Financial Fitness Check-In: October 2023
October was baaaaad. I knew it was going to be an expensive month. I spent a full week down in Guelph at an AirBnB (it was paid for in September), and I ate out a lot basically the entire week, got some beauty appointments done, and bought some things I wasn’t planning on buying. Let’s…

Financial Fitness Check-In: August 2023
The summer of spending money would be a very accurate description. Taylor Swift in Minneapolis in June, Phoenix, New York, London, and Ireland in July, Toronto in August. It’s not slowing down at all until mid-October, but I am actually thinking that we will be making a net return for the black in September. But…

Financial Fitness Check-In: July 2023
Well, I just checked my student loan account and at my current rate of payment I will have them paid off in November, 2033. And that sent me into a spiral. I have another DECADE. Doing that right after logging all my vacation month spends was not the best idea. But we did it. Which,…

Financial Fitness Check-In: May ’23
For some reason, I am really struggling with how to start this this month, so I’m just going to start writing and see what happens. This is the overall breakdown of everywhere my money went in the month of May. This chart is very illuminating to me because I would really like to see a…

Financial Fitness Check-In: March 2023
To be completely frank, I was a bit of an idiot in March. Not totally, I’ll get into it in the breakdown, but some of it was just me not thinking. I’m really working on tightening the belt in April, May, and June so that I can have fun on what is working out to…

Financial Fitness Check-in: November 2022
November was not nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be, I really thought I had totally blown my budget. There was just so much unexpected work travel, and while I get reimbursed for it, it still ends up costing money in food and then you’re tired the next day so you buy…

Financial Fitness Check-In: October 2022
October was a much more expensive month than I expected it would be or thought it was. There were a couple annual expenses that I forgot about and I impulse decided to buy concert tickets for Maggie Rogers in February. The other financial thing that is a big relief is that I have new landlords,…

Financial Fitness Check-In: September 2022
I need to preface September 2022’s check-in by saying that this was the first time I have taken a proper vacation since pre-pandemic, maybe even since 2018, and that I had been saving for months for it. It’s also the first vacation I’ve ever taken with like real adult money. So saying I spent moneyyy…

Financial Fitness Check In: July ’22
This post was supposed to go up last Friday, but instead I went out on Thursday night instead of writing it. July was a more expensive month than I planned it to be, I started out the month saying I wanted to do a no-buy, or at least a low-buy and I really did not…

Financial Fitness Check-In: What I Spent in May
I know that May was going to be a bit more of a spendy month for me, I had a trip planned to get out of my one-horse town (literally, I have seen 1 horse here, and I am a former horse girl, so I notice stuff like that) and that I was looking to…
