My brother called my budget 'aggressively boring' and I took it as a win

We were at a cookout last weekend and he asked what I'd been up to. I told him about my new plan to save for a new car by cutting out all my small daily buys, like coffee and snacks. He just stared at me and said, 'Man, that sounds aggressively boring.' It hit different because he's always broke and stressed about money, but acts like his life is more fun. I realized my 'boring' plan has already saved me about $80 a week, and I don't miss the stuff. The stress of not having a car fund was way worse than skipping a latte. Anyone else have a budget that someone else just didn't get?

Lol "aggressively boring" is such a weird flex from someone who's broke. Like congrats on your super fun debt, I guess?

Super fun debt" is a wild way to describe owing money. That's just sad.
