Budgeting, Time Management and Mom/Daughter Relationships (WWYBD?!)

WWYBD is our recurring monthly advice segment, ‘What would your bestie do?’ Submit your questions via our website anytime. Submissions are always anonymous.

We answer -

• What are your tips for budgeting? I’m feeling so overwhelmed with how expensive it is to live these days and would love to hear some ideas on how to have fun free date nights or ways to spend time with friends that aren't just going to a bar or out to eat!
• How do you save for travel when you have bills?
• How to survive through university, especially time management, any tips? Also what are your best study methods that worked for you?
• Lately I’ve been really overwhelmed with my relationship with my mom. She has always been a little nosy in my personal life (she would read my journals/diaries growing up). Because of that I have always been hesitant to share things with her because now she tends to gossip to others about what I tell her. I know that I need to have a conversation with her about boundaries/privacy but I am just nervous she will get upset or mad at me. Any advice for what to say?
