I’m my family’s breadwinner on $43,000 a year.
where we are tackling the ever-present taboo that is money. We’re asking real people how they spend their hard-earned money during a seven-day period — and we’re tracking every last dollar.
My parents’ wealth fluctuated, especially after their divorce. My mom would tell me when we needed to cut back on certain expenses, but that was about it.I worked part time at a gym in high school. I was never told I needed to work, but I wanted to have my own pocket money. Plus, I got to workout for free on the days I worked, so that was great!Not really. My mom always made sure we were comfortable, so even if she was stressed, I never felt it.A little bit.
5:30 p.m. — I like marking the end of my work days with an at-home yoga session, so I do that before showering and having dinner . 1 p.m. — My husband is craving perogies for lunch, so we make somewhat grandiose plans of a winter walk to the grocery store that’s further away. It’s a 15-20 minute walk, whereas our usual grocery store is just down the street. Our dog isn’t feeling the snow this time , so I end up taking her home after walking just a block.
2:30 p.m. — Head back to my laptop and am pleasantly surprised with a blogging request from a client I haven’t heard from in a while. The past few months have been a bit slower on the writing front, but they have been steady and this isn’t the first pleasant surprise of the month, so I feel optimistic.
5:30 p.m. — I call a friend on my way home from work and we end up talking for almost two hours. It was a long overdue catchup and I hang up feeling happy. She’s one of the few friends I have who still loves talking on the phone for hours rather than texting.
