Transcript

today is finally paid day, so y'all already know what that means. Come budget my paycheck with me. This pay period I didn't work as much hours as I usually do because I only got one week's worth of work because I think the last week I forgot what happened, but something happened when I didn't work that many hours this week. So my pay was $658.71. The first thing I had to do was I did have to get two new front tires in my car and air in my back tires. So I did have to spend $200 on two front tires and honestly, it's not that bad, but you know, it's tiers, tiers cost, so I had to spend $200 on tiers. And the next thing I'm sure you guys can already guess was I did have to drop some money into my high yield savings account. No matter how much I get paid, I'm going to be putting money in this account regardless. That's what you should be doing too. So I did put $150 straight into my high yield savings account. And the next thing I did was since I am still trying to get back into investing more, I did drop $100 into my three ETFs. I split it three ways, $33 33 each. I did drop 33 into VOO, QQ and VGT. And the last two things I did was, I did budget $50 for gas because I do drive a key and I doesn't eat up that much gas and honestly, gas prices are low key going down in Georgia to be honest. And so that I budgetted $50 for gas and the next thing I did was, you know, my phone bill I have to budget it for next month. I like to get ahead on it so I did drop $40 for my phone bill. So that left me left over with $118.71 to last me for the next two weeks. Let's see if I can do it. Thank you guys so much.
