This fall semester all of my classes are online and because of this I have been living at home. And since the beginning of April I have been working between 32-36 hours a week at a grocery. During this time I have been making a more conscious effort to limit my spending and save as much money as possibly. And I have being tracking my spending more frequently because of a recent social media trend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the beginning of the year, many influencers on Youtube, TikTok, and Instagram, were sharing what they spend in a week. I found this trend extremely interesting because it showcased how different people chose to spend their money. So I thought it would be interesting to showcase how I, a fulltime college student working 32-36 hours a week, chose to spend my money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday 9\/28<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mcdonalds- $1.06 on a large Diet Coke\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon- $14.41 on a required class book <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ulta- $15.83 on new makeup items that I did not need<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Target- $46.18 on new clothes <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dunkin- $2.10 on a iced latte<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday 10\/4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bite Beauty- $37.34 on more makeup that I did not need <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total I spent $771.61, which is higher than I thought it would be. I would consider this week’s spending to be extremely abnormal because I had to buy new tires for my car. If it weren’t for my purchase at Discount Tires, I would have likely spent less than $150, which is what I typically spend in a week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
