Found Terry’s Virgo Money Tips & Decided to Try
Stumbled across Terry Nazon’s monthly stuff on Virgo finances while scrolling late one night. My cash flow was kinda all messed up, you know? Paycheck comes, bills hit, leftovers vanish too fast. Felt like I needed some kinda system before things got dicey. Terry’s tips popped up saying “secure your finances easily” – sounded almost too good, but hey, Virgo vibes felt right. Grabbed my laptop.
First thing Terry mentioned: Virgos need clear overviews before diving in. Okay, fair. Logged into my bank account online manually downloaded the last 3 months of statements. Saved ’em all in one folder on my desktop called “Money Cleanup Aug”. Felt chaotic just looking at the filenames.
The Raw Truth Came Out
Sat down Sunday morning with a big coffee and opened all those PDFs. Spreadsheets? Too fancy for this first run. Just used good old Notepad. Started typing out every single charge, category by category:
- Rent & Utilities (Okay, expected this)
- Groceries (Way more than I thought)
- “Small Treats” (Oh boy… all those coffees and snacks added up FAST)
- Subscriptions (Forgot about 3 music ones I barely used!)
- Gas & Transport (Seemed reasonable)
Felt kinda sick seeing the “Small Treats” number. Terry was right – Virgos miss the forest for the spending trees. My little daily spends were drowning me. This step? Brutal. Necessary.
The Virgo “Secure” Plan
Armed with my ugly spending truth, I tackled Terry’s core tip: Automate the Basics. Virgos like control, but manual paying makes mistakes. Logged into my bank’s bill pay setup. Set rent on auto-pay the day after payday. Felt weird giving up control, but Terry insisted consistency calms Virgo money anxiety. Did the same for electric and internet bills. One less thing to potentially mess up.
Then, killed those forgotten subscriptions. Took like 15 minutes clicking ‘cancel’ through various account settings. Found $27/month right there!
The real Terry gem was the “Virgo Safety Bucket” – basically a separate savings stash for true essentials. Not some huge “future fund,” just enough cushion for surprise costs. Using my tracking notes, I figured out a realistic amount. Went online and opened a simple savings account attached to my main checking. Set up an automatic transfer for $75 every payday into it. Small enough to not kill me, big enough to grow security. Named it “Virgo Safety” in the bank app. Felt grown-up.
After Two Weeks of Actually Doing It
Honestly? It was annoying at first. Seeing those “Small Treats” charges pile up in my tracker made me skip a few coffees. Almost cried after week one. But checking that “Virgo Safety” balance tick upwards felt surprisingly solid.
Results:
- Auto-pays for rent/utilities happened smoothly. Didn’t forget.
- Saved roughly $80 just on dumb impulse buys and dead subscriptions in the first month.
- The $150 safety bucket is already there for the next surprise bill.
- My bank account doesn’t look like a horror movie 5 days before payday.
Was it magic? Nah. Was it easy? Surprisingly… yeah. Terry’s Virgo angle clicked because it focused on my actual Virgo flaw – getting lost in tiny details and forgetting the big picture security. Automating the must-pays and forcing a tiny safety stash was the piece of cake. Gonna try sticking with it another month. Feels manageable, for real this time.
