to make anything off of it. Just make sure it isn’t easily accessible. Don’t have a debit card attached to it, or if you do have one, put it somewhere that makes it difficult to get it.
Well, they need something pay for funeral expenses so I’d do a 10k or 20k policy at the very least. I was a nurse and boy it was sad to see family not prepared financially to bury a loved one.
Life insurance where you agree to pay for a certain length of time or “term” for a certain amount of coverage if you died. For example you agree to pay $30month for 10 years for 250k in life insurance.
