Budget my paycheck ($713.59) This pay period I worked a decent amount of hours but it could have been better. So I only got paid $713.59. And y'all already know the first thing I did was put $150 into my high yield savings account and $100 into my brokerage account. And I'm currently investing in four ETFs. So I split it $25 $25 each VOO, QQQ, VTI and VGT. The next thing I did was I did get my mom $200 just to help her out with her car or whatever she wants, whether it's groceries or just something to help her out. Because I wouldn't be here without her, literally every single day. So yeah, thank you for her. And that literally every single day. And the next thing I did was I budgeted $50 for gas. I know what y'all are thinking, why only 50? I drive a Kia K5 and I pump 87. So the gas isn't that expensive, but it has been going up. And I don't really go that many places. So yeah, $50 does the job perfectly. And the last thing I did was, and before y'all come at me, bro, I did spend $9 on a Netflix subscription. 😩 I don't watch movies like that, but that new Outer Banks is coming out and I don't know if y'all know. I am a fan of that. And yeah, so I did drop $9 on Netflix, but I will be canceling it next month. So yeah, $9 on Netflix and yeah, so that left me with a total of $164.59 for the next two weeks. Let's see if I can do it. Thank you guys. Peace.
