So my best friend showed me this really cool article series, Money Diaries, on Refinery29 & I was quite inspired. I read some stories and really felt connected to these women whom’s life I just started reading about. It was as if we shared some deep thoughts about how we lived our life based on our goals, priorities & dollars. So I figured, why not? Fuck it. Let me just make a post about how I spend my money in 7 days. I also am doing it to just see how much I really do spend in a week’s time, a plus for me because I can be financially transparent with myself and how much I spend.
