And I was BROKE!
I was making $15 an hour at a desk job and every Friday when it was pay day I would spend more than half of my check on a new super uber hip outfit. Every. Single. Friday. For. Many. Many. Years.
I would bring home maybe $500 a week and I would spend half of it on one MAYBE two outfits....from very expensive hip clothing stores.
I had zero money in savings.
I had no retirement.
I had a car that was paid for and I was living in a very gross apartment.
I slept on a twin mattress on the floor with my cat.
Above me in the crawl space in my horrible apartment lived some type of critter that would scurry out every night and my cat Lucy and I would stare up just knowing that any moment it was going to fall thru the ceiling and land on us.
I had a couch and a wicker table.
And a tiny tv that sat on the floor.
And a closet full of high end clothing.
I had been out of college and working for 8 years and I had nothing to show for it.
Nothing!
I needed to make more money.
I was sick of renting.
I was broke.
And I was very tired of being broke!
I needed to get my life together.
I needed a new job.
I had been a teacher...but wasn't happy teaching.
I had worked in a spa doing aesthetics but then I moved...(I was on commision there which I really enjoyed)
I had worked at hospital doing aesthetics but the pay wasn't great.
It was time to make a change.
Time to make some money.
Time to work hard.
Save even more.
And time to stop over spending!
