I got $370 for my first two weeks of work and I may have spluged a bit. I spent $115 between my boyfriend and myself. That's between 31% and 32% of what I was paid. I did put away $50 before I even touched the money though

I'm lucky enough to be in a situation where my monthly expenses are only $200(altogether our expenses are a bit over $400/mo). After I pay up I will be pretty much broke 😬 That's my bad of course and I will definitely not be doing that again

** I live in income based housing and our bills, excluding rent, are around $180, because the area/state we live in is so cheap. We get food stamps and just don't buy more than we absolutely need **
