My budget isn’t a circus —
Coins don’t flip or fly.
They don’t vanish when I need them most,
just wink as they pass by.

My savings plan’s a superhero
(when it actually shows up),
But my impulse buys? Not villains —
Just cozy cocoa chocolate cups.

Receipts hide like my keys,
Subscriptions multiply like bees,
And every time I check my balance
It whispers, “Girl… please.”

Yet somehow through the chaos,
I laugh and keep it sunny —
because life feels way less stressful
when you joke about your money.
