Big City...Beer Budget

"Being debt free is better than spending feels." This blog will follow the ups and downs of living on a beer budget ($40,000/year) in Ottawa. I am a 20-something girl who came out of 2 degrees with $33,000 in student loans. Through dedication and hard work that was paid off in less than a year and I now own a home. I am not a financial planner or expert, but have developed an interest in my finances and how to make the most of my income. Questions? Email me at bigcitybeerbudget@gmail.com

Spendy Weekend

I hope everyone had a relaxing, restful weekend. Mine was filled with spending.....oops. No trip fund contribution this month as a result, but I was smart with my shopping.

Old Navy was having a great sale, so I took advantage and bought everything on my wish list:
- pj bottoms - $8
- jeans - $20
- winter coat - $39.25
- yoga pants - $12
- dress for work function - $20
- sweater - $20

Total - $130 and change.
My bill said that I'd 'saved' $122.50 with all of the sales.

Unplanned spending, but I didn't need to go to the credit cards to pay for it.

How was your weekend?

That's great! I feel bad about spending money on buying things I need, but when you see how much you could save buying it, it's worthwhile :)

I went shopping this weekend too :( It's hard when you see 40% off everything in the store :(
